How I made $40,894.97 Blogging On Steemit

kaylinart (75) in steemit • 8 years ago (edited)

I wouldn't exactly consider myself an expert like some of the people on here. I don't fully understand every aspect on Steemit, But for you newbies! It's highly recommended that you do as much research as possible. Understand the whole spectrum of Steemit! I learn more everyday!

Post, Post and Post Some More

Write about interesting things that have happened in your life, The good, The bad! Anything that people may find interesting!
What do you know a lot about? Write about that!
If you are an expert on fishing, Show us your photos! Write about how others can learn to fish, Write about your experiences with fishing, And why you fell in love with it!
Post tips, Or things that will add to peoples life.
What do you know that others may not? Post it! Create quality content that will improve the life of others, Everyone has something to share.

Experiment, Experiment, Experiment.

Don't look at every post in the financial aspect. Use those numbers to figure what went well and what didnt.

Did you double check for typos?
Did you do formatting to make your article attractive?
Is this subject not yet popular on Steemit?

Try other subjects you are good with, And write about those. See what does best.
Although keep in mind...

What does well today, May not do well tomorrow

Things are constantly changing at Steemit, that is the beauty of it, Explore, expand and grow on your wonderful ideas!

Add Photos/Videos

Many people dont' seem to sit down and read a big long book, We like to read stuff that is

Fun
Easy
Full of photos!
Post original photos that you have taken! They don't have to be perfect, You don't have to be a photographer, Just take photos with your smartphone and make it look gorgeous!

Upvote quality content

See something that deserves recongnition? Be sure to upvote it. You get paid a when you upvote content, In addition to writing your own stuff! Try to upvote stuff thats new, That may not have a lot of upvotes.

Don't post garbage

This is NOT a Get Rich quick scheme!

Do your best to only post high quality content, Don't steal articles on the web, Or other peoples work here on Steemit. This website is about building a reputation. If you ruin your name, People may ignore you in the future. Take the time with every post to make it wonderful!
People make a lot of money who post lots of good content Constantly and they are also Consistent
It's going to take a ton of work, But it will be worth it in the end. You probably waste hours on Facebook everyday, Instead use that time on Steemit and get PAID!
Sometimes you may post something you feel you deserve a lot for, And it may not make very much, This happens sometimes.
Besides, How much money have you made from Facebook? Reddit? Twitter? Instagram? Snapchat?
Did you say 0.00?
Yeah.. thats what I thought!

Have fun

Read and enjoy the posts from others! Practice your writing abilities, Have fun! This site is new, Interesting and super exciting! You are now apart of a wonderful community that is growing quickly! Be proud!

One Day Steemit Will Rule The WORLD!

Though you advocate not posting garbage, it should be said that "one man's garbage is another man's gold" -- ie a makeup v.blog is garbage to me (no offense) it just doesn't interest me at all. However I do like that you say "This is NOT a Get Rich quick scheme!" I think a lot of newcomers to the site are being drawn by the idea that they might make it rich, write a few clever posts and get upvoted to the moon to then retire... which of course is not going to be the case for many people. With that said, I think you nailed the idea that people shouldn't change their behavior to suite what they think the community wants, and instead continue putting out well written content that they are passionate about.

I agree
"Some mans garbage is another man's gold"

But even though the Makeup blog was garbage to you, She worked hard on the video, it was high quality.
She took time on it, I feel like women were helped by her video. I don't consider it "Garbage" in general, You just have different interests than her :)

You don't have to be a professional! Start by brain storming on a notepad, Write a huge list of everything that has happened in your life, Or things you can write about. Then pick one, and write it.
What are your hobbies?
Do you like writing fiction? Share it!
Do you like cooking? Share your favorite recipes!
If you like to paint! Show me your art!

Everyone has something to share :)

That's not really easy for me to achieve. I am a full time carer for my father who has a broken back and on top of that i am pretty much a full time father to my 10 month old little girl. Getting out there and making an interesting life is not all that easy with my situation.

Here are some Ideas you could write about Nrgwolf,

What is it like raising your daughter? For people who may not have kids.
How did you break your back? What did you learn from the experience?
Maybe you could offer tips to new parents, And things you learned from your 10 month old daugher.
Your a caretaker for your father? What Is that like?
How do you balance your father and your 10 month old daughter? (Taking care of them)

There are some ideas to get you started on writing posts!

write about your experiences as a carer in fact i'd say it's vital you do so. So many people have no idea how difficult and isolating it can be and it will be good for you to have an outlet for your frustrations and a place to share the good moments.
Are you based in the UK? if so are you fully accessing the support available to you? getting a carers assessment is a vital first step to accessing the best support for your needs you'll find more info on the carers uk website

I joined just about 5 days ago and in that time I have come to learn a lot! Like - A LOT, A LOT. And yet I feel like I have discovered only about 0.01 % of Steem.

It is so full of potential and so interesting that you actually want to do things, create content, promote other people's content, curation and a lot lot more.

Frankly the time I spent on other social media platforms has reduced to about 1%. And I hope that goes down to 0! hehe. Anyways thanks for sharing this and good luck for the future! :)

Wow. Great story, there is a learning curve to the average joe for adding the video, pics, and style to the post. It's not impossible by no means, but new people starting out and coming to Steemit will have to learn. I have a cheap Godaddy hosting account and can FTP photos and videos to my own site. I think this helps. Thanks for the post. Good luck Kaylinart.

kaylinart (75) · 8 years ago

True! There are posts out there that will help you format your posts! I may write one in the future!
Thats good that you can have your photos and videos from your site! You can also use websites like Flickr and photobucket for that.

It happens to me too and everyone else :)
That is why you can't "keep all your eggs in one basket"
Even with just one post :) Talk about other things and share more ideas. Everytime you press the publish button you take a risk, But I feel like it's worth it no matter what. Even if you don't get a big payout, I feel like people will read it eventually and your post may help them somehow! That keeps me motivated even when a post doesn't do well.
