As a marketing consulting, I always advice clients to niche themselves in market segments that are to their advantage, so they can have the edge over the competition. I started realising that a big part of being successful at Steemit is in the choice of tags I used, so I started compiling a simple excel sheet daily to tabulate the tags with the highest profitability - high payouts, low competition.
Kinda like SEOs' "high searches, low bids".
Hopefully, it can help you tag your Steemit posts effectively, and even help you identify profitable topics that you can write on. Stay awesome!
