Ilyas, this post is money in the pocket! You're saving a lot of time to newcomers, and time is money (specially here on steemit).
This is my second week here and I can say that what you state in this post is what I've experienced so far:
- Is easier and faster to make a comment than to write a post, and both count as posts (75% reward)
- If you don't have many followers, when you comment you are entering straight into the crowd; but when you post you are alone and expect people to magically find you.
I have done some things well and others not so well. I published my first post having just 1 week on steemit (and the introduceyourself post in my 2nd day) and very few followers (actually I think most of them were bots hehe). Maybe I had higher expectations at the beginning, but could quickly realize that it was not so smart and the problem was the lack of followers.
However I think it has performed not so bad: it's in its 5th day, 11 votes and 50 views, earning 0.85 until now (btw people: there is still time to take a look and upvote if you like ;) hehehe).
There are other aspects I consider can influence in posting & commenting success and haven't read here so far; I look forward to share them with you and all the community soon.
I'm keeping reading and learning a lot everyday (going to bed all this week I've been feeling my brain with hyperactivity), and you have been one of my main sources of knowledge... I really appreciate that!
See you around friend, and thanks again :)
