Thank you for sharing @lucygarrod. I thought I was doing this and things seem to hit a brick wall recently. I've been involved for the past couple of weeks with @newbieresteemday and @greetersguild to comment and work with the lower end of the community to help build them up which, should help build me up in the process.
I spend more time commenting and upvoting than posting, but when I post I make sure it's genuine (from my heart and passion) Since I've started in Dec I'm averaging $0.50/week if I'm lucky. I know it's focus and determination, which I have. Just a little frustration with the plateau I'm currently on.
Hey @tryskele I think it is all about balancing your contribution i.e upvote, comment, post and resteem. I try to mingle with other users whom I consider my friends on the platform (alot of them upvoted this post) whilst making new friends. I always upvote a post before I comment because I generally only interact with posts I like and it is a very good way to show my appreciation. People can see who upvotes their posts and are more likely to return the favour. I also take the time to go and check out my new and old friends blogs regularly, I ensure that I upvote and comment on their posts and when I think it will help, I also resteem their posts. I don't worry too much about building a following as I think this will just happen in its own time and having quality followers is more important than quantity.
These are all little gestures but they go a long way on the platform. I will certainly come and checkout your blog and see if I can make a positive contribution to your success :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my little post. I truly appreciate it!
Thanks :) I didn't think of upvote first. I have started making sure I do upvote when I comment. Occasionally I do miss a vote. If I feel the need to comment then, yes I should upvote it. It does show the appreciation for the content.
@lucygarrod ...THANK YOU :)
