There doesn't seem to be much point in writing "good article, give me three cents." If you're not going to read the post and comment on something directly from it, don't bother. I believe that it's important to continue to post new content daily and not necessarily to anticipate a monetary reward of note, only to put out a body of work that others can review.

The best approach for a noob is to directly interact with the platform thru comments and make some friends that way. Without an audience, Shakespeare wouldn't do well either.
