I ran into some mental snags, and was pretty lost this past week. Not only energy was low; so was inspirations! I am starting to question everything but most importantly "what to post, what to do, and what will work".
My first post was on Sept. 18th, 2017, but I signed up in April 2017. Since then, I am at a steady low pace! Out of 50 posts, just one of them got $2.13 with zero comment, and four votes! It was something of a mystery to me. Of course, I was happy
Looking at my blog overall, it is pretty daunting, disdaining and depressing to say the least.
I set out a simple pursuit of analyzing what I did by looking at my own posts, and at other people's posts, especially the posts that have earned more than $2.00. I am not jealous or envy one bit since they were on SteemIt longer than I have. I am just set out to find answers.
I read many SteemIt posts on subjects that I am seeking for an understanding. Honestly, I am starting to have an illusion of what SteemIt is about.
So here are what I found with higher earnings posts:
*Reputation is important; you know, that numbers in parenthesis right next to your user name
*Voting power has weight in how much you can earn and give away
*You can spend your earnings to vote on your own post, and also your own comment
At this stage and in my level, my best effort should be concentrated on posting, commenting and voting. In the meantime, I will keep on learning, and one day I will get there!
