Big zook i love the name.
In 2 weeks on steemit i went from believing posts would get views like utube or fb but its different. There are some tricks and strategies.
Overtime if you want to learn it you will. I am willing to share what I learn as i go. I live your amazon store sharing. Something i want to get into.
My third post on steemit was called up the slide-children teaching parents. Someone with a lot of steempower upvoted it and it was worth 15.00 i thought this is a gold mine! All i have to do is keep posting and i will be able to quit my prison slave job. It hasnt worked that way. Its been more like a penny for your thoughts. I have 3oo some followers and get maybe 5 votes per post unless im wrong. I dont do alot of tracking only look at posts for two days usually to see how they are doing.
Now i have resorted to using whaleshares to try to make my time worth it. Spending an hour on a post and getting 3cents sucks. But many say they used to do it and now they ate making 900 a post somehow...i still dont get it but am researching.
One thing you can do now is write an introduce yourself post. Tags are important so look at Trending tags in settings before posting and use the hottest tags. Write a post telling about yourself, hold a sign up that says steemit on it. Use tags introduceyourself and introducemyself. People want to know you are real and not a scammer alien vampire or viral code. Jokes. I need to do that post too. Videos do not work for this because people see videos as copy n paste jobs from utube. Mine got 9cents and i spent two hours on it. These are all my opinions and i am new. So get second opinions but please be my friend.
I dont claim to own anything.
Heres a post i did on an ico

Ps when people say dont copy and paste they are talking about copying other peoples stuff. Its good to copy and paste your own stuff.
They have a cheetah robot that follows peeople around and watches them so youll know if u use other peoples writing
