Hola, me gustaría que me ayudaras pasándote por mis publicaciones, saludos y lindo día

Lo haré, pero tengo un par de puntos que sugerirte si estás dispuesto a aceptar sugerencias.
Cuando publique, no copie y pegue el contenido directamente. En cambio, refiera la información y escríbala con sus propias palabras utilizando algunos de los contenidos a los que se refiere. Esto agregará originalidad a su publicación.
Proporcione siempre la información de referencia desde donde refirió el contenido.
Creo que necesita verificar las etiquetas (por ejemplo, introduceyourself) que está demandando en sus publicaciones.
Si usa etiquetas irrelevantes, está invitando a algunas personas que están en contra del abuso de etiquetas a sus publicaciones.
Espero que estos puntos te ayuden a medida que avanzas en Steemit.
