RE: The Khmerican Family Abroad | #3 - The Great Ecuador Exodus Pt. 2
Pro Tip? UPVOTE every comment on your material, and be a generous commentor on others' posts. No necessary to always upvote - but engage. Yes, a lot of skim reading. :)
I realize time is limited not only for me, but most Steemit users. I am reformatting in my mind how I will approach storytelling for future posts. Definitely in shorter segments to start with. I now realize people don't necessarily join Steemit primarily for good content.
I think you're wrong. Today's ecotrain curation show that too. People come to steemit for different values, and decentralised-no-censorship. And content. And community. Stories sometimes. If they're uplifting and have a point. The mini-detail of someone's practical life ISN"T always that easy for others to engage with, unless it has a common point of reference for them.....
An hour a day on steem to post, comment and upvote is more than enough. Epic sagas not the best investment of your time.
I understand there is a portion of people that come here for content. Honestly though if I wanted some travel info for Ecuador I would just google it. My first thought wouldn't be Steemit. I chose Steemit because what I write isn't really a traditional travel blog. I find when I travel, it's not about the beaches or the hotels, or the all the other things people blog about. For me it's about people. We've lived here almost 3 months and have only had money and time to venture out for a half-day two times.
For me life is all about people, knowledge, language and stories. When I travel that is my focus too, and I love finding out the details and history of someone's life, and finding out what makes them tick. I am trying to share this portion of my life through my stories here on Steemit.
I realize the details of our life are probably boring for many crypto wizards and Steemians. I do hope, however that a portion of readers find it interesting and even get some laughs from it.
