Lesson #1. "Some will love and some will curse you baby!" as Bon Jovi once sang. Some folk will love your Steemit posts and comments - they'll be friendly, honest and really open with you. Other will not. Others will accuse you of: flagging, trolling, spamming, scamming, being a bot etc etc...(hell they may even accuse you of watching CP on the Darknet Yup! Someone accused me of that early on! "MUTE!!")
THE BOTTOM $ IS THIS: IGNORE THEM ALL. They don't matter. Your here to create your own blog and do your own thing. Nothing else matters.
Lesson #2. Yes! Your here to create and do your own thing - not to make people understand. Don't be afraid of your own voice. Don't be afraid to connect with other people emotionally on Steemit. Creation is the best human asset we have. Don't sit in silence. Your Steemit blog is a gift. Strut your stuff like a cockerel and defend your Steemit territory! (photo of cockerel defending Steemit territory!)
Lesson #3. Comments, Comments, Comments: This is where the true emotional connections are made on Steemit, in the comments section. I have lots of favourite users that I like to comment on like @bullionstackers @darknet @dakini-don and @ladypenelope1. Build up a good fan base for your blog and the $'s will slowly trickle in.
Lesson #4. Don't come on Steemit expecting to make lots of $'s - you'll FAIL! If you come on here expecting to create the best content you possibly can - then you'll WIN!! Strain every sinew in your body to write the best articles that you possibly can!
Lesson #5. The most important of all: YOU GOTTA HAVE STAYING POWER!! I didn't get my first viral post until I'd composed 1515 posts on Steemit! Can you believe that??
My second viral post came nearly 400 posts later! It takes time to build up a reputation on Steemit, so don't shy away. After having 100 posts sitting there at $0.00 (Yup! I had that too!) it can be so easy to give up. DON'T!!! Keep plugging away. It worked for me!
Finally, please do FOLLOW me if you've enjoyed this post, and feel free to leave any comments below - I promise I will reply. Good luck to all STEEMERS!

Great Post!
I totally agree with EVERYTHING you said. Especially about the comments and not giving up. It is VERY disheartning to spend a lot of energy making a good post expecting it to do good and then make a few cents!
Yet if you just focus on creating quality content with no expectation, then if it does well its EXCITING!!!
I am going to start following you now as it seems like you will be a good person to be connected with.
Steem ON!

Awesome to connect with you here and I hope to find more valuable content from you and hope to be able to post content worthy of your follow!
I have high hopes for this community and feel it is important for us to dedicate our selfs to creating the platform we WANT it to be rather than just accept it as it is.
We are the power~*~

Yes contrast is essential for experience. There is no light without darkness~
I would not say its hard to create good content but it is very difficult to get compensated well for it unless like another comment said (your charlie) hahaha as we both agree we do not want to be him but ourselves yet I would also say we would prefer getting 2k a post no?
