Becoming a Whale ?

Becoming a Whale on Steemit will not be easy unless you have a lot of money to invest and a lot of Friends-Whales to get you up.
But by the way, what does it mean to be a Whale?
there are different user level categories on Steemit: minnows (from the fry menu, what, I remind you, Steemit, it's like a gigantic ocean), dolphins and whales. But in a nutshell, to be a Whale you must own (currently, there in August 2017), on the Platform at least 100,000 Steem Power.

Do you still want to become a Whale? Because good, 100.000 SP is cool, but will have to work. Long time. And hard.

For a quick calculation, assuming that you earn SP through the platform, without outside help, you will have to work ...

And that is starting from the price of Steem which does not increase. Which is very unlikely. And bad news, the more it will increase, the more difficult it will be to have.

What ? Who said it was easy?

But one thing is certain, remember that all the Whales of today are the Minnows of yesterday. They were no better than you in spelling, not even real bloggers and believe me, there are few who were already rich when arriving on Steem.

Tips & tricks to grow easily & in all honesty
To become a Whale (or even a dolphin), you will have to arm yourself with patience. Except exception, we do not become a Whale in one night (Yes, I know you know someone who ... There are always exceptions!).

At first you will have to find out about Steem. What it is, what are the codes, the label, how to make you a place. If you come like a big nag, you'll leave feathers. And maybe there is never room.

You're going to have to deal with Understanding Steem, and that can already take a hell of a lot of time. But it's important, I think, to go through it (and good news, I already pre-chew you some of the work).

Then, you will have to build your audience slowly step by step, attract your followers, those for whom you will write and who will be ready to read you and so you upvot.

But you will also have to bother (yes, yes, that's the word) to create quality and unique content in Steem (every day or almost) and not be rewarded at your fair value. For the moment. Because yes, at the beginning it's difficult ... Like everywhere else, as in every project you undertake. At first, it's difficult, we do not know anyone, we try, we believe it ... but it does not pay.

Do not forget also that on Steem, one of the important points is the community. Think about how you will be able to impact it, what you can give it. To take on Steemit is not enough. Moreover, this strategy will not work in the long term. Upvote, comment, remainem but above all engage with the community. Create friends, allies. And support the little ones as you.

Do not forget that discovering content that will buzzer before everyone (but not too soon anyway: I'll come back), you will also be able to win in steem power. This is called the Curation Reward.

It will also have to have consistency. Rome was not built in a day, your blog Steem either. Finally, I hope, otherwise, it will seem fishy.

As with all projects that we want to carry out in life, we need rigor and discipline. This is the routine that creates success because we repeat the same thing every day towards the same goal.

Do not forget that it is the seeds that have sown every day on which to pay attention and not the harvest because it will arrive much later. Think Olympic athletes. They train months or even years to win. Do not give up on the slightest annoyance, the slightest difficulty. And if that makes you scared, it's good, it's that you're on the way.

It will also increase its Steem Power at any occasion because it is the best way to increase its influence on Steem. Come on, we'll power up all our items! We believe in the platform.

But the real conclusion of this article is that becoming a whale will take a lease ... And sincerely, do we need to be a whale to be happy? And that on Steemit, in the end, we do a little the same thing as on Facebook / on our blogs but being paid.
