It's a lot easier to start accumulating Steem Dollars making good comments on trending posts then making a lot of Steem Dollars writing posts, particularly when you don't have a following yet. You can make endless comments without penalty whereas you can only make 4 posts a day before you get a penalty. Many baseball players do quite well hitting singles and doubles with a few home runs. Only a few ball players can consistently hit it out of the park.
Remember make an insightful comment and not just "I agree", etc. Make your comment apply to the person you are replying to and to the main post. By making your comment to one of the top replies you are giving your comment a chance to be seen by a lot of eyes. It's okay to add a GIF to your comment but that your comment is unique and that the GIF is the cherry on the top!
Cheers
