A proper example can be a powerful thing!
For this week's #minnowsmatter Monday, I'll be doing a special feature to spotlight one minnow who I believe is doing it right! Good examples can be a great thing to check out, so in case you're not familiar with 
WHY @JANTON?
@Janton only joined our community back in February of this year. In that time, he's made almost 7000 posts and comments and gained almost 400 followers. His total account value of almost $200 USD may not be all that impressive, but it's more than most people will EVER make on Facebook, Twitter, etc, plus, it took a lot of effort to reach that amount. Also,
INTERACTION
In my mind, this is what really makes
Since the upvotes given out by minnows do not amount to much, the best thing that a lot of you can give other steemians is real, honest, encouraging comments. Time and time again I've checked minnows out based upon their comments alone, and a lot of them weren't even on my posts!
REAL INTERACTION
Yes, the last section was "INTERACTION" and this one is "REAL INTERACTION," and trust me, there is a difference. You see, for the most part, we all interact pretty well with others. However, there is another layer of interacting that few steemians seem to be really good at, and
If I look at three of the recent posts made by

IMPACTING OTHERS
You may think that tiny minnows can't really impact others very much, but you'd be surprised. Just like this post, where 
Here is another example of a great steemian who is creating awesome content and generating tons of engagement. He has actually been #1 on the Curation and Engagement Leagues list for 5 weeks in a row. He typically writes content with a western theme, and his comments are always thoughtful and engaging.
In one of his latest posts is Queen of the Cowtowns - Dodge City, he does an amazing job of relating his love for the old west and history. Mingling great photos and a bit of humor in so you don’t realize you are actually learning something about history and @janton at the same time. His posts are always a joy to read and remind me of my childhood summers I spent with my grandparents in Texas. - As posted by
Have you met this guy?? He is everywhere, so there’s a good chance you have. But, if somehow you haven’t, you should really meet him! This friendly Texan loves to chat and has a great sense of humor! He doesn’t just go around making general comments. You know he has read your post and wants to engage in conversation.
According to the post, in the last seven days this guy has made 1,085 comments and has received 890 comments on his posts. That is crazy! - As posted by
Influence, good or bad, LOL; would have to be @janton, because we talk a lot. :) I have fun taking to him, he is a Mess! We end up in some weird places sometimes, but it is a good time! And he comments; a LOT, LOL! Good people, BUT don't tell him I said so.... As commented by
