THE MINNOW SCHOOL PART 1
REPUTATION IS EARNED ON STEEMIT, IT IS NEVER ASCRIBED
Few days ago, I decided to make it a point, reaching out to minnows, giving them words of encouragement,empowering them to never give up. Honestly, it is tough hanging on here for months, working hard just to assure quality (for those who truly do) and at the end of the day, it seems as though all of our works aren’t appreciated. I understand how you feeling, but tell you what? Your works? they are appreciated. Just that;
STEEMIT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO GET RID OF OPPORTUNISTS FROM THE VERY START. SO IF ALL YOU ARE FOR IS THE MONEY, YOU PROBABLY WON'T HOLD UP FOR LONG.
YOU DON’T GET UPVOTED FOR THE VERY SAME REASON YOU WANNA GIVE UP: THE MONEY FACTOR
The block chain works in such a way that every user has to be economical about spending their steem generation resource-your voting strength. For example;
DID YOU KNOW THAT CONTINIOUS UPVOTES REDUCES YOUR VOTING STRENGTH?
So whenever you ask for an upvote remember that. Each time a steemian with a promising steem power votes you he takes a hit, and he might not recover for some time, could be minutes, hours or maybe even days. So, if I upvote a post it better be worth the stress. Hence, everyone is forced to vote wisely. And that’s because of the second item I will be dealing with on this post, then we pick up from there tomorrow.
CURATION
As stated earlier, upvote comes with a cost. However, the cost of an upvote may have compensation. It’s possible to earn curation rewards (i.e earn a percentage of the author’s reward for upvoting their posts). Voting then becomes sentimental, because each upvoter (permit me to use that word) has to choose speculatively which content to upvote. I’m sure everyone would do the same. Yeah, everyone, including you.
Uptoves should be done based on merit not empathy. Keep posting quality contents. In no time the excellence of your works will announce you to the world of quality steemians. Guess what friends, those whales do see your contents. I tell you now, they always do. Just keep up the good work and the community will come seeking you.
but remember, it has to be based on *value added not personal sentiments. STEEMIT IS NOT A CASTE SYSTEM. IF WE ALL PERSIST, WE WOULD MAKE IT TO THE TOP.
I LOVE YOU, I BELIEVE IN YOU, I BELIEVE IN YOUR FUTURE, I BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS

Great post. I've read a couple of other posts you've written too and I'm definitely going to follow you.
It's really nice to read such motivating articles. I'm still trying to get the hang of SteemIt, but there's so much to learn, so many aspects you need to pay attention to... sometimes I wonder if it is all worth the trouble.
And then I read a post like this, and I'm ready to go again. So thanks for the effort you put in writing your posts. Very much appreciated :-)
@mike314-0005 I'm so gald that you're encouraged. Keep on giving value to the blockchain. Your hard work will pay eventually. See you at the top. I'm also following YOU now
The irony, however, is the MOST gaming of the system done on the site, is TYPICALLY done by those with lots of steem. There's some SERIOUS needs for fixes in this steemit website.
Thanks for reading 🤗
