Thanks for summing up so many aspects of using Steemit. I'm just 3 weeks old here and have so much to learn. I love the platform and writing posts on a variety of topics, but I realize that focusing on one or two topics is probably a better strategy than my scattershot approach! Thanks for all of the links and tips.
Full STEEM ahead!!
Yes, I'm having to get my focus on when it comes to topics. The more you have a web of relationships within a few related topics, the quicker you'll gain a dedicated following on here. That's crucial unless you want to be paying bots indefinitely for anyone to see your posts. If you are scattered in your topics, you could wind up with no more than 10% of your followers ever liking what you post. Over time some will unfollow you and others will just get used to ignoring your posts as irrelevant to them. But if you have 3 topics that have some overlap in who they appeal to, you may keep followers and keep adding more. And ones who actually enjoy interacting with your content!
