I have learned today here on steemit that sometimes, one has to take that brave step to interact more within the community by upvoting and engaging with relevant commentary.
I see this as an important first step in pursuit for success on steemit, as I never actually thought of doing this until today. It started this morning getting heavily involved interacting and the results where exceptional.
I got a couple of whales to upvote my post which was a big plus for me, not so much in terms of monetary value but more of getting noticed by this whales.
Interacting in this manner only allowed me a much wider audience and gave me a chance to showcase what I have to offer to the community.
My approach was interacting more with posts, that I considered had value for the community. So, I upvoted, resteemed and try to add a relevant commentary where I could.
One great tip, is to make sure that you read the post content fully first, in order to post a comment that can be seen as relevant and in which case has a higher chance of being upvoted by the author or other users.
Also in my experience today, not all authors will agree with you, which is expected. There maybe many reasons why they may disagree with you, but respect that as well, but try to be clear and concise with your commentary always.
It was a good and rewarding experience today and I encourage minnows to do the same at least for a day and see how it turns out for you as well.
