I'll let you in on A little secret
Have you ever worked hours on a quality post, I mean really put a ton of effort into editing, finding sources, and sculpting your ideas onto a digital canvas just to get little to no rewards?
My guess is that if not all, almost every Steemian has experienced this and it could be due to many factors like a low reputation score, base of followers, or a very bland title.
With the continued development of communities and initiatives being formed on Steemit everyday, simply having a low reputation or a few followers won't necessarily hold you back from receiving high payouts! The one thing that veteran Steemians do differently compared to the majority of users is recognizing the importance and mastering the optimal times to post their content.
Even after nine months of growing my blog, I still make the mistake of posting at peak hours, which is normally after 5:00 ET. As a veteran, I understand the importance of setting aside some time each weak to plan and at least start a few of the projects I want to post. Normally this is a great habit because I'm able to go back and edit if need be, as well as post my sketches or videos when the Whales are out and about.
I said "normally", because when I have a few good posts ready for the weak, I can't fight the urge to just put it out in the community because I'm excited to see what my friends and supporter think of my work!
Yesterday I made that mistake and posted what I thought was a really funny video on Dtube during probably the busiest time of the day. You can probably guess how it did, but I was lucky because a really good friend of mine, got behind the post and promoted the mess out of it. Although it worked out this time, I can't shake the thought of how well it would've done if I posted it around 2:00 or 3:00 p.m ET.
It's not all bad though. On the bright side I gained about 30 followers over night and surpassed the 900 follower mark! I am super grateful for all of my friends and supporters here on Steemit, and I can't thank and
enough for always supporting the kid!
Hopefully a few of you can learn from my mistake and have some patience when deciding the optimal time to post your content, especially if you know it's going to be fire!
