101: Commentary.
.................................................................................................................................................................................
There are many ways to do so.
this is what I do.
I've found that it works for me..
Your milage may vary..
It depends on the taste of your followers.
.............................................
you need a thumbnail that has something to do with the subject you are posting about
in this post I picked a meme of a quote of Rudyard Kipling.
I find it to be very appropriate
....
IF you were commenting on an article found on the internet
such as an article from the American Thinker
then an image appropriate to the subject matter of the article would work
in this case.
President Trump
THEN.
as I've done above...include a link. In this case it would be. Confronting Leftist Lies
But WAIT..there's MORE
Formatting is a thing.
see what I did there?
I posted the first part of the title of the article as the title of the post.
then formatted the the image to center.
then below it I used the second part of the title to the post as a link....below the image
then I run a line of periods below it
..........................................................................................................................................................
this is what you get
much cleaner and more professional don't you think?
then copy/paste a little bit from the article
the attribution is the link on the first line. That's all that's needed. The asterisk (add the space after it) indicates that " the following is a quote".
THEN if you so desire....add a separator (more dot. dot. dots...or something else) and proceed to comment on the article.
Depending on my mood I'll include a LOT of commentary, very little or no quotes...or
just a quote and that's it.
Determine what your readers want...and do it.
It's of paramount importance that writers or authors put the interest of their audience in mind.
You're saying the fact. @everittdmickey

And that is why you're stuck, with 4000 followers, needing to do 20 posts a day to make any money. Up your game, you'll get more votes.

You're having to post 20 posts a day to do that. yeah, you're a slave to it, if you stop posting 20 times a day, it's all gone. I know, you thought you had the tiger by the tale, but you've missed something.

You might consider posting on busy.org. It feeds into steemit, and has some additional tools, including a much, much better editor.
