Hey, good for you! It's inspiring to see people who have been here for a while making it after putting in the time and effort. I've only been here for around 10 or so days so far and have found that it's quite addictive and I love it, but it's definitely hard getting the visibility early on. I truly believe that if I just stick with it, support others and build positive relationships on here, things will work out well for me too. It definitely takes work but I feel it will be well worth it in the end.
So, good luck in your continued efforts....and....nice dolphin pic too :)
Yes @jen8 It does take some work. I at first was overly excited and wanted to get noticed, but then I slowed down and just did my thing. The most Important of all is making connections and friends on here. Staying active, communicative and consistent, and a year or two from now, and you will be glad you did.
full steem ahead!
Yes, I can relate to being overly excited at first. Looking back on just the first few days, I think I was posting a bit too much. Now I'm starting to slow down a bit and do exactly what you said, just relate to people & make connections rather than thinking I need to put out two or so blog posts every single day. Plus, this is a bit easier/more mellow and I can slow down and just enjoy myself and talk to people more. I'm still going to keep doing blog posts too, but I might just keep the pace a bit slowed down going forward and take more interest in what others are posting and interacting with them that way.
Cheers and steem on!
I figured I would not be alone in being an eager beaver, it is so easy to do when you get started here at first. Glad you have found your groove on here @jen8 !!
full steem ahead!
That's the advice I was given...today is day 1
I would not have believed what has transpired in the last several years myself had I not actually lived them @darkistouch
full steem ahead!
