I think you can convert that to basically everything in life. But only Steemit made me actually do it. Before that I always lacked the external instant gratification. Here I get it and I am addicted now. ;)

yeah hard work doesn't pay off as much on other platforms as well as it does on steemit! u can work hard all day out in the "real world" and end up getting ripped off and have all ur shit taken away!

but here on steemit you have a much better chance of making money than any other social media ....you have a better chance of making money than most entry level jobs in America!

I dont know of any place that lets you start making as much money as steemit!
(But i do have many spoiled friends who i show steemit and they go "Well I wasnt making enough money" and im just like wow really?" and they go "Well it just wasnt paying man" and im like 'Yeah because your shit sucked!' and they go 'but i put like a whole hour into that post! I make like $15 an hour with uber!" and i realize some people are just retarded they start to think that they're actually WORTh $15 an hour just because some company paid them that much once! God Damn people are spoiled!

It really makes me mad, so many people act like that with steemit, they are off to a great start and they quit because they arent making "enough money" its really annoying hearing that after working for months to get to here Im at, they think they deserve to just start making $100 a post overnight.....we should make a PSA to new users that "You need thousands of followers before you startr making $100 pr post!' and then maybe something about how you can get thousands of followers in just a few weeks if you post enough good posts!

I am certain that it is in fact a matter of making your content better than even great as well as sticking to it, even if nobody reads what you write for days on end (or blindly helps you for the sake of being convenient and nice because they need the time elsewhere). Maybe i am just being dim about my personal journey but i still think i can get far without having to use a crypto coin (although I'd love to try a coin wallet someday) for my money. After all its effort that gets rewarded here, not desperate get rich quick schemes! At least, isn't that within reach on Steemit, or is it still even wishful thinking to anticipate success as well?

ackza (72) · 7 years ago

see i am able to upvote u 22 cents so u can now say you made almost a quarter just off a comment online! post on my blog and youl always get paid for ur comments like this! higher quality comments with images end up getting many dollars in rewards! just comment lots of thoughts all day long youll end up making money if you can bring fresh content here! youll never be lacking in success if you can bring or create good content! so just become a cool hunter! be on the lookout ofr fresh new stuff and youll always find plenty of content out there!'

just remember. Its not about whether or not you want to use crypto coins, the crypto will help you!

finite supply decentralized deflationary currency will allow you to create a small fortune out of a small savings!

Steemit will allow us to get rich over he course of a few years, it will be quick to make money and earn though, you wont get rich quick but youy will make money a lot faster than a lot of other jobs and you can make a lot of money quickly on steemit but its no scheme, you get paid for providing good content and u will see as u learn more about the platform!

Thanks a ton, I've followed you to help myself keep track of your feeds on Steemit. I actually did make forty cents earlier this week on my very first blog post ever on the platform, but as you can imagine for someone like me who diligently explores his surroundings, it got downgraded harshly until now. But even your helpful reply and reputation/steem/steem power lifting upvote made a difference and i am not surprised. I was only concerned because i want people to not only know of my presences but also get help from my works too!

I absolutely loved your video @flauwy how you explained everything step, by step and I could see your excitement. All the way from Costa Rica? Wow. That's exciting. I lived in El Salvador for more than 2 years (my husband is from there)and this is where we really want to go back and live, but that's another subject. Thank you so much for sharing this post and all your amazing strategies, and how you did it, it is so very helpful and I really appreciate it. I want to learn everything I need on Steemit so that I can share it with others. You are doing amazing and I couldn't be happier for you and your success, which is well earned. And post like this just shows us how real and possible things are when you work hard. I'm not as good as you (500 followers 1s month)I was happy with 100 my first 28 days and I try hard and try to learn, but I'm not a great writer so it takes me hours and hours to make one post, but I'm getting better and better. Anyways, I'll be following you since you inspired me and I want to keep learning from you. To Thank you.

flauwy (73) · 7 years ago

Hey, thanks for your great comment. Take a Tip! for it.

There are many strategies to get your post done much faster. First thing is to not try to make it perfect. Steemit is too short-living for that. At least for now. Sometimes you can just write down your thoughts and then use them as a guideline. Cut out 90% before you even write it or cut it out after you wrote it. Or make a video. That was a HUGE hurdle for me to begin with but since my first Minnow Motivation the ice broke and I am doing it every day now. Easiest thing in the world. Sometimes I have no clue what to say before but with a topic it all comes naturally while I speak.

If you are interested in Steemy, I am looking to create co-ops with other Steemians to do something in that direction. Nothing concrete yet but I do have the tech and soon I have a better laptop to produce these videos 5 times faster.

I also want the big upvotes of course. :) And I want to be among the best and most active (I think I already achieved that) Steemians when the deluge of new users comes floating in. And I want to be the place to go as a Minnow who is confused but hungry for more.
