Good morning everyone, this is @bait002 with updates coming from the offline minnow school where minnows are mentored and groomed. It’s the second week since we started phase two although, things are sort of challenging, we are however scaling through. I would like to announce briefly some of the things you should expect from us;
• Lifestyle: a better way to promote steemit using a TV/Interview manner.

• Exhibition: art and music exhibition will commence in a short while. Coupled with offline open-mic contests with free SBD give away.

• Contests: for some time now I have been talking about the offline minnow school contest and so far a lot of people have been anticipating. The contest will come very soon, with amazing concepts. Trust me, it would be like none you’ve ever know. WATCH OUT!

Interact! Interact!! Interact!!!

Quickly today, I will be talking about the power of interaction on steemit, something that most minnows really never do. We don’t say a word through the best medium of communication on this platform, those comment boxes were made for you to interact and make others see what you’re made of. Comments on posts mean so much to a lot of steemians that they even give quality upvotes to those who interact on their posts via comments.
More happens for you and your blog when you begin to comment on people’s post. When I say comment I am not talking about;
• Nice post!
• Quality writing!
• I love your blog!
• Follow me and I follow you…lol
No don’t do that! That’s a clear indication that you didn’t even read the post. Some would even read a post that is over 1000 words in less than a minute. No! read that post and make some quality contributions through comment. Someone asked me few weeks ago during one of our offline classes, “how do I get more followers?” well, the fastest way I now so far is by making quality contributions through writing constructive comments coupled with the quality of the contents coming from your own blog.

write like a genius and make someone ask “who is that guy?”

Writing a mini-article under the article in question, this will give more value or ask a question that will educate you, and other readers who would be reading after you. That’s what I am talking about. I will be making an article in the future on how to make comments like a pro.
Spend some time around steemit more than you do on your blog. Make a commitment for the next one month to comment on at least 10-50 posts daily and see the big difference that would make for you. I have seen it work for several people, heard several testimonies from users who tried this method.
I would like to end all this by admitting that it wouldn’t be very easy to push through with this, but like I always say “steemit is work, and you will never get out of it more than you put into it. Thank you for reading guys and I hope you find this helpful.

I am @bait002 and I am a lover of steemit.
