The Mystery of Steem Votes

in #advice7 years ago

Hello dear Followers and Steemers!



Please forgive my look XD It's my relaxed non-shave day. I promise I'll look better for my recording!

I've recently tried to figure out something very strange.

A few mornings ago I woke up to an incredible sight! Have a look:

The votes on these posts were astronomical!!! At least for me. Usually, I receive roughly around 15 votes per post and I am extremely happy when I see more. But to have over 100 was a shock! Especially when 2 mornings ago I looked and saw that the 'Blind Man' post was up to over 1200!!!

What made me curious is that my following posts do not have as many votes. Just 1% of them, actually. No more than 20. I began to wonder what made those few posts rank so highly, while the following ones didn't.

And here is what I figured out - nothing. XD I do not find any major difference in their content, formatting or marketing. I've promoted them in the same way, written and laid them out in the same manner. The only factor that I can think of  which would make a difference is dumb luck.

What do you guys think?

What might have caused those posts to become that popular, while the other ones have been barely seen, and how might we promote our posts more effectively?

See you around!
