Day 13: Looking At Life Through Steemit Eyes (30 Days Of Steemit Success)

walkingkeys (61) in steemit • 7 years ago

So many times people want to write a blog, but simply just don't have anything to say. This isn't Facebook or Instagram where you can take a picture with your feet up watching TV with a caption saying "long day" and expect anyone to vote on it. Luckily... that isn't how Steemit works.

I have been delegated 1,000 SP to help new Steemonians find Steemit Success. Over the month of September I will be posting daily about different strategies, tips and tricks to help you become the best Steemoninan you can be. You can start at the beginning if you want.

30 Days Of Steemit Success

After a few weeks on Steemit and dozens of new blog posts, you will reach a point where you will need to come up with new content on a regular basis to see Steemit success. Almost everyone starts here by posting stuf they have already done. Pictures, paintings, videos, poems, blog and much more. At some point though, you'll need to start posting new stuff. Stuff you write just for Steemit. At that point... you need to see life through Steemit eyes.

For some reason I feel it necessary to add this classic right now.

How do you see through Steemit eyes? Easy... find opportunities to relate your life experiences to valuable Steemit blogs. If you have a hard time fiding stuff to write on, then you ned to add some excitement or learning to your life. If you don't have any new paintings... join a painting class that meets once a week. That is a blog a week right there.

If you are a parent and can barely slip in time to be on Steemit as it is... then look at parenting through Steemit eyes. What do you do that might be helpful to other parents? What could you write about that would be funny that other parents could relate to? What advice do you have for new parents? These are all blogs and things you can write about daily if you starting thinking about your day as one big sounding board for Steemit blogs.

The one thing I think is most interesting to me is that if you improve your experiences in life, then your Steemit blogs will improve too.

For example, if you try new things in life it gives you something new to write about. Maybe try making a new type of slime with the kids. Maybe you try a new vacuum for the house or a new way to build a flower bed out of pallets. Maybe you try a new recipe or maybe you go outside and take pictures of the sunset instead of watching Disney Channel while waiting for your daughter's dance practice to be over.

Finding new and exciting things to do in real life can often translate to good and exciting blogs. When you do new things... take lots of pictures. Take video if you can, then put it all together in a great blog.

So if you don't have anything to write... go do something new and exiting and then come back. It would make it a lot easier if you just look at life through Steemit eyes.

Ok... One more time...

I had just started mine with it called Daily Thoughts as I find myself having a hard time to produce daily long deep research and thoughts as I am working 9-5 during the weekdays and usually will have functions during weekends too. Thus, this is the strategy that I come out with to do the consistent posting on Steemit through a simple sharing on what is my Thought of The Day.
However, from time to time I will get deep into a topic that I am interested in to write about it, such as coffee! I look forward to the time to immerse myself in writing.

Here are my two posts:

Good point, @kimzwarch - It is easy to put undue pressure on ourselves to create deeply-researched, long form posts - assuming that these will be "taken more seriously" than shorter posts. The reality, however, is that the glut of content on SteemIt makes MOST people more likely to gravitate towards the shorter posts, UNLESS they really trust the writer of long-form posts, and/or have a serious interest in the topic. I am finding that it is IDEAL to strike a healthy balance between short and long-form posts. This is why I have settled on my ONE WEEKLY long form, health-related posts, and then every 2-3 days pump out a photo post and a poem post, to keep the momentum going, to have some fodder for engaging in SteemIt Chat, and to consistently draw in some new followers. This seems to be working for now, but I would like to figure out an idea for an addition short-form post which is more word-intensive than my current photo-poem heavy short posts...

Nice one @transcript-junky, let's keep experimenting and find what suits our routine. There are just too many things around me and I cannot just say yes to all. Need to learn to say NO too.

I am not sure. Most of my comments to others blog/post have a little bit to do with my "life experience". I don't think I have missed posting something on steemit once yet. I do have a few post about Life, about experience, well that is another matter. But I did recently post about a different beach walk, well a couple of them, and posted some different pictures, which led to a good conversation. So those I guess would count as "life experience". Have a good day, You are still doing great with the contest. And great Musical Interlude. We need them in life sometimes.

Hey @walkingkeys! Perfect timing on this post. I have been working on - and GROSSLY procrastinating on my next weekly health-related SteemIt post (my first original, "from scratch", SteemIt post), and this post is very relevant in helping me finish it and get it out the door by deadline. It's so true about the value of expanding one's horizons to create new topics to blog about on SteemIt. The great thing about SteemIt's role a the vanguard of the "free market of ideas" is that it incentivizes the process of self exploration. In fact, THIS post has incentivized me to now spend the rest of the day going through the other previous posts in this series, as a way of helping myself to get this week's post "in the can". The PRACTICAL nature of the posts in this series is MUCH appreciated...

Me parece muy interesante como abres las puertas a la imaginación, para hacer ver como se puede escribir de cualquier cosa.
