I have spent 6 months on this platform, 2 of which I was extremely sick and didn’t post anything but still steemit has changed my life completely for good since the first week I found it !! This article is inspired by @tarazkp’s post Work: your golden ticket to waste which made me realize why there is no reason to whine but instead feel blessed to find this platform. Here is how my life changed through steemit it and how you can changes yours too :-
1. Earn huge money !! :-
Of course. This was the reason that brought you here isn’t it? But wait, there is something that you don’t know yet. You won’t be able to earn HUGE in the beginning. In fact, sometimes you won’t earn AT ALL!! So don’t ever count your monthly income here when u begin. Just know that it will take time. Also, DON’T compare yourself with others. Some people grow rapidly, some grow slowly and steadily. Just be you and don’t hurry. Things will happen someday. Enjoy the journey until then 😎.
2. A friend in need is a friend indeed !!
You can’t just post here and then expect upvotes (unless you are friends with a whale already). No matter how amazing you write or how awesome your content is. If you don’t make friends here, you CAN’T grow.
Steemit has given me some amazing friends. I always thought that one should not make or trust friends on a social media platform. I mean, how can you trust someone just by chatting with them. In today’s era one cannot even trust their family members (well sometimes). But no, my believes were all proven wrong !! I have found some people here that are even better friends then those whom I made offline. Universe chooses weird ways to make people meet. It shouldn’t really matter where you met them. So befriend like minded people here. You can find those who write about the same stuff as you do and connect with them. Not just for steemit, but for yourself, for your life.
3. Upgradation :-
Steemit not only helped me improve my mistakes but also taught me how to be a perfect writer. It taught me what changes to make in the format, in the structure, how to keep the reader bound to read till the end, how to make them engage, vote and share. I knew how to write, every literate person knows that but these things that I learnt here by reading other’s content are no less then a jewel. Steemit will help you upgrade to a better version of yourself. It is important to not get noticed in the beginning because it will force you to furnish your articles. Money is important but what’s more important and permanent is the skill set that you will receive here through learning. It is important to READ before you write.
Steemit helped me become a better writer. I would ask you as well to Grab this opportunity instead of complaining.
4. See the mirror that steemit shows you -
Steemit will tell you what you are !! It will break your over confidence if you have any or it will boost your talents if you have any by bringing it in front of you. Sometimes the posts that I believe won’t earn much exceeds the dollars I expected and those that I thought is going to do huge makes me rethink my writing skills.
Steemit will help you understand the areas where you lack and vice versa. Work on them and make yourself better day by day instead of just WANTING more and more votes all the time.
5. You will learn how to be patient :-
As I said, it takes time to grow here but growth is assured if you don’t give up. People in the real life today are being more and more impatient. We all want quick results, quick money. Steemit taught me how to be patient which again helped me become a better person.
I don’t need to tell why being patient is very important in our life. People loose big opportunities, loved ones, relationships and what not just because of being impatient. I didn’t sell my steem at all and then they jumped from 1$ to 10$ !! All the impatient people suffered by selling them off quickly. So keep patience and keep steeming.
6. Steemit is an ocean of ideas :-
I see people posting crap on their walls. What they saw when they went to the market, pictures of sunset when they ain’t no photographer, photos of flowers with no original content, copied jokes and such non valuable posts. *I understand that everyone can’t be a writer but you can all be a better reader !! If for a moment you would stop begging for votes and start reading other’s content, I am sure you will have amazing ideas and opinions which you can share with us instead of those worthless posts.
When I finally decided to take steemit as my permanent work and writing as my profession, my mom asked me if I was sure. She asked from where would you bring so much content to write about? And my answer was by keep on reading. There are so many talented writers on steemit and if you are a reader (and a human), you can have opinions !! That’s it!! You get your next article there!
7. You will learn the art of being attractive :-
No no, this ain't instagram where you can flaunt your selfies to grab some votes. To be attractive on steemit, you need your words to be attractive, not your face !! I wasn’t good at socialising when I came here. Steemit taught me the art of making friends. You will have no choice at the end but to make friends to grow on steemit. It is important to stay united in this platform. Individually, you ain’t s**t. 😛
Some way or the other, you will learn how to make conversations on steemit. If you don’t know how to do it, you will learn, research and keep on trying !! This is how another skill will be added to your list 😁
8. Taste failure to taste success :-
It is very important to fail many times to be successful in our lives. Steemit will help you in this once again. Being successful in the first time might boost your ego and won’t allow you to feel other people’s pain at their bad times !! It can turn you into one selfish being full of pride.
Steemit teaches you many lessons, one of which is that we need to fail many times to really understand how success feels like and to truly enjoy success when it approaches. Struggle has its own joy and importance so if you are a struggler here on steemit, be happy instead of being sad. Enjoy the journey.
UPVOTE AND RESTEEM TO LET ME KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS ARE WAITING FOR THE NEXT PART !!

@jamesford, I would say, write about two to three topics that you love, let's say: criptos, food and nature. Your posts can be of value to others, especially if you have experience in any field. Sometimes we assume people already know what we know, and that is not true, everyone has something unique to share. Start posting and see what the community likes the most. Don't wait any longer, make it happen! You have nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain :)

You make some very good points here, and I admire the work put in - plenty of content and you make good use of animated graphics to emphasise points. Our mutual friend @nainaztengra said to me that community and networking was the key to growth - and she is of course perfectly correct. And that community can take many forms, making friends, commenting and sharing on others work - supporting those struggling that you feel deserve the help - sometimes the smallest acts can make you the biggest and most fierce allies. I would say I enjoy a varied range of posts, and many people I follow can pull off a post with just a photo a few lines no problem - because they can take an amazing photo and it speaks ten chapters of text. Equally I have been amazed to discover great works of writing, @mistress lists the developing novel Mistress of Magic: Morgan's First Apprentice by @techslut and it's honestly made me remember why I enjoyed reading books when I was young.

Exactly !! Steemit taught me to read again !! I used to read novels when I was a teenager. I left it long back due to a busy life but now it again became a habit.
and yes, some photos speaks a lot but i agree. I appreciate photographers but sometimes people just put photos because they don't want to write. Their photography tells if it was done from heart, or for formality.
Thanks for your support all along :D

You're right with all your points!
Almost everyone signs up for "huge money", and that includes most of the whales, who might already be holding some big coins. As you post regularly you do tend to become a much better writer, especially after knowing what works and what doesn't - the hard way.
The biggest lesson is indeed patience! I wrote about it some time ago in my post, Steemit Teaches You One Of The Greatest Virtues
I'm staying tuned for part 2! :-)

I said it earlier in my reply to your comment at Adsactly, that I had a feeling that I might be able to learn a thing or two from you. I ended up learning 15! You're amazing. You write beautifully and from the words you wrote, there is no doubt that you are a very observant person. Of course, even in sales, people buy from you, first because they like you, then they buy again because they trust you, not because of your dazzling sales speech or your expensive teeth and certainly not because of your perfect dentition.
A basic need of humans is the need to connect and there is no better way to do that than to dig in and find something beautiful within each person you meet and show it to them, making them see that you see it too. They walk away saying, "That woman/man is nice."
Not really, you only made them feel nice. In summary, success on steemit, social media and life is based on the realization that Life is not about you. It is about us. Everyone
I mean, think about it: If you post good content, eventually people would find it and when they do, they would feel bad that they did not find you earlier. They would call their friends and loved one, "Come and see." If you sit waiting for people to come, no one will because everyone has their troubles.
It is true that people are selfish and unkind but what happens when you go all out to help one of those selfish and unkind person? Somehow, they begin to see you as an extension of themselves. I am preaching to the choir here, obviously. But what I am saying is, beautiful post: I can totally relate.
Well done!

Thanks church boy. But there are only 8 points above, not 15 :P others are on its way.
Your name symbolizes so much about your mindset, I like it :)
I am sure you learned more then I wrote in my article. Your words speak so.
I post content with all my efforts into it. I sometimes know that almost no one will read it. And most of the time no one does. They still vote seeing the length of the post but I still give it my best because if only 1 person would read it, my words would actually make a big difference in his/her life.
Selfish people also can be won by being selfless. but sometimes they try to exploit us even more. I then try to stay away from them and help those who truly deserve it. It's just how I think. There are always people who DESERVE help and some who don't.
Thanks for the amazing comment. Followed you :)

Thank you. Yes you are right. There are only 8 but I did not count. Yes, not many people read the posts because not many people read. Those people who love to read, sometimes, do read. I could see the amount of effort you put in your writing because only such effort could make posts easy to read.
And yes, I have reflected on these things about steemit on my own and most of what I wrote in my previous comment were my own conclusions about the nature of things here. Having said that, I must add that steemit seems fairer than life itself. Here, you have to care somehow, or at least pretend to care or else you're easily forgotten. In life, most people can do just fine without caring or pretending to care.
You are right again that some people deserve help and others don't. The way I see it though, is that help rendered to those who do not deserve it is wasted on them because there are surplus of those who do.
Oh, and I'm only churchboy because I live beside a church. If I knew I would be spending this much time on Steemit, I would have chosen steemboy. Now I'm stuck with churchboy because I'm sure steemboy is taken :)
Thank you for taking the time to reply my comment, for checking out my blog and for the awesome support. And thanks for not holding it against me the fact that I read the post you haven't posted yet :)

I've actually influenced a few other people around me to start posting on Steemit. Some of them dropped out shortly after, because they were expecting to earn lots and lots of money after their first 2 posts. They thought that they will, by magic, become popular and get lots of upvotes, even though I explained to them that it's not that simple.

Just found your series here and started reading. You make some valid points. Failing is easy. All you have to do to fail is give up.
succeeding is hard. If it was easy to be successful we would all be rich. Remember the1% rule. To be successful you might have to write 100 articles just to get that one that explodes.
You might have to look at 100 companies before you find the one that is right for you.
So many people give up before they even begin. The go out and try something new and get turned down by people and even by family members and after being rejected a few times they just give up.
Be patient and enjoy the journey.

This is great advice. To be honest, I do find myself getting frustrated. I feel like I am not getting the results that I should but at the same time, I am enjoying the process of improving my blogging skills. I came from an engineering background, so my style of writing might be too technical at first. I am learning and actually enjoy the process of creative writing.
As a native English speaker, I realized that I don't put enough time into improving my own lexical resources and style. This platform allows me to have fun making pretty photos and writing in a way that engages people. I have had success, thanks to curie, but now that my reputation is higher, I am expected to up my game. That isn't a problem for me. I want to find ways to improve every post but other times I really do wish I got my eyes on my posts.
I've invested a fair bit of money because I do believe in this platform. I guess it'll just take time.

I bumped into your article at a Discord channel. I'm glad I took the time to read it. Your making some good points there.
SteemIt is changing my life too. I never used to be a community person, but these last couple of weeks it feels like I'm sucked in... and i don't even mind. There's some great community power going on in here.
Also, I've always been kind of a loner in my online life. But here on SteemIt, I notice that lots of people are reaching out, and I find myself interacting with them pretty often. I never thought I would be able to do this.
SteemIt has become a full-time job. Not because it has to be, but because I want it to be :0)
The only thing that's worrying me these days is the giant in-stream of new people who just start posting crap, without taking the time to educate themselves. Sometimes I'm scrolling the tag streams and it seems impossible to find a quality post. With the prices of SBD and Steem this high, more and more people are going to sign up and 90% of them is going to start posting crap... I'm a bit worried that this will eventually lead to the death of this platform...

I don't remember how or why I ended up here in your post, but as you know that's also part of this wonderful platform, magical things happen, yes magical.
One of the things I kinda hate here on Steemit (and I know you will feel familiar with the feeling too) is when you read something from someone and it's really cool and you actually enjoyed it but there is no almost no way of just saying "thanks for sharing" and not looking like vote begging or just plain random commenting, and the feeling goes evn bigger when you are not a writer or content creator BUT, and then it comes this huge BUT, is that whenever you start commenting and you truly liked the post (as it happened to me) the connection between you and the post starts flowing, ideas come and you connect SOMEHOW with the OP.
Don't know maybe it's just me, but honestly, I am no writer, I am a businessman, an investor but its totally true when you said "Steemit will help you upgrade to a better version of yourself." it's is so true at least for me.
Anyways, great post, keep them coming and I think you forgot to link the gifts in your post.

I find this post to be very helpful in every sense,i joined steemit through a friend and i just wanted to make it big on a very fast terms but it don't work like that,i haven' been here for more than two weeks and i got over 300 posts which is insane,i typically just comment on anything and that took out the quality of my work which may be what's affecting my bandwidth limit,it just goes from negative to positive every now and then.
I saw this link via discord and the caption was nice very nice in fact and that was what led me here and i've learnt few things from here,thanks alot and i will be watching out for the part two.

Hi @himshweta Thanks for your thoughtful words. I am also around since last September and "keeping on keeping on". My main postings are photographs and generally that does not really create much engagement and few votes and comments.
I would like to write more. Though for me it will need a re-ordering of my practice.
I have spent forty years in the corporate world writing, documents, memos, procedures, presentations and training courses.
That doesn't fit me well for the blogging style.
So I have some work to do. Any thoughts you have would be welcome.

This is absolutely spot on.
I am new to steemit, and believe it or not, not for the money.
Although there is a certain attraction to it of course ;)
I love these tips. I can totally relate to it and it is a nice set of "game rules" to start with.
Love to see that you are here for only 6 months and already make this kind of lay out articles.
I hope to learn and evolve on this platform which struck me as " more mature than any other platform I know"
And that is what kept me here after making my account.
Hope to see and of course read more from you, and again, thanks for sharing these insights with us.
Glad to be on board on the steemit train

I'm so lucky I get to read this post. I'm a new member here and every article or blog I write is somehow unnoticed and unappreciated. I felt discourage from time to time. I keep in mind that my introductory post was somehow appreciated and i guess i need to improve my writing skills or my art skills more so i wont go unnoticed again. But heyyy, failure lurks just around the corner. If ever i have something to post, sometimes, i doubt if i should post it or not. Im thinking if its a post worth checking or reading, or just another crap in their feeds. Reading this post made me realize that im just not the only one struggling to sharpen their skills. It gave me confidence that its okay to have a very slow start. What's important is the process on how we improve ourselves until such time, we'll get benefit from it. Thank you very much for this post!

Thanks so much for sharing, great thoughts there! The only thing I feel I differ a bit from is the money reason. It is not the first reason for me at all. I mean, yeah, if I can eventually make some money, that is great but from the start I decided I wasn't going to cash out before a year on Steemit. On the contrary, I actually invested a little bit of my personal money because I believe so much in the platform. I am more focused on how to build a following & retain their fidelity through great quality posts. I agree with the fact that Steemit can help us become better writers, if that is what we really want (I do!). And for the networking? I totally agree with you. It is not easy to swim through the ocean of Steemit as a Minnow all by itself, we gotta group up and help each other as a community! Also, reading and commenting articles is so important, like you say. I carve out an hour each day for that and I can already see positive results.

But you are going to thank me after reading this thread"... well it resonated with me after posting my own article there. Saw I took the bait and came here LOL
So to you guys out there #Postpromotiosn can help :)
Anyway, @himshweta this is one of the most valuable and helpful articles since I have been here for the last 6 weeks.'

Been on here for about a month as a content producer and I couldn't agree with you more. Points 4, 6 and 7 especially. People who jump into Steemit with the goal of making money right off the bat will never make it, they will be broken. But, those who come to build with others, those are the ones that succeed. It will take time, no doubt.
The last 30 days have been some of the most interesting I've ever experienced in many ways. I've found a community that cares, put out more content on a regular basis than I ever have before, and been inspired to work even harder to grow. Where else can you go and do that?
This was a great article, and I look forward to reading the next part. Thanks for posting and be well! :)

This post is really inspiring. It inspired me so much.
I joined steemit last year but I am not that active. I am afraid to post something because I am afraid that others won't like my entry. But after reading this I feel so refreshed.
I've decided to be an active steemian just this week and posted 3 entries where I got low upvote or no vote at all. I got sad but when I read your article about being patient, now i am determined to grow and to learn more and hope to be as good as you are :)
Please cheer for me till then :)

Being new to this platform and just "blogging" in general has been a steep learning curve for me. I strongly believe in this platform and it is up to us to keep the framework together.

Muy bueno, concuerdo mucho contigo. Soy venezolana y steemit llegó a mi vida en un momento crítico en la economía de mi país, al principio lo vi como una entrada más de dinero, pero tal como tú lo dices en tu artículo, he conocido mucha gente que me ha ayudado a crecer en la comunidad de steemit, personalmente y profesionalmente. Además que me ha ayudado a mejorar en la escritura de mis temas y a desarrollar mi creatividad, aunque ya en Venezuela con todo lo que estamos viviendo ya nos hemos convertido en supercreativos.
