I joined in Steemit a few months back , Hovered over the new ,trending and hot sections and realized something, all the whales have a secret when it comes to blogs
I am not a master myself rep 42 will say it all ! but I do know one thing , all the people who have been trying their best since last six months and havent made it to a dolphin status by now they have a problem and It could be overcome by just one simple means
Yeah stop making dull posts , People dont owe you anything
You have to make them wanting to read for more if not , at least appreciate the outlook of your blog the lengthy texts make your readers loose interests in mere one paragraph ! and not everyone is here to read all that text but they may scroll down and try to grasp whatever they can , how you can have them read the main text (gist of the paragraph) while they are scrolling down in middle, there is a trick to that and you have always had it
Thats right you always had the guide full of tricks you need your blog to look more beautiful intresting
Simple italics or Bold texts even bold text thats above this paragraph separated the main text from the explanatory part or the border kind of line at end of this paragraph .I dont even need to tell you how to do this, its simple three minutes read . read it consume it and spill it all over your blog
Why make it dull ??
Of all the things you have gasped from my whole blog are these fancy red text , if you dont know how to get them ? just google Fancy/cool/funky text generator then you can either take a snap shot of it or download it , I do the former and save it in paint and crop the part I require and paste it directly in the Submit a Story section(yeah that works !)
First Impression is the last impression , well we dont know about the last but we can take care of the first impression , choose the first picture you use wisely cause just like butterflies human to get attracted towards the most sweet glance they get !
Do let me know if it helped you !

There are those who will say "But I've been doing all of that and got nowhere!"
There are a few other factors as well. Try to build up a following to a particular topic something that your readers will come to expect and look forward to. @suesa is a prime example, she creates stories around the subject of science that is presented in book form, this enables her to post in instalments thus making her followers look forward to what is going to happen in the next episode.
Then there are those who produce a photographic montage such as Orange Tuesday, Blue Monday but you don't have to have a set model either. Posting random unassociated stuff can build up your rep just as well as it will keep your readers guessing what you will post next.
There is even the school of thought that simply resteeming good posts will build up your rep as a purveyor of quality material. Just don't resteem garbage, you'll soon lose all your friends. :-)

Just realised, I didn't show you the level of gratitude you deserve.
hahahahaha !! thankyou for the song
but you do want people to come to your post !! cause still there are people who dont know how to use that itallic you use to high lighten the crux !! I just wanted to target that people this will really help them out !! cause i have no clue why people have not read that small guide if it gets a steady follower for you.than its totally worth it !! and i just want people to stop being lazy ......!
I can really recommend these posts by @suesa on how to write a post:
• https://steemit.com/writing/@suesa/how-to-write-a-comment
• https://steemit.com/writing/@suesa/behind-the-scenes
• https://steemit.com/science/@suesa/how-to-write-a-science-post
And I think we need more like this on steem. New users don't know why their posts suck and I think your post will help improve some blogs :) Would love to read more guides on this topic, especially common pitfalls and how to fix them.
I m on it @reggaemuffin, and about the common pitfalls like mass following or blind following , follow for a follow /// accidental spamming ,wrong tag usage...I guess i do have some good insight about it ....I will be soon out with a blog on these topics!!
Please mention me
@reggaemuffinin it so I get a notification the moment it is up and can promote it :)will sure do that !!
so i came out with the post's first part !! I would love it if you can take a look at it !!
You're too clever for your own good. People never read guides silly. :-)
they are foolish for their own reasons !! we can hold the spoon but its them who will have to take a bite from it !!
Good advice; hopefully people take it :-)
Cg
It doesnt hurt to spend three minutes on a guide that is purposefully kept there !! :)
and i loved the way she started with a wonderful picture and ended up with a advice to "choose the picture carefully" .......it couldnt have been perfect !!
hey thanx @chapterclosed ......It did attract you towards the blog didnt it !! I rest my case then
sooner people realize that sooner they can upgrafe their status to dolphin !! It took me threemonths to realize that i need to study that guide !! RESTEEMED
lucky for me I realized it in my 5th post !!
and loved your picture by the way !! and do tell me which fon you used for that red text !!
i dont remember the fonts ...but you can find plenty on the google ....I went with the first one i found !!
I will try these tips :-) thanks
sure , and do tell me if it helps you in any way !!
thank you :-)
Very good post... I like it :)
thanx foxkoit !!
You are welcome :) I like photography... so I use this what in my posts :)
i will go and check out your posts !!
Thank you!! Ah And I have a lot post up ... I but all my photos up :) But I make black and white usually :) And thank you!! if you make time :)
Came for the nice guide and good tips, upvoted for the OP5 photos :) Enjoy the extra rep point!
thankyou @reggae muffin . I guess it was not targeted at people like you. just for the new ones here ,I made my debut by the introduction post it didnt get much appreciation !! but the other one which had everything good pics good content and creative formatting lifted off like anything ! my own tips did work for me ! you should read my second introduction (second one)
Will do :)
Very well put. Content is everything unless its put in a way you cannot be bothered to read. I'm new on here so still finding my way around, so thank you for sharing. Upvoted & Followed :)
thankyou @stevejhuggett i hope you make it !!
I like a challenge! Good luck to you too :)
Quality really does count here. Whatever you post is in the blockchain forever, so make it good as it could come back to haunt you. There are people making money from low quality posts, but they may have access to dodgy bots to vote them up or just some friends who help them out. As @dickturpin says you need to build a following of people who will really look at your posts. Write good comments on posts you like to get people to check you out. Those comments can also earn good rewards. Build your reputation to get noticed. It can take a while, but it's worth it.
I did that stupid mistake of posting some pictures i took in a mall !! now its sitting there with just 1 cent earning and one upvote !! I guess you need money to make money .....and good content to hold your viewers from not flying away.....and apart from those good comments you have to reflect the courtesy they provided...like giving there time to read your blog ....resteeming !! you are right about the reputation part it will get me noticed..but i will take all my friends along with me hence only one post a day maximum rest time on reading what others have written...and i am gonna get there ....soon !!
It took me months to earn much. It's actually easier to earn a few cents now. It does take work to make real money. But have fun too.
lets put on a bet ... @steevc i am gonna fry my ass working hard and i will get to rep 52 by the end of one month !! it will motivate me and plus it will be fun too...and come on you havent mentored a girl with my zeal before have you ?? !!
You'll get there if you stay true to yourself
steem on !!
There is another angle to this, dont forget, people cheat too.
cheat as in ??
