Community is what steemit is really about, getting hundreds of followers is fairly pointless if they are all minnows who don't understand your message.
Post something you are really passionate about, and comment on other posts about the same subject, and you will start to find people willing to upvote most of your work.
That's the hard part. Commenting on other posts about the same subject that I really passionate about.
Because as I see, no one else writes about amateur radio on Steemit! Currently I am the only one who writes about it on Steemit.
But I am constantly trying to support and communicate with others.
Upvote them, comment under their posts and resteem their posts.
Thanks for the support anyway.
My advice would be to share STEEMIT with your amateur radio friends :D
I only keep contact with them on the radio. They are not exactly my friends. I mean I don't know them personally.
I couldn't even know (meet) most of them personally, because I speak with foreign people most of the time (due to the nature of the shortwave propagation).
I am not good at personal communication because of my autism spectrum disorder and I live with other disabilities and because of that I don't have real life (personal) friends.
Not to mention the fact that a lot of the amateur radio operators don't use computers/internet so I couldn't even contact them any other way, even If I would like to. Except a paper letter (mail) of course.
But mentioning Steemit to them would be pointless/meaningless.
Thanks for explaining but why would you make the choice for them?
One of my strongest belief is that "You cannot get a No, unless you ask" It has brought me great success.
The point of STEEMIT is to create a social network and community, regardless if they aren't into computers or internet now.
Maybe your suggestion might make that change.
Good luck.
BEEEEEERCULES!
Not a bad advice IMHO
