We've or most of us has been there. Starting from zero. Actually from a 15 Hive/Steem power loan. There are days where I get very little attention and engagement. I relate because I know how you felt and we will know how any newbie going through the effort needs someone to encourage them on. I've been here 8 years now, that's long. I go out of my way to welcome new bloggers, leave thoughtful and meaningful comments on junior member posts when I can. Offer the odd advice. Empathy when I see someone struggling through the process. When you start to act on empathy, you begin to embark a different journey.
