The Secrets to Success on Steemit

simplymike (67) · 6 years ago

Very interesting post, I must say. The tips you’re giving are very solid, and I especially like the quotes you’re using at the end. Struggling my way back up after creating a new account (long story) can be pretty demotivating at times, and sometimes I tend to forget all this. Quotes like that somehow help me to put things in the right perspective again.

It's Not Only About the Money

You couldn’t have been more right. I found out about SteemIt the same way you did: because people in the crypto world talked about it. I did sign up because of the money, but I think it only took me like two weeks to realize that the value of this platform goes way further. I’d be lying if I would say I don’t want to earn here, but it’s incredible how much I’ve learned in just 4 months. Every day, I’ve been learning new skills or I’m improving the ones I already had, and many posts and conversations have given me more knowledge and have contributed to my personal development. It’s not about the money ... not anymore.

Now please excuse me, because I’m taking off to start reading the FAQ. I must admit that I wasn’t aware that they existed, although I’ve been hanging around for a couple of months... :0s

I actually had to go and look up what RTFM meant. I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t as rude as I thought it would be :0)

Anyway, thanks for the good information and the moral support. Really appreciated!

i've been tryna say this to everyone. alot of those people on the trending section get themselves up there by cheating the system tbh and abusing it or gaming it somehow. i always want people on this platform to start low and gain valuable followers who care about your posts or videos(DTUBE). This will probably be the best advice, because when time comes and steemit puts precautions for loopholes, you possibly could be left with a follower base who doesn't give a dime about your posts.

Thank you for the encouraging post @drakos I am also new to steemit and I have never blog in life or even been very active in social platforms. I am still "stuck" on my second post. I did the introduction post (first part at least) and still thinking about what to write for my second. I realize how dumb it may sound to you guys after writing so much, but for someone who is not used to writing, it is huge.

I do appreciate your encouragement to be original and not copy facebook or Instagram by playing the follow me game. I will start meeting new people and network, that's the best thing I can do for now. Thanks

Looking forward to getting to know you guys :)

@drakos Thanks for sharing your knowledge great master!
I also started to get the notion that this place really is not all that much about money, or at least it looks like you have to be in it for the "long-haul" to make any significant rewards. Also it seams like you either have to be "lucky" and get votes from whales or dolphins at an early stage or just be extremely resilient and just keep on going and consequently post quality post after quality post and not expect anything but a few cents as an initial reward for your hard work, the later will take a lot of time and I am sure if you calculate the hourly rate it would not be a very good salary. So to get to the point I believe you are completely right, if one does not enjoy writing, vlogging, replying/writing comments etc, this place is going to be a waste of time. Thanks for a realistic steemit guide!!! Cheers!

Honestly you've given me a 5 star enlightenment. I have to be real here, first time i opened the trending page scrolling down, the amounts earn by Steemians caught my attention alot. I said to myself i could such amount lol.. I drafted an introduction expecting it to trend but to my suprise i made just 0.07 lmao. I was frustrated like for real, kept wondering what went wrong how the trending post stayed trendy, i just couldn't figured it out... Thank God i came across this post today and im going to apply these tips you shared. Thank you for taking your time and energy to create and share this with us. Really, thank you!

But maaaaaaaan my weakest area is chat. I'm not bad at commenting, though, when I finally get around to it.

And don't worry about not being a whale, I think one day the rising price of steem can make you an honorary whale... meaning in a few years, your upvote will be worth what a whale's vote is today ☺

You’re not the only one who’s weakest point is chatting. I have the same problem. I’m not good at it and I don’t like it, so I stay away from it.

silviaturon (46) · 6 years ago

First of all, thank you for an honest post. I am pretty new to Steemit so I appreciate anyone who takes the time and let us, beginners know how to "run the game." The truth is that anytime I sit on my computer in the evening (like right now) and spend time reading and commenting on people's post, it always pays off. I either gain some followers or I make some extra cents for my post next day. So commenting is definitely one of the best ways which have worked for me so far. BTW, I love those few quotes you listed at the end. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

This is a great post by all standard. It all start with passion before you get there. If you don't love what you do along the way you will quit because you are just there for the money. Steemit is not a rich quick scheme, most people don't know it takes time. Nothing good come easy, you need to work really hard. With this post I'm really inspired and I learn a lot from it. I really appreciate this piece.

Definately, will be patient and keep making friends and learning from them. From your post, i have learnt not to rush...its hardwork and consistence

t-belema (39) · 6 years ago

Sometimes it's not just the hard work!!! It's hard work writing good content. It's hard work replying to comment most comments on your post. But guess what I discovered....its about the amount of time you put into steemit. Meeen I talked to one dude n he was all about putting like 12 hrs or more per day on steemit. Fada laaawd! Where I come from data is kinda pricey so u would not want to spend that much time on the internet and for some of us our careers are pressing us for all the time we have !! So drakos, timing is also a factor. Cause u need it to chat n connect with peeps also.

$0.21

drakos (70) · 6 years ago

I'm full time dedicated to Steemit, so are many others. And speaking of timing, indeed it's important. The earlier you adopt it, the better. I think when we reach millions of users, it may be more difficult to shine.

Well said. A lot of great tips here. I have only been with SteemIt for 8 months. I was using it for a few months then stopped and would log in every so often.
I think the hardest part is just getting started and trying to figure out how everything works or doesn't work. And like you said, if you focus on the money part, you will be disappointed.
Just have fun, meet new people, enjoy a new platform that isn't Facebook and have some fun. Enter some contests. You may get lucky.
Thank you for a great post and some great advice.

I must admit that this is one of the no-non-sense posts that I have read regarding how to grow on steemit! There's a lot of content out here for steemit beginners and some are way too unrealistic for small fishes like me! And the bots and whale stuff simply complicates it more!

Your post will definitely help me to stay motivated, keep my eyes on the content and not the figures appearing on the trending posts!

Thanks a lot for the content! :) Followed :)

harleymechanix (61) · 6 years ago

RTFM I get people all the time asking how to fix their bike. The info is there. If you try first and put forth the effort and still need some explanation, I am more than willing to help out. If you don’t do a 2 second google search and just want to be spoon fed.......well.........

Connect with people is the absolute best advice. You have to get involved and make those relationships and yourself memorable. Comment comment comment.

Thanks for a well written, concise yet informative post.

This is incredibly simple advice, but it's not easy.

I do my best to stay consistent and post quality content; comment all the time and help people with their concerns. I've had some big post payouts, but mostly not big. The minimum has been going up slowly over time.

Would you say your climb was steady, or more fits and starts?

drakos (70) · 6 years ago

I started from the bottom like everyone, with only the delegated 30 SP from Steemit. It's been slow and steady at the beginning, but I put a lot of effort into Steemit and I'm grateful for what I gained in return, 7 months later :)

I have like ZERO social media skills... actually my social skills are kind of lame too, and maybe that's a good thing. hey, what the hay ['with all this hay and horseshit there's gotta be a pony around here somewhere'].

maybe that's another potential tip: don't leave ambling pointless comments... ha-ha, it is tempting to be the clown though ! (a rodeo clown perhaps ?)

In that way it can add to your topics of expertise..😀

Awesome piece - I pretty much screwed up on all of those when I started. I have noticed this year that the steemit system gives you what you give it. I didnt touch mine long periods of time and didn't get any $1000 posts - LOLZ, it's because I wasn't posting.
One of the hardest things I find to do is making connections - this year is off to a way better start than last year that's for sure.

tryskele (64) · 6 years ago

Thank you @dragos. Very sound advice and very well put together. I agree with everything you've said. Looking at the Trending page makes someone like me cringe. Really agreeing with the FB menatlity. I seem to get a lot of that being at a much lower rep.

I think the hardest part is finding the niche and being consistent with it. I have a few things I am very passionate about I know I should stick with those and then grow in time. I guess I am expecting too much out of myself rather than being completely happy with what I have done.

I admit, I've done a few posts as a 'let's throw it out there and see that it sticks' I realized I'm not big enough for that yet. The post has given me a little different prespective. (And yes I have read the FAQ a couple of times. I think a few more, I might have it memorized LOL )

This post should be put along with the FAQ or the Welcome Page of Steemit. This is a sort of a tutorial post outlining the ways of success in Steemit.

Patience, Perseverance, Consistency and the Efforts on your post should be always on your mind everyday when you are on Steemit.

Treat this as a business where you invest your writing skills, the content which put out everyday, scheduling your content roadmap. I agree with you that networking is necessary. People don't know you so you must go out there and network with them.

I had resteemed and upvoted your posts so that my followers can be aware of this.

Hi @drakos. What you mentioned above is so true. Most of the time people who join steemit, will want to do the short cuts.

Thank you for a great article . We all need reminders to stay grounded to our true selves.

People will always find a way to exploit a good thing. I agree that we all can't be whales on our own but that's the secret power of a community.

As the communities grow stronger on steemit they will poses the power that the whales have. So as long as the majority continues to be their authentic selves and the laws of attraction don't fail LOL communities will rebalance things out.

I feel like you are my steemit dad because you helped me so much in getting set up. Now you are writing great articles like this.

I don't know what witness voting is, but I will look into it. Since I am brand-spanking-new would it even matter who I voted for. Should I wait until I've been doing steem a little bit more?

Thank you for this informative post. I am still working on consistency and finding my voice but I'm trying to enjoy the process. I am guilty of only partially reading the FAQ (I had to look up RTFM LOL) so I'm going to get back to it.

This indeed a very informative post. Sharing this to newbies like me. Great tips and real informative.

First of all, you can't be like me, or anyone else for that matter. Each person has their own ways to success.

This is the part I love the most. True to everyone, it's really up to the person as to how they'll define success.

Thanks for sharing this.

very helpful, I really would not aspire to be like them because I want more than that, surpassing them with our own ability, in my religion (islam) it is forbidden (begging) that's why I did not do it
