Hey calamus, this is the perfect post for where I'm at in my first week on Steemit.
As a n00b in my first week, I want to get my content in front of a wider audience. I know my niche and I know I can add value to their stream if they can just find my content.
I've therefore been trying to work out whether I should be engaging with content that is new but I think has potential, or already established and trending.
Your advice is that I should persist with upvoting and engaging on content that I perceive to be undervalued while still new?
It depends if you're a content creator, a curator or an investor. All have different goals.
When your STEEM POWER is under 100 it doesn't really matter how your spend it. In general just do what you think is right.
Well I guess I'm thinking in terms of how I can grow on the site myself and get my content in front of more people, rather than how to improve my curation quality as such.
Although I'm sure these two go hand in hand?
Nope they're totally different. As an author you need followers. A good way to get followers is comment a lot and make friends.
