If u ask me the platform that is so challenging, I will definitely give Steemit.
You publish a post on this platform, get 5 upvotes, and give up. You publish an article, get 30 views, and give up. Then, you look at some people that already have voice here and ask yourself how the hell they are doing it. Some people say, it is passion, authenticity, originality, edge, humor, humility. I say, first and foremost, it is persistence.
Other platforms have been to has been so easy,
But over here it's been a rocky journey.
My first post was 50 views after two weeks,
That's so crazy although I dont need the metrics.
The power of engagement here seems to be concentrated,
So if u must break in, u have to be updated.
I found it hard and laid low for some days,
Hoping I will get ahead in my own way.
To be heard, u cant stand at your own door, But If u come around, it becomes difficult to ignore.
Learn to show some respect because as a newbie you are just a learner.
Thank you @surpassinggoogle for giving someone like me the reason to be here because you're giving us additional voice which makes the journey much more easier. You're a great motivator.
