The best part of Steemit is the incentive to improve.. Why has Facebook become such a bore? There is no incentive for anyone to improve their posts.
I think I am an ok amateur photographer. But format? Writing style? Put a meme in a comment? Nope, dont know how to do that...
But there is an incentive for me to get better.. I'm learning markdown and html. I've picked up a few books on creative writing. I'm taking many, many pictures a day to improve my technique.. I'm following the bloggers who are creating great content..
And I will get good at this :)

Exactly. Facebook isn't FOR people to try and improve. It seems to me it's mainly about keeping in touch through superficial sweet nothing posts that do nothing except remind your friends and family that "I'm here." There's actually some value in that, as it keeps people connected, but I'm not all that interested in it.
Facebook doesn't make it easy to connect with like minded people who aren't in your friends list. People don't post their ideas, they post what they think their family and friend want to see. Or hope they want to see.
Steemit connects you with people who are into what you're into. And it exposes you to ideas and information you'd never see on Facebook. This is the place for people trying to provide something of value, and for people to discover that that is a possibility, even though they got on here thinking it was gonna be like Facebook plus money.
Steemit will be a Facebook killer not by being like Facebook, but by showing people that the energy they expend on the internet can be much more valuable to a lot more people.

Everyone seems to blog the shite out of Steemit after HF19. Fortunately only good articles are on hot and trending, even though they are 1 meme with 600$ rewards. Lol, joke aside.
After 19, Steemit really needs to push it's content quality boundries to the highest possible measure.
Another nice article of how to not suck at Steemit. Thank you.

Some of your HARD FACTS are not so hard but I enjoyed your article and I upvoted it. According to 2016 statistics published by the Small Business Administration (SBA), about 78% of small business startups survive the first year and about half of all employer establishments survive at least five years. A third survive ten years or more. This is a far cry from the previously long-held belief that 50 percent of businesses fail in the first year and 95 percent fail within five years.

Persistence is one of the most important. Gary V talks about it all the time. I'm a walking example of it. Took me 6 years of failure to become an "overnight success", but the persistence to keep going at it despite those failures taught me everything I needed to know to finally hit that success.

NO. I have challenged you with a choice to choose for yourself.
And perhaps one of your greatest opportunities here could be not writing in English, but leading an expansion into your native language/homeland.
You create your own fortune. And by breaking your barriers and daring to dream, could potentially open the doors for others to create theirs - as many from your homeland might not yet know of the possibilities here...

wish I remembered exactly what article it was... someone had written yesterday about just how far $6 SBD per day could go in Bulgaria - that that little rewards alone would be better than minimum/average(?) wage in their country...
not sure where you're from - but what would an extra $5-10 per day ($150-300) at a minimum do for your friends and people in your home community?
what could the platform be used for to share within the community?
what voices in the community would have to speak out important or value perspectives that'd be good for others to hear?
what type of attention needs to be brought to certain things going on in your community? what good could might it do to write some posts to generate awareness for them and do some fundraising to donate rewards to a project or cause?
there are alot of possibilities for small ways this space could be used beyond simple blogging and social media sharing. and keeping consistent posting quality stuff daily, a little bit might add up to make a big difference to some of the people in your homeland or expat community, while serving a great good too... ;-)

I thought deeply about why I'm here.
I need to find connections with similar people. Being Light worker, keeping Earth and providing energy to the Earth I know a lot of Earth keepers in Russia and Ukraine.
For sure I can work myself and alone. but I would glad to find Keepers from other parts of our planet.
Money? I live in CA now, and an additional $5-10 is about nothing, the same as for my Russian friends.
Connections, ability to do our work together is a mine main goal here. Also to help people to make a transformation and prepare them to a higher reality.
The new platform exists now. A lot of people already there. My personal goal is to awake others and help to move to 5D

I don't know, I've put about a 10th of the time into Steemit compared to FB, just because my friends are over there, and I'm pleasantly surprised. I think the barrier to Steemit thriving is the way the developers update the platform and keep the thing centralized. Not as fair as other crypto platforms for back-end. It's great for front-runner users like me, though!

Who the fuck AM I? Hmmm.... There's a tale for the ages. You sure you can handle the truth, @rok-sivante? ;)
Seriously, though, persistence is so important, and probably the place where most people will get caught on their path to success in anything, including here. Don't give up after a couple of low-paying posts. Keep going, build your audience, and you'll get where you want to go. Have a plan, make goals, and work until you reach them. It may take a while, but persistence pays off. Use it, and you WILL GET THERE.

It is refreshing to find a social media platform that attempts to bring out the best in others. It doesn't seem to be a popularity contest, but rather a community of individuals with diverse minds who are tired of the mainstream and are seeking the knowledge and yes acceptance of their peers without the "instacelebrity" moniker that is flying around these days. Speaking and seeking the truth is a lost art. I am happy that there is an uprising such as this and an arena where fresh thoughts and concepts can be shared freely by brave souls.

I am reminded of a quote from Dave Grohl. "Go out and suck!" (I'm paraphrasing) But that was the gist. His point was grind it out and put in the time and make mistakes and you might be a Nirvana or Foo Fighters someday.
I have been steeming for a little over 3 months. And I have seen improvements in my own writing and idea development. When there is incentive to be good my lazy ramblings become more cogent ideas.

I agree with the general idea suggesting that posts that bring value to the Steemit platform are are inherently more valuable to the poster than fluff 'please throw money at me' posts. But in my experience, the the twin aspects of whale dominance + the recurring eyeballs via following posts has been trending towards rewards concentration to a minority of certain posters. Many of them are quite good. But many of those same posters throw up some pretty damned fluffy stuff and still get rewarded greatly for it for the above two reasons.
I really hope this hard fork 19 starts to even out the playing field. The potential is immense.

I think the key point is practice. I'm new to this and obviously not retiring anytime soon from it lol... But Im trying to think of it like my old radio show I had back in the late 90's. The first few months were pretty much the same show complete with playing the same songs over and over bc I had no idea of the library literally staring me in the face, dead air, no idea what to say on the mic. Around the 6 month mark, the show magically changed. The flow between songs were cohesive. There was never a repeat song in the 5 hour set. I could make jokes and tie it in to whatever PSA I had to read. No stuttering, no dead air. What took me 4 days to plan in the first few months took me an hour or two. It was all practice and comfort and discovering what made people call to bullshit and make request and what made people call to say you suck get off the air.

Thank you from a newb still sticking her toes into the Steemit pool. I like to observe and study before I jump right into things which is what I have been doing the past day or two. This article is giving me the kick in the ass I need to not remain in the "you suck" category. Thank you.

That was a wonderful post, well written, humorous with just a splash of bad language...not enough to be offensive but just enough to emphasize your points. :D
I really love this post because I'm one of those people that have to fight every single day to not give up. Its hard work but I can look myself in the mirror most days so that's a plus. :D
Thanks for sharing this because its very "spot on" as they say over the pond. :D

Gravity is a myth the whole Earth sucks!
But that's really ok. Even if I plug away at $0.07 posts I still occasionally hit some $10 copper and may eventually start striking $100 GOLD from time to time.
Do I write some fluff? Yeah ... the world needs a little fluff.
I also write what I know and a decent chunk of it, and comment a shit-ton (actually I make more from comments than original posts).
So I agree read, post, CONTRIBUTE, all the damn time! Steem on!

#3 and #5 hit home the most for me.
I just today realized that I can use html in my formatting, not just markdown. My posts are now much better formatted already and will continue to improve. Over the past few days I have gotten my groove and have found my focus for my Steem contributions, so I now have a reason to persist.

Thank you for sharing this . I started this adventure on steem some days ago, I'm still studying it but the most attractive thing is the quantity of quality contents that can be find. I love photography and here I find so many talented genuine people to follow. I love cooking and travelling and here I can share what I like to do. Plus I'm fascinated by the fact that everything is ongoing and changes everyday. I try to follow your suggestions ! Thanks

If that's the conclusion you've drawn, I've failed miserably to get my point across. Lol.
There is no best here - only continual improvement of ourselves. Though ifwere measured by rewards or followers, I'd still be well-behind the top - which is perfect, cuz writing like this, I don't do for praise or rewards, but to pay forward some motivation and inspiration so a new generation can come uo and blow me the fuck away... :-)

Just wanted to add to your article @rok-sivante , If you fail to get more people to see your stuff Then you aren't trying hard enough, go out and comment, go find people to vote for your stuff, don't vote beg but be sincere when commenting. It makes the worlds difference, People say "It's not what you know, It's who you know"

Been here little over two weeks now, most discouraging thing being seen so less as a rookie. Seeing some get 15$ rewards for a simple comment while others post detailed and well structured articles getting close to none. Luck does play a great role as a newcomer, that, and what you describe as having the willpower to continue, be it my personal stumbling block. Really hope I can keep motivating myself to continue because I do believe Steemit to be a part of the future :)!

yes, some of these things can be discouraging at first - hence the value of that persistence. not all is perfect here, but considering none of us ever made shit creating content on Facebook, a little bit of poorly-distributed rewards is still a step in the write direction while things even out over time... ;-)

I was just wondering-- how successful might it be to post essays I've written in the past, "offensive" content, as well as plain old fictional stories that probably suck? I just joined the community but I'm very eager to share my works. And thank you much for the... intriguing article. I was not expecting so many swear words, but the content was very informational and helpful!

I like your tough love concept. I'm a week old on Steemit. And I've been quite excited to be here. I had almost next to nil knowledge of blockchain or cryptocurrencies till a week ago, now I know more. I've made some general posts and have been happy to see people respond. But, reading your article makes me want to do more. To add max value so to say. It's like making one sit up and focus and act and not just shake and make random moves with excitement. Upvoted your article and now following you. Thanks for the great push, @rok-sivante. Totally appreciate it.

My son and a friend of his suggested Steemit to me because I was bored with the way FB operates.
You post something that has real substance and you'll get 6,7, maybe 20 likes.
You post a picture of a wet cat with an angry look and you get upwards of 50.
I like silly shit as much as the next guy but I also want to be informed. I want to have my thinking challenged. I want to be entertained on a more intellectual level. These are all very important things.
I also like to have the things I'm writing qualified. I like to know that my work has value to others. On Steemit you see this in the votes and in the comments. You get critiqued, but not badgered or put down. It allows you to open up and share your creativity amongst people who are doing exactly the same. It is community and it is a joy to be a part of it. Also gaining some coin along the way is a nice perk.
I still have my FB. Sometimes that cat just cracks me up. Just sayin'.

I can absolutely relate to what you´ve just said! When my boyfriend introduced me to Steemit he told me ´just put your articles from the blog , they are good enough´. And yes, some are worthy and will definitely upload them. But I waited before writing my first post precisely because this is a space we can make ´ sacred´. What are my expectations from Steemit? What am I willing to give? What kind of community do I want to attract / build / be part of?
Thank you, it´s the sign I needed :)

Great article overall, but I especially love this: "And what you're deathly afraid to share on other social media platforms might just be exactly what will generate the most intimate connections and attract your tribe of like-minded fringe-dwellers here."
As a new creator in the community I appreciate the share and the advice! 😍

"Steel must go through the test of fire if it is to be strong"
You doled out some harsh ass truth there. This platform has to be focussed on long term growth and sustainability. As someone who joined Steem mainly to post fiction, this is something I really want to see happen here. Because without that I'm kinda screwed seven ways to Sunday without lube.
Their incentive system seems to be built to support this so here's to hoping people take your advice to heart. I know I will.
