It can be very frustrating and challenging for a newbie to put in a lot of effort into a post and get little or no attention at the end of the day.
Whereas a dolphin or whale can post intangible things and at the end of the day goes viral with a lot of upvotes.
What i observe is responsible for this is that most u0sers on this platform, right from the minniows prefer to stay around the whales,lick their asses with upvotes even when undeserved, just to get their attention and huge upvotes in return, while the dont even click on post of newbies like them, talk more reading.
And further more up to the Whales, who never care to check out quality post of newbies and upvote if deserved, because they feel the are of no good value to them in rewards value.
I have been in your shoes and still in it, i make some posts that i feel are of benefit to mankind and human race in general, made posts to seek support for the motherless and underpriviledged in the orphanages and society respectively, the maximum attention they have gotten is few views and below 5 dollars reward.
As away forward for the time being, i will encourage you not to relent, continue to dish out quality posts, derive pleasure and satisfaction that you have shared knowledge with someone even if its just one person.
Believe me as time goes on and your reputation increases, you will get more view and rewards for your good work.
Thank you.
I can feel you brother, patience is the key. We need to keep learning, if we put our hearts on what we post then we can be successful.
You are right my brother, may we be successful at the end of the day.
Confirmed!
I understand the frustration you describe and I like @gunter01's comment.
As Steemit grows I think it will be more and more important to pick your niche when you get started. That way you can more easily promote yourself by posting and commenting within your niche.
And don't think there are whales not looking for great content from new Steemians. As a whale grows, the curation reward gets more and more important, so they will also have an economic interest in finding and promoting great content. One of the most well-known curation groups is @curie. To get an idea of the kind of content and quality they promote, check out the comments for that account.
I wish you all the best of luck!
Thank you @danielsaori, i have learnt new things from what you just chipped in, i feel so elated. I look forward to growing well on this platform.
