Vlog #15: You have to be consistent and enjoy what you create if you want to be successful on Steemit.
Of all the people I introduced to Steemit only one ( @s3rg3 ) is really sticking with it consistently. And it's such a pleasure to see him slowly developed as a blogger.
But blogging is not as easy as it once was on Steemit. The bloggers that started a year ago simply had fewer bloggers to share the reward pool with.
So, with more users joining every day. As a new blogger, you really need to produce content you enjoy creating and be consistent at it.
And I specifically say content you enjoy creating for good reason.
In the beginning, I tried a couple of times to make content I thought would do well but I didn't enjoy. And it was mind-numbing and awful to do. I never want to go back to that.
Rewards will follow from your content and actions on here but should never be the main goal.
I talk about it more in my vlog. (starts around 3:35)

Ya its all about having fun and enjoying what your creating.
Yeah, this is key!
Indeed
Yes man, I really enjoy writing content that I like to share. It is much easier to write while having fun than write purely for profit. In the end ai also think people will read it in your writing if you didn't had any fun writing or actually had fun writing.
I think it's true. When I made those posts I thought would do well. In the end, you could just read the misery in the words. I'm having much more fun now.
Definitely the key, of you don't enjoy it, it will become a burden!
Yeah, it will become like a job you don't enjoy.
Thank you for your post and your vlog @exyle - As a newly arrived steemian I happily consume posts like this. I am working towards building up my audience - if rewards come later then that is great. If not then I've had a blast along the way and engaged with an awesome community
Thank you for your nice comment. If you enjoy what you create and stick to posting your audience will come. O and btw, I liked your 3d Starwars model post.
Thank you @exyle - I hope you follow the progress of the project
quality and consistency, the rest will take care of itself.
I believe this too.
I love comedy writing and am really gratified at the positive response I've been getting from steemit. I love how it actively promotes original, non-plagiarized content... I'm certainly sticking with steemit. :)
Steemit is one of the most unique places on the Internet right now. There is nothing like it out there and the community is amazing. I liked your Generation X Nostalgia post. I loved Spiderman as a kid on tv.
I dug myself a hole :D
I focused mostly on photography for 6 months, now I'm trying to make 50% photo 50% science/news/philosophy etc. I'm not getting much votes anymore :D Guess I'll just have to stick with it and attract a new audience.
*also it's "successful". A typo in the heading.
That's all you can do. Stick with it and create what you enjoy. thanks for the typo error. I will correct it.
I just spent 2 hours on a post and it felt fantastic! I have to admit that I do hope that I can somehow bring in hundreds on each post, but I'm having a really good time writing and meeting lots of passionate people, so it will all be worthwhile regardless.
Yes! this.
At least you have ONE who has listened to you! LOL I've told dozens and only two signed up and they don't do anything here. Most people just don't like to change or try anything new, or else it's just my poor salesmanship. 😀
Haha, it's not you. I'm sure many will come when the blockchain is even better and the apps are perfect. I'm very happy I managed to get one on here and writing consistently! He's having a blast in the process and that makes me happy as a result.
I have been writing for a few years now for many different clients, and I immediately enjoy steemit more even if not everything I write ends up getting too much.
Being able to write whatever you want, not having to conform to certain guidelines, and putting it out there and getting compensated is all very satisfying and rewarding. I don't write as much anymore, but steemit has compelled me to do so again, especially since because I am already knowledgable on what I write about I can write out content so much faster.
Steemit has also for me reinvigorated my love for writing. And now I'm trying new things with a vlog. It's an incredibly fun journey to be on. I read your intro post! Nice!
