Your Posts Don't Catch A Whale's Eye On Steemit? What You Should Do?

in steemit •  8 years ago  (edited)

After reading so many valuable posts on steemit I have noticed that the most of great posts make only pennies or worst don't make any money, I have see some people complaining, some people don't care, others defending steemit, some people trying and trying again, some others down-voting successful content and all kind of strange things happen on steemit but I have so also some people with no posts but they make a lot of money with little be of efforts or just few clicks, I give that people a name: Shadow Guys.

Before talking about the Shadow guys lets know some reasons that make most of people don't make any money:

  • I'm a bad writer: some people they want to write a good post but they can't because of many reasons like poor English, first time to write some articles and so many other reasons.
  • I have no ideas what to write about: some people try to find good ideas to write about but they give up quickly, they don't think too much and search to find some thing hiding in the mind.
  • I write long articles but just a few up-votes: some people write about details so long, may be it's important stuff but readers get bored.
  • I don't believe in steemit: some people write 2 or 3 posts if they don't make any money they just quit.
  • I'm pessimist: a lot of people are pessimist and they never try, they don't believe in any thing.
  •  I see only crappy posts make money, I'm not lucky: some people think that way, they believe in luck and they believe that they are not lucky.
  • I have brilliant ideas that have talk about but no body care: some people put all the eggs on the same place, they spend all the energy when they start, after a few days they get bored and give up.
  • I try every thing but nothing works ...

This is just a few examples, I can give you more than 100 reasons why people don't make money on steemit when the shadow guys are making money.

Who are Shadow guys:

I choose that name because you never see this guys new posts at page new or the page trending or any other page, they work smart on steemit with no big efforts or brilliant ideas or wonderful posts, they work with some thing I called the Eagle Eye, they are not genius or some thing but they make money with smart way and like I said with less effort but how?

Shadow guys don't want you to know what they do:

I have never read a post on steemit a post explaining a good strategy all I have read it's just good ideas but they never tell you about strategy, I wanna thank by the way all people who try to help and explaining a lot of mysterious stuff that people don't know about yet, may be I miss some good strategies because I can never read all articles or catch all that's impossible.

What shadow guys do: 

Shadow guys are very smart and they never give up, I see them every where on steemit, of course i'm not talking about spammers, so what they do:

  1. Search: this guys before they start any thing they do a lot of search to find some thing special.
  2. Be different: they never do the same what most of people do.
  3. Follow wealth: they follow successful peoples and whales.
  4. Eagle eye: they work hard to discover good opportunity before others.
  5. Never regret: even they don't succeed first time they believe in other opportunities.
  6. Be happy: they know that nothing works if you are said.

Now let's know what they do exactly on steemit: 

Most of people on steemit believe in posts and they dream that one or two of his work catch a whale eye and give it some reputation, they are not wrong they can succeed but if not what to do:

  • Up-vote others content: Shadow guys they spend hours looking and reading new content , they try to up-vote all good content without spamming, they up-votes in the smart way not up-vote every thing.
  • Commenting : that's the biggest secret they use to make money, commenting is so easy you don't need new ideas , you don't need to write a post, you don't need to convince people to up- vote you content, they just support others, showing how important other's content also they do it in the smart way they never comment every thing or just spam a comments , they read before commenting.

I hope that article help you a little guys and thank you for your time spent with this post , may God bless you :)

Hey that's a good article on shadow guys explaining strategy on how to earn in Steemit without posting any content. Indeed there are people who great at identifying great contents and voting them early. And commenting is great strategy as you can read others post and give your opinions on the topic (Not spam). I've seen comments earn hundreds on some post.

Yep exactly bro , thank you for sharing your opinion

done bro , I have up-vote your post :)

Nice read ! But ey, don't give up hope. I have been writing 2 weeks posts that were worth a few pennies. And I am suffering from 2 hernias in my neck so imagine how frustrating it is. Sitting hours behind my PC with horrible neckpain and getting only a few pennies for it. But I didn't give up and finally I got rewarded for it. Remember: you only fail if you give up !!!

Thank you @diego24 for this great comment , thank you for the tips, I will never give up bro even I make pennies

Good insights...

Thank you :)

Sometimes you have to think like a risk investor.
There are cool stuff in this plataform like your post here and I believe this is more important than anything even about money. We need to think that we weren't earning anything until Steemit came out and now it looks like we have to. It's kinda crazy

Like you read my mind bro , I was writing a post in this topic

excellent article, very helpful
