I am disappointed with #steemit at the moment as I am seeing ZERO earnings for the entire one week. Can you believe it? This is much worse than posting on my own blog and monetizing with adsense. I see many upvotes and I did a lot of commenting on others posting as well as upvoting. But at the end of the day, what did I get? ZERO earnings!!
Ranting a bit here as I feel that my time has been wasted on this platform. However I do see an opportunity for affiliate marketing (posting of reviews,etc and promoting affiliate programs). I think this should be the way going forward as this will help to boost my earnings.
Points taken that some people will say that I am inpatient. But I have a family to feed. My objective to make money is clear and I do not want to waste time chasing a dream (I am long past that age). How many of you are actually facing this exact situation like myself? Those who have made their earnings, do share your experience on how you overcome the initial low down with poor earnings like this?
wellcome

Don't let money be your only reason to be here. There a far more profitable things to do if money is what you seek.

@steve-walschot Unfortunately I am here only for the money. This is why I am tired after awhile of not seeing revenue. I have a family to feed. Hobbies and interest is long beyond me. I am no longer at the stage of dreaming and waking up to reality of having to pay for bills and foods.

You've made the choice to just write for money. Pick a subject and create a writing layout. Set aside 2-3 hours a day and focus on a masterpiece. The radio helps me focus. Give yourself up to a week to create a great article! Google search "how to write a blog@ and there's tons of help! Good luck!

@steve-walschot is exactly right here. You have one of two things to consider while on steemit. 1-Do you want to just have fun writing and see if you make anything. Or 2-do you want to so this to make serious money? That's a decision you have to make. If it's to make serious money which I'm assuming you do, then study on how to write a real good blog and spend some time writing a real article. Doesn't matter too much on what about, but I try and keep on eye on what's trending. For practice do an introduction or another if you already have, but spend 2-3 days to make it the best you can and see what your results are.

@rem870man Thanks for the advice. Honestly it is not easy to get motivated when you are making pennies out of the large amount of time spent. How do you overcome this challenge?

posting some good quality and interesting content would be a start.
a quick look at your profile doesn't show any post that could trend or a real attempt to make an impact.
you should write about a subject you're passionate about and write it to your best ability. you're competing with 50.000 other bloggers. don't expect free tickets just for participating, that was the case only in the first weeks.

Contents I can easily pay a professional writer to write and have it posted here at $50 per article. But I just want to make sure that the ROI is worth the effort before I put in the money. If I cannot even see $1 made how do I put in money on this platform?

Reading your targets and reply's, i don't think Steemit is what you're looking for @cire81.
Like I told you before, there are way better methods on making money online if that's what you're after.

@steve-walschot Yes that was my thought as well. I am changing towards mining of steem whereby I make 90% of the steem mined compared to 10% shared for posting contents on steemit. Not practical in my point of view and it require less time to mine than to post contents and upvote as I can simply setup an Asic (that cost me less than $500) to get steem which I can convert to alot of steem power. Then I can create a second account and use the high power steem account to upvote on my own posting. This way I would be able to make more $$

If you're on steemit for the money, you've got to be patient and post quality content and the people on here will pick it up. Otherwise, you'll get discouraged easily and demotivated.. You may not earn a lot at first.. but once you post more stuff and people notice you over time, the more you'll make!
Also note: If you're looking to be able to actually get that money that you earn, just realize that it's distributed to you over a long period of time anyhow.. once you finally go to cash out.

I understand that for steem you can convert and transfer anytime. Isn't this the case? Only steem power requires 2 years of login period.

Yes indeed I am not spending too much time here on Steemit of late ever since the earnings start to disappoit me. However I see steemit as a good platform for posting product review and promoting affiliate offers due to the huge traffic sources. What do you think of this idea?

I'm here to network with other musicians, dancers and entertainers who would also like to share genuine earning opportunities.
After a few weeks on Steemit I've realised that probably it's not for me. Most of the people here like long posts either boring or interesting. Creativity is not only writing long posts which many times are very plain and don't transmit any emotions. Don't misunderstand me, I don't want to be rude here but I don't really understand why those posts get so many upvotes.
I came to the conclusion that majority of people here like plain posts full of words. I know that I'm definitely not the best composer alive probably I'm the worst but I would love to see other musicians posting their compositions, artists posting their art or performers posting their videos. I will be the first to upvote their posts.

It is easy. You can either make money by gambling with bad posts or make the best content and get rewarded for it in the long term. Long term is much more appealing to me and I think for everyone here on Steemit since noone will be able to cash out in a short term.

Instead of focusing on why you have not made the money you think you should have made, offer value. Give value to the community, and eventually It will come back to you. Take the necessary time on your post. Try not to be so focused on "The Big Payday!" Hang In there...Just my 2 cents:)

I did give value to the community as much as I can. But it seems that it is not enough. I have upvotes but still poor earnings. :( Disappointed as it seems bulk of the members here find my share useful but not unforutnately the steem power is too low to influence my earnings. :(

@ciro81
I was looking what you have done ( call me stalker), you works a lot, so I will try to say something useful(because you upvote mes alot XD ) and not all this crap they said on other replies (speed reading ok, I may missed something useful)
The problem, I bet, is that you upvote too much, your vote power should be low and because of it you are lowering your curation profit. Maybe I am wrong, check by yourself. But the only way to grow here is buying steem power, but I not this brave to put 100$ in this site the way it is today, so, search and decide by yourself what to do. This advice was free of charges.

@rosevard Yes I work hard to upvote new post that are posted. This is why I am more disappointed when I receive upvotes but zero revenue. I agree with you that it seems that investing money is the only way here to grow steem power.
