- Don't follow the herd. Stand out.
- You're a public figure here, not some random person on facebook with an opinion. Use youtube vloggers as an example. The successful vlogger has an on camera persona. The unsuccesful vlogger is some dude sitting in a computer chair rambling on about nothing.
- Treat your blog like a business.
- Nobody here is entitled to anything. If you want something bad enough, work for it.
- You're not required to follow any set of guidelines, standards and practices. Try to give your audience a unique experience.
- Steemit is a publishing tool. Create content the social networks spread around. You're not limited to the Steemit audience alone. Push your stuff out there.
- Avoid having a public meltdown, no hissy fits. Try to stay out of other people's drama. Be bigger than all of that. Stay focused on you.

These are great suggestions, especially about treating my blog like a business. I think one of the struggles is remaining unique and systematic with my posts and keeping in mind this all takes time! This social media site requires a lot of effort and perhaps that's one of the aspects that makes it so successful. Thanks for commenting! :)
Remember how I said like I feel like I need to treat my blog like I'm a programming director? I still feel that's the best way to approach this. I really don't want to find myself knee jerk posting in desperation to get upvotes. I want to have a planned presentation that is true to my creative process and not worry so much about the upvotes. If the material is good and resonates with people, it should find it's audience.
For sure, definitely finding your niche is really important. Planning for it and actively trying to resonate with people is the hard part!
