Thank you @naseerbhat! I do know many tips and tricks for being successful on Steemit, as I have put in quite a lot of time and energy over the last 10 months on here. I might make some posts in the near future for newbies, because it can save quite a bit of effort to get advice from someone who knows the ropes.
Ultimately, I think it all comes down to being an honorable person and adding value to the community . We're building something way superior to facebook here!
