Ok so I am attempting my hardest here to Contribute to this Platform, but no matter what I post, I can not get any Votes. Weird thing is Similar posts go up after mine and get hit hard, but I am left hanging. What the Hell do you have to do to get some love on here. I am not using click bait and am not spamming. All of my Content is Original and Unique, but still Nothing. I am sure I am going to get people saying hang in there it will happen, but it has been almost two months on here and Nothing. See my Recent Posts here:

Original and My own, really good Posts, but little to nothing. I am not understanding and am going to my angry place again. Trying hard not to lose my mind over here, posts have been put up at all hours and others are getting hundreds of Votes during these Hours. How?
Two Months of Work
I have been steady on here now for Two Months and had hoped by now something would give. I am getting tired of writing my Ass off on an Hour to Two long Post for Nothing. I have tried Steemit Chat and it has helped, but it is simply a Platform for little people like me to flood with their posts and they only get Voted on by each other. We can not compete with these bigger accounts getting Hundreds of Votes and always holding the Top spots across New, Hot, Trending and the Active Pages. What can we do, I feel like a Minnow fighting for life, but being held under to drown by a bigger fish.
What can We Do?
You have to comment meaningfully on other people's posts so that you become well known. And introduce your contacts from other platforms to steemit so that they can vote for you. And attend other forums (like bitsharestalk.org and bitcointalk.org) with the same user name you have here so that you get well known. And join some of the many Facebook groups dealing with steemit or cryptocurrencies.
If you are hungry you don't open your mouth and wait for a roast chicken to fly into it, do you?
I never thought of joining other Forums. I think I have become a Drone to posting here. Thanks for the advice
@onceuponatime had to upvote for the chicken comment..love it!!
I stole that phrase from the late, great Georges Gurdjieff.
Try getting more active on the chats, post-promotion and minnows united.
Well it seems your rep is only at a 7. That is prettybad. What did you do?
I was bad in the beginning and apologized, I have stopped reposting my material and am working very hard to rebuild my rep, but am going no where.
Well just look at it this way. The majority of your post get more than mine...
I do not think there is much you can do unfortunately. You just have to be the chosen one, when it is your time. It can be frustrating, but remember what you say can always be seen for quite a while, so just be patient. Good Luck :)
Thank you Always, I am trying my hardest here.

You only have 19 followers. So maybe a few read your work. If you want to get noticed, you need people to read you. Only your followers are likely to do that. You get them by conversing in places like HERE. Respond to each commenters, find something to say. Rather than putting out 10 articles than no one reads, put out 20-40 meaningful comments on others pages everyday. People will follow you of they see you loved their work.
