Andy. Most of the articles you have posted on Dlink are on the world wide web. I have checked. Your personal posts are incredibly interesting. Look where you live and what you can tell the world about your world. It is all in the delivery. All you need is a well thought out storey, well executed and pictures to boot. People like lots of pictures. If pictures are too hard and a lot of work, pick one passion and stick with that. Find like minded folk and that is your tribe. Could be politics (ugh) or health or building a wall. Whatever. Also you need a constant back and forth flow with your followers. You have lots of followers according to your numbers, but do you really follow them?. Pick 5 or 6 or maybe 10 followers that you constantly engage in. I mean constantly. You have to be consistent. That means that you read their post and comment and upvote and they read yours. Daily or every other day or even twice a week. If they really like it they will resteem. Then you slowly build your audience. I will give you an example. When was the last time you upvoted Edith or Sallybeth or anyone else for that matter?. The reason the DLink has more upvote is mostly automatic votes. Which really means zip, since they have not read it and commented they are just upvoting for a reward at the end. Like anything else..garbage in and garbage out. Pick a passionate subject. You can write. Politics (ugh) trash, world peace, global warming, building a house, growing a tomato, making a stew. Start a contest, comment on a book or show us your village. Show us your shore lines, your rocks, things that grow and stuff that is alive. Make us want to be there. Draw the reader in. You have written numerous fine articles and I for one have watched you grow. However there is not the consistency and you let your good intentioned readers slide. If you want success pick a few good ones. Stick with them and follow them and upvote and comment until the cows come home. If you are tired of writing about Lanzarote write about other stuff you know. You know a lot. Opionins, thoughts, creations. Then write and photo some good stuff and you will notice a difference. Just saying. Signed your biggest supporter and your most loved critic. xx
