Introduction

Steemit is an amazing platform, not because it pays (of course it is!), but because of the opportunity to meet new people ( Hi, I'm an introvert). But steemit can be taxing if you want to become big on this platform.

Steemit is the type of platform that will reward you, if you put in the work and there is no doubt about that. However putting in the work is where I fell behind. For 11 days straight and posting 2 or 3 times a a day, it was very taxing. Because I had a deadline and a "need" not a "want" to post.

Need

When I "need" to post I am basically forcing myself to come up with something when I don't have any idea. This drains you mentally, because for some people it doesn't enhance your creativity when you push your mind. It just tires it out to the point where you feel like you don't know what to do next.

Want

When I "want" to post, I want to do it because that is what I desire. People follow their desires a LOT! because desires when achieved gives a sense of happiness/relief. I feel good about posting, because I desired to do it. Not because the world "needed" me to but "I desire myself to". (See where am coming from?)

Conclusion

Guys it's tough to keep up with steemit, when it comes to posting, but he warned DO NOT! Make this a chore or a job. Enjoy this platform like any other, however don't come into this thinking of making money tomorrow or being someone big on steemit tomorrow. It takes time and effort to do this and it certainly is challenging, but kinda a worth it in the end.
