I found your blog after being seeing one of your thoughtfull and interesting comments, I did no regret pressing that followbutton. Thank you for giving solid content about interesting stuff (to me)
I think you hit the nail on the head concerning the grind, you HAVE to do something that seperates you from the rest of the minnows, "follow 4 follow" wont do that.
When I joined steemit I had a original goal of writing once a day, that has not been the case as I realised it better to write nothing that to post something stupid that gets 1 upvote from myself and 3 from other minnows looking for free curation awards.
Looking forward to more quality posts!
Thanks for the kind words! I'm still trying to do one a day...even if it doesn't result in immediate dollars, I hope it helps in building followers.
