Want To Be A Steemillionaire? Here Are The Crucial Things To Do For Newbies on Steemit

in steemit •  8 years ago 

The real ways:

  • Be famous already
  • Be someone that can bring more people to steemit from other sites.
  • Catch the attention of a whale or bot (hard to do if you don't fit into the first 2).

Ya, and if you aren't those things, follow the tips above and work hard. Really, if you don't have a following on other social media sites already, why would you expect you would have one here?

work hard

Damn dude, that single comment was cold, in a posting that was otherwise really, really good. Hope you have flame proof undies on. Nothing personal, but the audience you're talking about there? You may have just lost them with that single comment.

Lots of people here have HUGE followings here and only here. Check out @stellabelle and @dana-edwards even @dantheman and @smooth for instance.

This place is really, really tiny, but also very rich.
It was also created and mostly populated by people who generally shun social media.

Most of us are a bit aspergery (know I am at least) and don't usually participate in these things. For many people here, this is their first social media exposure outside of bitcointalk or the bitshares forum.

You just got trolled and ended up dissing the entire community in the process. Give it a rethink, very few of us were the popular kids in school, most of us call that a point of pride because it means our friendships were deep and real, which is why most don't do so well on social media.

Sounds like you totally missed his point. I'm pretty certain he was simply saying that a following doesn't just spring out of thin air. Not here, and not on other social media sites either. It has to be earned through much effort and dedication (including following the steps he laid out). There are no short cuts. Unless you're just a supernatural talent. We certainly have some of those around here.

Thank you so much! The funny thing is, williamback is "alienating" me much more than Jeff with his borderline menace of him being trolled now. I did not perceive any "coldness" by Jeff, just some basic facts.

@fabio Really? Am I coming off that way? I was unaware of that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll be more careful in the future. It's not intended to be a troll, and it's not intended to be stalking. It's intended to be constructive criticism while speaking my mind and I assume that the upvotes are other folks nodding in agreement. Which is how I gauge how I've been doing.

If I'm coming off any other way, then I'm doing it wrong. Either way thanks, I'll check myself going forward.

I would expect a more humble attitude from any human being especially in a community of so many creative people who have more valuable things to say with more depth and soul

Maybe, but the thing I like about steemit is the quality content, I've already found some interesting people I'd never know otherwise. Their content is amazing, and even if they don't get a lot of money right now it's okay.

Steemit could be a huge success, but it also could be a huge failure, either way I'm glad to see the concept being developed. Just stay consistent and someday when you get famous (:D) you will have a library of everything you wrote. Even if you don't it's a great way to exercise writing, and that's a very useful skill.
