"Why am I not getting upvotes for my well-written posts that took me hours to research and construct?"
I started out doing those long posts and soon realized is was not worth my effort as a small fish here. Now instead I:
- post 2-4 times a day - most of those are short posts - a few a week are longer and take more time. I break long posts up when I can.
- post many contest entries a week in replies and comments as asked.
- spend much more time interacting on other people's posts than posting my own
- join discord groups in my niches that give votes.
- post on platforms that give votes, such as esteem, ulogs, and busy.
- Use steemdunk to autovote people I care about and thank God for the people who do that for me too.
- Use kyrptonia, qurator, feedyourminnows and sbi among some others to get daily votes on my posts.
My motivations are:
- helping fat people lose weight naturally like I did.
- paying the rent so I can continue with the above.
Everything I do an all social media is in support of those two goals.
