I realised today that I no longer have any need to look at my emails.
I no longer have any need to look at my Twitter, Instagram or YouTube messages.
I no longer have any need to look at my Facebook notifications.
Facebook is a secondary tool only now, designed to share my Steemit posts with my old 'friends', teasing more and more people in with each article they see.
I do still notice & respond to personal messages on Facebook and I also still see messages on Skype. But the other usual means of communication serve no purpose for me anymore.
I still have a phone of course! And those who know me can always just call me. Or come pay us a visit at Steemit HQ Bali, just south of Ubud.
The Importance of steemit.chat
I use steemit.chat personal message service as my main form of communication now. This way I am communicating only with the community I care about.
The latest Minnow trick!
I have noticed many minnows contacting me through the personal message service on steemit.chat to ask for an upvote.
Sorry to say that I will not be giving you an upvote if this is the post promotion system you are using.
The message tool is not for post promotion but for communication.
And if I give one person an upvote because they have requested it in this manner, then I must give every person who asks for it.
Which sadly I cannot do.
If you are struggling on Steemit, I suggest you watch this tutorial video here (produced a few weeks ago) and look out for more focused tutorials examining specific subjects in greater detail.
