I joined about a month ago, and had really good luck starting out, got super excited!!, and thought maybe I could be a rising Steemit star! But then I posted a couple of the best things I have yet, and they didn't do very well :,(

Is it because I did something wrong, or against the Steemit moral code? Or it's just normal to sometimes be noticed and sometimes not? I would immensely appreciate any feedback, tips, guidance, whatever. If my posts are shit, tell me. I love Steemit and wanna be the best Steemian I can be.

This one I thought was a real quality post, yet it only has made $2.46 :(

This one did much better, yet still not very good for the quality of post (I think anyways... :)

This one was a very weird post lol. So I'm not SUPER surprised that It didn't do too well, but with 71 votes? and only $1.94 WITH randowhale. I thought Steemit would like :( Perhaps using randowhale turns whales away?

This one did horrible haha. $0.93. I did feel I perhaps misused the openmic tag? but I saw other posts on there, doing well, that weren't specifically for the contest so I went with it anyways.

I always self upvote. Is that maybe turning whales off from upvoting?
I usually do power up 50%, maybe power up 100 is more appealing? Ill try on this one :) I'm in it for the long haul, I see the growth and potential of this wonderful platform, and wanna help propel it past all other social networks!! ...which it surly will.

Please help my Steemiquette! Any feedback is super appreciated, positive or negative. Thank you so much <3
