Don't spend all your energy on your own posts. It's good if you have one or two so people know what you are about but think of it this way: if you are just trying to get people to read your posts, you are competing with everyone else at steemit, and not only that, you are a small fry right now. If instead you spend more of your time commenting and making friends, showing interest in other peoples hard work, you are participating in the community and others will appreciate it and give your posts the time they deserve.
Thankful for every hint how to handle steemit :D
I´m also commenting and reading other posts too of course.
Some friendships already formed.
I guess I just want too much in too little time.
But some posts don´t even get 5 views :D
While others get hundreds or thousand?!
Hm ...
I try to engage with all kinds of posts as long as they have something to say, some trending, some barely viewed, some from people I know and a lot from people I don't. It seems to have worked, I managed 120 followers in 2 weeks after banging my head against the wall for the first week. The chat room is also good help. The better your comments, the more likely you are to bring people over to your page, of course, but it also has to do with timing, if you post a good comment early, it's more likely to get attention than if you post it later. I left a really awesome comment on a post today and got 8 followers from it.
There are users who spend a lot of energy promoting new users, I link to 5 of projects in this post https://steemit.com/the50/@whatamidoing/milestone-post-100-followers-settling-in-and-minnow-support-goups
I will follow you for some support. I know how it is trying to get heard, I was there a few days ago!
Thanks man, I appreciate your input - and your follow up!
I´ll bring some more valuable content soon - I promise :)
Have a good day
You too! And gotta warn you, my latest post was a parody of this get-rich-quick scheme that everyone was freaking out about today haha
