I am on my way to build-up my steem power again because it feels good to have a stack of it, I can use it to support others while making myself attractive to others. I have proven that the more SP you have the more users with the same or better steem power will get you linked to them which is why I do not want to powerdown completely simply because I do not want to get ignored.
It is the norm here at steem community because people just wants a mutual benefit, some call it in a negative fashion but I am just talking about the reality of being a steemian.
It is good if you have a supporter, then you can survive in blogging which is why most new users struggle to make use of this platform because they can't get support and it affects user retention.
Only prolific writers (in the blogging realm of steem platform) that loves writing can advance in this platform because if you will just try and does not have much persistence and consistency you will find yourself giving up until you see that steem's price is attractive again and then you will do the same until you get disheartened again because of lack of attention.
One key in success here is to just do what you have a passion in doing in your life and then just share it here. You will then see that people with like-minded passion will be able to see your work and appreciate it until finally you will be recognized by the community and make a name or brand for yourself.
That is just one of the keys here to be successful and there are more you can discover as you go along which sometimes you will just ignore and stick with the technique that you are comfortable in implementing for yourself. You just have to enjoy what you are doing otherwise you will get bored with it and leave the platform like what many people or steem users had done in the past.
