RE: [FREE SBD] What Did You Learn About SteemIt Today?
I have learned today here on steemit that sometimes, one has to take that brave step to interact more within the community by upvoting and engaging with relevant commentary.
I see this as an important first step in pursuit for success on steemit, as I never actually thought of doing this until today. It started this morning getting heavily involved interacting and the results where exceptional. I got a couple of whales to upvote my post which was a big plus for me, not so much in terms of monetary value but more of getting noticed by this whales.
Interacting in this manner only allowed me a much wider audience and gave me a chance to showcase what I have to offer to the community.
My approach was interacting more with posts, that I considered had value for the community. So, I upvoted, resteemed and try to add a relevant commentary where I could.
One great tip, is to make sure that you read the post content fully first, in order to post a comment that can be seen as relevant and in which case has a higher chance of being upvoted by the author or other users.
Also in my experience today, not all authors will agree with you, which is expected. There maybe many reasons why they may disagree with you, but respect that as well, but try to be clear and concise with your commentary always.
It was a good and rewarding experience today and I encourage minnows to do the same at least for a day and see how it turns out for you as well.
I think you just gave me the idea for my next contest :0)
Interaction is indeed one of the important keys here on SteemIt.
If you can make an insightful and valuable comment (which you can only do when you read the entire post), it is appreciated by the author. It may not result in an upvote on your comment, but if you are consistent, people will remember...
And that's how you can achieve that other people will notice you.
There's nothing wrong with posting a comment that is a little controversial, like saying that you disagree with the author. As long as you can provide valid arguments that explain why you disagree, such a comment might end up as a very interesting conversation from which both parties will learn, as wel as get to know each other.
Have you thought about using the things you mention in this comment to create an article to post on your blog? I think it's important that the knowledge you acquired is shared, so newcomers can learn from it directly. It would be a shame to let this information be just a part of this comment stream. The things you say are too valuable for that. I suggest you make a post out of it, so it will reach more people, and it can help others who are still learning the ropes around here.
Making posts telling others about the important things you're learning along the way, has 2 big benefits:
Every lesson that is passed on will make SteemIt a better place!
Thank you @simplymike, I could have given you more in uvpote, but todays activity kind of drained my VP, just to show appreciation. 😁
I totally agree with you that interaction is key.
Yes, good advice, I will surely write a post to share what I have learned today to help others.
Keep up the great work your doing, let's make steemit a great place for all. Followed you.
I know all about it. Ever since I started this contesg and promised to give everyone an upvote I haven’t been able to upvote the comments i liked, not inside this comment thread, not outside...
But maybe that has been a good thing, because I’ve learned that most people (including me) find a good comment, without an upvote, equally or even more valuable than just an upvote. :0)
