Next is commenting. Similar to comments on most other social media sites, you'll be able to share your thoughts on others' posts or your own by typing out text responses below any blog or previous comment.

Recently I came to the conclusion that commenting is 10x more important than publishing an article every day.

I came to that conclusion because barely anyone looks through the Steemit feed to find content (I have done that maybe 5x in 6 months).

And if someone looks through the Steemit feed then only through the trending section so almost all posts in the "New" or "Hot" section gain no views.

And it doesn't matter if you have 1 or 2000 followers. If the people do not know your name they will simply not look you up.

Jerrybanfield for example can afford to only post and not comment because he is known and got many followers (currently 35000).

But if you are someone that is not known, that does not reach the trending section without bots and without many followers then you will not gain new followers.

So what can you do? You start commenting on blogs and write great valuable comments to get your name out there.

Participating in Podcasts is also a good way to get your name out there
