RE: ❓Answering Common Questions: I'm getting frustrated...Are my Expectations too high? 🙍

First let me say it looks like you're doing pretty well for only a few weeks in! On top of that, congrats on hitting 50 rep.

Sometimes i give all my heart out and i put alot of effort and to see i only barely got a dollar from it hehe. But somedays its just a simple post then it gets more attention.

I can relate...I've been in that same spot. Unfortunately on Steemit you never quite know what things are going to 'pop' and get a 'good' payout. Consistency on all posts can be difficult in general and especially for newbies.

What is the best time do you suggest to post content?

Personally, I try to post between 7am and 9-10pm CST. For newbies, getting those early votes are quite helpful because it puts you into the 'hot' feed.

However, there's always somebody up somewhere. :P

A couple suggestions looking at your blog...

in your tree photo posts...include the nature tag. Most of your posts can have the life tag too (I saw a few had life already..nice!)
Remember your first image in a post becomes the thumbnail pic when the post is shown in lists. The ideal dimensions for a thumbnail is 800x480. Things don't have to be this size, but somethings the picture doesn't pop with it being cropped.
On photo posts put the most eye catching / wow picture as the first one...since it's the thumbnail
Some of your posts have too many pictures, with little text.
Make text between pictures a 'large size' font (either selecting large font in the editor or putting ## at the start of a line in markdown.

If you've not, I recommend checking out steemit.chat (if you havent already) and possible @steemspeak in discord. It'll let you promote your posts and meet other people.
