Once you're already confident enough to that you can put out some decent material out there, it's time to start thinking about spreading your name across the space because this is the part where you can sell your personality for people to subscribe in.

NAURR - not in the confident level that I can put some decent material here. Spamming the key more post more chances of winning. I try to maximize my time by reading and commenting instead since my marketing skills isn't that high.

The common idea: Upvotes > Reblogs / Comment
My preference: Reblogs / Engagement > Upvotes

Depending on the interface that I am using my preference differs. Most of the time, I upvote and then comment. Sometimes I just comment w/o leaving an upvote but reblogs is a rare occurance not unless that I find it truly amusing ( Using peakd front-end).

However, if I use Ecency, reblog then upvote and comment so that I can get the points.
