Hi
I understand what your saying. It can be very hard to get started on Steemit, get recognized, get feedback on your writing and of course earn some Steem. I would like to be a resource to help Steemians learn to fish.
I have written several posts on making Steem on Steem using Dustsweeper, Steem Basic Income, Commenting and also discussed some of the Pros and Cons of Bots. I am trying to share the things that earned me Steem and attracted followers and upvotes. I will review and repost some of these posts soon.
