Hi Steemians
I am really happy these days, because I dont get the classic comments "plz upvote" or "plz follow" anymore. And I feel really sad that many users didnt realize the meaning of the reputation score beside their usernames. They are still doing the same mistakes while loosing their reputation.
They think that profit lies only on their writings. They try to write nice posts or share some photos and wait for the reward. There is a big reward in writing comments. Some users can earn 20$ with writing one good comment.
I will tell you about my own experience. In my first month I started using Steepshot upvoting and commenting on different photos. One day I came across a Nigerian Wedding photo. It caught my attention and had to write a comment. Seriously I wasnt expecting any reward, because I was new on the platform etc.. I wrote in the comment how much I loved the clothes and the colors. Maybe 3 or 4 lines! After some seconds about 14 users upvoted my comment to 2.50$ I was really surprised and yes very happy.
So as I always say "Steemit is full of surprises" :) So take your time and read every post. Write a good comment and tell the author your opinion regarding what he shared. If you dont like a post or not understand the topic, move to the next one. Find your favorite categories and follow users that you like their posts. You can leave many comments everyday and get rewarded for your work. All depends on the way you comment on a post and add a new perspective to it. Dont be frustrated, because your posts are not getting any upvotes. Everything takes time!

Yes... I remember the first time I earned $1 each on two different comments I wrote on the same day! Comments are really earners. Good ones, that is.
And you're right... spam has reduced a lot! Wonder why that is?
Many people are flagging Spammers now a days and they are loosing their reputation. Many users ignore them too and I think they understood what they are doing wrong.
Thanks for encouraging us to continue, that's why I think Steemit is going to get very far because here we all learn to support each other.
Excellent advice and very true. Although I've been here for only two months, but I've been trying to have this balance between doing posts and exploring other posts to find value from other authors and express myself when I find such value in commenting. One thing I really like about doing good comments, is that over time it does strengthen relationships and builds up the reputation organically. I also find a great enjoyment getting to know people and what they share.
So true :) I was a silent reader newbie for a good month, still slowly getting accommodated and just today I made my first post because I finally got inspired by one comment. My decision of writting posts or comments was on a intense limbo for a whole day. When I wrote my first comment I was instantly lifted. As I read this post and discution underneith I finally feel liberated :) Ok, so its more than OK to do both.
Well done. Keep moving forward with a target for both posts and comments. Make sure you commit to this goal every day to start enjoying seeing yourself grow in all aspects on Steemit.
@nuridin It is absolutely true. You build a strong relationship with every user here through comments. You get noticed and they will visit your posts and upvote. I am glad that you found your way on this platform :)
@wavelane I read your first blog and you got an upvote from me. I can say you did well! Some users get some cents in the first post. Now you can build up your reputation with new posts and comments :) Upvote different posts everyday and they will upvote your posts too.
You can write blogs about Art and Crafts and have your own niche. There are no limits here. Write up to 4 or 5 blogs in the day.
I'll do my best :) Thank you
I totally agree with you !
It's not about the money all the time. It can be very interesting to read about experiences and travels of other all around the world. On Steemit you are able to comment things you like, have interessting discussions and much more.. I personally think, if you are here just(!) to make money, you will fail. You doing a lot of stuff and earning like 1 cent. After a while you'll be annoyed and quit anyway. Thats a total time waist. Be here to have fun, read articles and have a great time. Earning money is a nice side-effect !
Greetings
Thats absolutely right and thats the reason why many users give up very early :(
Recently, like two weeks ago. i just learnt about the benefits of making good comments on post and i can attest to it that it has been really helpful. I've benefitted so much from it in those two weeks.
Also, another lovely way to generate money on steemit is through participating in contest.
Thats true. Contests can help you to be visible in steemit and also to earn a bit!
Yes!
Hi @hanen Thank you for sharing your advice. It enlightens me and start not only to focus on my posts. No matter how hard I'm trying to make my posts attractive to everyone I know can't please anybody and and I can't get upvotes easily. After reading your post here, I've realize that steemit is not about getting many upvotes or earning a lot of steem dollars. It's about how you express your thoughts and share it to anybody who joined this platform. Thank you and more power.
best regards,
@azilana01
As a newbie it is very difficult even if you spend 5 hours to write a long posts. Work on the comments and participate in different contests. Join also different Discord Channels to make new friends. It will take some time, but never give up!
Thank you so much. You're such an inspiration. :)
Good advice, your friend, I'll do what you tell us. There is the strategy, to grow in everything.
I have thought that with you, but what can be made, users who have a high level already want to vote a small account like I have
Thats why commenting on other posts can help you earn a bit and build your reputation. People upvote your comments and dont really care about your account value.
Good advise , and some days are just slow with no followers up-voting. Tomorrow is another day.
Thats true. For me it is Wednesday! I feel that nobody is online and a very slow day :)
You're right ma.
I've been on STEEMIT since Aug 2017.
I am writing and being patient..
With God's help and consistency nothing is beyond our reach.
Keep trying and see what works for you. Commenting can help you at the beginning to build your reputation.
actually, 1$ will make us very happy, if the post/comment is really about what we like or what we love. steemit not only talks about money, but what works that you share here.
Thats absolutely true!
Lovely! Thanks for sharing! I really like writing comments. It's like spelling. With each word being a spell you are making someones day. Will you encourage others to do what they love or will you beg for upvote is your choice. Make it now. Have a voice!
Have wonderful experiences arise with every word you say! Today is a great day!
With love, @spellmaker
Very well said :)
Ben hiç mutlu değilim

I have been on steemit for about 2 weeks now. Initially, didn't give it much time. But now I'm actually trying to get involved, read posts, comment if I find them interesting and/or useful, and genuinely connect with people. Just came across yours. Following you for more :)
Thank you dear! I hope that you find them useful :)
You're most welcome :) I'm certain I will :)

Thanks for your advice! I love that second photo! Amazing work! :-D
I am glad you like it :)
Although I do post a lot, I am indeed reading and commenting a lot more cause there is so many good content on steemit, and it makes Steemit so much more interactive.. It is not only posting and waiting, that's for sure. Thank you for the explanation.. Have a nice evening..
Keep up the good work! Thank you :)
This post has received gratitude of 4.58 % from @appreciator thanks to: @hanen.
Bagus sekali ilmu yg saya dapat karena saya baru sebulan masih ragu-ragu dalam menulis komentar dan setelah saya membaca masukan anda membuat saya berani utk menulis komentar ini trimakasih ilmu yg anda bagikan
:)
Nice post hanen 👍👍👍👍
Thank you :)
Good evening friend, I very much agree with you, it is true sometimes we care because we support each other, but we do not make good comments to support auqellos authors who really strive to give us a good written material. Greetings from Venezuela. I am already very aware of your publications, they are very interesting ...
Thank you Dear and welcome to Steemit :)
Writing and Commenting are the same thing. Creating Content :)
Absolutely!
I didn’t realise that your reputation score was also tied to comments or that it improves the chances of getting upvotes for your posts. As a newbie I’ve mainly concentrated on writing posts and upvoting posts that I find interesting. After reading this I’m going to start leaving more comments. I guess it’s also a good way of interacting with people on Steemit as well. Thanks for the info Hanen
Comments are more important than writing posts for Newbies :)
