Ok so I am guessing this is a pick and choose your popularity thing, because I have posted over 20 Blogs and have not had one go any further than $1.12, but I look at the trending slash popular page and see others making thousands for very small no-informative posts. Is there a technique to gaining power or do you just have to get lucky on here?
Getting Discouraged after spending huge amounts of time and not seeing any potential so far.
Explanation Please.
I think you have to have established yourself as a popular person when steemit first came out. People won't want to vote on posts unless they know they're going to make money. Maybe make friends with the popular people so they'll vote on your posts because their votes are the only ones that will increase your payout.

there are only some people, who can really give a POWER to your post. Others have no weight on their voice.

They bought a lot of steempower, generally. Berniesanders has like 5 million dollars worth so his choices on who to vote for are massively important.
Not that you can tell who is important without digging into their wallet to see what their worth is.

Either buy or good posts, but preferably - both

Unfortunately, what is a "Good post" is entirely subjective and depends on what whale is looking where .
I mean, was the post that was just a picture of marijuana with "Hey guys, what you smoking?" Under it really a good post?

There are a ton of posts, and only 100 or so whales. So you can't expect them to read through all of the content put on the site. Your best bet for success is to appeal to everyone, whales will be more likely to check out posts that are rising and hot (because of lots of votes) then posts buried somewhere. Get out there, get posting, get chatting and get people to know who you are.

Today's whales are just early investors.
At least half of them smoke or vape.... so it becomes a good post... but do not forget - that was yesterday.
Tomorrows trend will be something else.
Have fun )

A whale is usually a huge mammal sea creature, but on #steemit, it is somebody with a lot of steempower in their steemit wallet.

The more steempower you have, the more money a post will earn when you upvote it, including your own.

It may seem discouraging, but just keep on writing and it's likely that someone with power will eventually find you. I just wrote a post about this exact issue here: https://steem.ly/B

I agree. Some of the stories are very interesting and deserve the Upvote and attention, but most are very simple one liners and are making tons. Spread it out...
