Good content? Yes that is the ultimate question.
I am a writer by nature and as a past career, so I have that aspect down. What has me baffled is that one week I write (the same general topic of gardening) a few articles and make $5-$20 off each. Fast forward to the next week... same gardening topic and EPIC FAIL!
What gives? No rhyme or reason to the influx of UPvotes, steem earnings, etc.
It often happens that "rewards go hand in hand," which does not mean that your content is not good. But do not give up, try to change the focus of your posts a bit or invent something innovative. Steemit is certainly a great opportunity. Good luck.
thanks for supportive words and comment.
I have the determination and dedication. Just need to find the right combination that I am seeking.
