What makes for a great introduceyourself post?

Hello seasoned Steemians,

Can you please help me figure out why some #introduceyourself posts seem to do really well and others (like the one I posted this morning) don't?

I thought long and hard about my introducemyself below I posted this morning.  I sweated it off.  After all, I was putting myself on display, instead of eating my birthday cake.  It earned $ 0.86 as of now. That may be great  if things go like Bitcoins (I have not figured out what to do with all of that 0.86 yet). 

Maybe I thought too much about what to write?

Did my introduction suck that much?  Where? Honesty is a gift, so go for it!

You "older" Steemians may have figured a few things out about what make posts work.  Could you please give me a hint or two? Consider your feedback a birthday present to me.

For example, I am really glad that these posts below did well, truly.  How awesome! They made a lot of $ in a short time.  Why?
