@Hopehuggs 20 Tips to Increase Your $$$

1. Read posts on subjects that you’d like to write about, so you get to know others and their followers

2. Write decent comments when you come across posts you like and write at least 2 sentence answers that show that you have read it, agree, disagree, elaborate

3. Don’t spam or plagiarize, just create original stuff and don’t put links in comments.

4. A lot of your questions can be answered by the Steem FAQ, if you can find them in there, try steem.chat and discord, don’t be afraid to ask for help. We have all been there.

5. Network, join some discord communities and get to know people, mingle, make friends. These people could become your supporters and vice versa.

6. Watch out for opportunities and contests, where you can earn extra SBD, @moneyinfant has a great list of daily writing contests for example.

7. Write a curation (link to) some of your favorite posts (most helpful, best ones on philosophy), or expand further on one that you liked.

8. When you use tags, make sure you use tags that are used already, not brand new ones, as if you are new no-one will see your posts otherwise

9. Inject your personality into your posts, as genuine people attract more upvotes

10. Write how-to posts, that show people step by step how to do something, like crafts, something on Photoshop, art step by step etc.

11. Remember that it is not just Steemit that is based on steem, there are 48 other steem interfaces to try out: https://steemprojects.com

12. Command attention, by making your thumbnails count, so that they stand out in the feed and make your headlines eye catching so they draw the reader into your world.

13. There is such a thing as a markdown editor called MarkdownPad2, which will help you get your posts edited or markdown pro for Macs, which you can then copy paste over to Steemit, so you don’t have to be online to write.

14. Keep an ideas notebook, or file on your computer, so when something sparks you note it down, so you don’t forget it.

15. Keep learning every day about steem and looking for hints and tips that you share with your followers and friends.

16. STAY AWAY from Steemit politics, as getting in the middle of those can harm your earnings

17. DO NOT use STEEMIT for MARKETING or sales letters, Steemit is for good quality content and if you do this, you will be flagged or downvoted, which means you will lose your hard earned SBD

18. When you post on Steam, make the commitment and promise to yourself that you will get up one post a day, make the time for that each day, no excuses, so you get into the habit.

19. Take inspiration from people that are walking the talk on Steemit and reverse engineer what they are doing, listen to their advice

20. Don’t give up. It might not happen overnight, it probably won’t, but some people I know have been curied (got a nice big vote from @curie who are manual curators looking out for good articles) on their second post, they just happened to be in the right place at the right time, but it takes time to build up to a consistent income though.
