How great is Steemit??!!
As a long-time writer, I love getting instant recognition for my work. I have successfully tweeted and run websites under other names. But those other formats do not provide such instant feedback. The feedback pushes me to be better. And I like that.
I believe in Steemit and what is stands for.
But I also do not fully understand it.
I have toiled for months, posting more than 500 articles (and comments). My reputation score is only 38. I write many articles that receive no upvotes at all. I have tried pretty much everything. I have engaged other users. And I have tried several writing approaches (serious writing; highly-technical; funny; light; etc.)
Nothing seems to get attention.
Meanwhile, a brand-new user posted his first article only 2 days ago. His got 2,000 upvotes and his reputation score is already in the high 50s.
I don't understand. I focus on tech, science, business, and crypto. Those are probably the most popular topics on Steemit. And again, I have been very successful in other formats (Twitter and websites).
I love writing. And I have a lot of things I want to continue talking about.
Am I building something big on Steemit? Or have I reached a dead-end? I am sure others have experienced similar issues. I'd love to hear the success stories.
