This post is the best! Seriously. This is the thing i was explaining to my Friend yesterday!
She sometimes feels bad because her posts don't make anything (she's a newbie).
Usually when I resteem her posts they make around 10.00 Which isn't bad.
But I was explaining to her, That if the price goes to 4.00 it's basically like she made 40.00 for that post.

I also love that we have the same view on this! I haven't stopped posting, But back a few months ago, I cut it back quite a bit to focus on my businesses. But now I've dropped everything to really invest more time on the platform. I'm back up to writing my 4 posts a day!
This is probably the best opportunity for people who are new to be seen on the platform. They need to take advantage of.

Grow your followers NOW! So when the community is massive, You'll be seen.

Most people don't understand that what matters is how much share they have in the steem 'company'.
As many new users join in it's going to be more and more difficult to get a piece of the cake. This is why even if the price is very low people should keep posting because their share in the 'company' grow regardless of the price.

I think many have not yet realized this - When prices are low, you're getting far more Steem than normally, which you can then cash out in mania phase for a big profit. It's really a quite beautiful self correcting system, just like every stock market! But here you can buy low by just posting so one doesn't have to be a trader.

Its really true. The only way to improve is to write constantly, the only way to get better. Then you can modify what works, trim what doesnt. To be succesfull on this platform on any other you have to continue to hone your craft until it works. IF someone post quality content every single day I dont see how they cant succeed.

Wise words at wise times, If we don't support steemit at its infancy, It will not support us at its youth. Our amount of time+efforts invested here is equal to the amount of great rewards we are creating for ourselves in future.
I agree with you wholly. I have already written an article for today and will write one everyday till I am on steemit.
Great rewards comes with Great efforts.

Thanks for sharing your journey, specially about the price going down from $4 to .2. I recently learned about STEEM so in my mind it always equates to approximately 1 USD.
FAIL FASTER is a new theme I am hearing from lots of entrepreneur mentors that I follow. Nobody likes failure but makes perfect sense if you want to succede and carve out your own niche.

Steem DOLLARS are supposed to be pegged to $1 USD. Though that hasn't been the case, which has worked in the favor of anyone redeeming their SBD rewards - though I'm really not sure who was buying them on the market, knowing they're only supposed to be worth a buck...

Simply adore THIS sort of info, @rok-sivante! Turns out, even though I'm a little new to the game, I figured out a lot of it is still good ol' fashioned Work, but when you love to creatively express yourself, in a supportive, intellectually mature community, it's hardly gonna feel like work, now is it?😉. This is a special sort of social community that wants every part to live "Symbiotically"😉. So, I say, Please fellow Steemian, keep posting.

I am now 9 days deep in actively using steemit and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. This community is full of intelligent people who are willing to share their knowledge and in many cases their influence. I agree that building up your followers base thru hard work is key. I have a feeling that this platform is going to be mobbed soon and we will all need allies when that happens or get lost in the sea of humanity.

Can I offer a piece of constructive criticism?
I always wish your articles were about 30% shorter. Every single one.....
I think a lot of early adopters have returned full force......I got disillusioned too, and even though i was posting every other day, I still kept checking steemit, even when i was not logged in.
I somehow cannot ever disengage. Now I enjoy it more because of its expanse into Asia. I am starting to re-learn my Japanese.....I'll probably start posting bilingual ones now....
anyway, i am glad steemit didn't crash and burn. I would have been sooooooo depressed about that and would have lost so many friends i've gotten to know only on this platform. we have a different dynamic here than facebook. isn't that interesting....

rok-sivante (75) · 8 years ago

of course you may. and, I appreciate that feedback.

I agree that's probably a great recommendation, as of course, alot of readers have short attention spans, so makes sense to pack alot of punch into a smaller package. and of course, shorter posts would mean less time invested, thus greater return on work investment. so a win-win. gonna get implementing this ASAP. thank you. :-)

Great advice. I do want to write for a living eventually and this post is good for thought Upvoted and followed. I've been finding great advice in the last few days from early adopters. I'm sure all of us who have come over recently appreciate any sage advice. If you have time take a look at my post at @tremdospercy as any criticism will be welcomed good or bad. I know I need to tone down some of the rants and will work on it.

Nicely done, great points. I understand what you mean about getting into a groove. When I first started I had trouble thinking of topics to cover. Now I have so many ideas I could write 10 articles a day if I had time! Other great blogs on Steemit, like yours, inspire me. They give me ideas and motivation. Steemit always amazes me with the caliber of content!

Your rapid pace of quality posts is inspiring @rok-sivante, it must take a lot of time and hard work to keep it up.

I'm up to four posts per week now, which feels good... One per day would be excellent, as I'd probably earn even more, but I'm trying to be careful and only post as often as I can at 100% quality.
