RE: The Secret To Success On Steemit: It Isn't Posting Article or Re-Steeming (For Dolphins And Minnows)
I must agree with your views on this. I find for myself that I LOVE the interaction that I get on posts. I get more value out of that then the upvotes. With that said, it has equated to more upvotes, traffic, awareness and friendships.
As with anything in life, how we interact with people results in prosperity for those involved. People notice those who engage, ask meaningful questions, are respectful and genuine. It is difficult to express our feelings through an interface such as this, which makes face-to-face interaction the most meaningful. However, by spending time to articulate how we feel and what we think can make an emotional connection to others which helps build the bonds we need to be successful on any social media platform.
Our capacity to connect with others is where the importance rests. Our willingness to give and help others also works very well too. I know my own success took a shot upwards when I started being way more generous with my steem, time and words.
I think your views here are accurate. Thank you for articulating the ideas to help others.
As always thank you for your imput @wwf.
Interaction is the key for this entire platform. Commenting is one of the ways that we not only read what someone took the time to write, even a comment, but also that we appreciate it.
So many seem to think it is about them...when it is us. Communication is a two way street.
On Steemit.com, givers get....
Indeed. This platform functions on the prosperity model rather than scarcity model. We have had conversations about that in the past. The more we 'give' the more we 'get'. But if we are looking to receive, it won't come nearly as quickly or abundantly. This platform helps teach this paradigm shift which we can then bring into our lives in other areas.
This is a microcosm of life itself...as above so below.
Starting to conduct ourselves on a higher level on here is good practice for us to apply it to other areas. When we think of others, we set the natural laws of the universe into action....
The way the world has operated thus far is ass backwards....
