This article is definitely for me, lol. A struggling blogger who wants to be known and recognized on this platform. I haven't reached my 1-month mark but so far I am very happy with how things are going.

I have read a lot of posts from fellow Steemians and upon reading each post, I can't help but feel insecure.There are way too many talented people here, and my writing skill (though I have been writing for about half of my life now) is nothing compared to them.

Luckily because of my previous jobs, I have access to tools such as Copyscape, which I found very helpful. I even use this tool to check my students' works related to writing (yes I'm a teacher). I teach my students the same structure that you have mentioned on this post, and I hope more people will be able to read this, especially the ones who are just starting and are not good at writing.

Moreover, I definitely agree that one should NEVER beg for upvotes or follow. I am also proud to say that my followers chose to follow me. And even though I don't get the recognition I want, for now, it is ok. Coz I myself believe that I am still not good enough, that there is always something new to learn, that there is always a room for improvement, that I am still a work in progress.

There is only one thing that I would like to add to this amazing article, SOCIALIZE. This platform is a social platform, hence engagement is imperative. It is not enough to post high quality articles, you also need to make engagements. How to do this? Simple: support quality articles by upvoting them, leave a comment to encourage the writer to create more high quality posts, join groups (in my case I joined #steemitachievers and #steemitfamilyph) and make friends... be sincere, be positive, and always be appreciative. 😊

Again, I commend you for writing such a good article. I hope to see more of your future posts. 😊
