Do you feel like your content is being left out of the voting bonanza of #NewSteem?
TL;DR : It's a voting bonanza out there.
But perhaps you are not part of the party, yet. Maybe your amazing posts are not getting noticed. You keep making amazing posts and time after time they get just a few cents in rewards.
Well, I am inviting you to the party right now.
But first, you have to ask yourself if there is any underlying reason for your posts to not get the attention you believe they posts should?
I know for a fact that there's a lot of whales who are not voting on Steemians who left during the low season, and they are focusing in curating those Steemians who kept posting on a regular basis over the past months. The curation bots (formerly know as bid bots) are spreading their millions of Steem power among a lot of people, but mostly established authors or posts that get curated by curation guilds. There's only so much that curation guilds can do and their reach is kind of short. It's known that almost nobody votes on posts from steemians who used to be abusers of some type - although some users manage to get rid of the bad rep.
But maybe, just maybe, your posts aren't gettin the attention you want because they lack that little sometihng that curation groups look for, or perhaps your content needs a small tweak here and there for people to vote on it.
So here I am, with my short experience curating offering you this:
If you feel like you are making High Quality content and still not getting rewarded, leave a short text on the comment section describing what you post about. I'll go to your profile and give you some suggestions to make your posts top notch. After that, if your content is indeed underrewarded I'll write your name down for when @ocdb starts whitelisting again, which will be very soon.
Being on the @ocdb whitelist means we will start following you thus enhancing your chances of getting manually curated by us.
If you know of some people who are making amazing content and are not getting noticed, feel free to drop their name and a small description of their content and i'll check it out.
Please, do not drop names that are getting support on their posts. Support means that some of their posts cross the $3 mark. I'm looking for those authors who are making incredible posts and are getting less than $1 on them on a regular basis
@passerine is a newly onboarded Steemian posting regularly about nature, conservation and animal rights advocacy.
@burnettphoto is a friend in Minneapolis, also a really talented photographer. He doesn’t have a laptop but I set him up on @appics as he’s about to leave for a 3 month journey around the US. He’ll be documenting the entire trip.
Thanks so much man! We'll definitely keep an eye on them, thanks for the vote and for dropping by!
nice idea but I think it's not that easy to be white listed. I curated once in your team and it's a long time ago but still now, I haven't anymore. Maybe the post is not good enough..
but anyway good luck curating quality content.

I was actually browsing the M letter on our list and I dropped by your blog posts, we started following you a couple of hours ago :)
yeah I noticed it, thanks and by the way do you still remember about those #newsteemtale? I made a post like that but I forgot to mention you or talk to you in discord. But it's fine, just saying now because it's almost a month that I made #newsteemtale post. 😁

Well what can I say, it's an amazing gesture From you guys the thing is @ocd just started following me today and I guess it's thrilling. I receive support a few times and I'm generally grateful. Thanks for the update. Making sure to keep up quality
Yeah mate, we browsed all the accounts that begin with a J and you were one of them :)
Can you head to my profile and see if I need to start posting more topless photos.
Ive heard that helps with upvotes for some, but I have not tried it yet.
Dude you shouldn't even doubt about it, it's definitely a YES, you have to post more topless pics in order to get to trending :P
Cuz of my pain I got other things which are a bit more important than steem atm..
But I'm still active, as it's possible for me.
A bit more curation would still be cool :)
Even if I get more and bigger votes than usual, they are often being neutralized by people like bernie or ssin who dont like me..^^
I just post about everything I'm thinking about and feel ready to write about.. :)
but also in german from time to time
At the moment we are just following accounts that post in english or bilingual posts, so you definitely qualify. I'll make sure to keep your account name close for when we finish browsing the current whitelist and following the amazing authors in them.

Please try to support following Author and post, he is not getting much love onchain, I mean look at this post, so many comments, lots of engagement, you must truly consider this.
https://steemit.com/premierleague/@acidyo/steem-fantasy-premier-league-gameweek-7-preview
We should only be so thankful our overlords of trending permit us to even read it.
I'm thinking of encrypting it so only those paying get to read it but it would still take a spot on trending! :)
Use it as a front for sports betting. Pay $50 to get in and place your bets on the games.
We did that the 1st year, post rewards were shared amongst the closest bets instead but no buyin cost but decided not to the 2nd year as we tried doing 3 different leagues at once and it would have been way too many comments and "engagement" instead. With the bearmarket most authors dropped out early on though so we went with just 1 this year but people still like to complain I guess cause they don't know the history or the point of them.
Nothing against the flags but you do realize the one thing you go on complaining about all week is a 2x per week post where I keep 20% of the rewards after having run it for 3 years. Where were you 2 years ago? Too busy raking in daily rewards from appreciator while doing nothing? Where are your downvotes against the circlejerkers you said you'd help with, or was that just so I would lay off your unsustainable "business"? :3
It's funny how you wrote me a wall on my post, then didn't respond but keep bickering about this one thing and how it's lacking engagement. It's really sad mate, I'm sorry your business collapsed but don't hate too much on the person trying to make the most out of the EIP when it's affecting everyone the same, or you know, go ahead and continue, it's making you look really good. :D
Your everything starts with bots and ends with bots, move on guys, its EIP now. In reality, its the other way round, I have hurt your business's ROI which you so called curation but that's not why I am here.
I did not even mentioned about flags/dv or anything at all just mentioned 'Steem Fantasy Premier League' and you got pissed again. I am NOT a top witness, so I don't have to answer you for any of your questions but still just for this one time again. You on the other hand have to answer to community for getting all the witness votes again to the community publicly.
Just put everything aside and let me ask it again because I did asked it on your post because you due it to your community.
Please be sensible for once and tell me who runs a circle for whole 3 years to complete anything on this blockchain?
You publicly proclaimed claimed that reward pool is finite and we should use it more effectively, yet you are boosting a post by Wise authority in this bear market with below par engagement and say for yourself that is it right to do so. Why?
Major beneficiary for those posts is @fantasyleague? right. Its a dead account, which was supposed to be hosting and delivering rewards to real participants but you are simply accumulating SP on that account. I wonder why?
Even the Author of that post agrees that engagement is less, I am not sure why are you denying it.
Last reward distribution was 3 months ago going back to 5 months only but all those accounts seem dead to me and maybe they belong to one person only. Anyone can check out wallet history of @fantasyleague and its transfers and anyone can verify that following accounts are not that much active
@tusroni,@carita-feliz,@amosbastian,@davor27,@larsson9,@jsock,@tszunami and the list goes on...
There is no history of this going on 3 years, maybe you were not doing it publicly or perhaps its all just fantasy as the name claims to be, even the rewards.
Hahaha holy fuck mate you are dumber than I previously anticipated, just a bot owner who got lucky and thinks he knows the platform eh? For your accusations of sockpuppetry and scamming the contest, please do me a favor and fuck your own face.
Hahaha this is hilarious, I'm not denying engagement isn't there, but I'm also saying I'm only getting a fraction of the rewards and blocktrades agreed to sponsor it so if you do find any sockpuppets of others then please let me know cause I'll disqualify them from the rewards which btw to answer your other retarded accusation are distributed at the end of the season so instead of just leaving the steem liquid I'm doing some autocuration on it, do you have a problem with that too, maybe? If you wanna continue going on spreading shit and accusations against me then you better be prepared for the consequences, I'm not a top 20 witness by playing politics or watching out what I say to dickheads like you mate, I get there by putting in the work and actually doing a difference on this blockchain.
Aww man can't believe I wasted so much time on your dumbass. Was this the best you had to come with? Damn, I was really hoping you'd have at least had one valid reason to your complaining all over the chain, guess it was just cause of the downvotes on your sold votes cause you couldn't just continue on his rainbowcolored road to easy profits by selling votes eh? Awws poor baby. Blaming it on OCD's ROI didn't work, complaining about my fantasy league posts didn't work, I wonder what you'll do when you realize everyone frontrunning eachother is just a race to the bottom and you'll have to actually put in some time to curate. Woah, what's that? The EIP may actually be working? Dayum.
Please question my integrity again, I'll appreciate the laugh.
Here's a random accusation I'm shooting out of my ass the same way you did. You're selling votes privately for a fraction of the costs and feeding appreciator extra steem cause you're afraid freedom will undelegate you if you're sending him as little as the others back. :3
I wonder which one has more substance to it.
I see this is again going in circles which was expected from you
Oh I am very afraid now, LOL
Anyways, I rest my case and going to let others decide
I think you shouldn't even open cases if that's what the content of them is.
Sorry to hijack your post @anomadsoul but need to vote this up so others can see what this bid bot owner is saying, rofl.
Be my guest, this attempt of peroartion from one of the bid bot owners who are just mad that the New Steem doesn't go along with their business idea has been more than entertaining.
Full support for this initiative. Greetings!
Thanks amigo!
You've uplifted me before and my account has grown. I post every day but feedback has been not so great. One or two posts do well and others don't. I've been out of internet range for a bit but have tried to upvote and comment as much as I could. Still catching up. I missed the whole HF2 THING as I was in India so have no idea what's going on currently. I post my daily happenings but I try to to meaty posts in between. Haven't had much interest so perhaps my posts are dull? 🤔

What a great gesture!
I cannot day I feel I am being overlooked so much as I don’t understand the randomness of it all. I will assemble a post that takes me an hour of photo editing and copy editing and linking and storytelling and reach less than a dollar which is fine. Then, I throw up a simple deep thoughts discussion maker and get over 10$ because of some random upvote bot manual curation.
I try and create a wide variety of content from sports to blogging to steem initiatives and gardening and beer and music and adventure. I manually curate everything, participate in tribes and communities, and take networking seriously.
I am invested and positive and just don’t seem to grasp the randomness of it all. Just arriving for a huge organic (non-purchased) stake so my actions and support speak louder here.
Thanks for your consideration and well met!

Thanks so much, even though you think you are not being overlooked that much, we'll still check out your profile :)
Yo sólo posteo cosas que escribo, mayormente literatura y poesía, en algunos casos opinión sobre cultura y sociedad. Muy pocas veces he publicado dibujos y las historias detrás de ellos.
Super! Por el momento solo estamos siguiendo cuentas que publican en inglés o bilingue pero, también estamos curando articulos en español con @ocd, así que no pierdas el ímpetu!
Hi, I kinda fit in the description of the kind of author you're out for, though my last post was 4 days ago, its a long break overdo, I will appreciate if you can keep an eye on my posts. I write about tech a lot, sometimes poetry somet8mes life.
Heres my latest

Thanks
I support this request of @mistakili
Thanks smasssh
You're welcome. And deserve it to my opinion.
Following :)
Thanks...followed back..
Sounds interesting! Will deinitely have you in mind for when we start whitelisting new people :) Thanks for nominating yourself.
I find it really interesting that this post exists.
For example, consider this post a market indicator.
The post is aimed at the "almost dis-enfranchised from posting" demographic with a message is that hope is out there.
Then you can read this post like it's talking about an actual ocean, because the insider steemian dialect is going to be foreign to plankton level content creators. I listen in the Tavern that is my steem-feed and I hear that the bidbots are "out there" and "doing things" and can tell that "staked" people have to manage public opinion about their voting practices...
I've started trying some flash fiction here, amongst what I'd spew on any social network. I like the notion of witnesses maintaining my work in perpetuity. The hardest part of curation for people in my target demographic is figuring out how the work should be #hashtag 'd most efficient/effectively.
I see tribes having to defend the integrity of their tags at some point, possibly playing out in downvote mechanics I don't grok at all.
//u//)/ buenas tardes Sir Anomad! 🍵
Esta semana entre leyendo y preguntando a algunos gentiles Steemians, me explicaron esto que mencionas, que varios Bot están ahora curando manualmente, y eso me asombro y alegró por igual:
Durante algún tiempo y posiblemente por desinformación, me daba mucho miedo recibir el voto de un bot, y que mis amigos o compañeros pensaran que yo estaba pagando por votos x___x cosa que nunca haría 💸
Personalmente estoy muy contenta con el NewSteem, veo muchos cambios positivos y me mantengo optimista pensando que solo a través del cambio, lograremos mejorar, y aprender qué funciona y qué no, pero si no nos arriesgamos, nunca sabremos "¿qué podríamos llegar a ser?".
Incluso mis últimas publicaciones han recibido mucho amor, más feedback que antes, (¡y estoy super llena de gratitud!), y no he hecho cambios significativos ni en los temas que manejo, ni en la maquetación...
... de pronto si me gustaría saber en qué puedo mejorar, qué cosas debería dejar de hacer, o en qué debería invertir tiempo en pulir (para hacer las cosas mejor y aportar más a la plataforma, aunque lo que yo haga no sea nada trascendental) 💦
Amé leerte, tu nota es super acertada y útil para estos momentos en Steemit 💕
"After that, if your content is indeed underrewarded I'll write your name down for when @ocdb starts whitelisting again, which will be very soon."
At least I got the answer to why ocdb suddenly started following me recently, that's awesome news!
I gotta say that even new steemians who makes some great content seem to get a lot of attention! I honestly believe if a person uses the right tags for the given topic. he/she is bound to get some recognition eventually, and maybe even faster than one might think.
Steem had never been more fair than what we are seeing now.
Yup, we are following all the authors that got voted by OCD at some point in the past. But at the same time we are rechecking the content behind the authors (you know how content creation can take a twist on steem and a great author a year ago became an abuser today).
Little by little we are checking the more than 3k accounts that we want to whitelist :)
Running out of stuff to curate and downvote?
High Quality Content.
The term by itself is stupid. And the concept too.
@whatsup calls for one shitpost a week.
Time for another HF?
hahaha.
They want to save time in order dedicate on content discovery LOL

It's funny how, even when you're trying to be positive and spread the good vibes, there will always be this people with a loser mentality finding flaws in everything you do.
Come on man? You don’t have sense of humor? LOSER lo serás tú, amigo mío!
😂😂😂
Después de tu post, se ve perfecto que no es broma ni poquito, compadre!
Y ojo que no te llame loser, sino la mentalidad, muy diferente ;)
Aclarado, aunque sigo pensando que te equivocas con este post...este no es el camino
Posted using Partiko iOS
Actually the other way around. I've been going for the past three days over at least 800 blog profiles on steem. Most of the ones creating high quality content are getting rewarded accordingly, and those who aren't, I'm taking care they are getting it through ocdb.
This made me think that despite all the efforts, I might be missing some (or a lot) of them. I have 12k followers, no matter how many of them are still active, it would be dumb to not reach out to them and try and get feedback. You know, engaging with your followers, not just creating content and circle jerking like others do.
Well, perhaps for you it's a stupid term, for me it's a very graspable and logical term in a social media platform where the posting behaviour from some authors is very obvious.
On the downvote part, nope, there's still a shiton of content that deserves downvotes, perhaps before joking about another hardfork you want to join in the downvoting instead of just complaining about it.
Thanks for dropping by, I always appreciate feedback, no matter if it's positive, negative or sarcastic.
You know, engaging with your followers, not just creating content and circle jerking like others do.
(below just a copy of two sentences I wrote as a comment on a post of @mindtrap earlier this evening)
It's a bit of a shame actually to see other posts with (mostly) automated and high upvotes but hardly any comments/engagement.
And what's even more disappointing are those who HAVE (some) comments on their posts, but hardly or don't reply at all.
Yep, it's weird on my side, either I get like 50 or more comments on my posts or I get none :D
I try to reply to all of them but sometimes it's not humanely possible. That being said, imagine back at the ATH I was getting around 300 comments on some of my posts :O
Still, I tried to reply to all of them but I ended up having to set myself to a limit otherwise i would spend a couple of hours a day just replying to comments.
I understand that with loads of comments you're more selective to who you reply.
But I think especially right now, when there are already less comments on posts, replying (to keep commenters motivated) is almost crucial. Also because the upvotes on comments are worth less (which btw could also be a reason for this less commenting).
P.s. I guess by now it'll be clear that my words are by no means a complaint, but more constructive criticism.
I already tried to get whitelisted but was not successful. But perhaps you will have some advice how I could improve.
I tried a few different things. Pyrography, writing, decoupage...I consider these as my best pyrography pieces:

Big cheers to the Ocdb curation team. You guys are really doing a great job. Thanks for the following.
I took a break starting in July of 2018 - not enough time and former handle had pretty much run its course. I'm back now, starting from scratch, with a more generalistic approach, broader horizon, less didactic and more community engaged. Would appreciate it if you keep me on your feed. Many thanks, and best wishes.
My @chrisrice.blog account is where I post my final drafts of content I tested on @chrisrice.
I am a strong extrovert and I think as I type so it's helpful to separate my final drafts (@chrisrice.blog) from my rough drafts (@chrisrice).
@emafe is my wife's Dtube channel where she films and uploads our life in video form..
And @steem-ph is our #SteemPhilippines group with our weekly meetups 👍
Thank you ☺️
That's a great picture! Seems like you are having a great time there. I'll make sure to check out the accounts.
Thank you 😀
@sidekickmatt - senpai has noticed them a few times, but mostly earning barely above $1 per post. comicker :>
@spiritabsolute - great guy, always learning and always sharing his efforts earnestly. does 3D and 2D arts, and also developing their own game
@sheilamenher - amazing craftsperson, also a very lovely person, and a great mom :>
@romanskv - a faithful content generator for steemit. his artworks might not be 'high brow' but he infused his creations with so much personality
@ryivhnn - one of the most approachable steemians, absolute perfectionist when it comes to their artworks, and an incredible mum who shares their homeschooling miscellanies in glorious posts with Steemit :D
@jtrx99 - has a few well paying posts, but generally earning very low. he draws and writes his own comic and the lore is expansive!
@wales - poet and writer, to traverse his posts you must be ready to relinquish groundedness but boy, he does take his audience on wonderful trips :>
A spider has more, but that's for starters! :D Thanks for hosting this great thread, Noma!!!!
Coming from my favorite aracnid in the whole world oh my, I bet these Steemians are worth checking out! I'm pretty sure I recognize a few names there and I think we already started following them. Thanks for droppin by Spida!
I posted pretty consistently through the low season - until I had a little bit of a meltdown about a couple of months ago. But I think it was more of a case that I just needed to step away from the computer rather than the price, or perhaps a combination of various stresses.
I am more than a little excited now though. Everything seems to be turning around big-time for the platform now. Just the fact that bots are starting to manually curate is amazing! I am starting to feel like the efforts many of us have put in to keep this thing going are really going to start paying off soon.

Thanks for this great opportunity. I'm Matthew by name and I'm a vlogger I use @dtube so much because when I first came into the platform. I was so shy to face camera but I some colleague introduced me to Dtube Platform and I became myself and I trained myself more with confidence and maturity. I do blog about Farming, homesteading , animals, FoodPorn and sometimes Travelfeed. I chose to go with the homesteading because I discovered that so many people avoid farming post or articles and just only few of us receive upvote due to maybe of high reputation. I can see some steemians with very high Reputation been followed by with great juicy upvote. That's why I want to break the chain off, to build more on farming and homesteading articles. Some of my Post will go uncurated but I do not lose any hope rather I go both on Twitter to forecast for Steemit community and bring more people into the community. But I have problem when it comes to Onboarding people, they check my profile and say , even you. You collect few cent on your post so I don't have any say when it comes to that Curating aspect.
I wonder why so many people avoid farming articles, so sad. But I do not look back still. I forge ahead and win together.
Thanks for checking on us and giving us all hope we deserve.

that's great that you're doing that! Encourages people to write great posts and also uplift others who do and don't get rewarded. Thumbs up to the OCD team!
I'll suggest you have a look at @thekittygirl and @bluefinstudios ... regular posters who not only put a lot of effort into their posts but also help out a lot on the platform.
Hey there!
Not all my posts are gold, but I post a weekly Punday Monday contest that has been very popular with minnows. I'd love to see it get more attention, and, of course, more upvote love. I haven't missed a week in over 120 weeks.

I've been ocdbd just recently but no idea if I'm whitelisted. As for my content's quality, sometimes it's "high" sometimes it's "low." Sometimes their payouts match, others they mismatch.
Me me Sir, looks at my posts pleases JK
Just wanted to say this is a really nice idea hope it will help a lot people.
Stay silly! :)
I’ve been posting here consistently for the last three years, sometimes high-quality and sometimes lesser quality. But i’ve always wondered how to get whitelisted for OCDB. anyway, you guys are doing good job. Keep up the good work.
Hi @anomadsoul you said '' It's known that almost nobody votes on posts from steemians who used to be abusers of some type '' Do you really believe that?
I look at @themarkymark who has been a serial abuser on so many levels, yet suffers no reduction in support. Maybe i need to start an awareness campaign about his many abuses and misdeeds.
But I have noticed that the other serial abuser has lost a lot votes and community support which seems like a good thing to me.
Following up on your requested input here @anomadsoul, I would encourage you to look through the posts of @leveuf. While he has historically written in Spanish, he is starting to make an effort to write some in English as well.
Overall, I think he is creating very good content and is a credit to all of those working hard to add value to our Steem blockchain. From my experience, he will welcome any input you may wish to provide on making improvements for the future.
And, if you don't mind a question, while you likely don't know my account, I am familiar with yours. As one of our more experienced Steemians, I would appreciate your perspective and opinion about those of us who simply don't have the time to post on a daily basis. Would you encourage us to continue to post anyway?
Or would you say the #newsteem focus on curation is primarily going to be on those who do post more or less daily and the rest can just "save their strength" for something else?
Thank you very much @Roleerob! Your words and advises are really encouraging to make my presence "in here" more valuable. Your friendship and consideration for my work, being as wise as you are, have been some of the greatest things that I've found in this platform. I'm grateful and honored!!
I know @Anomadsoul for his great presence in many projects for the spanish speaking community and for his own initiatives seeking the growth, value and good practices in this platform. I know this new initiative will bring great results too for many creators in the Steem blockchain.
I send you my best regards, @Roleerob, and wish you an excellent day and full of Light!!
Certainly my pleasure @leveuf. For me, it is a "win-win" opportunity, as any of our fellow Steemians who you and I (or anyone else, for that matter) can successfully encourage to grow in their ability to add value to our Steem blockchain will benefit us, as well themselves. Even if only indirectly, since overall we are doing our part to nurture the steady building of an ecosystem of encouragement and support.
I am signing this same statement of yours, @Roleerob!! You've defined this platform in the best way I've heard!!
Thanks for share your knowledge and great heart!! :)
Thanks so much, already going through their blog posts! Amazing author!
Certainly my pleasure @ocdb. I have featured him in my most recent monthly update and otherwise done what I can to provide encouragement and support. You are, of course, able to do that far beyond most any of the rest of us.
Thank you for investing your time to write this response!

I occasionally hit a nice juicy upvote from OCD yes, but not all the time.
My posts ranged too widely, from life to my own niché #triedntested or #triedntasted (one is more on utilities to cooking and another checking out some other food)
But due to family responsibilities I didn't really write as much as I first joined Steemit and I just tried writing a little more now with Actifit and Steemfest topics, other than that, writing has unfortunately becoming a little less dominating in my daily life.
And another thing is i try not to write shit post if I don't have enough time to write something really good... Hence becoming a little "less regular" poster
Posted using Partiko Android
Thank you for the opportunity, @anomadsoul. I have three blogs here, and would love to have your input and criticism:
@fitinfun
@fitinfunfood
@bxlphabet
@fitinfun and @bxlphabet are over two years old. I started @fitinfunfood on Jan 1 2019 when I realized "food" was too big of a topic to keep on @fitinfun. I post 1-3 posts on each blog each day and comment/reply well over 250 times between the three blogs each week.
I actually have seen some direct benefit from NewSTEEM. Some of my posts get randomly upvoted by big fish who never voted for me before. I have a lot of SBI and people who autovote me; as well as those who drop by from time to time.
At least 60% of my posts are for contests. These are quite empty now, so I am winning like crazy. I also answer bounty posts, and again, they are lacking in other respondents now, so I get greater rewards from those than I used to.
I also get trufflepigged quite often, but am rarely curated elsewhere.
Also, many of my autovoters are voting with very high vp now; sometimes at 95%+. This is because other people they vote for are no longer posting these days.
As you know, I power down and live off this money. So there is a certain part of STEEM who will never vote my posts for that reason. However, I am at this 14-18 hours a day when healthy and not traveling, so if I want to survive, this is how it goes.
Even so, I have grown my sp from about 250 on two blogs in July 2018 to over 1800 sp on the three today. I try each week to keep my SP growing by adjusting the power downs as needed. I'm also leasing delegated sp for all three blogs and have some delegations people are just lending me.
I would love to have more support from anywhere, and look forward to your advice. Thank you again for the offer.
Could you take a look at a couple of my post?
Six Tips for Beginner Writers on Steemit and Elsewhere and A Step-by-Step Guide for Teaching a Unit on Informative Writing.
Please feel free to have OCBD downvote them I used bid bots on them to try to get them more exposure. It was what I used to do before I had to power down to do expense from have my kiddo.
Not been posting great content always but I don't think I'm that bad not to get some love
TLDR
This is the best ways, I love this way, I was not a, blogger and my content was something not so good, then I tried making it better. For me, I thoughts it was already better but nobody upvoted me with high value. No body noticed it and feeling badly to surrender but I love steemit, I keep on going everyday. After the HF21 I noticed many people upvoting me whom I never knew before. Now I keep on making my post look interesting and someday whale will passing and drop into my post. Thank you @anomadsoul for keeping steemit a better place po for us.

Yep, you will get hit with a Whale on a post you would least expect a Whale to be interested in! Seems there is a whale out there for everyone!
Network network network. A whale might not be in YOUR network, but one might be following someone in your network.. all it takes is for that person in your network to give you a resteem one day and boom, that is one way to be noticed by larger influencers/whales.
Thank you and agree with you. Steem on.

Most of the Steemians I have in mind are (only) writing in German, and as far as I know @ocdb is not curating that. Thus I mention two which I think are underrated for sure:
@kobold-djawa (own paintings, music videos, gardening, parenting)
@tangmo (traveling, nature)
Both never reach 10 dollar payouts, and without my upvotes it would be even less.
Hello my friend @anomadsoul
Regularly I publish content about meditation, sometimes about psychology and others about Bitcoin. Basically sometimes to prepare my content, it takes me maybe 4 or 5 hours or maybe more or less..
I’m not sure if my content is interesting for the community, and not sure if I’m in the whitelist.
I would like to ask you if you can take the time to review my profile..? I would like to be considered in my next publications..!!
Thanks a lot and have a great time..!!

I guess I'm blacklisted in ocd or something. No matter how hard I ried with #posh just a few times was noticed by you. The problem no in rewards, but in the attention that I need. Maybe I'm earning enough. But you were asking to use the tag and to share posts in twitter and I was doing that for months. So, why I should keep if I'm not whitelisted.
Hi Eric @anomadsoul
I post about peace, love and freedom, about helping change the world for the better using an upcoming Steembuilt system, and about #naturalmedicine.
I invite you to check me out.
Namaste
