You forgot to mention a catchy title. In most examples of blogs of this type. You get a click bait title/image and very little useful information.
Your post on the other hand hits the key point. You must engage fully to get full engagement.
That is why it is important to me, to only follow people that I know or those that I find on steemit who produce interesting work.
I don't care if they are a whale or a minnow. Interesting content is what I am searching for, as are you too no doubt.
The occasional flaky/funny post is always welcome too. We are human after all...well most of us? lol
It's pretty sad to see all those begging comments, 'follow me here follow me there'. If you check out there work it is usually just copied and pasted from somewhere on the web. Pathetic really.
The other thing that is a red flag to me and probably you too, is when I see someone who has followed 1,000's+ of people and has a fraction of followers?
Why do they do this is a mystery...well not really. lol
Good post well executed. I'll give it a resteem to deter spammers from dumping their crap comments on my blog as you saved me having to write it. Thanks.
I'll give it an upvote when I get a bit of juice worthy of this.
Crap mate, can i steal this to make another post! Hehehehehe you are full of correct and true engagement my friend, I just followed you because of that! I will definitely be around on your posts my friend.
And yeah, I tend to put catchy titles also, I declare myself guilty of that hehehe
Of course! I have even seen people following 17,000 people. If I am following them i unfollow in that second.
Thanks for the resteeem mate!
My pleasure @anomadsoul There is nothing wrong with catchy titles as long as it has something worthwhile behind it. Click bait just ruins reputations and on steemit that really matters.
