I have developed a habit of responding to everyone who comments on my posts and replying to my comments. Even the three word replies receive my attention because I promised myself when I first started that I was going to be one of the most interactive individuals on steemit.
I've left some decent comments on many people's posts but about only 10% of them respond. This really hurts because I've put in so much thought and effort in writing that comment so I don't want to make anyone else feel like that.
These are fantastic tips that will grow anyone's account if they aren't too lazy to implement them. I'm sorry if I sound a bit rude but I have seen some appalling behaviour of vote begging lazy commenting that left me in shock. I couldn't believe there were such people here. If they don't love writing than why are they here?
