If you have not dug around on a site like https://steemd.com/@milano1113 it can be rather fun. Sooner or later you might get rather bored and want to join a community and start putting out your own blogs. While there is some amazing open door community out there they are getting abused a lot by people taking advantage of them for their upvotes.
A small closed community that has requirements to get in is where a lot of the fun and friendships get made. Part of Steemit is networking and a very big part in the community. A lot of them look for long-term consistent, quality content, and being a team player.
I have one person who told me they have me bookmarked so they can read my comments. The odd thing is he has only ever upvoted my blogs, not my comments outside of his own blog lol. Outside of the random comment challenge people tend to not invest a lot of time into reading other people’s comments.
While financial rewards are a part of Steemit it’s the community that is the true and most rewarding.
In a year from now, where do you see yourself on Steemit?
Honestly, I don’t know.
I’m realy enjoying it now.
But what is the difference between if I comment on post and resteemit and if you comment on as many posts and don’t resteemit. Most of the time I Resteemed the post I also let the author know and in return they realy appreciate it.
When someone tells me they “resteem” my post I go and look if they left a decent comment. Most of the time they don't and if they did they resteem every dang thing they read that day. There resteem to me is worthless even more so if there comment was low quality as I only upvote certain type of comments.
If you resteem everything you read you will have a hard issue getting someone who is a “hard follow” to follow you. Look at my stats 671 followers; 54 following. With very few exceptions if someone gets spammy in my feed they are out!
I follow so few because I engage a lot with those people. I don’t worry about missing their latest blog because my feed moves at a speed I can almost follow (depending on the day.) I invest a lot of time into the people I follow. From leaving comments, to offering help if I see they are needing/asking it.
When someone comes to my page and they notice I resteem something they sometimes look because I’m rather picky about it. Best thing ever that I know of is I comment on a post and someone with a decent upvote read my comment and like it so he check out my blog. He left me $3 but the person who I had resteem $20 within 30 secs of both votes. There was no other way he would found and upvote that other persons blog lol.
I’m getting realy dizzy now.
I just don’t see anything wrong about resteeming someone’s post that I comment on. Meny times I resteem someone’s post and thanks to this it appears in front of the HOME page.
I got it, you think you are right and I don’t think there is anything wrong about things I do. At the end we follow the same person.
It does not appear on the home page. It appears on your feed and feeds of anyone following you.
I’ll be honest I was going go count how many times today you resteem but after 20 times I gave up counting. IF ANYONE who is following you reads there feed they would unfollow from all your spam. I use to have a few people like you in my feed they made it impossible for me to catch the important blogs I wanted to see so I removed the problem from my feed.
That’s the point I’m trying to make. What value are you adding to someone who they are just a number? Did I go and read any of the blogs you resteem? NO, I never would you resteem everything you leave a comment on.
Here is you can see if I resteem someone else’s post it does appear on home page
This is what the home page of Steemit is https://steemit.com/trending
I was not talking about your blog but I guess you where. Yes its on your blog.
I totaly got your point and perhaps I will reconsider if I resteem in the future less than as of now.
From my side I do want to help everyone I follow and beyond. Steemit is money motivated, but this is not my income, it mostly is my hobby.
Anyway, it was nice to meet you and actualy I started to like you.
If you really want resteem a lot then you might fall under the role of curation. They resteem the best they find in a given topic(s) but not everything. They upvote, comment, and make a daily or weekly post about the best of the best.
They want to gain a following from providing this service. They can sometimes amass a very large powerful following that can bring people in 10-$100+ in upvotes from the community that forms around them.
Here is an example of some of them.

It's a very hard road to go down as it takes a lot of effort, time, and building up a community. Many people try but they often don't get anywhere.
