For the time that you have spent on Steemit, I believe that's a pretty comprehensive post that you have made regarding what people do on Steemit, and how best to make use of this platform. I fully agree with the "begging for follows" part - to those who have been here long enough, receiving these now and then (I do - but others may have it worse) is irritating at best.
Personally, I don't like to upvote my posts - but I guess it will be up to people. Some people, like myself, see it as trying to gain for yourself (if I'm not mistaken, the earlier you vote for a post, the more you stand to gain as more people vote for the same post, but I'm not sure if that has changed).
Posting what you want to post is better than, I believe, posting because you want to gain from Steemit. Sure, we all do want to have a slice of the pie, but forcing yourself to post and getting bad results is really disheartening. Better to post what you like, and quality content at that!
Thanks, I gave you my tiny little upvote for contributing something of added value to my post. I do think it's better than upvoting my own post - which doesn't really seem to help much with visibility. If i had more to give, I would. I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment!
No problem! Do look around - I'm sure there's always a way to contribute to the value of Steemit, such as what you have done, and such experiences which you share are invaluable to those who are starting out! Perhaps, when you are here long enough, you might want to contribute to the Steem Wiki - you can check out @steemcenterwiki. If I'm not mistaken they will pay in Steem for contributing!
Thanks, that's a great tip for everybody who stops by.
No problem! I will give you a follow - look forward to what you have to post in the future!
