Many new Steemians may not realise how valuable engagement can be.

For your own posts, when you respond to Replies from your audience, you start to build a group of loyal followers who dig your content.

For commenting on posts created by others, you can surprise yourself that the rewards may far outstrip author rewards for your own posts. Ensure that you read the posts and provide feedback that is related to the content. Do not post spam contents. You will get flagged.

Hot Tip: For the content that you enjoy & engage with, check out those who make useful and valuable comments in these posts. Perhaps you can decide to follow them, review their posts & comment in them. They are more likely to reciprocate and your earnings will rise.
