What Should You Do If You Have a "Great" Article That's Getting 0 Upvote?

You’ve just written an A+ article. Of course this article is far different from the other articles you've been writing.

You've done the A/B test and you are one hundred percent (100%) sure this time that your article is going to crush it, giving you the upvotes you deserve.

After much anticipation and preparation, you then click on the submit button.

You watch. You wait patiently. 1 Hour, 2 Hours, 3 Hours, 24 Hours.

And still no hope. It gets zero upvote.

What went wrong?

Don't feel bad. You may be doing it right...

Well here’s the thing about content gaining upvotes.

It’s not enough to simply produce the content.

Content isn’t a “write, and they will come upvote” type of deal.

It doesn't work that way...

Believe me on this.

I know from past experience.

And I know from studying Whales.

Yes, that's right!

And even if you are not yet a whale. There are high percent chances, you can have the upvote you truely deserve. I know of a friend who goes by the handle @heart-to-heart from Indonesia, joined steemit 9 days ago and did an awesome article that got everyone talking, you can read it here. You may call her the time bomb 💣 but frantically speaking, she rocks like Steemit.

Why so much note, just bit it already. Lol we are getting there... Be happy

Speaking of whales 🐳 🐳🐳

Probably you've heard so much about them...

Steemit have a hand full of whales. After careful study on how whaleshares are distributed, we've come to a conclusion that even minnows can have the upvote they truely deserve.

Just know that your reputation, followers, and steem Power have little or no influence as to how much upvote may generate per post, all that matters is your commitment.

How committed are you?
How often do you post?
What do you know best?
Do you comment on other people's blog?
Do you curate post you feel is worth curalating?
Do you copy paste other people's work?
Do you often reply to comments?
Why are you on steemit?
Are you active or passive?
And many more

Now let's look at the above questions one at a time...

Are you ready?

It's time you get your suit ready...
