There is excellence written all over this post. . With all these common courtesies minnows like me are sure to catch on fast; soon you will receive the up votes and engagement you deserve. To me it is already remarkably useful to comment on quality posts of relevant authors which I find interesting . You build a relationship with the author and occasionally get up votes too.
I hope this post will motivate minnows to put more effort and to make out something good on steemit, thanks for this awesome educating post!
Building relationships- exactly. That is precisely what Steemit is about :)
