What you wrote is exactly what attracted me to SteemIt. I’ve committed to write every day and comment generously with real comments... for 30+ days. I’ll evaluate if it feels like what you describe it was at the beginning or not. I hope so.
Are you powering down because you no longer believe in the platform?
Sounds like a good plan @dlew! I'll be interested to read your evaluation after the 30 days is up! Perhaps you could do an interest series... review after 2 months, 3 months, and so on. In my experience/observation it can take several months to really build up a good following by which you can really judge things, but I love the idea. Especially, as you say, if you'll be writing every day and also curating every day too. These two things in balance are key to a successful blog and experience within the community. I had a real quick look at your blog and I'm very interested in what you're writing about... especially the Keto post. Anything to do with diet/health gets lots of attention, and all us health freaks/foodies love reading the experiences of others! More please!
I am following you now, but if when you do your 30 day post you notice I haven't commented, and if you think of it, would you please draw my attention to it? Maybe post a link into one of my comment threads. I follow so many people I miss great posts unless I'm told about them and it's a shame because I'm genuinely interested to find out what happens next! :-) All the best to you!
oh - also, no, I'm not leaving the platform. I have a very low income and and need Steemit earnings to top me up! I'd prefer to build it up but alas, sometimes we have no choice and I have a little boy to feed and clothe!
Good to hear that your staying. I look forward to your posts and especially your comments!
I’m here for both personal and business reasons (long form in my coming intro post) so that’s a great idea to document each month. Plus, I have ideas for improving the platform as it matures and plannon posting those thoughts.
Sounds great! Man with a mission :-) Well, I look forward to seeing what you accomplish in due course... good luck to you @dlew. I for one a behind any positive changes you may be able to bring about!
