Commenting is another crucial part for the steem blockchain, it's more like a sophisticated task, but yet, profitable. When we comment on a blog that we like, were simply engaging other steemians. Right in this article i will show you why it is good and how to drop a nice comment on a blog. Let's first of all know what comment is all about.
According to the Oxford Advanced English Dictionary, a

An indirect expression of the views of the writer of a play, book, film, etc

If i may ask, how many blogs do your read a day? And how many comments do you drop after reading a blog. Those who read blogs have power- the power of influence. When you drop a nice comment on an authors blog, you make the writer have a feel good record and this will propel the author to put his best at the next post. Every true writers dream is to make a post and then his comment section will be flooded with useful and interacting comments, not spams like ''Nice post'' ''Great post'' ''Excellent'' materials. Drop a comment like you actually read the post, and also try to leave a question at the end of the post. This will grab the attention of the writer and at the same time you're interacting with other steemians. Incase you don't know, there is power in interacting, good conversations will have other positive benefits.

Benefits of commenting

• Get other users attention
• Increase your reputation
• Attract other steemians to your blog
• Acquire more knowledge from other commenters
• Earn some Steem

1. Get other users attention.
One thing i like about the steem blockchain is that, whatever you sow, you reap also. You want your content to be shared by others, share others own first, want to get more comments on your blog, start leaving useful comments on others blog first. It's as simple as that, the more you constantly engage in other peoples blog, you are attracting other users to your own blog to (this is why you'll need to make good post on your own blog, so when they visit your own blog they won't be disappointed)

2. Increase your reputation.
On the steem block chain reputation is another crucial key. With the help of a proper comment, you will be able to grow your reputation. When ever someone stumbles on your blog your reputation is the first thing they will locate. So by all means strive to grow your reputation. Curating, commenting and posting are what boost are reputation.

3. Attract other steemians to your blog.
Just as i stated earlier, what ever you sow here on steemit you will also reap. So therefore, engage in other steemian post and projects, no matter how little support them, if possible delegate s.p to them. By so doing you are attracting them to your own blog and possibly they might be a whale.

4. Acquire more knowledge from other commenters.
After dropping a comment on an authors blog, take some time out to read other peoples comment, most at times they carry useful information, thoughts, ideas and suggestions you barely know about. Reading their comments will widen your understanding and knowledge, and probably be the answer you have been looking for.

5. Earn some Steem.
Upvoting of comments is another reason why you should make commenting a hobby. After dropping a nice comment on an authors blog if they like the comment they might upvote it. This is why you have to read the post absolutely well before commenting. Nobody upvotes spams like ''great post and all that, rather it get flagged and this will reduce your reputation.

And lastly, I will show you a picture of how to make a proper comment and for contrast a spam comment in the images below.

• A great comment I like

  Here in this comment, you'll see the way he documented his comment and the little rewards he got for just the comment.

• A comment I dislike
  
  image was captured with my android camera
  This kind of comments are know as spam, it shows you did'nt read the post. You can see he did'nt recieve any reward and no one engaged him.
