Well, while I am a little bit disheartened by my situation in regards to posting, It just made me concentrate on other things, namely translation efforts, that is helping the non-english community (Russian one, since that is the one I am a part of) to be able to have coherent posts. I also charge a little for my service, but more important is that 'translated by @xanoxt' thing, that is a part of the deal that I have them agree on.
I've noticed the upswing in followers, after the posts with that bit in the end, while not actually writing much myself.
Since Russians have a lot of people that don't speak or read English, I also joined the efforts of @rusteemitblog, that translates posts of @ned, @dantheman, and @infovore, for the Russian audience, with their blessing of course. The best thing is that they use the SBD proceeds of the posts to power up the translators, so our efforts have a return.
I feel that I had to share this, because it is also a good strategy, for adding value to Steemit indirectly, and it seems to be working. :-)

That's a fantastic idea @xanoxt! There is an absolute need for services like that! If we run across someone needing some russian translation help mind if we refer them your way? Many of us are not of use in that area. :)
More generally, I love how you were able to 'think outside the box' a bit to find a much needed niche! Have you posted your service on steemswap.com?
Nope, but I will now. Thanks for the encouragement. A bit of it I did after chatting with you. I decided against going via featured author way for now, which could have probably bring me some money, but is a bit too much effort for the previous posts. I've started saving the drafts of my posts for the future though.
Update: most likely a wrong place for that kind of ad, but to encourage people to use it I'll put it there. It is advertised by word of mouth in the Russian community though. I'll probably write a post about it too.
I'm happy to help where i could! And that's always nice, having those drafts available for when you're in the mood. No stress, just enjoyment. :)
Yea, even if not there, putting it in a post is great! I love how you're approaching everything.
