You sure did receive a high response for your introduction. I just looked it up. And maybe like most others, i i was captivated by the contrast in your academic, and in deed, occupational background against steemit knowledge.
Ideally somebody of your background, and experience of online blogging should have been aware! Conversant!
But of course you weren't!
It is incidentally not an isolate case. There ares still many out there, even tech suvvys who do not yet know the unique opportunity this platform provides. Hopefull we all have some small part to play in making the platform the Go-to.
I agree, one would be predisposed to thinking it is easy, if one received the level of success you had, with your introduction.
Having read your introduction, i can only tell you that you deserved that much attention. The quality, insight and originality of your post is top-drawer (evidence if you had any doubts, that steemit values quality, insightful, thought provoking and original content)
But like you say (i have not read into your blog in detail yet to judge for myself), you probably made too many mistakes, maybe betrayed that originality, that insightfulness, that quality that you were so rewarded for, in your introduction...
The good news is of course now that you are humble enough to admit rather than complain about 'unfairness' as some wrongly come to do. That is a good starting point.
You will certainly survive with genuine, interested thinking. I am following you so we can share i each others's works.
And since you mention it, @swissclive is a great guide for steemians, much owed.
Cheers @letyouread
Later only I realize (I mean to say in Steemit) things never come under control all the times. It's my responsibility to work smart to get things under control. Maybe few of my posts completely went wrong. I know it usually happens in the world of blogging. Trying out new ideas always healthy. But, you will start feeling fed up when failures always knock your doors and this might landing you quit (at least you have to stand strong a time out of 5 try). I hope I will contribute quality steemit posts for the community. And, Thanks for the encouragement and keep in touch.
My pleasure. Thanks
