One of the main features of Steemit is the interaction between users; so it is not enough to share good articles, if there is no interaction with others, you will hardly achieve the visibility you need to get support.

When I started in Steemit, I made a common mistake in the beginning of many people, which is to dedicate myself only to write articles, trying to stay active by sharing information in areas that I master, without paying attention to the fact that there are thousands of users who do the same every day, so it was difficult to capture the attention of other users, making these publications go unnoticed, even when I consider that they were attractive and well-structured topics.

Of course, the idea is not to start with contributions of little or medium quality, but to invest efforts to become known and get a number of important followers for our blog.

The simplest and most correct way to achieve visibility in Steemit is through comments; thanks to them you can get noticed, getting the support of others through votes and even with the reesteem; always paying special attention to the quality of these comments, because they can represent a "hey! here I am", but without valuable contributions, so they fail to capture the attention of other users.

What is a quality comment?

There are many elements to take into consideration when making a good comment, which will help you project yourself as a good blogger and gain followers.

A good comment:

• It shows that you really read the whole article.
• It makes contributions, expanding the content, offering a reflection, offering suggestions, giving an opinion about a specific point or disagreeing on a certain idea.
• Develops, as it goes beyond a simple greeting with four simple words.
• It respects the opinion and position of others, it does not insult or try to discredit other authors.
• It is original and attractive, making use of good phrases and even good humor, it is neither too long nor too short, it is precise and concise.
• Of course, it is well written, with correct spelling and good writing.

What are the bad comments like?

It is important to value the effort that everyone makes when commenting on publications, but we must always take care of the established quality standards.

What I express here is my humble personal opinion, considering that a bad comment is like that:

• Very good post, congratulations.
• I loved it, I already voted for you, I'm waiting for your vote.
• What a great initiative, keep it up.
• I'm already following you, now follow me.

We must recognize that there are articles that are difficult to comment, and it is not that they are bad but that it is difficult to find the words to make a good contribution, for which it is advisable to think very well what you are going to write, or wait for another post of that author that we understand better to make a quality comment, when we have more concrete ideas, in order to avoid making empty comments.

So it is about attracting the attention of readers through the comments, so they will feel attracted to visit the blog (without having to ask them directly) and there they will find the quality articles that you have done with so much effort, to vote, share it and follow you; that is the dynamic.

Final considerations.

Keep in mind that a comment on Steemit is one more publication that can also be valued, so it can generate as much or more profit than a post.

Nowadays the big curators of the platform frequently visit and support quality comments made on posts, and likewise the curation teams. Some of these teams include in their weekly reports a quality comment that they have supported during that week.

When writing a comment, do your best to make sure that this small contribution is well elaborated. In addition to the advice given above, make good use of Markdown and if possible incorporate images or videos (without overdoing it, it is not strictly necessary). That way you will have great chances of getting support in your comments.
