Great post @dobartim. I could not agree more that the key to success on Steemit is interacting with succesful people in the areas that interest you. I have been posting seriously on Steemit for a few weeks now, and while I am a long way off my 2018 goal of 5K STEEM, I have done realtively well by interacting with those whose content I find useful and isnightful. Thanks for sharing!
