I just had a crazy experience that blew me away. I'm a new minnow here on Steemit.com, but I just figured out something awesome and I want to show it with you.
It is very important to promote your content!
In fact, I can't emphasis the important of promoting your content enough.
I just wrote my introduceyourself post last night and promoted it a little bit in steemit.chat in the post promotion channel and got up to $2 in earnings before I went to bed. The next morning it was up to $20, but activity had totally died down. I promoted it again in Steemit.chat in the post promotion channel this afternoon and got the post up to $50.
Again, activity had dropped off to almost nothing until I decided to promote the post again in steemit.chat tonight and it went from $50 to $146 in just a few minutes of me promoting the post. I suspect the activity will drop off a lot for a while until I promote the post again, but I suspect I'm going to be able to drive the post value up even higher if I keep this going.
You can see proof for yourself of how this all worked out using steemstats.com, but I'm going to break it down for you here in this short video...
You should know that promoting a post that isn't going anywhere isn't worth doing, but promoting something that is gaining traction is much more useful than just creating more content.
Very helpful- Thank you!

It worked for me this time. FYI, you can see that 33% thing on here too: https://steemstats.com/#/
The interesting things is that 33% vote came early and didn't confer that much financial value to the post at the time of voting. Other people who voted later and had much lower % ended up contributing far more revenue to my post.

The 33% vote got me up to around $20 for the post, a very small portion of the total revenue.

I have tried several times to get into Steemit.chat and keep running into a wall every time. One of these days I will put in the effort to figure it out.

Once or twice the site was unavailable if I recall correctly. Then I actually got to the site and wasn't sure what the password requirements were but I attempted to create an account. I think it said I would receive an email to confirm my email and I never saw it. Then I tried again later and forgot what I used for the password so I attempted to use the password recovery option and didn't receive the email again. It could mostly be user error, I am sure. In responding to you I found an email from August 2nd asking me to verify my email. So I will try again. Sorry to waste your time with my pathetic floundering around. : ) I will get it figured out.
