Never Underestimate the Financial and Social Benefits of Commenting on Steemit - $346.25 PROOF

Steemit is not just about publishing content but building a community where we communicate, debate and build trust! - At least that is how I look at it.

Dear fellow members,

My recent commenting experience made me write this article. Just a few thoughts I would like share with you on commenting blog posts on Steemit. Let us start with the fact that I am not a very productive person when it comes to writing for many reasons. English is not my native tongue so I need to put a bit more effort playing with the words. Dyslexia does not help either and I am more of a thinker or dreamer hence I am not particularly active unless I feel the vibe, money does not help this either. So I am not writing now for the sake of getting “my post a day” submitted.

My first earning blog post on Steemit was my previous one about STEEM ATMs trying to find new ways to buy STEEM for cash without overcomplicating things. To see the upvotes, the comments and the rewards that the article generated was magical and very inspiring. After that post of mine I had to sort out my ETH/ETC separation and spend some time doing other things as well. I still kept reading blogs, new ideas, upvoting and commenting contents as much as my limited time allowed me. But I have not had a chance to publish any articles so I was very surprised when I found out today that my wallet balance went up! Now I know after I had a look at it that the comment I made 3 days ago generated $346.25! Needless to say that put a very big smile on my face!

At first I did not even want to get involved in a conversation that is all about “whales” and “inequality” and such because I have already seen so many articles and debates about this and I kind of find it boring by now. Anyway, I wanted to make a difference and decided to share my thoughts with the writer this time on this subject. I wanted to make him see Steemit from the other side. Looking at things from another perspective always brings in new light. I am so glad I did it and it is so good to see that commenting is appreciated on Steemit.

Many times I find the comments actually more interesting and engaging than the post itself, especially when you see some intelligent ones. These are the voices of the readers. Less formal communications and debates between the members. Commenting is another way to express your thoughts and also to understand how others think. Of course you will see some trolls and bots but they will hopefully disappear very soon.

Thanks for reading!

Kind regards,
Andrew
