I share my blog posts to Facebook once in a while, and they get shown on my timeline. What I've noticed is that they've been getting less attention.
When I posted a photo collection in January, it got around 30 likes.
Whenever I post a photo collection now, only 1 friend likes it. :P
I used to get a lot of traffic from Facebook to Steemit, but times have changed! :'(
Interesting.. how do you make your voting power go up do you know?
Voting power goes up automatically. It goes down by voting. So... Vote a bit less and your voting power will go up.
To get more influence here you should invest in some Steem Power ;)
Thanks makes sense. What does steem power do, and how do you get it?
Steem power gives you more curation power on the platform.

It's a long-term investment in the platform, and pays back by gaining more influence.
Long-term means: it takes a while to "pay out" your steem power and it happens in phases. You can get it by powering up in https://steemit.com/@pjcswart/transfers
