Ha! I put so much work into every post. Nearly 100% is steemit original content, although a few pieces have come from my blog. More often, I repost from here to my personal site. I love this place, love writing, love writing here. :)

hint: MOST of the votes on steemit come from bots..they don't even read it.
so...it makes sense to post a LOT...but don't make long posts.
a paragraph earns as much as several pages
Interesting! I didn't realize that. It's also a bit disappointing. I'm grateful for the real people who show up and have conversations in comments. That feeds the writer's ego. ;)
@everittdmickey is right - I was doing 4-6 posts a week that were long and took hours of effort. A few people told me to stop that and post more - shorter posts. Now I switched to 3 per day and make them less than 500 words and fewer photos. Shocking improvement in my results and my attitude.
And!!! By posting more - I attracted a few more little bots. I am shocked. The bots I had are actual people who added me since we are friends. The new ones are just out of the blue.
Steemit is a mystery that keeps on giving!
I'm all about argument...er...I mean conversation.
It's hard to get one started on Steemit...too many bots.
notice the number of 'view' on a typical post ? (this post is not typical)
generally you have one or two views and ten or twenty votes..
I have noticed that! And I post 3 pieces a day like you, @fitinfun, and have noticed much better results, although weird and inconsistent sometimes. I love when I end up with a curation trail, but I love the feeling of being seen and heard and given the opportunity to listen as well.
If you have a 'massive prescense' you might catch the attention of a whale.
Like BlockTrades...when a whale upvotes you it's noticable.
what a rush!
That would be amazing. How does one have a “massive presence?”
post about twenty times a day.
Oh dear! Three a day is hard enough! I'm trying to do it for a month and after one week I am kind of in a groove but it's not easy.
I have had 2 'big' votes - it is indeed a rush.
I just want mooooooooore of them! lol
I had not thought of that and now I'm excited to have it happen. I am thrilled with 30 cents for one vote now.
@sndbox recommends posts have 5+ photos and a minimum of 300-400 words. Of course, that was three months ago.

never heard of sndbox.
can anyone under forty concentrate long enough to read four hundred words?
