"Numbers do not equal influence... It's about engagement"
What's up STACKERS!
Yes, you did read that right... your boy 
There are so many new people coming to the "Steem Blockchain" everyday and I see so many people struggle when first starting out.
They come to the platform all "hyped up" but eventually get let down quickly. You guys need to remember that Steemit is a social media platform that pays in crypto based on influence and engagement. 📊
You see, everyone starts with zero influence when joining just like I did. So what makes people more "popular" than others, is it just content? Absolutely Not.
There are many difference ways to "standout" from the rest, some will do it right but most will fail because they "just don't get it". 🙇🏼
So Charles, how do you get influence? 🤷🏼♂️
It's very simple but not easy to do just like anything in real life. There are many ways to get influence on "Social Media" but the most important things on Steemit to get influence is to start buying Steem, creating content, commenting, making tons of friends, finding ways to provide value to the platform and especially engagement with the community.
I can go on and on what to do but it's really your responsibility to become a "Social Butterfly" if you want people to get to know who you are and start pounding that upvote button. 🤣
It's been a great journey so far and I've made so many "new internet friends" on here, all I can it's been freaking awesome.
Remember, we are just getting started and I see huge growth and potential on the Steem blockchain. It's just going to grow bigger and bigger everyday. 📈
If you think it's too "noisy" right now to get known on Steemit, wait until 2019 when there will be 10X more people here and 100 times harder... so in other words, get started now and start making new friends. 👨👩👦👦
With that being said, I hope this helps many of you guys out. Engagement is very important when building a following. It takes lots of work but at the end of the day, it will be well worth it.
Keep On STACKIN! 💞
