RE: The Alchemy Of Steemit
I was lucky my 1st day here @saywha pulled me into a chat where I meet @tarazkp and @erodedthoughts . they gave me some advice . One was stay out of trending . and a couple little things . I listen and learned , I used some of the principles and applied them to mine . Kept on listing . To this day still listening . later I met @thedarkhorse through @tarazkp . and now here we are . That one small act by @saywha put me on a path .
One small ripple . Acted upon by others adding another ripple . None of this happened over night and work is involved . My goal is to do the same . The odds are in my favor if I and we keep going . I am just an extension of others actions . I fully understand this and accept it . I have a military background and developing young men into a successful team is like no other feeling of success . I get the same feeling here.
LOL crickets on your first post , hell I got a bill lol
Voting is an issue one I struggle on a daily basis with . but then one will never have enough votes so you just do the best you can . My big issue is commenting I have been working on it
lol, thats funny.
Yeah, its hard. I broke down and rented enough delegation to get the slider and just went under 80% even with it and still have several more comments to reply to. It's a good problem to have. I will look into those you named. I was already aware of tarazkp, having been lucky enough to encounter his posts fairly early in my time here. He helped me shape my understanding of the site with his posts, although he has no idea how much. I also found others that were commenting on his posts, like Asher that led me to yet more people.
My issue is posting, after the crickets. The only way I was able to connect was through commenting, so I built up the habit of curating more than posting. It got lonely posting with the only comments having nothing to do with the post and trying to get me to follow for follow or pay for resteems, hahahaha.
That's very good advice.... from @tarazkp - stay out of trending! Just focus on 'reality'!
that advice keep my feet on the ground . plus a couple more that were not so direct :)
