Hi @chelseaanne14 – Welcome to Steemit! Hopefully you know to periodically check your Replies tab and will find this.
I've just started curating for Streemian, for the tags health, nutrition and recipes. One of my jobs is to welcome new members in these categories and help them settle in.
That was an interesting post.
There are a few things that will help your posts get noticed:
• Choose the right tags. Yours were pretty good, just remember to try and choose tags that come up in the list down the right hand side of your home feed, as they will give you more exposure.
• To make your post more readable, it’s good to vary the font size or boldness, or split the text up a bit. You can do this by selecting Editor when you start to type up your story in “submit a story”, or by manually adding Markdown tags. Read more here: http://www.markdowntutorial.com/
• A lot of people use relevant pictures to break up the text. If you use your own photos, you don’t need to say anything extra. But if you’ve used other people’s pictures, it’s good protocol to acknowledge your source. The other good thing with having pictures is that you get a thumbnail next to your title. So choose something eye catching for your first image.
• Your pic had a broken link. How did you add it? Are you using Steemimg.com or similar to store your pic? If you need help, just reply to this and I’ll tell you more.
• A catchy title also helps. Plus the first line of your text shows up on the feed so make that enticing too.
I hope this is helpful. If you want to discuss anything more, reply to this comment and I’ll see it in my Replies tab.
