Great post! I'm still pretty new to SteemIt but I'm right at that point you mentioned, where the things I'm learning now are revealing a lot about what I need to do to succeed. I've also started finding articles that are really useful for expanding your presence in the SteemIt community, which has helped shape some necessary targets in order to reach my goals. I've been trying to focus on good quality content but I haven't been doing enough to gain exposure and really understand Steem Power. I'm learning though and this post has some very good advice.
