Finally, quality comments mean MONEY. This is crucial to understand.
I have no statistics to back this up, but I’d be willing to bet that there are at least some Steemians who make more from their comments than they do from their posts.
A few months after I joined, a comment of mine got a $17 upvote from a whale which probably equaled what I’d gotten from all of my posts that month combined.
$17? Damn @preparedwombat....that is killing it. I imagine you were a happy camper with that one.
I hope it was recent, that would really swell the return with SBDs paying over 3 steem.
Are you surprised an article that mentioned the merits of commenting doesnt have any more comments than usual?
It was maybe four or five months ago. SBD might have even been below a buck. 😁
Patience Grasshopper, patience.
You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. Leading by example is the way we influence others. ;) By being prosperous with the comments, people will see the results. I had a party with my clan yesterday and we talked a lot about Steemit. One of my clan members actually opened an account almost a year ago but did nothing with it. Now that they have seen the results, I suspect a good part of my clan will become active in short order.
Thank you for your efforts in bring this to others.....
I, too, mentioned it to others yet did not have success interesting them in it. Perhaps I should re-visit it with them while sharing my results.
Thanks as always for your input and interaction.
Very true @preparedwombat ... I remember getting a $12 upvote on one of my comments from @blocktrades... I hadn't even made $12 on Steemit yet
