Hi Dieter, it is a wonderful post you have created here and very helpful to the newbies (and not only)!
I have just upvoted and followed you, looking forward for more of you interesting posts :)
If I may add a couple of points to go with your nicely written post..
Authentic content always is a winner, even if at first you can be dissapointed for not getting enough upvotes.
You need to devote time into the content + appearance of your post. Not only content matters, but it needs to be easily read and understood.
It will be good to add a link in your bio (i.e. Dieter you are mentioning a youtube channel in your post, perhaps some of your readers would like to check it out or even subscribe)
I wish good luck to everybody reading this and much success in steemit and beyond!
