My first week at Steemit - What I learned?

My first post at Steemit was of me and my friend with Sheesha, it was taken one BBQ night with my friends. I came to know about Steemit by @jerrybanfield , I saw his post on facebook and later realized that many people came to Steemit because of his video. Okay the thing that distinguishes Steemit from other social media is it's nature of involvement of visible money where we know that our addiction to social media can give us money..

So after signing up stuff and alot of wait now it was time to post and get rich! (..with time, I knew it will take time but I didn't knew that I had to work until my eyes go blind to get a single upvote)
All I knew was

1. look around

2. make a post

3. wait for the upvotes and comments to flow

4. take your money

5. buy alot of burgers

after making several attempts on steemit, I was getting quick followers but wasn't getting that much upvotes. I was curious why this was happening so I went to the journey of finding the reasons. I was prepared, my pen and notepad ready, some snacks by my side and my laptop 85% charged in case and after a 2 minutes of struggle and efforts I found out that many posts which are getting upvotes and comments are of either of these of two categories

1. Bitcoins, their ups and downs or anything about it which can rise the blood pressure of the reader for a moment. try the heading Bitcoins crashed - bye bye cryptocurrency and see the views rising (do it on your own risk cz some might flag you for the mini heart attack you gave them)
2. Guides and tutorials,
   @jerrybanfield is loved and followed due to his nature of helping people rise high by deep studying things and sharing them.

these were the things I noticed. Now I am doing my electrical engineering currently ("current"-ley :D , you saw what I did there?) and I've been in digital graphics business too (I am right now dealing in Solar Power Systems). So there was alot I could share with people on my experience so I decided that I would work on it.
so I made posts like
