First things first. Do you think that increasing followers is the trick? Posting random things everyday to look like a consistent blogger is the trick? You might be wrong.
Steemit, although based on the blockchain and the fundamental principle of rewarding a curator with some portion of the total reward, is a blogging site but it does not let every other user bloat up overnight and swim in SBD. It is in the end a platform which only encourages meaningful content and not just one of those "Oh let me upload 5 posts a day" environments.
Nobody said that if you post every hour, the chances of you making money are the same as if you were posting once a day. It could definitely happen, but make sure the posts are engaging, make sense and in some situations not completely ripped off of some other place on the internet. I tried doing that but it did not get me a penny.
So when do whales read your posts?
The answer is simple. Do not act as another media microwebsite and start copy pasting happenings or events. Whales are looking to read nice experiences and nice interpretations of what is happening around. It can be anything and can be from any era, you just have to make it a good reading experience for someone who already gets more attention for his/her posts than celebrity tweets get.
It does not have to be difficult, it has to be interesting.
STEEM ON!
