I appreciate this post. I am new to the platform and have only posted the introduceyourself blog so far. I just really enjoy writing and want to share some messages with my followers. And likewise, I want to read good quality content. What I've noticed though, is that there is a ton of GREAT content here. So it's pretty uplifting.
I'll just start small, and hopefully can end up with a relatively successful blog. But your observations and advice makes a lot of sense.
Thank you @shawnfishbit.
I never used a blogging platform before Steemit, for several reasons but mainly because I thought what I would write would probably never get seen by anyone. On Steemit you get recognition in several ways which makes writing here rewarding. On top of that it seems to have attracted a very nice and interesting bunch of people which makes the audience very special and is a big added bonus.
Unfortunately there are no short cuts but pumping out regular quality content will get you noticed and with increased followers will come increased engagement and interaction and rewards. Also don't forget to read and engage with other users on their posts. This will help you build further connections.
Thank you for reading this post and I wish you well in your writing. I look forward to reading some of it.
