Hello Pals
Greeting from the commercial city of Lagos, Nigeria.
Thanks to my very good friend, 
In the past few months on steemit, I've seen newbies or even old steemit still struggle to remain active on the steem(it) blockchain. This has given me consign and lead to me dropping a post about The Role Of Commenting On Steemit some time past.
Two important factors to grow and remain active on steemit is by posting and replying to comments, Interaction is the key to staying on steemit not earning.
Post, Post and Post!
Your steemit blog is a representation of who you are, It tells the world about your mind and level of exposure. People don't just follow you for following sake, they follow you when they have seen your content, believe in it and expect to see more.
You cannot make great success by just staying inactive, when people see your comment or hears about you, the first thing they do is to visit your blog to read your post. Your post tells more about you and this fetch you follower and rewards on the long run.
You can post on different topic or you can build a niche which people will know you for, your post is your signature on the steem(it) blockchain. Quality blogs attract quality follower and upvotes, but this might not come instantly, but consistency is the key. As long as you remain consistent in posting you will definitely earn reward some day.
Warning;
Post, post and post doesn't mean you should drop irrelevant posts, or low quality posts. It doesn't mean multiple posts for multiple earnings.
It means you remaining active and making an impact here, therefore quality is very important to go with. One quality post is better than a thousand low rating posts, you must remember that your blog represent who you are.
Reply To Comments
The importance of commenting was outlined here in this post of mine The Role Of Commenting On Steemit . But comments are meant to be interactive, you must learn the habit of replying your comments, not just on your own blogs but on others blog where you commented.
Steemit is fun, even beyond the earnings, its a great place to share ideas and interact, it is a place to meet great mind. Replying comment make your blog more real to both you and readers, it create room for communication of ideas, it create room for opinions that may count and be of help now or in the future.
Replying to comment create more clarity to our posts, it brings the audience to your level. Sometimes readers don't fully understand our posts or the idea behind it, our reply to their comments brings to them the clarity they desire and this leaves us on the same page.
Comment session are meant to be interactive, it is a place to make friends, friends are made from communication, there are never friends without communication. Communication is what leads to friendship and this can be achieved through comments. I have made a tonne of friends just by commenting and replying comments.
Replying comments makes steemit interesting even when earnings are low, you get to see and know the impact your post is making. You get to see people coming back and commenting on all your posts, this serve as encouragement to keep you going.
Develop a consistent posting habit and reply all comments.
