Are You New To Steemit? Are You Struggling To Be Seen? Make Meaningful Comments!
That's how many of us started, as commenters. Sure we wrote posts, but to make connections, get our name out there, have our avatar instantly recognized and develop our brand we did lots of commenting!
In the beginning I often made much more through commenting than I did through writing articles and you can do the same! REMEMBER COMMENTS ARE CONTENT AND CAN BE UPVOTED JUST LIKE BLOG POSTS! Good commenting is a skill and it will be rewarded!
Let's Take A Look At A Highly Successful And Much Loved Commenter!
I call him the King of Commenters and The Professional Encourager. Who is he? @eric-boucher!
Photo Credit: The Man himself @eric-boucher!
First of all @eric-boucher is a talented photographer and an interesting guy. You should follow him just for that reason. Check out one of his recent articles to see what I mean!
The fact is though that @eric-boucher doesn't post articles all that often but what he does do, perhaps better than almost anyone else, is comment!
Why is @eric-boucher so Successful?
- First of all his comments are kind, appreciative and have a positive tone!
- He also gives his opinion and often his analysis of the information in the article. He doesn't simply write: "Good article" or "nice post." He engages you, and you find yourself looking forward to his visit!
- @eric-boucher takes the time to answer questions that an article has posed.
- He comments a lot! Look at his comment page HERE. There are 20-30 a day!
What Else Can You Learn From This Commenting King?
@eric-boucher is not afraid to upvote his own comment. Not only does that move him up on the page but he gets to pay himself for the comment! And why shouldn't he? He's put a lot of work into Steemit and he brings valuable content to the table! Way to go @eric-boucher!
Please Scroll Through His Comment Page. Click On Some of Them And learn From A Master!
I picked the examples below almost at random and none are older than 8 days! Notice the dollar figures in red!
Have A Look At @eric-boucher's Author Rewards!
As I mentioned @eric-boucher doesn't post a lot of articles so as you scroll down the list you'll see that most of his rewards were earned through commenting! WOW!
@eric-boucher earned about $118.00 last week through commenting!
What About You?
- Will you check out @eric-boucher?
- Do you like to receive nice comments?
- Can you be an active commenter?
I hope that you enjoyed meeting @eric-boucher, the Commenting King and The Professional Encourager!
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
Remember, I reward the best comment(s) on each of my posts with my "The Old Dog is Throwing You a Bone" program! So please re-steem and follow so that we can spread the wealth!
LOL!!! Here's both tears of gratitude and laughing giggles... You have touched my heart deeply to speak in such terms and the kindness can only be returned from this end.
As I write this, I see that there are many who do appreciate your article as well (the article is now worth $224.31, and, maybe it is only my positively biased opinion, but it feels well deserved as it obeys the laws of our land: The Steemit platform population and the technology involve a few important demands. The writing style is easily approachable, positive, creative, open-minded and fun and reach out to the reader as well, as always! ;) Your article isn't too loaded with pictures or videos, which slows down the uploading of the content, especially on iPADs and iPHONEs and tablets of all sorts. You keep it short enough, yet filled with quality and interesting approachable content.
Reading your post brought to my attention facts about me that I wasn't absolutely unaware of, I love it! For example, I didn't know about my author rewards until you pointed it out to me. I have not looked at it in ages! Telling me that I had earned $118.00 last week alone gladly surprised me.
I also want to thank you for the choice of picture representing me as it does feel like me on so many levels. Further more, it is part of an experience related in the article you give the link to that will never leave my mind and my heart as being one of the most beautiful experience in my life. To top it all, the series or article relating to this trip in the Canadian Rockies is in itself a dream come true for which I had the opportunity and good fortune to share with you all because of the existence of Stemit.com and the person who pointed its existence to me: @onceuponatime!
All for one and one for all! Keep on thriving, Steem on, may the smiles be easy and namaste :)

Not sure I can become that successful like @eric-boucher – I however think that is an important area of the entire platform. I would love to be better in that respect. We have the content creators (Poster) – we have the Investor and we have the Engager or Interactor (the one that comment) – these 3 are highly relevant to steemit!
What About You? As said I would love to become better in interacting but sometimes a time issue – you can hardly comment very in depth on every great psot you want to.
Will you check out @eric-boucher? Sure lol
Do you like to receive nice comments? Yes but not only the word “nice!”
Can you be an active commenter? I try but am an amateur

I enjoy commenting more than I do posting blogs. It gives me much more freedom to express my toughts in a better way and since there is already set subject, I get inflow of response ideas and critiques if I must. Overall, commenting is possibly the best way of engaging directly with with Steemit community and of course, it creates many bonds. People tend to remember comments, like IRL. Thanks for this post!

Sure, I will check @eric-boucher out. I think commenting is kind of undervalued by new members. They sometimes make amazing content, but didnt get the notice they deserve. I recommend to build a following by commenting and meanwhile start to blog. You dont have to be perfect from beginning on. Opposite, I think it is better to learn, make mistakes, observe others, learn, struggle, then succes in small parts and just keep the work. Patience is also a key to success on steemit. Steem on, guys. And thank you for this recommendation.

I now feel very inspired and compelled to check out @eric-boucher 's blog! I agree with you about offering valuable and consistent feedback! Although I would assert that commenting is better than no commenting at all, offering thoughtful and insightful feedback is extremely important. After all, the is social media and the point is to be engaging and keep the conversation going! Only after you've shown that you care about and respect other people enough to share in their experience and content, will they begin to care about you. You ultimately get what you give!
I very much enjoyed this article and will now begin following both you guys!

Commenting gets quite addictive too with the positive responses from the people that receive them and with steemitboard making it an achievement.
One more characteristic in @eric-boucher comments is his Namaste ending which already gets incorporated with his profile here on Steemit. If we ask a veteran here in Steemit about who always says "Namaste" no doubt that person will guess eric. :)

A worthy tribute, @kus-knee... I see @eric-boucher's comments in many places and have always admired that he can post kind and meaningful comments on so many people's posts.
For me, that's one of the single most important things that moved me from feeling simply "curious" about Steemit to becoming an active contributor: there is an authentic community here.
Sure, we have "friends" and connections on other social platforms, but getting a thumbs-up, a smiley face and a couple "agreed!" comments on a Farcebook post is just NOT the same level of engagement we have on Steemit. For years, I have been trying to "engage" people on other platforms... and it simply doesn't seem to "work." Ten comments on a Facebook post is a "huge success;" here it is almost a disappointment...
And that says a LOT for this place!

I just now started following @eric-boucher (based on this post). I'm new here so examples like this are just the sort of thing I'm looking for as I learn the platform.
I've been unsure about upvoting my own content so I took special note of the fact the Eric upvotes his comments. So far I've seen mixed opinions on self-upvoting. Based on what I'm reading here my current plan is to self-upvote occasionally but highly selectively.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

You would do very well to learn from @eric-boucher's success.
As far as up voting your own comment it is controversial. Keep in mind a few points!
1.)Some are investors in Steem and would like to create a return. Can we complain if they do a little self up voting?
2.) There are many on this platform who have given away thousands in SBD or Steem as prizes so the funds are still spread around.
3.) Some up vote there own comment if they think that it's important and they'd lilke it to be more visible.
4.) Some may spend half an hour on a detailed comment should they be allowed to pay themselves for their efforts?
My rule of thumb: I only up vote my own comments if they have already received an up vote from someone else and I never overdo it. I invest a lot of time in communicating with people and trying to answer everyone's comments and so the odd tip is helpful.
You can use this tool to see what percentage of self voting you or others are doing. www.steemreports.com

Yes I see @eric-boucher all over Steemit! He is doing a very important role here and that is engaging. Although my posts don't make much, I stay for the interaction. The comments and the getting to make new friends with folks around the world is awesome!
Thanks for clarifying the topic of upvoting your own comments. When I was a brand new Steemer, I saw one Steemer chastise another for upvoting his own comment. From then on I was leery of doing it, even though I saw the value of being higher on the page. I think I will start doing it then. Great post as always OD.

Great post and right down the line in my world here. I'm fairly new here at steemit and all I've really done so far is surf around meeting people in the community and commenting! It seems to working fine for me and is a lot of fun to boot. I feel I need to post but just haven't found the momentum to do so. Like I said surfing, reading, meeting and commenting is just a good time for me. My account is growing too which really surprised me! The one thing you mentioned that hit home with me was having a noticeable avatar? I realized I've yet to do this? This makes lots of sense and, well, I'm gonna get right on that! Thanks for the nuggets of knowledge! Enjoyed!

I find commenting to be the one, sure-fire, way to meet the interesting people on steemit. Sure, it's important to blog, but you may as well have just pasted your blog on wordpress instead of steemit, because nobody will read it if you have no audience.
Reading thru others' posts leads to finding recommended steemians with interesting blogs. That's how I ended up here, at this very moment. Keep teaching, guiding, mentoring and someday you will have that cottage industry!

I appreciate you showing a prime example with proof of the "strategy" which I see as much more than a strategy. Vis-à-vis I think you nailed it with the positive tone. That can't be underscored enough, IMO. Also, frequency builds up momentum or steam/steem... get it? Ok, cheesy joke. But I try to keep in mind that climbing a mountain is achieved by first starting with a single step, then putting one foot in front of the other consistently. It's easy to get discouraged even when given a proven technique that works, such as this. But I use this as motivation to keep on going and building in the community.

One of the best posts here. I have been here for 2 weeks and have come across several of @eric-boucher's comments.
The first post I read was interesting. I don't remember what it was. What caught my eye was his "All for one and one for all! Namaste! :) Loved that.
I am in the habit of sifting quickly through the comments, looking for the longer ones and all of his responses are long and very interesting. Of course now I notice that most of his comments are right at the top, owing to the number of votes... I guess.
I am also in the habit of sharing my thoughts on posts that catch my interest. I cannot just post for the sake of posting and my short posts are generally to wish people on a special occasion. Of course there is a lot of learn from The Commenting King. :)
Thank you @kus-knee for writing this post on commenting, as I was not sure if commenting is an acceptable way of meeting and getting to know people.
Thank you @eric-boucher for the immense value you bring to this platform.

I hope the pun was understood, commenting further just in case. Agree @kus-knee, commenting on posts actually helps a lot in community-building. This is a venue to share further your personality that hopefully others appreciate. Also a comment is a huge affirmation on the content creator, allowing them to know that their work was read, and had stimulated the reader's thinking mind. The positive outcome from this activity is worth every second spent in thought-composition.
Great post!

Always happy to share my thoughts. That is what is so awesome with this community, one is always encouraged to extend one's self to others, at the same time accept the extension others are offering. See you around the community!
