I honestly think that it doesn't matter if you decide to go into a niche or not. However, I do believe that people actually gravitate to those authors that actually post something that they can relate to.
Basically, anything about your experiences, anything happening about Steemit and Steem. To get that genuine engagement people need to feel invested in what you are writing in your post, I believe.
My articles that have had that genuine engagement have been those 'How to' articles, motivational articles and stories about my life.
I agree with you completely @deniskj!!! I love that attitude and any time you want to hang out with #newbieresteemday people we could use someone that "gets it" like you :)
Even though you aren't a newbie, you get 2 newbie nickels for the awesome comments!!! ;)
Thank you for the nice gift. I am always ready to help newbies in any way I can. Like you said, I am not really a newbie but my SP says otherwise. I hope to do better in the future.
