How it feels to see your post don't get upvoted...

I just want to share how it feels to see your post get viewed but don't get upvoted or the feeling of don't get upvoted at all.


I know many of us here are just beginners and had joined because of the possible earning we could get. Personally, I myself joined steemit for an extra income and to sustain the things I'll be needed since my brother had sacrificed enough for me and I could no longer endure seeing the tiredness of his face, how he skip meal and how he always overtime on his work just to provide my needs.



I imagined that by joining in this platform, I could be able to support my schooling. I thought that the moment I signed up, joined and posted, I could be able to earn money already. But I guess, I was wrong. Afterall, earning money in steemit isn't a piece of cake. You have to create a very interesting and informative content. You have to think of a very creative way of dilevering your piece.



As what I have observed, some of the upvoted posts were travel posts and other adventure post. But as much I want to travel, I don't have the money to spend and travel to beautiful places. So I posted a poem, my experiences and informative post about something I usually encounter.



Everytime I post, I always pray and hope that my post will get upvoted. I am just not being hypocrite. I joined because I want to earn an extra income so I always hope for an upvote. After a day, I usually check my post and seeing I got a zero or few upvote drags my emotion down. And I thought to myself that maybe, my piece isn't interesting, isn't worth reading and non-sense. If only I could delete my post, I will really do. It is so embarassing seeing my blog flooded with posts but got zero upvote but at this moment I am adding another "not worth reading for" post on my blog.

Somehow, I guess it's luck that atleast there's a very few post of mine got resteemed and got upvoted by high ranks made my post earned. And that is the best feeling I could ever imagine. Where your self-esteem boosted.

I know, this is a non-sense post and will never get upvoted but somehow in the middle of the night, at least I'd be able to express my emotion through this post. If you read this, thank you so much. You boosted my confidence.
