@everittdmickey is right - I was doing 4-6 posts a week that were long and took hours of effort. A few people told me to stop that and post more - shorter posts. Now I switched to 3 per day and make them less than 500 words and fewer photos. Shocking improvement in my results and my attitude.

And!!! By posting more - I attracted a few more little bots. I am shocked. The bots I had are actual people who added me since we are friends. The new ones are just out of the blue.

Steemit is a mystery that keeps on giving!

I'm all about argument...er...I mean conversation.
It's hard to get one started on Steemit...too many bots.
notice the number of 'view' on a typical post ? (this post is not typical)
generally you have one or two views and ten or twenty votes..

I have noticed that! And I post 3 pieces a day like you, @fitinfun, and have noticed much better results, although weird and inconsistent sometimes. I love when I end up with a curation trail, but I love the feeling of being seen and heard and given the opportunity to listen as well.

If you have a 'massive prescense' you might catch the attention of a whale.
Like BlockTrades...when a whale upvotes you it's noticable.
what a rush!

That would be amazing. How does one have a “massive presence?”

post about twenty times a day.

Oh dear! Three a day is hard enough! I'm trying to do it for a month and after one week I am kind of in a groove but it's not easy.

you can do it..
set your mind to it.
steem on.

I have had 2 'big' votes - it is indeed a rush.
I just want mooooooooore of them! lol

I had not thought of that and now I'm excited to have it happen. I am thrilled with 30 cents for one vote now.
