RE: Be Mindful of Your Tags and Layout Format Or They'll Make a Point to Down Vote Your Content
I'm still learning about the whole SteemPower, whales and how they influence things and all sorts of other things on here. I do find some users treat noobs as though they should be psychic, but, for the most part I've found most people to be super helpful and encouraging!
I am forever learning and just read a great article from one of the witnesses here that for the newcomers it is best to focus on commenting instead of worrying so much about authorship. As a matter of fact, commenting has been where I have generated the majority of my sbd. So for now I am going to do just that, comment on whatever I like and do it as often as I can. Mind you, I want to share my honest ideas, thoughts and opinions instead of the usual, "great post." spam comment that's often seen on the platform.
Focus on building your SP to at least 1,000 and then writing is what I heard pays off in the long term. It's vital that we learn how to do things the right way, and saves time!
I say do both. No harm in writing your own posts. You probably won't make much off them to begin with, but just keep going and it will increase. When I have the time, my ideal strategy is to always have at least two posts in my Steemit blog within the past seven days and to make a lot of sincere comments on other people's posts. That way if anyone seeing my comment decides to check out my profile they will have something current to interact with. It's what I've have seen the best results from. Also, someone viewing your profile is going to be more likely to Follow you if you are posting regularly. What's the point of Following someone who isn't posting?
You have a point and I probably should stick to doing both, but place more emphasis on commenting at first. I have noticed that I don't make as much on my own content but earn more sbd on commenting. I was wondering if sp has anything to do with this and if the system is set up to pay those with lower sp less off of their posts. So, I will definitely continue posting instead of limiting my interactions. Thanks for your advice.
