RE: Hello I'm Caroline! I'm 26 and a psychologist from Amsterdam. @thisisbenbrick invited me to say hello!

Since I'm new to Steemit, I'm wondering why this post garnered over $900? Seriously, I'm not putting it down. I'm inquiring. What's here? A few words, a few pictures, mention of a few cities and referral of a songwriter. Perhaps, Steemit users really connect with psychological problems? I look forward to useful analysis of what makes a post successful. Thanks and best to author

Hey @Petertahoe it can be frustrating. The bigger the user the more their vote is worth. This post was voted by several large users (whales) which gives it a bigger payout.

I read your introducing post - to gain more attention I'd suggest adding images to your post (posting the link to the image), linking with hyperlinks (e.g to your website, and to your social media). You could have also added the Peter Gabriel track with the YouTube embed. Lastly if you really wanted to go to town you could have actually recorded a voiceover and embedded it on YouTube in the post.

Good luck!

I am trying to figure it out. I still don't really get it to be honest... I put up a new post last night and it hardly seems to have any readers, even though it has more content I think. Maybe it's like thisisbenbrick said below that I should have put more images and links and such.
