The important thing is, when you make, your wonderful and beautiful post, which you wrote a few hours (or a few days:D) to tag well. You have to determine the appropriate topic of your post and select matching tags to get to the right recipients. I think everyone knows :)...Well, be properly rewarded. Because everyone likes to be appreciated for their hard work.
This page is helpful: https://steemit.com/tags/trending .You can rate the popularity of tags and choose the ones that are right for your topic...choose best payouts, most popular, comments...Or You can make your own tag.
But there is one more thing to say about it. Tags created especially for upvotes.This is a great idea for new steemit users:
#UpvoteForUpvote ...so name tag say all
#TrevonJB this is hashtag created for supporters and frends @trevonjb
#CraigRant This hashtag is similar to trevonjb
Is this way of tagging works? I don't know, I'll see for myself soon :)
