Think Steemit Feels Like a Ghost Town? Now's Your Time to SHINE!

Hi Friends!

A comment that I've been seeing a lot lately (and agree with) is that Steemit feels like a bit of a ghost town right now. Yes, it's true that engagement is down. In fact Hive account@acidyo just did an awesome post asking people to mention their favorite content creators in the comment section so he could find some new people to follow. It was really fun to look through that list and find some new people I could follow too.

The point I am making in this video though - is that there is an always an upside. When engagement is low - it can be a really great time to break through the noise and shine.

I feel like this happened to me back in February. For those who were here in January - you can't forget the crazy trip to the moon we took. Steem was over $8 and SBD hit $18 at one point. It was a bananza. Everyone and their mother were posting, commenting and engaging on the platform. When the price dropped down to only $2 or $3, people really dropped off the map.

Instead of doing the same, I decided to double down instead. I started posting more content, improving the quality of my content, invested in some better video gear, and spent more time commenting and building community with the people that were also sticking around. I honestly think that this really helped give me momentum on the platform and I think right now feels like another awesome opportunity to do the same.

Of course, I am always an advocate of posting from a place of inspiration - so I'm not saying to just post for the sake of posting. What I am saying, is that if you love making content, or leaving quality comments and feel inspired to do so - right now is a pretty damn cool time to do so.

I always love when conversation pops up in the comments - so I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Ps... I hope you guys enjoy the slightly awkward ending. LOL I've never been good at ending conversations.

Ps #2... Is Steemspiration a word? I feel like it should be...
