Many people are struggling to acquire traction on this platform and reside to writing comments like: "Great post. I upvote you, upvote me too. I follow you, follow me too."

This might work on some platforms but not on Steemit. Your comments here are very similar to a blog post. They can be formatted and both upvoted and downvoted, so creating a sensible comment can help boost your earnings and grow your audience.

When creating a comment, I advise you to keep in mind the tips I mentioned in yesterday's post. Your comments don't need to be as perfect as your blog posts are. It's also ok to keep the formatting to a minimum.

The number of comments you write per day isn't important. It's the meaningful ones that you should be counting.

Practice what you preach

How many comments do I write, then? To be honest, not as many as I would like to. Even though I spend quite the amount of time online, I don't write as many comments as I would like to.

I try to write 2-3 comments per day with at least one being one somebody else's article. I also try to give at least 10 upvotes per day. Please note that these numbers are a rough estimate. They may very well be entirely different.
