Of all the people I introduced to Steemit only one ( @s3rg3 ) is really sticking with it consistently. And it's such a pleasure to see him slowly developed as a blogger.
But blogging is not as easy as it once was on Steemit. The bloggers that started a year ago simply had fewer bloggers to share the reward pool with.
So, with more users joining every day. As a new blogger, you really need to produce content you enjoy creating and be consistent at it.
And I specifically say content you enjoy creating for good reason.
In the beginning, I tried a couple of times to make content I thought would do well but I didn't enjoy. And it was mind-numbing and awful to do. I never want to go back to that.
Rewards will follow from your content and actions on here but should never be the main goal.
I talk about it more in my vlog. (starts around 3:35)

Yes man, I really enjoy writing content that I like to share. It is much easier to write while having fun than write purely for profit. In the end ai also think people will read it in your writing if you didn't had any fun writing or actually had fun writing.

I think it's true. When I made those posts I thought would do well. In the end, you could just read the misery in the words. I'm having much more fun now.

Thank you for your post and your vlog @exyle - As a newly arrived steemian I happily consume posts like this. I am working towards building up my audience - if rewards come later then that is great. If not then I've had a blast along the way and engaged with an awesome community

Steemit is one of the most unique places on the Internet right now. There is nothing like it out there and the community is amazing. I liked your Generation X Nostalgia post. I loved Spiderman as a kid on tv.

I focused mostly on photography for 6 months, now I'm trying to make 50% photo 50% science/news/philosophy etc. I'm not getting much votes anymore :D Guess I'll just have to stick with it and attract a new audience.

I have been writing for a few years now for many different clients, and I immediately enjoy steemit more even if not everything I write ends up getting too much.
Being able to write whatever you want, not having to conform to certain guidelines, and putting it out there and getting compensated is all very satisfying and rewarding. I don't write as much anymore, but steemit has compelled me to do so again, especially since because I am already knowledgable on what I write about I can write out content so much faster.

Really great advice and so very true. Do what you love and the rest takes care of it's self. Your advice for beginners I feel is crucial because the newbies like myself are the future of Steemit. We need all new people to stay for the long term to make the Steemit the standard in social media. It can be very easy to get discouraged, but like anything, if you stick to it and keep your head down, you look up 6 months later and you've made incredible strides. Followed and Resteemed

Thank you for your nice reply. More users joining raises the value of the Steem blockchain and from that everyone that is on it benefits. Encouraging them to stay is therefore important indeed.

I love the phrase you use "the grind". Using steemit is rewarding and educational, but users need to consistently produce quality content to succeed on the platform. That is what most everyone that is currently reaping the blog rewards went thru a year ago. It's the only way to attract a following unless you have some celebrity status when you start. Steemon

You are correct in saying that we should enjoy what we are creating. Beauty of Steemit is, we can choose not to conform. We can be critical, anylytical, judgemental, truthful..add any other adjective that defines our natural instint. This is the beauty of Steemit which I dont find elsewhere. Making money is one part but having a platform to vent out your feeling, in this world where everyone judges you & you are always scanner, is a true bliss. All the best buddy..keep posting & happy steeming.....!!!!!!!!!!!1

@exyle I indeed feel you sir. I am a newbie on steemit and in fact I have also tried that posting about something that I thought it could be interesting to others and earn rewards. I kept on doing that way for the first few days of my blogging but eventually I realize that its not "satisfying" when I try to resist what's on my mind. I would love to express what was on my mind but I tend to be reluctant because I had thought such ideas would not interest other readers on steemit. As days went by, I unleashed by ideas and made my steemit account as my online diary instead. 😊 Fingerscrossed, I really find that way fun and comfortable. Thanks for sharing, this blog is a must-read article for other newbies.
