Promotion wise you have to put at least $150-200 to get a top five ranking of visibility so thats why you didn't get any traction with $1.
Another thing like you said it is very frustrating to produce awesome long form content and then no one reads it. You just have to realize it is all part of the process and building credibility and showing you can provide value to the audience.
I would start networking more with Steemians larger than you, become part of niche communities surrounding things that interest you, and keep consistency producing content and eventually it will catch.
Keep doing great things buddy, looking forward to more content from you :)
Thanks for that, did not realize that you needed to spend so much on promotion for it to pay off.
I am overall not complaining, it is kind of mindblowing what you can achieve, my wife just had a post that went over 600 USD, for talking about an issue which she feels really deeply about:
It will no doubt have its ups and downs, but we are both taking this seriously and are willing to put time and effort into it. Rewards might take a while but the payoff in interaction and the improvement of your ideas already is motivating in itself.
I think networking is indeed the way to go, not just with people with larger profiles, things are going so fast that looking out for your peers who are coming up with you will also have big payoffs. That is why I appreciate @steemitBC, a great group of people who are very constructive!
O wow I did not know about them thank you for letting me know about them And I can definitely tell you arent complaining, I am just passing on some info I've learned by failing on here. Sometimes that is the best way to learn.
I will take a look at her content and definitely looking forward to more content from yourself sir. Keep doing great things :)
Would be great to have you there!
Don't forget to join the slack channel that is where the action is
