Ye, I know. That's why I said that we earn more $ when the prices are high but more Steem when it's low. I don't care about the $$ as I don't plan to spend my SP any time soon. Just going to sell in the hype to buy back in when it crashes again.
Ye, that has alwaywas been and will always be hard. The obvious and easiest way is to boost your posts. Other than that, I always promote my posts in #post-promotion of a couple of discord servers and try to network with other steemians by commenting whenever I can.
do you still use boosters? like smartsteem or what do you mean?
cause currently we are making negative returns when using such services i guess :S
Very rarely nowadays because I'm giving out most of my earnings in Steem but yea, negative returns are always possible.
