Steemit is tough. And unpredictable. And we are living in a world that wants to read a novel in two minutes and watch a movie on fast forward !!! But there are some things that click. I can give you suggestion if you don't mind :)

We welcome any and all advice!! We want to crack the steemit code!!

:) Nobody can crack the code of life, or the code in steemit !! :D . But some things help.
1- In a single post, have a maximum of 1 to 4 photos. Try not to clutter the post with too many photos. Or your good photos will get lost in the crowd.
2- Do not post the entire travelogue in one post.
3- Select a few interesting pics. Write your interesting anecdote attached to the pic. What made you click that photo, for example. What happened when you were clicking it , etc etc.

  1. -It should be a short, crisp interesting read of 1 or 2 minutes.
    5 - Start the post with your best photo. After the text, post the associated 2 to 3 photos with just one line description.
    6 . distribute your travelogue into a series of uploads.
    7- try to use the popular contest hashtags like colour challenge in your post according to the dominant colour in your main photo :)

See my latest 2 uploads - one on Tippy and the other on Wally. You will get an idea as to what I am talking about.

Always remember, people nowadays do not have time ! :)
Never have a lengthy blog post.
Short, crisp and interesting text, drawing focus on the best photo helps :) . And never be disheartened. Don't create for the masses. Creation is only for self :)
I wish you success, @travelfreaks :) !! Where are you from ? :)

Thanks for the constructive advice!! We'll definitely look at adjusting how we post in future!! We're from Canada and France.. our home base is in Canada nowadays too.. what about you @nehab?

most welcome :) .... Also on steemit I have noticed that blogging rules and earning system are two different segments. Good blogs often go unnoticed.... Physically from from India. Soul resides in Europe. Citizen of the world :) :D.

Love it!! We're actually headed to India in January :) which part are you from?

I've noticed that too.. often a lot of the blogs
I think are well written and just plain awesome fly waaay under the radar while some that are just gifs and google images pasted in with a couple lines of boring, unimaginative jargon earn incredible sums.. go figure!! We'll just have to keep on trying!
