RE: How Steemit Can Improve Your Efforts To Communicate
Hi Hank,
Nice to see you on here. I think your 3 points about communication are the ideal. I would like to think that we can achieve that, but in my first 24 hours here, I've already seen that this space is just as prone to mudslinging as any other public venue. I read for half an hour the comments under one post where members discussed the difference between fair use and commercial use of copyrighted material. I didn't get all the way to the bottom. A lot of people either don't understand was is fair and legal or they just don't care. Let's hope that as time goes by, rules of conduct are put in place that will indeed help us communicate respectfully and effectively with each other.
I wish you well in your steemit journey and hope that this becomes for you a way to support your family.

Discovered the book (You Write, They Pay) on your Facebook page and bought the Kindle version today. Looks like a good direction for me to take right away, with my prior experience in publishing/writing as a working foundation.
Cheers! (Time to get reading and implementing!)
Sharon, thanks for your input!
Views on fair and commercial use of copyrighted material are like opinions about what is or isn't "legal" without reading the actual statutes or law books.
Sad to say we live in an imperfect, superficial yet highly opinionated world. Hoping you're right about time healing such miscommunications.
Meanwhile, I'm not banking on just one site or avenue to gain financial traction, preferring to keep my "eggs" in diverse "baskets" one or more of which will hopefully soon result in a return of my time/effort invested.
Best regards, Hank
