RE: Commenting VS. Creating Content (For Minnows - Is this the Question or Answer?
Keep at it!! Having only been here for 5 weeks I would certainly emphasize the 'commenting' challenge - maybe shoot for 5 - 8 comments - which will probably take the same amount of time or less than 1 post a day and also try your best to comment as soon as possible after the post is posted without compromising the content of your comment - sometimes it's smart to also check the previous posts of Authors to see which ones actually upvote and interact with the comments and which post and be done - I feel like 70-75% of Authors with a rep above 70 will interact with comments -
If there is a post with 200 comments don't expect the Author to reply to all - it would simply consumers way too much time
Take a look at some of my comments that were effective with rewards and maybe follow some of those people
Thank you very much for this detailed answer.
I certainly will try some of your ideas, I just wish I had more time. Haha
Still need to do my real job, well I guess most of us do.
@maxinpower - Anytime!! The one beautiful thing about STEEMIT which has never really changed as far as I know is that people are ALWAYS willing to help, share advice, explain things and also motivate... One of the attributes of the platform I really admire.
And yes - I struggle with the time issue as well on STEEMIT - Working 50-60 hours a week with a 2 year old daughter is quite cumbersome... I try to sneak in 10 - 30 minutes here and there at different times of the day and some days I just have zero hours for STEEMIT because food on the table and family are my priorities in life... If I ever get to the whale status and reap even $100 blog posts Ill quit the day job and be on here 6-8 hours a day and have more time for my family as well :)
Who knows maybe Ill get a christmas bonus and dump it into SP and roll the dice :)
