I think a lot of people don't realize that commenting is a MAJOR part of being successful on Steemit. They seem to think if they just keep throwing out post after post they will eventually make some money. I try to talk to at least one newbie a week and this is part of what I tell them. You can earn as much and sometimes much more off a really good conversation with people than one a dozen posts, and the conversations are easier and faster than a detailed post, lol.
