1. YOUR NOT USING VISUALS IDEAS STRONGLY ENOUGH WITH YOUR WORDS.
Research suggests that 80% of the information that our brains process is visual, as the human brain is hard-wired to look at images, so always include QUALITY images in your post. The number of posts I see on Steemit with no images and no up-votes is HUGE!
2. YOUR AUDIENCE IS FAILING TO UNDERSTAND YOU.
Do you understand your niche reader on Steemit? Take time to try and work out who they might be, and write the best that you possibly can for them.
3. YOUR WRITING IS DRY WITH NO NARRATIVE.
I read many dry posts on Steemit with no flow, no metaphors, descriptive words or images. All these elements help people engage in a deeper way with your post. Try to tell an emotional story, as people love to hear stories on Steemit.
When your readers feel connected, they're more likely to up-vote and resteem your posts. Try to write from the heart as much as you possibly can, and you'll connect to those who love your work.
Happy posting!
