I love your three suggestions when developing and writing content.
Adding value to your work should also cross over to commenting. If you are making a comment on someone else's work, make sure to add to the discussion. So important and can help start a conversation.
I totally agree, I'm also starting to regain my focus on my work for a wider audience, and stop focusing so much on the steemit eco-system, building value for the interwebs! That, in the long run, is how we build value in steemit as a platform.
When I started on steemit, my main focus was gardening and homesteading; since that day last July, I have found myself doing a lot curating (I am an an avid reader, journalist in a previous lifetime and love to learn new things) and in between the gardening/homesteading posts, I'll toss in some general steemit topics that I am learning about and a few challenges for good measure. It's good to be versatile and prolific on this platform.
I agree, I'm working on developing an alter ego for some of my more political bents. LOL I'll be happy to resteem any steemit tutorials on @dolphinschool if you write any. You can let me know on discord if you have something. I'd say I'll just read your blog,but I know I won't read everything you write,or anyone else, heck, half the time I barely read my own before I post it! LOL Man, this place has grown!
Maybe I'll join the Discord group for support for you-
Cool, I saw you in there, sorry, I was cooking breakfast. Be nice to have a few seasoned hands. although, a lot of the former bootcamp students hang out there and help a lot. Good group.
