I LOVED this post! Not only was it well written and informative (I also love the layout, which make everything extra-readable and professional looking) but what you said is so true!

Case and point - I met you through Steem.chat. If you hadn't been so engaging there (especially so helpful on my first day), I wouldn't have been intrigued to visit your page.

Now, I don't just follow you, but engage in your posts as well. You have such a wide variety of content, there really is something for everyone to enjoy, laugh, or learn about. And I would never have found you if you hadn't been so social, helpful or engaging.

Being engaging and commenting on a post you enjoy is also a good way to show other readers what you're all about and help them learn more about you.
So even if you're not ready for your first blog post or to write follow-ups, you may find your follower numbers go up, by those who enjoy the quality of your comments (rather than those just following for a follow back).

I've also set myself daily social goals (as I'm of the autistic community, it helps keep me active in social engagement), so for me, I aim to write a detailed comment on a post I enjoy every day and regularly check in on Steem.chat.
A daily social goal may not be for some, but it may help others who are not sure on what to write or how to engage.

I've learned even more about the social platform since reading this post (my next stop is to join Discord) so thank you for covering this topic.
I'm not one to re-steem lightly, but this is too useful not to!
I look forward to reading your next instalments! :)
