This article is very helpful, @alvinauh. I am going to post it in the #resources channel in my Discord Server because I think it will be useful to a lot of the members there. Not only do you give a few suggestions on how to select a good topic for writing quality articles, but you include some details as to how to get more from the topic at hand.
Regardless whether a person uses upvote bots or not, a heavy-hitter is not going to cast an upvote on junk (unless some ulterior motive is at play.) It is worth it to spend the time to write a good article. You are building a reputation, after all.
I've upvoted and resteemed this article as one of my daily post promotions for the @mitneb Curation Trail Project. It will be featured in the @mitneb Curation Trail Project Daily Report for 19 FEB 2018.
Cheers!
