Resteems are not used properly on Steem and most people ignore them (which reduces its value).
The reason for that is that most people either 1. Resteem 5 posts per day and more and spam the feed of their followers with unrelated posts (because they are friends with the author).
Or 2. They don't resteem at all and when they start resteeming it is unrelated posts as well.
That already gives you a clue on how to give your resteems more value.
Steemit's resteem function needs to be improved or reworked because as I see it most people ignore it or misuse it because they are not worth much anyway (in the way that everyone uses it).
Resteems just drown in the Steem feed because people follower over 10 people (who also resteem) and boom they don't value the posts appearing on their feed anymore because they are not related to their niche or they are not interested in it.
So here are all the ways to give the resteems that you receive and share more value.
How to Increase the Value of Resteems
1. Follow 10 people only. By following 10 people only your feed will stay clean and their resteems will be related to what you are interested in (hopefully) which increases the value of the resteems that you see and resteem yourself.
2. Only resteem 1 post per day. You do not want to spam the feed of the people that follow you.
3. The last easy thing to do to give your resteems more value is to resteem a post per day your followers are interested in aka it must be related to what you are writing about.
Conclusion: Follow 10 people only to keep your Feed clean. Resteem 1 related post per day and like that you are not spamming your followers feed with multiple unrelated resteems per day.
If everyone would do that resteems would be valued more but I know that most won't do it.
It is up to Steemit to improve or rework the resteem function.
They should add a "Resteem" tab to your blog profile so that you can see all blog resteems at once without other posts.
