RE: Why you should STOP voting for your own posts? - From one minnow to another

in #steemit7 years ago

When I wrote my introduceyourself post, I was filled with the hope that my post would break the bank, then 16hrs later it was not even worth $0.10.I was totally disappointed because I have seen this type of posts generate a couple of $$$ for the author, so in my mind I was thinking it's because I'm Nigerian (due to the believe tha virtually all Nigerian on the internet are scammers) then I came across this post https://steemit.com/steemit/@dwinblood/joining-in-on-the-self-voting-on-comments-fray. After reading,my orientation changed that was when I stopped self-voting my own comments, disabled the auto upvote and even removed a couple of self voting I have done. Then I made my next post, and the next one(all still under $0.10), then yesterday I made a post about "religion and logic" sombody(I guess the person found it to be Intresting) upvoted the post and it was worth $25.That was when it dawn on me that if my post isn't generating enough votes it means people don't like it enough to recommend it(lift it up) for other members of the community and what I need to do is improve on the content I deliver and leave it to steemians to decide whether my effort is worth certain rewards.
