Protocols For A Better Steemit

My 2018 MANIFESTO

Protocol 1 ~Consideration

Consider that people come to Steemit for several reasons, yet we all come for one reason, that is to get paid for our posts.

Show consideration and respect for all Steemians and the work they do. And consider that we all come from different backgrounds and walks of life. Let us work to always find common ground.

Encouragement goes out to all to stand strong, weather all the storms in your life on and off Steemit. 

Push through and keep going. You will see better days and profits if you stay consistent and no matter what DON’T GIVE UP!

Know that the things that you don’t like or that you absolutely don’t agree with do exist.

Know what and where they are and maneuver around them. Look at them as an obstacle course. If you have the power to bring change go for it. If you do not save your time and energy.

I offer an alternative suggestion, because all writers look for content, turn this energy or these situations that would get you down or cause you to have a very bad day if you let them, into writing. Don’t get mad, Write a book about it, or a post or a poem or a song. As I am sure you have heard the saying, “when life gives you lemons make lemonade.”

The Steemit Investors'- 

From the investors' point of view, they look to see the best content possible. 

They want to see that their investments are going to good use, which is why we should continue to  developing our best quality content. It’s about investments that will be turned into more and more profits. 

Which is something we all want.

Here on Steemit we have been given an opportunity to express our gifts and talents in a crypto world and be a part of this new evolution of cryptocurrency. And apart of all things Steemit which is still very young. We can grow from ground zero up right along with Steemit. 

There are many programs such as Minnow Support in place to help new Minnows to grow and move forward. 

And as for the Dolphins and Whales, they worked to get to where they are. And they show us daily that anything is possible.  And it gives the rest of us hope, and a goal to work towards. I encourage all to read and follow some Dolphins and Whales to discover how they make it do what it do.

Hat’s off to the CEO’s and The Owners, the creators and visionaries of Steemit whose job it is to look to the future and make choices to keep Steemit evolving and growing. It's their job to discover the answer to questions such as, how can Steemit be better? What will benefit the platform, what invention and innovations, can and will be allowed to connect/partner with Steemit.

And then there are the Programmers and Technicians on Steemit, the ones you may not see or often hear from, that keep Steemit running. They are hands, on working long hours and being continually on call. Much thanks to all of them.

Protocol#2 – Have A Plan and make Intentions For That Plan

This is your life don’t play around with what you are doing here. These are precious and valuable moments of your life so make the best use of it.

First, decide what you want to do on Steemit. You have a varity of choices such as to  write, take pictures, do videos, cook food and display pics, travel, etc. All categories mentioned has yielded much success to different Steemian.

Protocol #3 Quality Content, Passion, Focus & Drive

Put your energy of passion behind creating quality content. 

Don’t get distracted by always looking around at how much more upvotes, SBD and Steem others have. Be confident and DO YOU! Dig deep and find that drive within yourself to keep going and create the time and space to rid yourself of all distractions so that you can work and stay focused as you create your masterpieces!

Protocol #4 Get Involved

Take part in some of the Contest/competitions & challenges on Steemit.

I was so timid about doing this when I first came on Steemit 5 months ago. But when I won my first contest. I woke up everyone in the house (I think also in the building) and no one had to convince me to join the next one. I have won 3 contest and received as much as $40.00 in upvotes, on a post I entered that I did not win. It’s the thrill of the competition and the extra energy you get from the collective whole of all who are participating with you. Getting involved can be a lot of fun. 

Protocol #5 – Think and Act as ‘WE’ Not ‘I’

Anything can be accomplished and anything is possible when we think as a collective/group/team of  Steemians. 

Make friends by commenting on their post and following them.

Protocol #6 – Give, Give, Give!

It is my goal to create a brand for myself to be able to do just this. It is my goal to have more than enough to give to and help others.         

I am throwing down the gauntlet to all Steemians!

 And it doesn’t cost you nothing to think about it or reply. (And I hope you do.)

What’s your unique brand going to be for 2018 that will up your profits on Steemit?

And last but not least two more ways we can all give as Steemians

Reply- This we can all do more of. For me, what you think of what I wrote is just as valuable if not greater, than a upvote. I need to know that I’m not just writing a journal and talking to myself.

 And I don’t mean a one or two, word comment. Reply and express how the post made you feel. What it made you think about. And/or in what way did it help you.

I must say that the comments I have received from my post from people all over the world I will cherish a lifetime.

Resteem- Let us help others get more eyes on their post. Resteem the work of others. I have seen others that have been led to my blog because they saw my resteemed post on another Steemians blog. Every effort of giving helps, especially when we do so from the heart.
