If your content is good, people will come to you.
Your post is really good! This is what happened.
I upvoted you 100 % (my first 100 % vote on another person's post for a while).
I followed you.
Your post was immediately resteemed.
I am closing in on 2000 followers in my seven months on Steemit. I have never begged anyone to follow me because I let my content speak for me. Urging people to follow (especially to newbies because I create educational content which they can benefit from) is another thing. I don't have to do that either because, again, my content speaks for itself.
Lastly, a wonderful, wonderful post! I use wonderful twice because when a footballer scores a spectacular goal, the presenter guy does it twice too.
Pleasure to find a gem like you!
You are making it true. Cool
That's very kind! And thank you very much! Your resteem seems to have reinvigorated my comments section! I imagine it will be a slow burn with these articles, and they are a bit more superficial than a lot of my previous blogs, but that's the point. Believe it or not, they take almost as much time to write, with finding/making memes for each point, but after scouring through my book-length posts, I realized that as fun as that is that no one was reading them, and that I was surely turning off newbies. I love a good philosophical argument as much as anyone, but new arrivals are just trying to get a grasp on the website. It will be a while before they are launching into in-depth content. My goal then is to get them excited about Steemit by providing a BuzzFeed style post that they may be used to. Steemit is so different than Facebook, and basically most of the other social media sites. Unless the person who comes here is an avid Reddit or Wordpress aficionado, they will probably be overwhelmed by Steemit and maybe enough so to not keep posting! We need people to stick around to make this work. If my daily blogs/videos can help do that even a little bit, then I am willing to keep putting a good effort in.
