The absolute most important part of my life! She is the main reason i am dabbling in the investment market, so i can put her in a good school one day :)
Thank you for the advice majesty! I want to ask if you dont mind, what styles typically do the best on here? Are people more willing to read a lengthy post? I came from social media platforms like Facebook......where pictures and noises are the only thing that appeal to most fo the users lol. I'm really trying to get a full dig on everything before I go at it full speed. Do you have examples of lucrative posting on here?
I believe she deserves to go to a good school and be as educated as [possible. Thank you for that! I work with her alot, she is a brilliant little girl. My goal is to keep society from "dumbing her down", because she is meant to do amazing things in this world!
Yes, apparently longer posts do better, if only because they will be (may be) appreciated by the whales, and that might lead to more lucrative upvotes. At the same time, if the whales do not find your posts, then all the work you put into a long, interesting post might earn you only a few bucks. It's a tough call.
I've posted some lengthy PhotoDiaries of India, and some of them earned over $70. So, I spent even more time doing research and writing about Indian society and culture, and those posts earned less than $10. (If anyone can tell me why, I'd love to hear it.)
Eventually, I powered up. Now, instead of spending 2-3 days compiling a massive photo diary, I post single photos, tagged to a photo contest by @juliank, and each post makes about $10 now (after the recent jump in the price of Steem.) Nice.
Still, it's probably a better strategy to make longer posts. Compose posts about whatever you love doing, or something you are passionate about, and other Steemians who have similar interests will eventually find them and read them and reward them.
One major point is ... You HAVE TO attract followers and build your community / network. You do that by just scrolling through your feed, finding posts that you're interested in, and upvoting / commenting on them. (Like I was doing when I found your intro.) Some of the people will follow you, and eventually, your rewards will grow.
p.s. This reply is way too bloody long. But I'm sure you'll appreciate it to a certain degree, and even other Steemians might read it and find it interesting. Oh, and since I spent a bit of time composing it, I'm gonna give myself a small upvote for it. All cool and kosher.
p.p.s. Many of my posts get comments such as "great post sir" or "Every post is excellent." It get's rather irritating (remember F_c_Book?!?), but now I just ignore that nonsense.
p.p.p.s. I used to teach English to Japanese and Korean students. They learn well. Sometimes too regimented, but they never let a good mind go to waste. They study hard, they learn plenty, and they go places. And many of them do "amazing" things. Your daughter will too.

Hello, Devon, and welcome to Steemit.
To "put her is a good school" is a noble goal. Even before then, teach her well!
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

Here are a few successful Steemian blogs ... https://steemit.com/@sweetsssj ... became successful with her travel blog here on Steemit.
https://steemit.com/@dollarvigilante ... had a great newsletter before, then just transferred all his subscribers to Steemit.
