RE: 5 weeks and 550 followers later...Top 12 Things I Learned On Steemit
From my 3 weeks of experience, you hit the nail on the head. Especially concerning some quality trending posts.
I started seeing some real results on steemit when I focused more on interacting with people, than writing my own stuff. More often than not, it seems that adding to a discussion is better than starting a new one :)
I really enjoy your brand, which is also your name ;)
Look forward to seeing more posts from you(I read all the words)!
Yeah, I actually picked up on the importance of interacting from you, @charles1 and @lydon.sipe. The 3 of you are everywhere in comments I read from other authors! I need to do a better job of that.
Lol...I forgot about my name on here. I guess that does kind of give away the brand a little.
I actually clicked on your profile since the name got me interested, so yea there's that :)
Commenting also feels good, better than writing half-assed posts (did a few of those). And since it's not too timeconsuming, it's a nice way to contribute with some thoughts.
Also, it does not hurt that when you comment on a good post you get eyeballs from a lot of people vs. having your own post reach 10 people. So it's a nice way to attract quality followers without having to spend a lot of time making quality posts. When you finally get around to writing a masterpiece, you'll actually have someone reading it :)
You write great comments....should definitely write some posts!
Very good points. I try to do the same. I think you may get the majority of your followers that way, which makes it a necessary first step, and something you can never really stop.
