Post quality, original content.
Eh, the range of topics that receive attention is rather small right now. You can do like some and just focus on a certain topic you know will receive upvotes because someone before you has shown it will earn upvotes, but if you stray from the path with your quality original content it's not likely to take off.
To easily earn right now, you must be willing to pander. And there are plenty here willing to do just that to the point that it's obnoxious at times. It's just not as black and white as "post quality, original content", is all I'm saying. Think I'm wrong? Prove me wrong!
Perhaps my post will help prove me wrong (it usually does). Just by bringing this up from time to time seems to loosen the purse strings of the whales and helps to take their focus off of Steem/Steemit/Bots/Philosophy/Tutorials related post, because most people love proving other people wrong ... especially outspoken people who they feel have called them out.
So consider this your opening to post about something unusual that oft-times does not get rewarded. With this post alone I have loosened the narrow topic focus of a few whales whose eyes this post may cross. Out of guilt or the desire to show others they have a broader scope of interest, they will begin upvoting a more varying array of topics. And now you can take advantage of it for the next 24-72 hours, because the doors close quickly my friend and back to Steem Bot Basic Income Philosophy Tutorials their attention will run. So be quick about it and be sure to use your proper Markdown syntax with images!
BTW, I need a Dev to build me a Basic Income Bot that post Steem Philosophy Tutorials between the hours of 14:00-20:00 UTC. Because nothing says original like following a trend! Please upvote this post so that I can afford you, and feel free to contact me anywhere you please if interested.
