Umm...sometimes this can be rather tough with the first few hours often being when you get the most notice. But some things you can try...
- promote it in steemit.chat and/or discord post promotion channels
- (maybe) promote it a little by paying Steem Dollars (not my personal favorite option)
- reach out to a friend or two you have that hadn't voted, maybe get a resteem
- right another post that references this slightly older one and gives a link to it
If it doesn't work though don't let it get you down. Rebooting a post can be difficult, especially since it can be hard to get it on the hot feeds at that point. There will be some posts that just 'slip between the cracks' especially as you're still building your following.
OK, one last question. Is there a time of day that is better to post?
I roughly try to post between 9am and 9pm CDT (i.e. our time.) The overall goal here is to have a time while most US and Europe are awake. If your target audience were asia, you'd want to adjust this.
Gotcha, thanks again.
Is linking your other active posts in a new (not necessarily related) post frowned upon or OK to do? I've heard not to do it.
I recommend having it be related if you can. But if not...I've seen people put links to the other recent work at the bottom of posts..it doesn't look out of place imo.
Thanks
