1. Leave engaging comments. TICK. My comments are all individually tailored and no 2 are similar or same. And right now i've definitely spent more time reading and leaving comments than doing anything else on Steemit.
2. Create quality content. CROSS. I do try to but sometimes i either dunno what to blog about, or when i do blog about it, it's really not that "good quality" yet. But it's ok! I've only been here for a week.. i will keep on improving my blog contents!
3. Steemit when the sun ain't shining. TICK. Totally agree, if you have faith in a project, and the long-term value ($$$), of course you should hold or buy more when the price is low. Go against the mainstream trend is what most successful men do.
4. Bring new friends to Steemit. TICK & CROSS. This is where i really need some advice, even though i have been telling a lot of my friends about Steemit, but maybe my over enthusiasm is a little off-putting sometimes lol and in your opinion, what's the best way to introduce Steemit to someone who has no idea what Bitcoin or blockchain is? Why would they trust something like Steem Dollar?

Last but not least, Dan, I'm so glad that i found your Steemit page and followed. So far all your videos give very solid advice and you certainly deserve a huge success! And i'm going to resteem this post again. :) Thank you thank you!
P.S. Hope i've proven that i'm not a bot. lol
