Intelliguy is intelligent. Well said man. I used to earn less than a dollar per post when I joined Steemit until I read a post like this.
Over time, I've been able to develop a good writer - reader relationship with my stories.
One thing I did was to write to meet my needs. If I needed to be happy, someone else definitely needs to be happy too. This works for me.
I've als learned that its better not to comment that to write unconnected comments.
