Definitely important to get out there and mingle with the crowd! It makes a world of a difference in how you are seen on the platform, or at least it does for me! I take notice and have posted on the topic of whether people spend time responding in kind to the attention received from their posts.
Thanks so much for resteeming too, you know that really helps content creators in the long run because our work is available for others who may not find it!
Hey man, it's all about spreading the Love ( and the Content, more particularly the Content that adds Value to Steemit and is of high quality :) )
You're exactly right, this is a great community for helping one another out and resteeming is one of the ways we can help other authors. I find myself resteeming more and more especially from those posts that have helped me along!
