Some great points made in this.

I upvote anything that I like and also peoples comments on my blog as much as possible.

I try to keep my voting power above 60% so when I do upvote it is at least worth $01.

Getting noticed on Steemit is the same as getting noticed on Youtube/Instagram etc.

Be consistent and provide decent quality article/insights.

Also learn to be patient, too many people quit without really trying and by that I don't mean 3 months.

Just enjoy the process and learn as much as possible and the $ will follow.

Good luck everyone :-)
