I have been a part of Steemit only recently. I have enjoyed being here but i am starting to realize that some very good posts do not get noticed at all. Posts that deserve at least $10 or $15 are not being noticed by anyone. The biggest incentive this community provided was rewards for Content Creation. Now granted all content does not qualify for rewards but at the same time I am starting to notice some poorly written content getting much more attention and rewards than the good ones.
I am new here and hence maybe do not understand how the whole concept of Rewards work here but surely there must be a better way.
Some will reward their own content to get more attention. Nothing wrong with it, but it looks odd at first sight.
Normally quality content with rare niche is always a good idea to start earning on Steem.
And ofc comments + upvoting + resteeming will give you some Steem Dollars too.
Basically keep reading, explore further the whole Steem community, trends etc etc, and stay active and you definitely will have success here!
Good luck!
