During my Steemit Journey, I read already many Posts on this Plattform. Also, I checked the profiles of others but one number I did not give so much attention. The number in the middle of your profile. Yes, I am talking from the number of Posts.
When I have learned something than it is that engagement is not only important, no this word is not so suitable. Better to say it's indispensable. See and be seen! One major key in this community.
I saw one Steemian who believes in this platform wrote 1000 Post in one week. For the people who don't know what this number means. It's counting everything you are writing here.
Including your comments. Especially your comments. Your important comments. I am now over a month here and haven't make it to 1000 Posts :D.
This is an incredible engagement! For that, it's not a surprise that some Steemians are better seen than others. This is a lot of work they are putting into this site. You can try it out for yourself. Challange yourself.
People who invest, I am not talking about money. No, their time and effort will be rewarded one day. Not immediately, but it will be seen. 
But don't put comments just for the sake that your number in the middle increase. No, make your thoughts and write a meaningful comment for the author and other readers. This is a lot of work.
But if these people can make it then you can also. It depends on how much you want it.
thanks for reading.
