Steemit is what I call a now phenomena. If your work doesn't get noticed, within the first hour, unless a heavy hitter reSteems it, it is not likely to be noticed outside your Followers, and even they are not likely to see it unless their Steeming habit is to check all of their Followeds' posts.

So what about that post you put hours into? The one that nobody read? The one it is important to you to be shared?

ReSteem it yourself.

There is NOT an option to do this via the UI, if you have already started looking. You will have to recreate the post.

You can copy and paste the text, redo the formatting, and reinsert links and pics...or you can keep a txt copy of the post that all you will need to do is to copy/paste.

The very nice thing about revisting your old posts in this fashion is that you can add the best comments (credit your commentor!), fix grammar issues, add second thoughts, and update with subsequent events!

I personally don't reSteem anything newer than three months old!

I don't know if there is a community standard re: doing this, but realize that if you post the same thing over and over again, it is spamming.

Indexing is another tool you can use to keep your work fresh on Steemit.

Have you written a series? Do you write a lot in varied areas, like fiction and photography? Maybe you have been writing a novel chapter by chapter here.

You can organize and link these all together and share this as a post; if you have a large amount of work, you can group these into separate posts with an overlord of an index pointing to the sub-indexes.

Indexes can be included with your posts, but beware of clogging your post up with your indexes. Indexes can be posts on their own.

Here is an example of my Information War Index (where I argue it is the responsibility of each citizen to learn critical thinking skills and apply them to politics, including the awareness of propaganda skills)

I have been recreating these once the three month mark, and including the index with each post.

Don't Steem and Spam!

ReSteeming and Indexing can help keep your material where Steemers can read them; that doesn't mean you should use them every day!
