Do you want to be popular??? Do you want to have fans and feel like a SUPERSTAR? If you are dying to become a famous Top EC Member, just read carefully and follow my few tips :-) Yeah...you are not dreaming, guys, I am here to make you Super Famous EC member Number 1!
Sooo, let's get started, here is my "recipe"...
1. Firstly, you have to realize one thing. You need to dedicate all your free time to EC - yeah I am serious! You literally have to sucrify your life for EC! Just stock up on liters of coffee, kilos of ampthetamines or other "helpers" that will keep you awake because you should stay almost 24/7 online. Like it or not but this is the first basic rule!!!
2. Like we all know EC approves everyday several requests of new members. Sooo.... your task it to check REGULARLY and attentively, when the requests are approved. Don't dare to miss it!!! Immediately after noticing new accounts were approved, leave friendly comments on the pages of all the “freshman” and “freshwomen” :D and don't forget to ask them to be their friend! (Keep on your mind that "Activity" counts and will make you more famous ;) )
3. Logically a new member feels happy they were welcomed here and will send you a friend request. Yes!!! That's exactly what you have been waiting for because another important step is to create huge collection of "friends" - ehm let's not call them friends but... "clickers" because the word friend has different meaning and in fact you don't care so much about them ..you care about their clicks, likes and comments!
4. When your "Clickers list" consists of at least 100 people, your time has come!!! Now you will write your first blog. Yeah, I know not everybody is familiar with writing BUT it doesn't have to be any masterpiece, ok? Simply post a blog, then send a message to all your 100 “clickers” and ask them to leave a comment on your blog just with some excuse like ... "you are curious to know their opinions etc.” (this is important from psychological point of view, ok? :D )
5. It is time to wait and prove you are patient. However… guess what??? MIRACLE happened! Suddenly after some time you see so many "clickers" checked your blog, left comments or gave you likes! Yupeeeeeeeeeeee, isn't it awesome? Of course, they found it polite to react as you asked them to do it and gave them your hand, when they joined this platform! Don't forget that psychological feedback works pretty good! So now you feel like a Superstar to see so many likes and your ego is raising up to the clouds!
6. In case some of your "clickers" were disobedient and didn't leave a comment on your blog... go to the EC chatroom and wait there to catch them online! When your "prey" is finally send them private message to remind them of their duty! It usually works - especially if you bother them not just once but many times :D
7. Don't forget to apply the same strategy like I have described above also on the photos, the discussions or the videos you will post... remember, you have to be active to achieve your goal!
8. The last point - don't forget to leave comments on the blogs, the photos etc. posted by other EC members BUT nothing too long, just few words because it is waste of your precious time to write long sentences plus at the end of your comment ask the author of blog to check your page, your blog or your photo because.... clicking on YOU matters!
To sum it up, it is pretty easy, nah? Let me point out that I didn't write this on the basis of my own experiences even though time to time I was among EC Top Members but I am really too lazy and don't have time nor guts to do this all I have mentioned in this blog. In fact I even don't know, how I got to that one TOP chart as I just posted blogs, photos and left some comments on the blogs etc. I like - without purpose...
After all I think I am just a regular EC member, who learns English like you all here BUT who doesn't do things on purpose and that's why I won't ever be SUPERSTAR :D (ehm am I actually dying to be?)
Let me finish this blog with the song I like a lot, luckily the author of texts didn't make it too complicated to understand :D
I ain't no SUPERSTAR..
I am just like you are,
there is no spotlight shining on me ;-)
I ain't no SUPERSTAR,
I am just like you are,
don't need no diamonds or anything,
I do my own things...
Comments
I believe forcing others to comment or like one's blogs is a desperate act to fullfill some sort of an egocentricity that lies within that person. And hunting your "clickers" , which by the way a very expressive word, in the chatroom is way too much lol. i once or twice felt like a prey in a jungle when i first arrived :/ .. Anyway, we need to be more genuine when posting a blog, u may share it with your friends and closed ones but don't do that to everyone. It is annoying! Writing should be more about passion. do it to please yourself. Otherwise if that person is very cautious to climb that ladder of ranks and be on top for as much as they can then ; Huston we have a problem XD..
well to be honest I scratched the described delinquent from my friend list.
To be honest I am sceptical towards ppl who are yelling for my friendship. I think friendship needs more than just a click on a button and the request to read one´s pamphlets. And afterwards adulating my words.
Plus I myself told him my take of his doing here. Nevertheless he did not stop doing always the same to others. Maybe your article helps him with thinking through how to be a top member.
Whatever the delinquent expects from his behave I wish him good success with it. But he´d perhaps should keep in mind that not everyone is glad with such an offensive way of advertisement.
I don´t like too offensive request for respect. Sometimes true sympathy can suffer from it.
Slow down girls! There are different opinions and positions. That is the base of a discussion. If we had always the same opinion, it wouldn't be a discussion, it would be just a boring nodding with our heads. And we should respect also the different ways how someone else uses to express his opinion. What happend? Nothing much evil, as I can see... at least in my own estimation. Luci wrote an amusing satire how people should NOT try to become FAMOUS. She is a good observer what happens here on EC.
Perhaps she sometimes shoots a little beyond the target but basically is she right. It's really annoying always be prompted to give a statement or to be asked by the same person again and again to send a friendships request. I think it should be our own decision what we read, comment, learn, write .... which tests we make or which discussions we follow ... and for example also with whom we want to chat. If I were one of them they always ask for friendship and I never would get a positive reply, I would not ask anymore. Because latest then is it clear for me, that person isn't interested in. Then I never more would ask that person for friendship.
I am not for long a member here on EC, only about one year. I don't have a high number of persons in my list what is called FRIENDS LIST ( as so as it named everywhere in social networks).
The number of persons in my list isn't that most important to me. And I also don't want to be just the number 9999 ... or which number how ever in the lists of others.
Who is able to talk to so many people? Who is able to remember details of all those many "friends"? Me not!!!!
And by the way:as for me it isn't a goal to become a SUPER STAR here or to become famous in other ways. I just want to improve my English skills and I want treat everyone with respect as so as I expect to be treated, too.
I think, we shouldn't take it too seriously. As for me I can deal much better with someone who openly and honestly expressed his opinion than with someone who always just flatters and hides his real opinion.
These are some great tips to get on top of the podium and be visible like the statue of the liberty seen from a long distance before entering New York city. :D Well, I am going to talk from a standard point of view, most writers either bloggers, novelists or other kind of authors tend to write their piece of art because a blog is an art form that attracts most readers intentionally and it doesn't have to be emotionally-based or inciting. We mostly hear something like "this is my favorite author/book and I do really recommend it" and given that blog to be more specific is an art form, it depends on whom it attracts based on a personal choice and you get better at it the more you do it and that you have to enjoy what you are doing they can have another life that readers are not familiar with so what they do is inferring about the implication of your thoughts. But let's get back to the frequency of blogging, and now we have to measure two different aspects. So starting out with the quantity of "likes" and "comments" you get for the first day of publishing your blog, one must think that the longer you blog the more audience you build up and it depends on the quality of your regular blogging but not the quantity, if people are interested enough they can reach you blog without the action of urging but because your blog seems interesting based on the provided headline so that a potential reader should be able to easily tell your blog is readable and can benefit from it, and it takes patience to build a readership you have to be devoted for what you are doing by squeezing your brain cells and spitting out all your interesting thoughts that can get the eyes of the audience. Talking about "Clickers" I would say that there are enormous demands on everybody's attention misting other's opportunities that makes me think that consistency is so important in this case. People want to have a chance to get reach the tipping point but the sometimes the sea swells along the endless walls.
yes... this is really funny that none can say a word against it and proves just that people are either scared as he is here number one all the time or they just let it be and go with the flow... if you can't see the things my way, can't get this this man misuses here others to get popular... then I guess I can't say more and I hope one day you both will realize, what I was talking here about...good luck girls ..
I knew it will come to this way, and that fact made me so sad. Pleaseeeeeeeeeee guys, negativity is very contagious.
Let's use some filter because what we write here will be read by thousands or just a few but just the same we should ask ourselves if we gain something here? if this will help other members?
I really don't want to elevate the negative but I just can't help that my friends are talking like this, yeah we are human, we have emotions. I know. :(
Discretion, if we do respect this word, there's no issue at all.
Darn!!! I find it so heartbreaking when we need to mention name names. So darn painful. My dear friend, you know my stand about this, and I know your humor, not all people can digest that. I’m naïve-freak I can’t this time.
Maybe after this, I will shut up for a while so I can breathe.
I'm sorry, I really hate that I interfere, I don't want to act smartass or a goodie-goodie sweet girl, it's just...let's be lenient.
And I want to air that really, if we find that there's something wrong about the person, a good private talk should be possible and in high consideration.
Again, I'm sorry feel free to raise an eyebrow, I'm still a friend, I won't mind.
LMAO :D you got me with your comment!!! I am laughing and thanx for this because it looks like we need here some fun :) Even though I would get this service... m sure in one day I would give it up :D
it is really sad to see you failed to get my point including my sense of humour and got paranoid instead.. I have no idea, why you took it like I am talking about you but on the contrarery later - you clearly pointed out, you know whom I am talking about. Where is logic? You know, I am sincere and I won't hide I got inspired to write this blog by Mr. DARA GINO and his activities here on EC. Unfortunately it seems like your strong friendship with this man made you little bit blind to percieve rationally reality or I just don't have any other explanation for your comment... Let me better come up with the facts...
- 2.285 "friends" on his list talks for itself,
- almost each his comment on sb's blog or picture ends up with selfish promotion of his page, blog etc., which I find pretty rude and disrespectful,
- no contribution to EC as an English teacher (apart from few short videos about grammar, which everybody can look up in every English textbook) - instead of it begging others to read and comment on his blogs,
- no groups etc. he would create for people to be more beneficial nor challenges, instead of it he spends his time on sending daily 30 or even more comments to others to check his blogs, page ehmmm - TO CLICK ON HIM :D
I could name many other things but I bet you will disprove them, so I just find it useless... Call me disgusting, stupid whatever I just came up with something, what is called PUBLIC SECRET and said it indirectly out of loud... Wish you nice friendship with a guy, who has no idea who you are ;)
Luci,
Your wish is my command!!! :)I promise I'll always keep the memory of your big courage :p
