We are launching a brand new series “Mithril Good Read” to invite you all to travel with us in the words of Mithril supporters worldwide, who share their experience of using Lit and Vault on Medium.

First up, we have Denion from Malaysia. He’s been a Lit user for more than two months. He’s shared his tips and suggestions when it comes to social mining.

We had asked for Denion’s permission to share his article with our community on Medium. Content below is quoted from his article:


Today, I’m a 76 days LIT user. I’d written a simple experience of mine using LIT here a month back. After that I further experience and learn more about social mining through LIT. Now I’m going to share more.


HOW USERS THINK SOCIAL MINING WORKS

I think most users (including me myself) used to think that social mining through LIT is only depending on VIEW, LIKE, WATCH TIME received on our own stories. Indeed this is how you earn but it has more factors that determine the posts’ payouts. This is also why posts with same amount of view and like have different payout. It is more than just the NUMBERS.

FOCUS ON YOUR CONTENTS

In early August, Mithril released an interesting in-depth article on How Social Mining Works. It took me time to analyze and to experiment things myself and this is some of my findings. Most LIT users had already read through that article I believed. I’m just going to share what I found out.

Imagine this, you logged into LIT and these are the few posts you see… (I will give my comment based on my opinion and you might have different opinion than mine, so no right or wrong here)

QUALITY SCORE FOR YOUR POST
Imagine when you log into a social media app and all you see are posts like these. Will you still continue using it? Above the mentioned is my thought and opinion. When I see pictures like this, first user reaction is skip without even thinking, and tell me how am I suppose to LIKE the posts that I don’t like? When this happen then it lowers down your quality score thus your posts earnings will decrease even with many given LIKEs. Again, there might be users that will really like those contents and give LIKE. It’s all up to the user.

Logic here is IF there are more people that skip through your post compared to people that like your post, your post earnings will be lowered down. full stop

ENGAGEMENT SCORE
I like to communicate with LIT users. Posts that are interesting to me I will sometimes drop messages and comments. Just give you some simple examples.

Certain food picture that is nicely shot, I will ask user about ”How much is this meal?”, ”What is that?”, ”Which restaurant?”, ”Wow, looks yummy! I should try this next time”, etc. Comment like this engage the other party to answer questions instead of dropping comments like “All Liked”, “Liked please like me back”. Hey, there is notification that tells users who like their posts so you don’t have to drop messages/comments like that.

When you engage with people more, in return they know you, they might visit your profile and start engaging with you too. That’s how engagement starts, it’s about communicating with each other about the related posts/stories, thus helping each other to increase posts’ payout and quality score (because when you actually drop comment, unknowingly you are not skipping their posts, staying longer on their posts *hint hint*).

INCREASING ACCOUNT RATING
Trust me, we are automatically attracted to posts/stories that are nice (again subjective to different users preferences). So long there is a user that posts contents that I like, I will automatically follow the user. Note: There is no obligation for people to like/follow your account because when you like people’s contents it doesn’t mean people will like your contents.

Honestly I have no idea how account rating is determined but based on the info given by Mithril, so long there are many users that like your contents and follow your account, then it increases your account rating. At the same time, you do the same to others, like and follow users that post nice interesting stories.

WHAT I FOUND OUT HOW THESE 3 CRITERIA ARE LINKED!

Let’s say we have User A that posts contents similar to what I mentioned above. Possible outcomes are
1. Users (which are not friends) will skip and will not like User A’s posts.
2. Users might report (either spam or inappropriate — downloaded posts) posts.
3. Users that don’t like User A’s post will not follow and might not view his/her account anymore.

See, even if User A asks friends to give LIKE for the sake of increasing LIKE numbers, probably the number of users that skip User A’s content outnumbered his/her friends. Maybe User A’s friends also just LIKE and SKIP, and that is even worse! End of the day
1. User A’s posts’ quality score decreases.
2. User A’s account rating decreases.
3. User A’s posts don’t earn anything from engagement.

NOT ONLY THAT…

User A might also causes his/her friends that give LIKE, earn lower. You might be wondering why?

When User A’s friends simply give LIKE without any engagement or actual viewing, it lowers down their account rating. Make sense right? How is it possible that you will LIKE something that MOST USERS DON’T LIKE?The system somehow recognizes when a post is viewed by a lot of people and if not many LIKE is given, that post will be considered as a ‘low quality score’ post.

MY PREFERABLE CONTENTS

Again this is very subjective and what I like may not be what others might like. Let me show you a few example of the contents I like.

SECRET TO EARN IN SOCIAL MINING

Focus on your contents. Good contents will earn you GENUINE VIEW, LIKE and ENGAGEMENT. This is the goal that you need to focus on. Not just simply spam for the sake of accumulating VIEW and LIKE. Again, there is no obligation in giving LIKE back in return. So long your contents are nice, people will follow and like your stuff. This is the ORGANIC + GENUINE results that you need to works towards to. Here are a few tips from Mithril for you to refer.

Okay, I will share until here. Whatever I share is all from user experience and findings. Anything that I find out in the future, I will share it again OR if you have anything that you wanna know more can just drop me a comment here.

Happy LITing!

秘閱旅行 — Lit:你的內容才是關鍵!

by Denion Lee

秘銀首次推出「秘閱旅行」單元,其中匯集各國粉絲使用 Lit 及 Vault 的心得,跟著粉絲們發表的文字一同遊歷世界!

本次要介紹的是——來自馬來西亞的 Denion,他使用 Lit 已經超過兩個月,跟著 Lit 曾經發表過的社交挖礦方向去親身體驗,可說是收獲滿滿!

我們徵求了 Denion 的同意,感謝他讓我們轉載並翻譯他的文章,跟更多用戶分享。以下是引用自 Denion 的文章:


今天,是我使用 Lit 的第 76 天,上個月我在這裡簡單分享了一下親身體驗 Lit 的心得,在這之後我又領悟出了更多有關社交挖礦技巧想要跟大家分享,讓我們接著看下去吧。


一般用戶眼中的社交挖礦

我覺得大部分的用戶對社交挖礦的印象可能跟之前的我一樣,以為挖到秘銀幣的多寡取決於內容瀏覽率、讚數、跟觀看時間。沒錯,這的確是演算法裡所包含的元素,但其實除了這些數字,我還發現了幾個技巧,可以使同樣讚數的內容,得到更高的獎勵喔!


提高內容品質

秘銀在八月初發佈了一篇教育使用者的文章社交挖礦影響要素,詳讀之後我開始對裡面包含的幾項重點進行實驗,以下是我實驗後的結果:

想像一下,當你打開 Lit 之後看到以下幾張圖片…. (以下純屬個人意見,每個人都持有自己的意見,請接受不同的聲音)

你的貼文品質分數

假設你打開一個社交平台看到的照片全部都是這種亂七八糟的內容,你會想要繼續使用這個社交軟體嗎?(以上是我個人想法及意見)當我看到這種內容的時候,下意識第一個反應絕對是跳過再跳過,怎麼可能會去按讚我不喜歡的內容?這樣的情況會使你的貼文品質分數下降,就算你有再多讚數,你也不會挖到更多秘銀幣。所以,收到/給很多讚的用戶不一定會賺取到很多秘銀幣,這都是取決於用戶的表現喔。

反正邏輯就是,只要內容被跳過的次數比讚數還多的話,此內容所生產的獎勵就會減低。

互動累積分數

我喜歡在 Lit 上跟用戶互動。我常在吸引我的內容上留下訊息。以下是簡單的幾個例子:

有時候看到一些拍得很好的食物照片就會忍不住問「這餐這樣吃下來多少錢啊?」,「哪一家餐廳啊?」,「哇!看起來好好吃喔,下次我也要來試一下」等等。

互動可以使用戶提高其他用戶對你的印象,他們也會開始多關注你發佈的內容,當你開始與其他用戶互動後,自我意識會想要分享貼文品質分數高的內容,互動累積分數也會跟著提高喔!

提高用戶評級

相信我,我們會自動被好的內容吸引(再次強調每個人的審美觀不同)。所以我會主動去關注發表好內容的用戶。有一點請注意:其他用戶沒有義務追蹤/按讚你的內容,因為當你喜歡他們的內容時,不代表他們也喜歡你的內容。

但其實我對用戶評級的標準還沒有很清楚,但是從秘銀提供的資訊來看,只要有用戶讚你的內容/追蹤你,你的用戶評級就會提高。

三個要素的共通點!

假設用戶A發表了品質較低的內容,結果可能為:

  1. 用戶(沒有追蹤你)會跳過並不會讚你的內容。
  2. 用戶有可能會檢舉你的內容。
  3. 用戶不會想要再看到你個內容,也不會想要追蹤你。

就算用戶A請他的朋友去讚他的內容,如果內容被跳過的次數比讚數還多,這樣到頭來一場空,還會導致:

  1. 用戶A的貼文品質分數下降。
  2. 用戶評級下降。
  3. 用戶A無法從此內容賺取到秘銀幣。

不只這樣…

用戶A還有可能會影響讚他內容的朋友,使他們的挖礦速度也降低,為什麼呢?

用戶A的朋友可能會因為盲目給讚而使用戶評級下降,其實很合理吧?怎麼可能你專門去讚大家不喜歡的內容?系統會根據內容瀏覽數及讚數的比例來分辨內容的好壞,當比例相差較大時,該內容並會被歸類為貼文品質分數低的內容。

我比較建議的內容

再三強調,這些都是非常客觀的,我喜歡的內容也許你不同意。

以下是我喜歡的內容的例子:

社交挖礦的秘密

其實就是提高內容品質。好的內容會帶給你紮實的瀏覽率、真正的讚、跟互動,而不是隨便累積的,這是致勝的目標。再次強調,其他用戶沒有義務追蹤/讚你的內容,因為當你喜歡他們的內容時,不代表他們也喜歡你的內容。真實的貼文與自然的結果才是你該努力的最終目標。這裡有一些秘銀團隊提供社交挖礦優良的使用範例。

今天就分享到這裡,這些都是我自己個人的用戶體驗,之後如果有更多想法也會跟大家分享,如果你有問題也歡迎在文章下面留言喔!

祝你挖礦愉快!
