I am atill new here and have some more questions. I actively read through posts quite a bit and am realizing that my content as well as others is only being seen for a very short period of time. How do I remedy this and I guess can you. I am still learning how to properly use this site and cant figure out first how I am getting 8 votes immedietaly and then very few after. Seems to me like a bot or some sort of program is voting me up.
Can anyone explain this to me. I would like to find a way to have my post seen for more than 3 to 5 minutes before it is pushed to nowhere land. Lol
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Start by looking at who you're following. Is it people who you're genuinely interested in seeing posts from? If so, great! If not unfollow them. Keeping your home feed filled with only content that interests you makes you more likely to upvote and comment on that content.
Engage with others on Steemit Do your followers upvote and comment on your posts? If not, why not? While you can't (and shouldn't) get rid of followers, you can attract followers that will comment and upvote on your posts by commenting on things you find interesting.
Write thoughtful comments When you comment, is it something like "Great post"? Don't do that! Authors are looking to see that you read their posts and found something interesting about them, when you show genuine interest you get quality followers.
Everyone suffers the "disappearing post syndrome". You have about 30 seconds at any time of day to get enough attention to push your post into "trending" if you want it seen by more than just your followers, and about 90% of posts don't do that.
Writing quality blogs and being consistent will slowly grow your income. Looking at what gets better payouts and writing more of that type of blog will also help.
I hope my two cents helps you succeed
Thanks for the info and the help.
Unfortunately there is a complete overkill of new accounts flushing all good posts away within minutes with their mediocre or stolen posts...chance is a big factor, the chance of being seen...especially when new, is slim to none
