I think even good posts get overlooked. There are hundreds of posts put up everyday, which means that your post quickly goes down the list of new posts as others come in. Unless people go far down the list of new posts to where your post is "buried", chances are they'll never even see it. You have to be lucky enough to be seen and resteemed by a popular steemian with many followers.
that is very true @diiva1981, it seems you just have to be at the right time for your post to be seen. But apart from that, what do you think makes a good post?
I think a post should be well written in terms of grammar and spelling, otherwise people might not know what you mean or worse get annoyed and stop reading. Little mistakes are ok. For me personally, a post shouldn't be too long, unless the subject is absolutely riveting. A little humor also goes a long way. You should have a catchy title and a good first sentence, since these will be seen by steemians looking for a post to read. It will be the first thing to grab their attention.
