Soooooo..... traditional blogs have always been about a niche. Post about a topic you're knowledgeable about, something you enjoy and build a community... that's how you successfully blog and/or build a social media presence.

I feel that Steem is different though.. I follow someone because I like them... and so I'm more happy when people vary their content because it shows me the different elements and enthusiasms. It makes people far less one-dimensional. Maybe about a third of stuff in my feed I'm not interested in at that moment, and that's totally fine.

I don't think I've clicked on any of your drumming stuff, because it's not something I know about or am too interested in, but I'm sure there are people that are... and even if literally no one is, it's still a good record for you. I like that you post quick jokes, but also totally super serious stuff, I can't think of many people that provide a range of posts like that.

Unfortunately upvotes are more about relationships and luck, moreso than actual individual post content, so I think probably the best way to grow is to collaborate with as many people as possible and break out of your usual circles to build those relationships.
