No you are right in your instinct not to spam Steemit with your post link. Honestly it is a bit of a crapshoot if your post will get noticed or not when you are just starting out and don't have many followers.

I am excited you have a new post ready and will keep an eye out for it, but please do drop me the link as soon as you publish. If the new post is as detailed, well written and generally awesome as the last one I am pretty confident I can pass it on to some curator friends of mine and get it some good exposure. I just wish I had seen this first post before the payout period was up, this has to be one of the more undervalued posts I have ever seen on Steemit. Anyway looking forward to reading more and seeing more awesome travel photography!
