HOW SOME STEEMIT USERS ARE GETTING MORE UPVOTES WITH LESS EFFORT?
There are some times when the response rate on Steemit is very good. That means, when you do a post during these times, your post is likely to get more traction. Obviously, this can't be true for all the people because there are some pre-requisites that every bloggers at Steemit should keep in mind.

Here are the key points:
i. Your Blog Post Headline Is The Key
ii. The Opening Sentence Of Your Blog Is Also A Critical Point That Brings You More Traction
iii. The Body Of Your Blog Post
HEADLINE
If the headline of your blog post is not attractive, it will fail to attract the attention of lots of people. Less people driving at your blog post page means there will be less upvotes and other activity that is important to bring any post up in Steemit searches. The result would be a less earning as compared to lot of effort put in a post. So, first point is spend more time on your bog post headline and come up with 2 to 3 or even 4 headlines so that you could choose the best one.
THE OPENING SENTENCE
The opening sentence is important because when your blog post is shown in feed of other users, only headline and the opening sentence of your post is visible. People click only those posts that attract to them through headline and the opening sentence. So, make best use of this space so that your audience gets attracted and clicks on your post.
BODY
Once anyone from your audience clicks on your blog post, almost half of the job is done. Most of the people do the upvotes just taking a look at the headline and the opening sentence. However, if you want to be part of a long race, you need to build your brand image. People who have become brands here at Steemit, go an extra mile and write quality content. Since their posts are valuable and they keep doing it over and over again, so people trust in them and click upvote button soon after they see any of their posts in their newsfeed.
HOW TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST TIME?
Different Steemit users have different audience/followers so their right time for posting is also different. This is so because the all the followers of a Steemit user are not from a single country. So, because of timezone difference, the posting time is different for different users.
TIP 1: If you're writing on a specific topic, take a look at the top earning articles on this topic/category and post it during that time.
TIP 2: Always post at the same time and stick to this timetable if you want to earn a brand image at Steemit.
