The very first thing that attracts attention after you enter the Ecency application is Ecency Points. Coming from the background of being a beginner and struggling to find out how things work in this space, I find this mechanism really awesome.
In traditional social networks, there is almost no chance for a beginner blogger to be seen by anyone if he does not have already a huge amount of followers or a lot of money to invest in advertisement. However, the system of Ecency points equalizes everything. There is no need to purchase them, they are earned through the usage of the platform – checking the app regularly, reading articles, making useful comments, etc.
For me, being a novice on the platform, it is absolutely vital. My current strategy does not imply constant posting of something in hopes of luck. On the contrary, I focus on the community aspect and hope to gain some reputation in the system. In this regard, I try to read good quality blogs, make meaningful comments, and earn my points. After I accumulate enough, I will try the "Promote" button and give my best high-effort article a little nudge.
It means that a daily routine in the application gives the opportunity to promote yourself. This shows that an audience here can be gained not due to luck but rather through persistence and value creation.
