@timcliff, thanks for sharing your thoughts about HF19. I appreciate hearing about what more experienced users think about it.

I really connected with the following idea: "People need to feel the ladder is worth climbing in order to stick around."

On Friday, an influential Steemit user gave me a reason to "stick around." After reading my post, he recommended if for a curator account. Once accepted my post started trending. I had never had a $10 post prior and on Friday I almost reached $300.

His support helped me gain traction and gain new followers. And when I reached out to learn more about what he did, his knowledge empowered me.

I have only been on Steemit for about 6 weeks. I have learned a lot, but there are some many things I need to learn, and I am not even sure what questions to asked at times.

I appreciate your easy-to-understand articles that help all levels of Steemit users. That is one of the reasons why I follow you!
