STEEMIT IS NOT A GET RICH SCHEME(ADVICE TO NEWBIES)
Steemit is not a "get rich quick" scheme. While it is possible to post an article that goes viral quickly and earn a lot of rewards on a single post which I am a witness to a friend I introduced to this platform. But just yesterday I was promoting steemit on my facebook wall where he commented on it that he can't even get 1$ for his post now on steemit. Well see the picture and read the kind of advice I gave him. We are all having the same problem but the whales and the Dolphins will tell u not give up.
Most of the authors that we see earning high rewards are users that have spent a lot of time in the network building followings, making connections with others, and developing a reputation for bringing high quality content.
It is best to have realistic expectations, without focusing on rewards when you are first starting out. Work on building a following, making connections, and developing a good reputation. Consistency will pay off in the long run.
At times you will feel like giving up. It came to a point I even stop using the platform for sometime. But a friend (@kwakumax) of mine who introduced me here told me giving up is not an option. He even shared his experience with me which contains sleepless nights and many more. But now he is reaping higher values. That alone tells me consistency pays in the long run. You hav to know that steemit is not just a social media platform where everyone gets paid for creating and curating content. It a decentralized society that is full of communities where these communities help it members to grow. It a must as a newbie to join this kind of communities. Thanks to @tj4real and @kwakumax who hav contributed to build steemitghana in order to help it members to grow.
Someone will say successful people or those who has succeeded on this platform write this kind of articles. Which is totally wrong. You need to inspire yourself before someone inspire's you. All that am trying to say is that as a newbie, forget about the monetary rewards. Build your reputation by creating content that add value to steemit and create connection and build your followers so you will be known on the platform and not forgetting about commentting on other people's posts. Remember consistency pays in the long run.
NEVER GIVE UP!!!!
KEEP STEEMING
Indeed steemit is not a get rich scheme some of us had to fast months before getting to where we are,
keep it up, you would get there soon
Thank Mr Anaman. I really appreciate your words. Giving up is not an option. I hav to understand that success is not a straight line.
we must be prepared to learn from the expert and give room for investment. Alot of newbies want to get rich overnight with no hard work. We must begin to understand that steemit is more of investment than social media.
indeed bro, it's very difficult for us the newbie like me i have taken your advice into consideration but am not giving up though there is hardship man am focusing
@kobbymckenzie focus focus
That is really great. Giving up is not an option man.
Sadly, many people aren't interested in putting in the time and effort to reap the eventual rewards. Take a look at some Steemit users that have been using the platform for a mere 6 months. Some of them are making a lot of money.
If you look at their profiles, however, you can see that they've spent a lot of time following people, gaining followers, making worthwhile comments, replying to people, upvoting and re-steeming content, and creating great posts. Anything worth doing, is worth doing well.
Yeah that is it. All u hav to do is to invest time. And trust me u will surely earn the results in the long run
From my point of view i disagree with you oooh...some people see this platform to make huge money..and they are making it..
They didn't just start to make money. It was a gradual process and now they reaping higher values
