Some good ideas. I see so many on here posting just to post, fishing for votes. It feels like they don't put themselves in the consumers chair at any point before they hit that publish button. I post sporadically, knowing most of my content isn't for most people and am okay with that. But when I do write, I always try to connect with those who will be interested. As do you. Your writing comes across as personal, and invites one to know some of you. A nice touch.
Nonameslefttouse mentions often that we have to many writers, not enough consumers and I lean towards that thought myself. In hindsight I can understand more why they placed the rewards at 50/50, in the hopes maybe more would invest so they could consume more.
It's also important to interact with those who not only take the time to view your product, but then leave a comment. I see so many who don't respond, or if they do rarely give an upvote. There is a lot of merit to building bonds with those who do find your posts and appreciate them.
Congrats on not missing a day in the last three months. I've managed eleven and that was pushing it, lol. I do make sure to come on and curate daily, and that alone can be very time consuming.
