Attention seeking journalists

The way popularity works is:

If you want to get attention from the population you have to be visible.


How do you go about it?

Write a decent article with not too many words! The average erepublik player is not that interested in, in depth analyses that they can’t process in a span of 5 minutes.





Don't indulge on heavy text.




Make friends...a lot of friends...hell, become frenemies with the worst of them! Nothing is as exhilarating as a good discussion in the comment section.






This brings me to the real purpose of this article: a pyramid voting and shoutings scheme for media coverage to maximize visibility and widen your readers base.
We journalists, historians and novel writers thrive on whether or not people read what we write. Lately with the demising players base the reader's numbers have declined rapidly. There is nothing much that we can do about that but we can make sure that every interesting article gets maximal attention by promotion.

Most of you, me included, don’t spend too much time on erepublik and we all probably miss some articles. Therefor I am going to suggest we set up a system where we contact each other with articles worth voting and shouting.

If anyone has written an article they can contact one person, say William Riker. He will be the head of the pyramid. He will send a personal message with the link and the accompanied shout to two other players who in turn have two new people who they send a personal messages and so on. You always send to the same two players to make it less time consuming and most likely to be done. When you receive the PM you post the link and shout on your feed as much as you like but at least one time.

Network marketing




Before this can happen we need to make sure to befriend each other and also make a list of players that want to participate.
