RE: What to buy in August - Part II Fruits

Hi @pusteblume!
As promised here are some recommenadations regarding your blog. I'll do them in English, just in case other people would like to read / understand them and probably even learn form it :-)

First of all: I've never been diving really deep into the #food sector on steemit, so I personally don't know which type of content works well here. However, there are a few things I found looking at it "from the outside".

Why did you use the tag #fruitsandveggies? I surfed to the related tag section and there are only 3 articles in total created with that tag. That means that not only few content has been labelled with this tag, but also that there might not be too many users searching for it: https://steemit.com/created/fruitsandveggies
Conclusion: you might try to use a tagging that is at least technically able to find their audience. Means (not sure if you have seen my last vlog, I explained it there as well): try to use tags that are popular (generate traffic) without being the top trending tags. So if you surf through the general tag list (https://steemit.com/tags) you might find tags related with the food sector that might be more popular than the main tag you've been chosing. Like e.g.: recipes, health, gardening. They generate nice amounts of SBD (as you can see in the right column in the tag list), but are not the TOP tags in the whole network (so too competitive).

Why do I talk so much about the tagging? Well your content is really good and it's actually a pitty that only 7 people opened your article.

Another thing you might consider is that you could use some cross headings (Zwischenüberschriften :-)) to separate the most important information from the details. The attention span in social media is very short, so people need the information to be presented precisely. It's like thinking about fast food in the food sector :-) They need to be able to consume your content quickly. Those who enjoy reading the whole story might do that. But the majority would appreciate being given the opportunity to just fly over the article and being well informed anyways. You can have a look at my @surfermarly account, I use a lot of different font sizes there...

Coming back to that food sector: are you engaging a lot with other food bloggers? Because that's obviously one of the most important things here in the beginning: try to introduce yourself into the relevant sub communties and get more attention like that. It's like at your first day at school, haha! You just knock on the door say hello and start to talk to people. On steemit it's actually very easy to get in contact since everybody WANTS to communicate here and people are very friendly and open-minded. So try to comment on other people's articles and start conversations with them, that will help tremendously to push your own blog then :-)

I was also wondering that you might improve your profile description.

Always Sunshine ☀️

... that is a nice headline no doubt about that! However, it's not very precise either. What might people find in your blog? Weather forecast? Traveling? Happiness? Sunshine is a wide field...
You might actually try to specify your doings a bit more. Imagine that the profile description is like the cover of a magazine. It should make people "hungry" to read more :-)
I think yours is photography and food, right? That's at least what I captured from surfing through your blog...

Now I've also studied your introduction. OK so I hit the nail more or less, haha! Good!
One important thing regarding your intro: probably you didn't receive soooo much attention since you didn't use the tags #introduceyourself and #introducemyself. The thing is that a lot of curation bots and whales surf around these pages and upvote new users. Perhaps you missed some big upvotes just due to this tagging issue.

If I were you I'd do another introduction post. No worries about that! You just explain in the beginning that you were wondering doing it again since you didn't use the right tagging in your first one, then nobody will complain :-)

Btw:

I work as an optician for more than 20 years now and I still love it.

THIS is great! If I were you I'd definitely right more about that. I haven't seen anybody talking about a job like yours on steemit yet.
You could mix that up with the photography topic, like: "How an optician sees the world...." or something like that. Just trying to give it a personal touch nobody else is able to provide here :-) Because that's what it's actually about: being different, creating unique content and standing out!

Well that were a few things I might recommend you to improve or focus on in a different way.
I hope you enjoyed it :-)

I will follow you with both accounts and see how it's going.
Just in case you would re-post an introduction, drop the link in one of surfermarly's articles, then I can upvote it with the more powerful account :-)

Steem on & schönes Wochenendeeeee! :-)
