Are you all out of ideas now?

Step away from the keyboard.
Go find something else to do for a few days.
Take a break.
We already have thousands of How To Steemit posts. They all look the same!
The people with the high value votes already know how this place works. They will not be interested in your:
- Think before you write.
- Typos are bad, mmmkay?
- Include images because everyone has A.D.D. and are naturally drawn to flashy colors.
- Oh! Wow! I just noticed something!
- And don't forget to format! format! format!
Sure
Maybe the noobs will be all over that shit.
But do you really want everyone acting like you and cramping your style?

You don't!
That's your competition!
Make them suffer!
If you think you have an edge, shut up, because you won't have that edge anymore after opening your big mouth.
Take me for instance. Do you see me telling anyone about how I had nothing to write about today so I just did this? No, you don't, and there's a good reason for that.
Do you see me telling anyone about how when I don't have anything to write about, I simply do the exact opposite of what everyone else does when they don't have anything to write about? Of course you don't.
If I taught everyone how to simply start mashing random keys until words come out all while adding the random thoughts my brain farts out every now and again, I'd be out of a job!
Some other things I'm not going to tell you today are:
- Be as vague as possible.
- Use exclamation points so people pay attention to you!
- Sit and laugh at your own stupidity.
- The first letters of each line should spell 'busted' for some strange reason.
- Eventually.
- Don't edit out the parts like this that shouldn't be here.
Busted
For shit-posting.
Now all I have to do is apply the 'funny' tag. That gives me a pass to do whatever the hell I want and if people don't find it funny I can simply play dumb, put a blank look on my face, throw my hands up and say, "Well, I tried. See you tomorrow!"

It might be cloudy outside
but my mind is clear.
And that's why I can't think of anything better to write about!
But this freedom I have to do whatever I want on my blog is brilliant! Why didn't I think of this years ago?!
Oh wait! I did! And I've been doing whatever I want ever since.
Now, I realize some purists might come along and stick their noses up in the air so they can smell my shit post better. That doesn't matter though.
How To Steemit
Do whatever you want.
Less pressure means more folks can join in on the fun. Not everyone is what they call a professional content producer when they arrive but that doesn't mean they won't get the hang of it after feeling comfortable knowing it truly doesn't matter what they write about.
Allow yourself to let go of perfection every now and again but do follow the basics. It's still wise to format your shit posts and fix errors as a courtesy to those who might look. That's common sense. We don't need thousands of posts repeating that same message continuously.
My experience here tells me our true followers, fans and friends will not turn their backs on us for having fun and enjoying an off day. It's all good, so you can relax now.
Have a nice day.


This is the best how to post I read...
You probably know why...
Because there is a take home message:
I have no original ideas and I don't care, I just borrow from the best.

So, just write! anything that comes from the heart is good enough imo, sharing opinions and learning in the process!

Metashit abounds on Steemit; it is a very lucrative type of content.
Writing about writer's block seems to be the instant solution for writers, but what is a photographer to do?
Anyway, I did my best to make a shitpost just now, I even tagged it "shitpost" for the less observant. I would humbly like to apply for your Shit Post award.

I think that this type of "how to steemit" posts are getting outdated. As you said some common sense needs to be part of a post, but getting in others frameworks it's just like a monkey trying to become a human being. I had a teacher in high-school that always gave us the originality point for not copying from others and that was the incentive for being original and true to yourself. I, myself, have noticed that when I try to fit in others patterns and "be successful like they" always fail. However when I just let my thoughts and opinions feel the page not only that I get more upvotes, but comments also, that in my opinion, are a sign of success as well as upvotes. To end my long comment short I will say that originality always pays off.

It takes a lot of practice and genuine talent to become a shitpost master. But it does help, when everything goes blank just try hitting those keys, the rest will follow and even if they don't you can always post a kitty picture or video, they always love cat videos!

That just proves his entire business plan how to Steemit (buy votes, buy your following, yadda-yadda-yadda) doesn't work. Many of us pointed out how that doesn't work here long ago, people asked for proof, there it is. Why they continue to try it, with proof it doesn't work, means those people deserve to waste that money and time.

I read your post, that wasn't shitty. Have you heard of #Ulog? I'm not 100% sure if there's a certain criteria that must be met but I think your style might fit in to that growing niche.
