37 STEEMIT posts with $0.00 in Revenue...WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Growing quite frustrated with how this works. You post stuff, you up-vote other peoples stuff, you comment on other peoples stuff. It seemed pretty simple, and I even made a few cents of a few post but what do I do now? Maybe I am not the sharpest knife in the draw so could someone dumb down the process of how I am supposed to make $$$ on the platform?

Ikr! I joined this week, but I've seen quality posts get nothing. Would appreciate help from anyone.

Please check out my advice to @jiganomics or this post for the best advice that I can offer. Hopefully, it'll help.

Will check it out thanks!

You are welcome. Hopefully it helps. I currently have 187 followers and a reputation score of 64. Though I'm still not sure how that is possible, I can share how I think those things happened. Let me know if you can glean anything from that post!

Thanks buddy. Definitely will!

You Are welcome, and Best Wishes as you continue!

same with me. it seems you may need to be popular already lol

How could @tomjones not be popular?!?!?! LOL!

because you're not following me

Point taken.

My friend you have 6 followers... well 7 now but still. I have 33 followers and I make nothing from what I post. Well I say nothing LOL I dont really post much at the moment (Goddamn I need to work less hours).

Anyway I digress, you need to just keep plugging away at it brother! Also longer posts with catchy titles, as I for one am very easily distracted and need catchy titles and shiny pictures to draw my attention.

And (please don't take offence to this as none is meant) you will need to get up to speed on better ways to layout text, there are looooaaads of posts about that on here, a block of text can be difficult to get your head around.

I do like what you're putting out though and I'd never seen a post by you until now, so chin up and keep it up... You have a new follower.

No offense taken. But what do you mean by "Layout text" and "Block of text". Im not a writer, i'm a fishermen so i dont know these blogger terms. and thanks for advice

1st thing to do is follow me 2nd upvote all my post and my comments in post's and then we will earn :) happy earning

If my upvotes were worth more than 1 cent each, you could get paid something just for having me upvote it. However, I am not "worth that much" around here when it comes to voting. A lot of this is hit and miss. I would work on building relationships and gaining followers.

If you want, check out THIS POST I made once I reached 100 followers. It has some good advice in it, plus links to four other articles that also offer some great advice.

Personally, I like what you are up to and wish that I could somehow encourage you more.

I appreaciate it. I'm going to check out your links.

Let me know if there is anything else I can offer as far as help.
If you like Super-Hot Peppers, I could mail you some so you can enter papa-peppers Super-Hot Pepper Challenge and maybe win some STEEM. Otherwise, check out my Yogart post from this morning. The first three replies to that with a picture of some "yogart" each get 1 STEEM Token. I know those things may not help with getting more for your posts, but they could put some STEEM in you pocket anyway.

I feel your pain. I'm on the same path. Perhaps my tiny up-vote can in some small way assuage your frustrations
