RE: Post101 : We The Small, Help US!

It's important to build a following through interests. People will be more willing to follow you if you give them a reason to. Find your niche. Talk anout your part of the world. Do a kindness and write about it with the tag #operationhumanangels.

Have a cat? Post about it using #catsofsteemit and as I suggested before, use check out @actifit. Go read @whatsapp, she has a lot of great advice, join #steemschool with @dobartim. Check out the #smartphonephoyography scene. There are so many popular tags to use if you click the explore option.

Everyone starts as a red fish aka plankton. It takes a LOT of work to reach Minnow. I've been at it for a year. It took loads of work, regular posting. I'm a Minnow and only 1/4th of the way to Dolphinhood.

Negative posts are far less likely to get attention.

This. You've been here a little over a week, and since your rep is only 34, I'm going to guess you haven't spent a lot of time looking at other's blogs. OK, I just checked - you've left NINE comments. This is why you "aren't noticed." You can't just post blogs and expect a sudden massive following to come to you. You have to go out and comment on other people's blogs and make friends and find interests/groups/tags that you like. If you go and leave interesting comments, people are more likely to go see what else your write, and follow your blog.
"Giving up easily" is right. If you're expecting to be earning wealth after nine days and nine comments and that not happening is frustrating you, you will not be happy. Like Hickory, it took me a year - a year and lots of work - to reach minnow. This isn't winning a gambling bet and get-rich-quick. If you expect that, than you're going to be disappointed. You can look at this as making friends with a side benefit of earning a little while doing so, or a job that you have to work at and establish yourself that might pay well someday when you've been at it a while, but not a scam to earn quick piles of cash because you farted in the wind and expect the masses to love you for it.
If you were on Twitter and just started posting without engaging with other people, why would you expect thousands of people to follow you and like your tweets? You're not already-famous, so that wouldn't happen. It's not gonna happen here, either. That's not some vast conspiracy by the bigger fish to ignore you, you're standing in a dark corner silently and wondering why no one is shining a spotlight on you.

@phoenixwren I underdtand thank you... maybe Im just a little bored since there no one who bashing me or complementing my works so that I can improve my self... anyway I appreciate your comment... :') im not that rushing or something to earn etc...
