When i first joined Steemit my initial thoughts were to post high quality content and that in itself should bring its reward, i frequently post insightful writeups on facebook anyway so i figured why not on Steemit. I had been on Steemit for a few weeks, things tickled along at a slow pace, though i had not quite lost my enthusiasm the initial euphora started to wane, i spend a couple of hour writing detailed blogs on Cryptocurrencies only to trickles of upvotes adding up to no more that $0.49, not quite the plan. Then i came across a fella called @Dante31, then things changed.
Dante introduced me to an awful lot of the tricks of the trade, how to use tags for best effect, how to reference sources, he introduced me to the Nigerian Whatsapp group and the discord group etc. Even till now he is my go to guy whenever i have a question and never once has he tried to duck out or "form".

So, big ups to the young fella, props to @Dante31
