U5drgKTshpoi3pdEFoWyU8wj1o9i1N4_1680x8400.png


We are already five days into February and I believe that I am far behind on unveiling the Development prompt of the Month.

The Developmetn prompts was an initiative I started this year to give most people who are trying to achieve something tangible this way. It also provides different things you can focus on as the year goes on

The Goal of Last Month was tagged EQUIP, and it involved getting the resources that you need to achieve your goals this year, whether it was books to buy or courses to take, you click here to read the post

When it comes to creating content on Steemit or achieving your goals for the year, you need to update your knowledge base. The only reason why you have nothing to post is because you did not learn anything new that day

The mark of development is the acquiring of new knowledge

The only thing that can ensure a better tomorrow is what you learn today

I also addressed the issues I noticed in people who blog in two popular niches here on Steemit which is Cryptocurrency and Photography

So with that addressed, i am going to reveal the goal of this Month of February

The focus of this month is : CONNECT.

This Involves relationships with people who will help you achieve your vision. You have to seek out people who have the thing you need and find ways to bring them value

Merely inboxing them to ask for help won;t likely work because you will most likely not be the only one who are calling them for favours. So you have to stand out by bringing them value first

People will help you get anything you want if you first help them get what they want. The issue we face right now is that no one wants to give, everyone is an expert in the Art of Receiving and no one want to give

When I talk to some people who made only one or two posts and quit Steemit why they did so, they alwasy told me it was because no one commented on their post or upvoted it

When I ask them how many comments they made on the post of others, I always get a blank reply

Connecting also Involves creating Value for people and the best place to do that is in your Blog and by commenting. No matter how you scout for people of value that you can connect with, there are some who you can only get by creating good content

Your content will serve as a gateway that will help you build a relationship with them

WIth that said, who are the people you have been able to connect with on Steemit, whether it was with content or any other way, let us know them in the comments below, I for one love connecting with people of value


Thanks For Reading

Wow!
This is the best post ever. People this days want to be on the receiving side...lemme go straight to the point:
I love leaving comment on people's blog and this has been if help to me lately.... I have been connecting with @eurogee @mimy @ehiboss @hebrew @engrbrain1 @bob-elr @skylineking88 and many others. And I tell you, I have been getting feedbacks from them. F you doubt me ask @ogchukwu (winks) I just connected with him via comment.

Tnx for sharing this wonderful post! I had fun answering your question

Thanks for reading @diamondrich.

I am also glad that you are connecting with others, I know some of the people you mentioned here and I must say that they are good people.

This is great

This is one issue really affecting new members on steemit, I'm a new member and I know it's not gonna be easy to drag people's attention to ur contents but we just have to be persistent with giving it all we have. When I joined steemit my post weren't even getting upvotes at all until my friend that introduced me to steemit told me that I need to be trying to read and comment on people's post, you have to follow first before you can lead and that is exactly what I'm doing. Not everyone is a good writer but I believe if u give it your all you will surely get rewarded sooner or later. Thanks to @Destinysaid he's been of great support for me and that is because I'm giving him something of value, he likes my music and he's a music producer so we both have something of interest. No matter what your value is that you're rendering out you'll surely see someone who will like it and be of support to you. So basically I'm still trying to CONNECT with more people including you @ogochukwu and that's the only way one can grow on steemit. Thanks for enlightening us.

Keep up the amazing work @kingeazi. I have noticed that you are very active with engagement here on Steemit. Keep it up your light will surely shine through

Followed You

Just what was on my mind to discuss, we ought to use steemit as a means of answering somebody's question out there, somewhere. Provide answers to get answers.

The thing is, if you want to receive comments on your posts, you also need to reach out yourself.

You will not get any success if you only post your blog and not comment on other people's blogs. You reap what you sow ;-)

It is a basic principle @daan.

Give and you shall recieve

Boss @ogochukwu

This is another masterpiece by you! You spoke my mind through this piece. I have 15 people I am targeting this year. So far two have already fallen to my side and I enjoying their company already. And I won't rest until I get others to my side too.

Thanks a lot for this post.

You are the main Boss. Kudos for the amazing things you are doing on this platform. Keep it up @eurogee

Ah some interesting food for thought, especially that little bit about giving and receiving.

Especially young steemians might struggle with this since they might only think of their “value” here on steemit in terms of their rewards & influence where as they are likely much more valuable in the skills/content they can offer and bring to the community.

You don’t need to give out steem or sbd to contribute in a meanigful way here (although that can be 1 way).

Rallying support for & bringing attention to a particular motive, or as u mentioned, goal can be just as meaningful and effective for providing support for others who may then (also as u mentioned) be more than willing to assit you back.

Thanks for those Insightful words @jaybird. I will surely feature this your comment in the Blockchain Blogger weekly on Sunday.

No problemo. I believe that it's a topic worth discussing in the community.

Hello @ogochukwu

Anytime on your blog page is another mind exposition class on becoming a better blogger.

The only reason why you have nothing to post is because you did not learn anything new that day.

I think I have fallen victim of that phrase a lot of times! 😣 Thanks for bringing my mind to that.

For this new month on connect, I'm sure it'll be as wonderful as always, because that's also one of the ingredients I guess is lacking on my own blog.

I hope from your page, I'll learn possible ways to spice my page up.

Thanks again bro..
Keep steeming! ☺😉
