Well, I'm pretty new at Steemit. I only have 30 days old, and I'm still learning a lot.
But from the beginning, from the moment my account was approved, I managed Steemit as what it really is: a social network, where I could share with people and make lots of friends, hence, a lot of engagging by my part, and a lot of commenting.
The end result?
I already have a 47 score of reputation, a whale recently upvoted one of my posts, which has a value of ~100 USD.
Although, believe it or not, those numbers don't mean that much, compared to the large list of friends that I have made during the last 4 weeks: we already chat on Whatsapp, we send texts very frecquently, etc.
For me, it has been a life-turning event: to get into Steemit :)
Welcome and I am glad you are having a good time!
Thanks!
The relationship between the online and offline aspects of steemit is one of the most inteteresting! And difficult to research.
Why it is difficult?
