Minnowbooster is one of the few services that is actually good for the community. I've used it couple of times, however never for buying up-votes.

I've read all of your recent articles here on Steemit. They are very good. Like, I thought most of the stuff you write about is obvious, but only after I actually read it. I have just one question. How did you go from this: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@digitaldreamer/hello-steemit
to a post such as this one ? Or better yet this one: https://steemit.com/steemit/@digitaldreamer/how-to-come-up-with-ideas-for-your-next-steemit-post
All of that, in just a few weeks. I get that you had experience from journalism, but man, that is one heck of a progress learning steemit so fast. Kudos to you.
