There are lots of people who are creating a very awesome content in  numerous of spheres of life. They are trying so hard and spending so  much time, and at the same time they are avoiding uncomfortable truth. The truth is that you are going to be rewarded if and only if at  least one of the whales is going to endorse your post. 

 What are the chances that your  post, even knowing that the content is truly valuable, is going to be  liked or up voted by a whale?

I guess to figure that out we need put together all of the factors  that can make an impact on the whale decision, which is to up vote or to  ignore. 

Factor #1 – catchy title + design + content

This one is the most obvious. By having a title that you wanna click on, amazing images and a  helpful/original/entertaining/interesting/unique content you definitely  increase your chances of winning on the Steemit platform. 

Factor #2 – level of expertise

This factor increases or decreases the chances of upvoting a lot. It  is a lot easier for a person to approve that your information is  worthwhile when he knows what you are talking about. For instance, assume you’re writing a post about creating a stunning  sales letter, and the person who is reading this have never done sales  or have never heard about this. In this way a reader can only make a  decision based on overall composition of the text. Because it’s not fair  to judge a content if it’s not an area of your expertise. On the other side, if you’re writing something about Blockchain  technology, and the whale who is reading this is also familiar with it,  he can evaluate your work not just based on the way it’s structured but  also based on the actual material. 

Factor #3 – interest

By simply understanding a human psychology, I can tell that not every  post is going to be interesting for everybody. Even if the content is  well-structured and is touching the level of expertise of a guy who is  reading it, whatever you think is interesting, may not be interesting for everybody. 

Factor #4 – time

Have you ever counted the amount of posts that are generated every  minute? I didn’t but I guess it is huge. Therefore, it’s just simply  impossible to keep on track of all of the posts that are created. Whales are also human beings, they are not robots that have to read everything.

Factor #5 – reputation

Every time when a whale is upvoting some post, he always consider the  fact that it may go viral and stick at the top of trending page for a  while, which is going to boost or decline a reputation of the entire  platform. The reason make-up and marijuana posts are getting trending is because whales are trying to test a potential market on Steemit. For instance, travel, additional tools for Steemit platform,  #introduceyourself posts, inspirational stories, Steemit updates and other news related to Steemit are very hot almost all the time. 

The most interesting question is why whales are not trying to  test posts from all of the spheres? There are a plenty of good content  that is waiting for your help :)

Conclusion

Therefore, by combining all of the factors you can find out that  indeed not every single niche is going to be endorsed unless some of the  whales decide to.
