This sort of thing doesn't work for someone like me. You've seen a few examples of what I do. For the most part, my blog is a show about nothing, like an episode of Seinfeld.
I do have my own set of tricks though. My views trickle in over time on quite a few of my older posts.
This one has 728 views. 579 views here and 667 on this one. Just a few examples. There are more getting passed around. Without a large following in place, it's incredibly difficult to get that sort of subject matter moving outside of Steemit, yet I'm able to.
That's great. If you'd like to post about your tricks, I'll save an upvote for you. :)
I took a stab at explaining awhile back. Now that I have better results to back me up, maybe I'll try it again.
