Honestly I feel that so many people come to steemit and think that acting like a crypto expert is going to somehow gain them all sorts of votes. In reality the platform has been pretty clear in their lack of interest in regurgitated crypto news. Those of us that are interested already get the news long before someone posts it here on Steemit and those that aren't interested just don't care.
The posts that tend to do the best by people who haven't already built a large audience are personal posts. If people would focus more on telling their story vs trying to act like a news broadcaster they would do so much better. Steem is about personal connections and people don't make a connection with someone without getting to know them.
As for our efforts, art posts tend to also do well. We have a number of curators that are into the arts (drawing, painting, music, and so forth) along with the personal type stories.
I really remarked this. Lately there's a lot of 'news bringers' on this platform, people that copy & paste, people that steal and import videos, but also people that write their own material, based on what they hear/read.

This relates so much to me bcs. I'm also in this particular situation: I'm pretty active on Steemit for more than one year now and I barely manage to drag myself through the dirt and through the other one million similar posts. The honorable thing however, is that I write my own posts and publish my own ideas, based on what I learned in time. But this is it. I'm aware that there's almost no public in my concert hall but I still do it out love and passion. Through this continuous activity, I get to learn new things very often and to interact with people and see their own opinions. Just like I'm doing right now with you :).
If you are posting crypto related posts because you enjoy doing them that is great. Each person needs to do what they enjoy or even making posts with nice rewards becomes a chore.
Doing things like the PIFC contest is really smart. As you stated "I'm aware that there's almost no public in my concert hall" and this is important. You need an audience to get that engagement about the things you write. The engagement then spurs other post ideas and added rewards...lets face it having rewards helps keep everyone motivated.
Anything you can do to increase your interaction with others on Steem will help you long term. Hope we see you making entries for the coming weeks. More others see you making entries the more likely you are to get added support on your posts.
Thank you! I'll try to find good content for the coming PIF contests. As for the crypto topics, I'm sure the popularity will increase once the market starts growing again. It's just another "Great Depression" these days...
