What also helps is to:
- keep away from Steemit for some days, and start with fresh energy
- be persistent; over time your follow base will grow and with that the view/vote/reward count
- be original in your posts; even when posting something non original - Like I do with music, I provide added value to the music, ie not just forward the music in a link but add something to it (you can always check my music posts) - When posting some news event, dont just forward the link but make your own post about that event, maybe taking information from multiple sources, add your own standpoint to it, or your ideas
- start commenting a lot with quality comments; that will grow your follow base, at least it did/does with me, and may even give you some nice rewards on your comments; I do from time to time get really interesting rewards on comments and that takes the negative feelings away from low view/vote/reward counts on my own original posts.
@edje Thank you very Much for that advices! I think here in steemit the focus is on beeing original! I liked the 4th point i´ll try to do that.
It´s important to not good to pretent that you are interested in something. You really have to be interested and make valuable comments!
Absolutely! I generally take some time for my comments, add value to to poster, or even to other comments. That helps for sure to get noticed and get not only the poster to upvote but also others.
Point 1 helped with me as well. Recently enjoyed 2 times a long weekend completely away from Steemit. That helped to find the fresh new positive balanced energy again to continue at Steemit. I was so frustrated about the unfairness here, I wanted to throw the ball. But now, I decided to continue and so far so good. Regardless of the unfairness, there are a whole bunch of good and interesting people here, so that helps as well to not turn my back.
