Thank you for sharing these. I'm fairly new but my dream is to become successful here. I like what you said about being consistent and having good content. In my first week here, I see a lot of low quality post which just overcrowds the feed. It's easy to overlook some good content especially from newbies like me. But it will not discourage me from creating quality post in the future.
What you said is true, I should focus more on engaging with people and learning from the successful ones in here. I have posted a few blogs which I worked hard on but I understand why it can go easily unnoticed. Not focusing on the reward can make it less frustrating and yes I will focus on the fun :)
Good one, I agree with you. I am sure that you will be a big success here...
