When I started 7 years ago, no power no network, no community.. I thought it was my content issue because I'm not a writer and I didn't have a unique experience either. But, I read and commented more than I posted. Slowly, the community spotted my existence and they were supporting me through comments and votes. Because commenting is also a post, so I did that😁
Only a few close friends would really read a post, but your comment on others? They'll read.. my power now mostly delegated to a few curators. I don't mind if they don't vote for my post, all I need to do is read and comment on theirs then they'll find a way to mine.
We have so many different communities to join. Have you ever known about silver-bloggers? Many people there are quite a chatty 😁
