Thanks for you feedback. Its not "negative", its constructive criticism to me....

In response to your points...

• A newbie who is pretty clueless what to do with steemit will find it helpful to know that updating his profile and doing an introductory post will place him on a better earning pedestal on steemit. Irrespective of wether the post is noticed or not. The newbie has a better shot of earning more following these tips than otherwise, unless of course if the person has already been blogging from wherever he is coming from
• If you want to really immerse yourself into the steemit community, then you need to follow people, see their posts, comment on their works.... This will earn you followers too when people see your comments and follow you too, even the post authors do follow back sometimes.

In the end its a personal choice what you do with your steemit time, and how you use it... This post only gives advice and guidelines to help one grow in steemit. These are not set in stone rules, that must be rigidly followed to the letter.
