RE: IS IT THIS HARD??

Sorry you are sad ♦♦ I am here, I feel yr pain.
(I just voted your post up ) - so that's a bit of change.

INFO:
There is actually a project to help the Minnows -- it's called The Minnow Support Project, & I understand it uses bots to upvote & curate.

So it's sort of 'on autopilot' -- it locates quality posts (with a lot of detail to them -Hint, hint ☻)

Here's a bit about the Minnow Project:

And then, I will give you an example of how detailed a post should be to garner ATTENTION (from my own vault of posts) :

You can vlog, too ♦♦ But you need to develop a Script (and organize everything ) - your #video should have a good title, good description, and decent tags (but not 'too many' ).

I'll share w/ you a Resource I just got about video (of course, it's just a guide -- if you create a video for #Steemit, you don't necessarily have to perform all the #SEO for it).

Here is " YouTube SEO Cheat Sheet" for 2018 :

Then, too, I'll give u a Resource w/ "29 Ideas" of #Creative posts for you .. at Steemit :

P.S. - If u can, you should invest in a Pkg of Images (high quality ones) to use on your posts - that can truly GRAB peoples' eyeballs !

I use Adobe - yet u can find PLR pkg of images, too
