Hi mate, thanks for your kind words...
I don't know if I have many lessons I guess, just write what you're passionate about and are interested in. Write well from a punctuation and spelling perspective and then engage with validity with others. Some throw useless comments all over the place thinking it's engagement however I prefer a few well-placed comments and votes here and there on a user to get their attention and then see how they interact with me. If they do then it moves forward if they don't then I move on.
There's no magic wand I guess but relationships will take a user further I think.
Thanks buddy. Hence I like talking to my Aussie contact, it's nice to get truth from someone you actually enjoy. Few people do, but I like honesty as it help me grow and build real friendships. Hope you guys are sleeping well by now.
