RE: Saturday Tip | What Does It Take To Have A Successful Blog + Filipina Steemians To Learn From
Great post. i came across it on the #newbieresteem promotion channel.
I think you’re giving some good tips. Blogging is more than just creating good content. It’s, like you say, just as important to engage with your readers and - maybe the most important of them all - be real.
During this couple of months here on SteemIt I learned that engagement is the best way to build an audience for your blog. Another thing I’ve learned is that when I think too much when writing a post -as in: writing from the mind instead of from the heart - my posts are very forced, which reflects on the readers. Since I realized that, I’m trying to limit writing what I think the people want to read, but instead I’m trying to be little more ‘me’... This makes writing more enjpyable, and that too reflects on the reader.
(Gosh, I’m not even sure I am able to make clear what I mean - lol. Sometimes the language barrier limits me)
Anyway, great post, you’ve got yourself a new follower :0)

I totally get what you're saying, @simplymike! And I would have to agree. I become so conscious with syntax, grammar, etc. that what I'm writing ends up being too formal or, like you said, forced.
I am very grateful for what your community does for us, newbies. You noticing my post and picking me to be part of your top 10 for the day is a huge thing. For one, I know now that such a community of helpers exist, and two, I have new-found respect for humanity because of people like you. I followed along to keep myself updated of your community involvements, and follow suit as well.
'Til next time,
Jeanne
Glad to hear we could help you to refind respect in humanity. I’ve been there myself, I know it’s a huge deal
