Thanks for your update on the most important part of getting people to stick with steemit. I found it very hard to begin with, but I try my best every day.

I try to write 4 decent posts every day, but just like everyone else some days it does not work for me, so I reduce my posts, and not my quality.

I have recently managed a few chats with some some friends I made on here, through steemit chat, but it can be awkward requesting a chat through a reply to one of their posts, as most of the time we are not online at the same time, but it does work well when you get to manage a nice chat discussing mutual interests.

I love steemit more and more each day, way to go, just keep loving it.
