Yeah...i totally concur with what you have said.
A quotable quote says
no pain, no gain
No cross, no crown.
At first when i joined steemit, i thought it was a tree where one could just come and pluck money in dollars without hardwork and then go to relax. Little did i know that it requires wisdom, patience, perseverance, optimism, diligence and above all been able to socialize with people through reasonable post engagement.
At first i started asking myself how do i get people to know me and follow me up, how do i make myself relevant, how do i make people know that a newbie has just arrived? Really it was a serious task for me.
I began with reading people's articles and making reasonable comment that are relevant to the subject matter, i started with upvoting comments and alot of them. Even though it was not really big, i just had to do it, and i must say it really helped. It was tasky yet rewarding.

Well, i have come to disagree with the saying because in steemit, if you dont learn the rules, the person will learn it the hard way and obviously it is through flagging.

Technical analysis! The yardstick for less risk involvement.
I've only been on steemit for a few weeks but I've come to the realization that the key is to somewhat forget about the financial gains and focus on the engagement with others.
Concentrate on exchanging useful information with others and come what may.
If I get to pass on some useful knowledge or new constructive experiences with others then all the hours spent on writing those posts weren't spent in vain.
I can't understand those who advise to post very frequently. Its only driven by a thirst to make money as quickly as possible. How could this be beneficial to a community or oneself?
Original content and insightfulness is what would make steemit a truly different place on the internet.
Well said.@irelandscape
