Hi @theleapingkoala,
I also responded to you below, but you sound like a great candidate to join the Minnow Support Group and the PAL discord. Great group of over 5000 people who help with everything from post promotion to proofreading, and lots of chat and other programs.
They have a variety of services like the minnow-upvote bots that will help you bump up your posts a little bit, at least enough to get into the Hot category on more obscure topics. A lot of us delegate SP to the MSP bot to help with this process (I put all my new liquid rewards there, beyond what I need to maintain a vote slider).
Hi @lexiconical
I am honored that you think I am a great candidate to join the Minnow support group. Thank you very much for your trust and upvote.
I would love to join and make a good difference in Steemians' experience with steemit (especially minnows of course)
I will definitely look into it to join.
Many thanks again :D
We'd love to see you in the chat, which doesn't even require joining.
Hopefully this link works (You may need to download Discord):
