@collin22000 - I don't mind when people share links on my posts, but I ask that they be at least tied in to the topic of conversation. When you post something unrelated like this, it takes away from what we are trying to talk about here. I know that it is hard to get recognition when you post things, and often times good posts go unrecognized. Going about it the way you did though, is not the way to handle it. If everyone did what you did, then Steemit would become a spammy mess!

Also, you will probably soon find (since you added this to a lot of other posts too) most people in the community will downvote/flag you for this, and your post payout + reputation will actually go down. It has nothing to do with how good your post is - it is just the way you went about advertising it is incorrect.

Here are five things that you can do, which should help you with your effort to get your post noticed:
-Join Steemit.Chat (link in the menu on the right) and post your link in this channel. You are allowed to post your link here once every two hours. https://steemit.chat/channel/postpromotion-moderated
-If you think your post is really good, you can ask a friend to review it for you and recommend it to either the "Robinhood Whales" or "Project Curie" chat groups.
-Go to the https://steemit.chat/channel/steemprentice channel and ask for help
-If you are able to purchase "Steem Dollars" (SBD), and your post is in the first 24 hour payout window - you can use them to promote your post. By spending a few dollars, it will show up in a list that many users frequently check for good posts.
-If you can find posts that are related to yours, and find a way to tie them in to the author's discussion, then you may find people who find what you have to say relevant and want to check out your link for more information. It needs to be done in a way that adds value to that author's post though, and not just adding a comment to their post for the sake of sharing your link.
