As you say, commenting is the fastest and most effective way to grow your account. It's just a fact. If you post an article and nobody sees it, it doesn't matter how good it is or how much time and effort you put into it. You won't get rewarded. If a tree falls in the forest....
When you comment, you are GUARANTEED to get noticed. You may not get rewarded, but then again, you might. But, again as you pointed out in the article, what you are also guaranteed to get is practice writing, knowledge from what you read, and name recognition/exposure by getting your name out there for people to see.
It's a marathon, not a sprint. But there are definitely things you can do to make sure you're running that marathon downhill and with the wind rather than uphill and into it. The distance is still the same and it still requires a lot of effort, but consistent engagement is by far the single most important factor in ensuring you will be successful.

@dagger212 , I have read this whole Task's post, and ALL (!) the following comments under it, twice. With one very simple reason - FIND ONE comment, which would be most worth to honor with my 100% BOOM. And TBH, this was not an easy task.
Several other commenters here were serious candidates as well.
With post age at this very moment 42 hours, and more than five more days before it will expire, maybe a bunch more good additional comments to this post will follow.
In any case, yours was selected as the most appealing to me 😀😀
So here we go:
As you can see, there is a string of my curation trail, participants adding their part to it too.

Wow! Thank you! I was just going through my notifications and saw the upvote before seeing your comment so I actually just responded to taskmaster first. lol
I really appreciate the recognition. And the LEO, obviously. :-)
This really does go to show that the best way forward for people, whether new or veterans, is still to read and engage other people on this platform. It is awesome that you are out there slapping these large votes on unsuspecting people. I know I speak for many when I say it is greatly appreciated and is truly a motivating factor in continuing to engage. After all, you never know when @onealfa is going to come around and lower the BOOM! on one of your comments. :-)

Visibility is a difficult thing. I like the tree in the forest analogy, isn't that what we see a lot on here?
The bottom line is there are authors who are constantly going through their articles and reading the comments. At the same time, they return comment while also, perhaps, upvoting.
Anyone who gets in the habit of targeting those people will find the path on Leofinance much easier.
And as @littlebee4 found out, one might just end up mentioned in another's blog post.

Case in point. I was late to reading and commenting on this article; over a full day elapsed between you posting the article and my comment. Yet still @onealfa came by and read it and gave me a very big upvote. You just never know who is reading.
If you look through almost every one of my posts, I read and respond to every comment I get and upvote them for taking the time to read and making the effort to comment.
To me, not only does it make financial sense to do so, it's just common courtesy and I appreciate people reading my articles.
For people like you that can sometimes get dozens of comments, I can see it being a little more difficult. That said, you respond to far more of my comments than you don't, no matter when or where they occur.
You practice what you preach and I'm just trying to follow in the footsteps. Why reinvent the wheel when you are proving every day it works?
Read, comment, upvote: Engage! It really is what this place is all about.
Thank you onealfa! I appreciate it!
