Complaining will only chase people away, waste your time, and it will never solve your problems ~ Charles Fuchs.
Whats up Steemians, today I wanted to address some of the things that I've been seeing a lot recently on blogs and comment sections.
There are so many people currently complaining on the lack of high upvotes they receive on their posts. 🙇🏼
I totally know where they are coming from, I know how it feels when people spent hours creating an awesome posts and only made $10. 👨🏼💻
However, let's start looking at it in a different way (out of the box thinking).
With the volatility of the Cryptocurrency markets throughout the last couple of months, we have seen the price of Steem trending between $1-1.60. 📊
This has caused our Steemit "Voting Power" to be lower than what we were use to experience just a few months ago. As Steem price rises, so will everyone's voting power.
"So Charles, what does that have to do with anything? I'm just making $5-$10 a post and that sucks!"
Making $5-$10 for a blog post as a Minnow or Dolphin is pretty damn good right now... Let me explain! 💰
For example, what if the price of Steem was to reach $3-$5 at the end of the year?
If that happens, all the hard work you put into all of your blogs, you will actually have made $15-$50 per posts if you just kept your Steem power! 😳
We are all expecting Steemit to make a huge run in 2018 and we can see a price target of $10+.
What if that did happened? ...all of your $3-$5 posts will actually of been $30-$100 if you kept it in Steem Power! 😲
So if you guys are all complaining about just making a few bucks with your posts, you are not seeing the big picture. 👨🏼🏫
Each one of your posts are actually "Huge Payouts" later down the road. Don't become one of those people that quit and look back years from now kicking yourself in the ass with regret. 🤣
With that being said, Never Stop and "Keep on Stackin"! 💞

after Jerry banfield have said that after 5 years each Steem will be more than $1,000, your 10$ post today will be $10,000. Upvoted

I can't imagine that level, I hope he's right. How did prominent Steem users react to that figure, I wonder? A lot of the minnows/dolphins seem to think $10 is the limit... I'm ambivalent, but holding!

I'm in steemit for the long ride, @stackin. It doesn't matter if I make $5 on my post today. Like you said long-term view is better and the newly proposed smart media tokens (SMT) would be that which will propel the price of steem to the moon.

Another post that really hit it out of the park @stackin.
That is the outlook I have. So far, most of my posts arent making $5-$10 but I am not discouraged. Even $.30 is going to be worth a lot more in the future. This is what keeps me posting and commenting. I view Steemit as a platform where it all compounds.
I buy some steem and turn it into SP which increased my voting power which brings in more steem since I can vote others who then follow me. At the same time, the ecosystem grows bigger thus becoming more valuable which means my steem gains even more value. I will have to go through the white paper again, but I believe it has a built in compounding effect from three different areas.
Once again, thanks for your insights and willingness to share it with us.

I agree with you. I didn't get rid off my personal FB but since I started Steemit, I barely have the time or any interest going to my FB and checking what is going on. And I think within time, I'll probably get rid of it too. I like how you said, find your Tribe, it sounds cool and I totally agree. I'm building my tribe slowly because it takes time, but I really like here even if I don't see big money yet.

A penny saved is a penny earned ;) I am happy about any votes I get and will never ask or beg for them and your thinking is the exact reason. What might be worth $0.10 today could be worth $1 in a years time or higher. Keep producing quality, comment on others and you will see your followers and votes increase over time. None of this is over night success there is a ton of work that needs to be put into it just like any business or job.

Exactly @stacking. Just keep on posting and thinking your net 1$ profit is actually worth 10$ next year (hopefully)
It is really hard and I get it. Even myself with almost 4000 steempower has big problems getting upvotes. I actually lose money on many posts because I use booster and bellyrub etc to get attention. Sometimes it works and I make a few bucks, other times I lose money.
I get that a lot of my stuff is controversial and not as "positive" and yaaaay happy as most steemians want it. Even with almost 1000 followers I sometimes get only 1 or 2 upvotes on a post. :D
But keep it real and keep posting, and with some luck you might 10x it. I agree!

They get $5 per post and they still complain? Wtf, my posts before only get cents not even make it to a dollar mark and they complain for $5? GREED that's what it is.

Charles, I agree with the second part of this post. Just think about the current rewards x $10 - $50, be cause it will get there for sure (i'm just not selling before that moment comes)!
The first part I don't agree with. The Steem price does ofcourse influence the post reward but:
This means that there is a lot more rewardpool draining taking place, thus lower postrewards to collect for all of us!

Is true we don't know everyone's financial situation. I my self have invested just a little on steemit because I like the concept and the idea of this community. I am not in the best financial state right now but if the price of Steem was to skyrocket by tomorrow I would surely power down a bit to help myself a bit. But that's not a realistic scenario, and I always thought about holding long since the moment I bought my first Steem. So let's keep going! Upvoted and followed!

Great one Charles
A lot of steemians need to come to the understanding of "how nothing is a waste on steemit, even a 0.01 worth of upvote".
The problem with many minnows like myself is focusing on how much they could earn on a post than how quality of a connection they could land on a post.
On steemit, connection speak louder than anything else and when i say connection; i mean your network with other great steemians like yourself whether a minnow, a dolphin or a whale, everything counts.
And lastly on the appreciation of steem price, we all anticipate for this day when the true value of steem will be discovered by big crypto investors and they will move money in large quantity and that will increase the price of steem and then make we (early adopters) with few steem coin wealthy.

I hope you are right, but currently the infighting and circle jerk voting at the top is daunting for the rest of us. Add the high barriers to entry here and this gives concern that the platform will succeed long term. 30K in active members is very tiny when you consider that 25% (?) of the action is by bots, spammers and scammers.

This makes me feel much better @stackin. Although, I am usually fairly patient for the long game, I can't help but feel impatient as well. Motivation is key.
But one thing I would like add is that the value of the post (both now and in the future) is not the only way to measure it's success. I think many people use this platform to create something that will bring additional value as well.
Many focus on only what each post is going to do for them. You have to treat it like a business. What can you do on steemit to possibly bring in income or value other than the post's proceeds?
For me, I like to write sci-fi and fantasy. Currently, I'm working on my novel and posting a chapter at a time on my blog. Its a rough draft but I am able to network with editors and fellow writers on MSP and Discord to polish my writing. I hope to self-publish eventually.
I have been working on this idea for years, but it is only due to steemit that I have had enough motivation to put my idea's to paper. Because of this, my writing has gotten me the attention of Curie several times and won several competitions. I'm not saying this to brag, but only to illustrate how effective it is to choose a larger project and then use steemit to motivate yourself and market it.
Writing a single post here and there just doesn't cut it. Having a long term goal or project is key. It could be anything. People who are frustrated with their posts getting little attention need to ask themselves just what they are passionate about and then how do I put that on Steemit?
Anyway, thank you for letting me rant @stackin. Have a good one. Cheers!

Great post my friend! I have been on Steemit for only a few months and many articles I have written and spent many hours researching have only brought me a few cents. I don't let this worry me or get me down. I do it because I love to do it. For me it isn't about the money. I like to think that my articles bring something of interest to the community. I look at it this way: If I am successful writing interesting articles then the money can and will come later, not the other way around. I like the comments that people leave me and I always upvote them. Nothing worse than when someone leaves just a link about their post.
Thanks for this article!

Well put my friend. I recently had a discussion with someone based of seeing a post claiming that (his words, not mine) Steemit is just like the conventional money system where the rich get richer and I simply couldn't not disagree more. My main argument was the price of Steem going up and the ability to invest fiat or any other crypto currency funds into Steem. If there wasn't the ability to invest I could see it being a hard road but I've notice immediate improvement, especially in curation rewards since investing only $100 a week for the past few weeks. Overall, I just love the optimizism and promise this platform shows am I'm willing to bet on Steem and our community :)

Exactly right Charles. Being here at the beginning, we have to think long term.
That is stacking our relatively small amount of Steem Power now as an investment, as well as continuing to build our personal blog's network and following so when the price of Steem does explode, we're able to really capitalise.
Keep up the great work mate!

I agree 100% @stackin. Its an amazing opportunity to get in on the ground floor of this new technology. Almost like being an employee of Apple at the very beginning and having your own office in the basement but being totally free to create whatever you want and being rewarded with shares of the company every step of the way. Funny, I was just looking at some old videos @trevonjb posted when he first started on Steemit. He was always complaining about not getting whale votes. Also, that his videos were not being rewarded commensurate with the amount of work he put in. As you may know he rose to be one of the biggest earners on Steemit.

Thanks for this motivational post @stackin. I am Minnow now but i have talk to many whales. They say in the beginning there will be low upvotes. But once you build your followers upvotes will come. Content is the king at the end.

Complain and nagging is negative energy and a trademark of the people who were pampered a lot during their childhood. Contrarily, a problem-solving person will think of the solution.
Some simple rules for getting more upvotes are:
Good luck!
Good post @stackin. You're rocking man.

This is the best way to look into it. Right now I am not making much, but I am more into getting started to write than the money per se. This could be awesome in the future though. Could be a full time job even Thanks stackin!

That's great, the problem is most people here wish they were making 1 dollar a post, forget it, you only get up votes if you are on up vote bot lists or are in some guild or you are a whale and they are sucking up to you. I have made a lot of good posts and the most I get are 5 up votes, and the money I make is about 10 cents that includes my self up vote which is worth 5 cents. Actually I was making more because I was using minnowsupport which made my posts get up to 25 cents, but seems I am no longer getting votes from them, and now the saddest part is let's say I make 25 cents by the time I get paid it has somehow been whittled down to 18 cents.
Guilds and bots are killing this platform.

Even if they don't have much vote-power, tiny votes from lots of real people mean someone is reading what you write. I find it more frustrating to get only bot votes, even if they pay you more.

That's right @stackin! Let's keep on writing and commenting and going 100% Steem Power on blogs. We will see our day. I have noticed some of my favorite bloggers from the beginning of my journey here not blogging for months. It is hard to get back to writing when so much time has gone by. We got to keep on writing and there is no time for complaining.

First of all thanks for this post because it serves as a great encouragement to us minnows!!
You mentioned " if you kept it in Steem Power!" in the post. I had a question regarding this. Do you mean to convert all the SBDs into steem power as well? Because half of the payout is in SBDs.I convert most of my SBDs into steem, and whatever part of the payout is paid in steem power stays as steem power (i.e. I don't power down). So is it alright if I convert some SBDs into STEEM and hold them or should i stop converting to steem and just put everything inti steem power?

When the Steem finally grows in the near future, a lot of us here will blame ourselves for not investing much on the steem, those that had been withdrawing their SBD will wish they had save up for the future, people who didn't join steemit will be full of regrets. Me personally use to feel happy that I'm getting tokens from steemit for just posting. A lot of people have been posting on Facebook without getting a dime.
