RE: Are you your ideal follower?
I agree about quality. I just joined Steemit, and have not written my first post. I'd rather read other people's posts, and learn about the platform.
I think the key to good communication is simply to care about other people, to offer them something of value that will make their lives a bit better.
By reminding me of the "golden rule," to treat others as you yourself wish to be treated, you made my life a little bit better. So thanks, and take care. :)
Hi, thanks for your reply. Well I can already say you are strarting off better than I did.
It is a good thing to just sit, watch, read, and comment. Like other people I started posting stuff I thought would be interesting to others, without realizing there are no others listening yet.
Starting on Steemit is like walking in to a giant room with thousands of people already talking in their own circle. New arrivers are kind of lost. Have to start talking to complete strangers and say something noteworthy, or nice, or... well everything better than 'great post, please upvote me'.
My advice would be, pick a topic you really like and move around in those circles. Participate in contests, that can be a big help too. Not all contests are about being great at something, many contest just require some kind of comment and after some time there is a draw.
Keep track of things you eventually want to write about, just in case you forget or experience a writer's block.
Have fun!
