Sorry, I had to do it. I basically didn't have a choice. Seriously though, great article. You're right that commenting is the way to get started. For a lot of people (myself included when I started) commenting was a bulk of the rewards that I received.
Commenting gets more people to your blog as they find out that you kinda know what you're talking about. People also like knowing that you're a real person and they can relate to you.
Reading the article is just basic, but a lot of people don't do that. They just want to get to the bottom so they can write a quick comment and (hopefully) get a little upvote to help them on their way. It's very selfish and normally easy to spot. Other times not, but eventually a person's true nature comes out. If all they care about is the upvote, eventually it will show. When they actually get to the point where they want to reward good content and not just fish for votes, then they can start giving and actually building a community.
I don't usually upvote comments because of that! When I see that a person read the post i go to their own blogs and read their content if it is good I upvote it!
When i first started on steemit my bulk of the rewards were comments too!! I got to 200 followers just by commenting
I hate spammers!
I've gotten a few quality followers from commenting on their pages. Most of the followers I have are deadbeats. They appear in the numbers, but they don't do anything. I don't even know why they exist. That's the way it goes though!
