Why no one saw your post

Let me see it. I didn't know it was there. How could I? Have you ever stopped by one of my posts to say hi?

I can relate. I know the feeling. I click over to the trending page and I see these posts with HUGE upvotes and I wonder how they did it.

"holy crap" rings loud in my head as I immediately launch into a daydream about quitting my 9-5 job. I am snapped back to reality as I look at my latest post and see the following:

Really only 4 people saw this post?

Something is definitely wrong here. So I did a little digging and I found out that some people use voting services to get there posts some more exposure... I am a big fan of @sneaky-ninja, @buildawhale, and @booster but there are several others. Some people are cool with this. Some people are not. It a free decentralized world here on steemit, so do what you think is right.

The best way I have found to get more views on my posts was to engage with the community. When I have time I like to read posts by others and leave comments. I find a lot of posts that are in-line with my hobbies and interests.

Steemit really is a community. I am an introvert by nature and in a perfect world I would just write my post and people would magicly find me. Life dosent really work that way and neither does Steemit. There are some great sub-communities here like #steemusa, #thalliance, #minnowsupportproject, #thewritersblock etc etc

So if your a fellow introvert, gather some courage and introduce yourself. Trust me, it will be so worth it. I have met some amazing people here. The only way for people to get to know you and take an interest in your content is to take an interest in other people.

Let me get to know you. Drop me a comment and leave a link to your latest post. I will read it. I will comment on it. I will upvote it if it is original, non-spam, has an image and more than 100 words
