You do get a lot more votes than me from the bigger guys, and its something I have had thoughts about. How do you attract them?
Easy:
- Forget about getting huge upvotes.
- Find something useful for others that you can provide and are good at.
- Publish it because you are interested in it.
- Communicate with readers in comments and on other related posts when somebody writes about it.
- Do it every. Single. Day.
- Repeat.
Thanks for the advice, but as someone who has been doing these things for 6 months, does get some attention and has a fanbase, its hardly the stuff I'm looking for :)
I guess your "problem" is the same as the rest of the posters - content. People live in illusions that their posts are useful and somebody is going to "pay" for it. Just because whales post crap and vote for each other, does not mean that they are going to vote for your crap the same way. They are not content creators and the system does not offer other ways to earn money, so they abuse it and post crap.
Think in other categories. Who are the guys with big money? What are they interested in? Do they care about your opinion on some subject? Why they should care about it?
I believe they need some useful information. In this case it is analysis of STEEM ecosystem, markets, users etc. No crap. They have to understand what is going on with their investments and in what stage it is right now.
The same goes with crypto analysts. Nobody cares about nice charts. They do care about hints and tips to earn money.
If you have tried 6 months and have not found a content that is useful, maybe it is time to start to think about changing something?
