Resteems and quality replies to popular posts are the key to growing from what I have seen.
People need to resteem your posts to their followers. I gain most of my followers through quality replies to other people's posts however. I do not post unless I have something valuable to add to the conversation too.
Being on steemit.chat helps as well as this reply proves. I had no idea who you were until you came into chat with us!
You have an extra < /p> up there by the way. ;-) Do you use an editor or just type up your posts in the default window? I'm just using the default window.
It's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content. Thanks for the chat earlier today as well!
I'll resteem this to introduce you to my followers.
Good advice @finnian, i would also add that new users can benefit greatly by joining PALnet Discord channel as part of the Minnow Support Project. (Similar to Steem Chat but much more community support imo.)

@finnian, do you suggest bein active on Steem.chat? Whenever I post something there nothing happens, no conversation, nada. I found it a waste of time but I have probably approached it the wrong way. Same for all the dozen of Discord chats I joined.

Steemit.chat is valuable only if you're in special channels. I hang out in security, panama, and yunk in addition to general for example. :)

I'm researching Panama to move my family there. We were considering Costa Rica too.

I can only speak for Costa Rica. It is wonderful here. And very high living standard for a Central American country.

How do taxes work there? Taxes on your vehicle? House? Income? I thought I read that there's no capital gains tax there. That's huge.

I have no clue about that. I don't own a vehicle or a house.

Personally I liked Costa Rica better. Panama is nice but kind of a police state. Our money is the same there. The policia are apt to harass gringos. Keep you passport on you at all times. In David I saw an american get arrested for not having it on him (he was standing in front of his hotel, it was in his room). I believe it's just a ploy to make money but it still sucks to spend the night in a Panamanian jail for something this silly I'm sure.

The police are not as much of a problem in CR? I have heard lots of stories, just stories of course, of expats being in a lot of danger in CR. Panama is supposedly better? I'm not sure which place is better. All I know is I want to stay a PI if possible, and there appears to be expat PI firms in CR. Also, you can get and carry a firearm in both places, correct? I refuse to be disarmed.

I am not sure about carrying but I do think you are right. I only know what I experienced while down there. Panama is my least favorite hispanic country just because the policia seem to throw their weight around to much was all. Again, this may have just been my experience. Well, everyone does get searched like crazy going in and out and it can take a long time at borders in and out of Panama due to this. There are free trade zones in Panama though.

Thank you @finnian! And it was nice to meet you on the chat.
Thanks for the comment too - I completely agree that thoughtful comments make one stand out and others will most probably check your profile thanks to it.
