This is a post with great suggestions! It has been only 28 days here for me, but, I have learned a lot.
I would add that resteeming is a valuable part of building a good portfolio, just as comments and replies.
If someone has already written a post that I think is worthy of being one of my own, then, instead of trying to top it with a post that is substantially similar, I would comment on it add or disagree when appropriate and then upvote it and resteem it - the same that I am doing with this post.
Thank you!
I am not a bot ... I do more ... <<< please read my post on that.
All the best!

I couldn’t agree more. Infact last month, i wrote a post on this very phenomenon. I highlighted in the post that the trend of resteeming good posts is diminishing and there is an alarming rise of duplicate posts where by people, who come across good posts, try to rewrite it in their own words instead of simply resteeming it.
You are right about how resteem is indeed a valuable part of steemit (and is often neglected unfortunately). However i wanted to keep the focus of the post just on “comments”.
Thank you very much. Your comment certainly added value to this post.. ^_^
I am glad that you read my comments and agreed! In 28 days, I have been able to purchase Steem and Power Up so that my comments and upvotes are making impacts. I am not here to profit from tricks and games even if the rules allow them - use of bots.
I don't like reinventing the wheel and I am **not a jack of all trades - I know what I can contribute and what I cannot.
We all need followers and fans - so, I'll be one first.
It is mesmerising to see that you have so much clarity about your path. When i joined the platform, i was all about fitness and health. Soon i realized that i could write some guides as well to help young steemians get acquainted with the platform..
It is a fact that people join this platform and they do not read steem whitepapers or FAQs and then they struggle with some of the basic concepts of platform that they should have known prior to joining the platform.
Sometimes it is not about re-inventing the wheel. Sometimes it is about giving a refresher course to new comers.
If everyone coming to this platform were familiar with terms & conditions and rules of this platform, then we would not see 80% of the users posting below average content and spam on daily basis.
What people hear on the outside that there is a platform named steemit where you can go and post anything and you will earn. So they come in here and treat it like a money leaking website. And when they fail to get some money, they blame the platform.
Steemit is still in beta phase, there are no more than 100,000 active users on this platform. Educating masses is our top most priority. If we train them the right way now, we will be able to build a better platform for the world. Steemit alone cannot do anything. It is us who have to keep it alive and make it a hub for quality content.
Wow! Thank you! You are too kind! Your 100%+ deserves my 100%.
It is important to see steemit.com as what it truly is - a free ecosystem - almost like but more free than the Wild Wild West of US or any other country before a top down ruler gained control and crested order.
Here, we are "self-regulated', albeit there are civilized standards and expectations to govern our behavior.
In the Wild Wild West, there were scammers, bullies, gangsters, cliques, and so on, so, I am not at all surprised to see parallels to these characteristics in the physical world.
Just as in the Wild Wild West, like-minded people need to stand together for their standards and principles - justice and fairness will surely be attacked or ridiculed.
This is akin to the gold rush. Some (many) were drawn here to "get rich quick" while others are skeptical.
I have already gone through many of the same life experiences - struggles - falls (I do not call them failures), recovery, and successes and have achieved financial freedom once and am now on the tail end of the same 2.0 (long story).
So, I have a lot to share - although after being disappointed by previous one-on-one mentoring over a few previous years, I no longer do one-on-one mentoring but still will:
and, I believe in:
So, I have been going around upvoting and encouraging new steemians and help set an example of a fast track to the top here.
This post has some of the best ideas that I have read!
So, again, your 100%+ deserves mine in return. Perhaps, someone else will also agree?
All the best!
You are absolutely right.. and i commend that you have been rather forthcoming to appreciate new steemians by upvoting them where necessary.
I can’t thank you enough for endorsing this post as a source of great ideas.
Steemit needs more people like you.. ^_^
I am glad that you are here as ^said ^! :-)
