-- I recently went to 11 of 30 Top users of Digg and asked them what advice they have for the up and coming Top Digg Users. This is what they had to say. --

It looks like it boils down to the Golden Rule. Digg others so they'll digg you. :) I'd say the same applies to the Vine.

I think that a lot of their advice would work on Newsvine.

Something I've always believed:

Quality is more important than quality. Consistency just becomes more important if you don't play the quantity game.

It's important to seed on a pretty stable and regular schedule. (Or, if you write, it's important to do that on a stable and regular schedule.)

If people come to expect you to write or seed at a particular time and suddenly see you divert from that schedule -- you become unreliable as a source.

My feeling is that seeding 100 articles a week just means that 90 of your articles are probably going to be overlooked by a large number of users.

What's the sound of one hand clapping?

;)

You've grabbed the pebble, grasshopper -- you're ready for your next lesson:

Quality is also more important than quantity.
