I usually just write a post and share it with minimal promotion. I do sometimes share a link on discord or tell some friends about it though.

Also to help try to grow my follower base, I try to make well thought out comments for others' posts. I figure if someone appreciates the comment, they might follow me. And it helps promote conversation, which is at the heart of steemit right?

I don't usually tag a user or a group in my posts, so I don't get extra attention here. Is it ok to do? I thought it was a little taboo.
