You're welcome.
As for the "niceness," some of are actually miserable pricks, and some of us are psychopaths. We just put up a nice facade to lure you in. Later, you'll find out who we really are. ;-)
But seriously ... Below are a few points of advice re posting on Steemit.
- Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
- Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
- Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
Hope this helps for now.
