Many people start blogging and or Vlogging online ( Steemit, Youtube, Dtube etc) with the false belief of making thousands of money daily due to some are making it (trending / hot pages junkies), however (if you are among them) have you asked yourself how those people started ? What are their success strategies including their success and failure stories? Moreover, most of the successful people failed many times, accepted their mistakes and changed trajectory by being smart on what they do. Here are some few points:
Pic Source:
Smart Vs Hard work: You can work 18 hours a day without sleep and still fail if you do not work smart. In fact most of the successful people focus on their core-competences and build followers by appealing to the economic and or social realities of people, engaging with those people through replying to their comments and or personal chats. Moreover, you cannot force success by spamming a platform with hundreds of copy and paste comments (follow for follow, upvote for upvote for examples) and or useless / low quality posts (plagiarized) with many different accounts, hoping to succeed like those people making it online. Reality is that you will surely fail with such strategy because it is not a smart strategy (quality plus engagement pays more than quantity)
Jack Of all Trades: Are you a jack of all trades? If so then you can end up to be master of none because you cannot do all at the same time. Therefore, concentrate on where you are good at and build followers / contacts. Furthermore, blogging smart relates to removing greed and being patient -knowing that you can never make it so big in the 1st 3 months (unless you are a star or have large amount of money to buy steem power and or you have large followers in other social media platform whom are ready to support you). Put succinctly, 1st learn how things are done here from successful people before you start blogging full time.
Do you agree? Send in your comments and or sugestions and resteem in order to teach your contacts and upvote in order to send in your support.

As a newbie I appreciate blogs that offer advise on how to do better on this platform. I also Like to see content providers that respond and engage their followers. You do that, thank you. I can't follow too many people, and even some I like I give up on as they never respond.

True said Sir @charles1

And at the end of the day Nobody can be a jack of all trade like a commerce student cannot study science and arts at the same time so Do what you are good at .... Awesome post sir truly inspired ...

Great advice - I've seen quite a few people say that "they came here for the money and ended up staying for the community".
The money won't be enough to get most people's fire started at least in the first three months as you mention - but the good thing is that you can practice and hone your skills, find your niche and find like-minded people whilst you build your following.
I am enjoying the journey (about 1 month in) and I'm learning a ton from your posts. Cheers!

It's very important post,I'm new in steemit here ,after I Read your posting ,learning less than successful people from what little possessed, I realize that this is where we work but it would be nice what we have today is the answer we will get to the fore tampa continue to learn and continue to create things that can be useful for myself and the people, thanks @ charles1 who has opened my eyes to continue to do even a little, this becomes a meaningful science for me and become an application in my future activities .Work will produce maximum results but the habit should be a role model in this life. There is no right without error but it is not the standard in this life.

True.
Blogging/vlogging is really hectic and is not easy as it looks from the outside.
Hardwork in the right direction is smart work.
So smart work is really essential.
It's very important to recognize our key skills and make specific blogs on what we are good at.
And the first few month/years might still be a bleeding period.
We need to look at the bigger picture as a beginner

I totally agree withyour opinion on how to put together the best strategy, and the fundamental basis is to focus on what is good and to exploit it to the fullest.
In addition to what he has already said, I would add a phrase from the Greek writer Plutarch: patience has more power than strength.

That's really good advice - I am 1 month in to Steemit, but feel I haven't found my grounds just yet. Perhaps I need to think about it more strategically. Just out of curiosity; do you consider setting goals part of your smart blogging? have you set yourself goals - be it daily or long term goals on what to achieve? I will follow you, hoping to learn some more pointer. :)
