RE: Curie Comment Contest Week 4 (August 26th - September 2nd, 2018)
Thanks @curie for the opportunity to see all these great authors on steemit and for sponsoring them so that they can be properly rewarded for their great work.
Also @audreybits well done on coming in first place. It is always nice to be at the top position so congratulations.
And thanks to you as well, you are really bringing it in the comments, not just for this contest but with a really high level of engagement in general! Even among all these great commenters, your comment history stood out to me when I reviewed it :) Awesome work mate!
Thank you @carlgnash for that. I was making a lot more effort than usual just to see what could be achieved with the right attitude. I don't know if you have heard of ashers engagement league but I was making a bit push to get up the charts and fortunately managed to get to third place last week.
Part of it was just making that extra little bit of effort to write longer and more detailed comments where as before I used to just vote and move on after I read most posts.
I can't believe the difference it has made in just one week by getting more involved. The people that I have spoken to, the new followers and the upvotes were all a lovely surprise from just doing something that I enjoyed anyway. I had a bit more time than usual this week as I had a few days off to use so it will drop off a bit when I'm back to work but still looking forward to keeping up the engagement.

Yes I am very familiar with @abh12345's engagement league and in fact @curie sponsors prize payout there :) Asher rocks! You make a great point btw that you actually grown your own account quickly while you engage, if you spend the energy doing it. It is a more surefire way to grow your account than posting (although of course, doing both is optimal). Cheers - Carl
That is very true. If i was new to steemit again i would do a lot of things very differently and one of those that i have passed onto new members is not to worry about posting at the start unless you have something very vital to get across. Comment and interact first and build up connections, otherwise you will spend months working on good posts that earn 1c and just get you discouraged. It's a mistake that i made myself at the beginning but luckily enough had the perseverance to keep going even when this was happening.
I'm new to the curation league but love the concept. Asher is brilliant and projects like curie that do keep people interested and encouraged to keep going. It makes all the difference in the end. Thanks Carl.
This comment thread absolutely deserves to be seen!
The fact that you are combining the Engagement League with the @curie comment contest is just awesome :D
Good luck in the EL this week!
Ssshh, you'll give away all my secrets... If your going to go for it, you might as well go hard.
To be fair i've seen a lot of the same names in the the two places. It makes sense to combine the two when they complement each other so well. How do you find interesting engaged authors, curie already has. If you are going to be commenting and engaging them, might as well try to top the league at the same time.
We agree wholeheartedly! :D
Thank you, Niallon!
