Hi @whatamidoing. Thanks for your post. I've only been on steemit for 6 months now. I just advanced to a Minnow. Your advice and suggestions are awesome for new Redfish. And you are correct. If you expect to make lots money if you spend lots of time, then you will be disappointed.
I've a lot yet to learn, but the most important concept that has stuck with me is "engagement". I try to do this each day.
Appreciate your support and encouragement of Redfish. Have a great day.
We are on unique journeys here. I spent a few months streaming full time, but after starting work again it was hard to really get involved. Now I realize I can help newer steemians a lot more than before and right around the time that I became freelance which gives me more time for steem and writing :-). So I want to pay more attention to users with less time on the platform than myself! I hope everyone can keep this attitude.
Hope I can help!
