I completely understand where you're comin' from @skinnythames, we write and post and expect results after hours of writing and formatting, and the guy with the backyard Wildflower/insect post ( that took all if five minutes and virtually no thought) gets $5, while a worthwhile article sits alone without views. I have to agree with @ajain, but this is a far cry from FB (which was possibly the worst high school I've ever been to lol). The population here IS actually quite supportive, but finding "good support" (aka...Whales) to upvote or reply is a bit of a "process". Sooo... Keep on posting y'all ... That's what we're here for 😉
Upvoted/resteemed/following
PS.. Cute pic indeed
Part of my frustration was due to not undertanding how the steem power works now that i know that it makes sence. Alot of the followers i had in the beginning that id talk to were fairly new as well none of us really had any steem power. To get where i want to be i unclderstand now its not a whale i want its like minded people that share interests that are going to be around for awhile. I want friends with steem power and input and i feel like im well on my way @symbiotic i appreciate the compliment on the pic, when i post i find that my son and his dog will always be the cutest its way better then using a google image atleast my posts and my pics will be original
Just "Connect" with people... Like you said, "Like-minded", and always be You. In the end, it's not what you say that people will remember, it's how you made them feel. Spread the Love and Blog on fellow Steemian!😊
Good words my friend thank you
