I think you will find more success not begging for votes in your title. An example of a similar type of post (without the constant pleaing) can be found on this blog : https://steemit.com/@healthyrecipes .
However, I'm going to upvote you anway.
Good luck!
Thankyou for your constructive criticism, taken on-board and changed title! :)
No problem.
People are friendly and it takes a little to navigate the site and find a feel for what are the reasons for 'successful posts' and 'duds'. Sometimes simplicity wins out. Other times, it's random people who can click on a post to help light the path.
Maybe you can do another post offering a prize / drawing to all commenters / voters for a free copy of your book?
This may be a good marketing strategy to attempt. Something like, "Comment and Enter a Drawing to Win a Copy of my New Book on Healthy Foods!" (or something similar).

Thankyou! That is a great idea, I have been talking to a publisher with ideas on how to have people submit their own recipes picked for publication so then they will get a free "ebook" . I would love to raise all of the money needed to publish and have readily available a month before Christmas!!
It is getting harder to be seen now with Steemit being so popular and so fast, it is a great wee community and so innovative and really does give everybody with next to no resources a huge opportunity to aim higher.
