RE: Who here has a post that they thought for sure would go viral but does nothing?

I think there's a lot of luck in getting voted up by a whale unless you have good connections. They will be choosy about how they use their votes and may go for posts that are more likely to earn them more. I'm just aiming to build some sort of following and have some good conversations. It will be great if I can make a few bucks.

Sort:  

yes, this is my impression too - it is just getting attention and gaining steam (pardon) quickly that does it, and if you have no whale or a group of supporters to propel you to the top of the list so others can see it then no one will, unfortunately - no matter how great your post really is. that is why you see some articles that are not that awesome getting a lot, and then really amazing ones a lot less - it is like being a popular kid and one who is in relative obscurity. I think the solution for us who are just starting and do not bring a following is to develop our own special connections and stick together,s o we can support each other to the poin that eventually it would matter :) this is my strategy, anyway - I find ppl who's posts I like and then just keep watching, upvoting and talking to them so that it is more pleasure being on here than just chasing digits that are out of the reach for now

Well said, I agree completely

Yes so true. You now have another new follower :)

Cheers. So do you!
