Want People To See Your Posts?
Then engage with their posts.
Really.
It's that simple.
I'd say it's one of the #1 most important things to succeeding on steemit.
But more importantly than that...
...it's just a good rule for life in general.
Show interest in others instead of worrying about yourself.
I want to apologize to everyone because the last 2-3 weeks have been some of the busiest, most hectic, most crazy, most ridiculous weeks of my life.
So I haven't been commenting near as much as I've been doing since I did my first post in February.
Tried to catch up a little today.
Just know I haven't forgotten you.
Or lost interest in you.
Updated next day with this:
I'm holding a raffle to win 45 steem monsters packs, consulting on how to grow you instagram to 100k followers, and more! Check it out here! I set it up so that several people have chances to win.
Steepshot
Great advice @nomadicsoul. Glad everything is calming down around you.
#steemitbloggers
thanks @reonlouw
It's a great idea but I don't think it works 100% though. Some people are all about levels and when your SP isn't up to theirs, you're not their level

I'm not sure who those people are. I'm sure they may be out there, but there are so many people on steemit that it's really just easy to move on. Plenty of people to talk to.
I never had a problem with people not talking to me for having a low vote value. Although I used to worry bout it... I found out it was mostly in my head. 99.5% of steemians have been very nice and welcoming to me, and I see them even being willing to delegate out SP to others.
And I don't know about other people, but for me...
I don't even look in people's wallets really anymore.
Like right now.
I'm replying to your comment.
I have no idea how much SP you have.
Your comment deserves a response whether it's 10SP or 5,000.
Anyway, tomorrow or tonight... I'm doing a post because I am going to delegate SP as well!
For free.
No strings attached. Just need to be a redfish or someone who wants to have more communication opportunities on the platform.
Haven't quite figure it out yet but it'll be soon!
I hope everyone is treating you nicely here!
I would say we operate in more or less the same way. I wish it's the same with everyone here. Thanks for your reply and I look forward to see what lies in store in your contest! 🤗

thanks for providing yet another example of people who realized that Delegation is the key and solution. that's essential part of "engaging with the people", as this post stresses. after all, it is a platform build on Delegated Proof-of-Stake! :)
As a start I‘m going to write this comment 😅
hahaha that's a great start
Funny it could not be any easier.
"Give before you expect; take a step forward and stop hoping that someone does it for you
Good quote @empress-eremmy!!! I really like that. I was thinking that the other day, too.
About a girl that I wished would reach out to me more.
Then I was like "wait. I'm thinking backward. Why don't I reach out to HER more?"
So simple.
I've been on a mission lately to remember each day to reach out to someone I love
It's really very simple, isn't it?! Like all of those things "we" learned in Kindergarten ... be polite, ask before you take, show interest in others, be kind and considerate, show love, share ... ahhh what a world it could be :)
Ahhh true!!! Why does it stop at kindergarten?!?
Wow I didn't think of that. You're so right though!!
Good question! I used to teach high school and tried to reiterate those "rules" daily :)
You have nailed it on the head! Engage with others' posts but also be sure to make a point of engaging with others on your posts. If people comment on my posts they can usually expect, at a minimum, an upvote. Getting a thread going on your post is pretty awesome too.

I'm the same! I typically upvote everyone who comments and I try to reply back to all. If I ever miraculously get a huge following I don't know if that would be possible anymore because I have to do my day job and all that haha.
Btw, my VP is too low right now bc I've been handing votes out like candy. Couldn't help myself. I get support-happy sometimes haha.
But when it recharges, I'll come back and upvote comments here
Know what you mean... my VP is usually in the 50's most days by time i'm done.
Stop by to say hi! I love to comment on people's posts... Every morning first time I check is the GinaBot to see anyone reply to my comments from the night before, so fun!
I do that too!!! <3 Thanks for stopping by to say hi!
Absolutely
You're the queen of engagement!
I do engage but think I may be invisible LOL :)
haha I see you!!!! But my VP is low so I'll have to come back to this lol
This is so true. I hear people say all the time that no one comments anymore, and then I ask them, well do you? It works both ways. Thanks for pointing this out @nomadicsoul
OOOO good question!!!!!!!!! Deep. lol what response do you typically get to that? crickets?
If you say that to them it's a total mic drop.
P.S. I'll upvote this comment when my VP charges up more
