My steemit future

Somewhere down the road I want to try to be a full-time steemian for some months.

But at the moment I struggle a lot to even post once a day and if you take a look at my blog you can see this is going on for a quite a while now.

In my "playbook" consistency and interacting with other members is crucial to a financially successful steemit career.

I always tried to be very honest in my posts and to share my thoughts how and why I want to do certain things in a certain way.

The last 4 weeks I rented out most of my steem through @minnowbooster.

I had a better return as if I would write and curate daily.

But it felt strange...

I have rambled about boosters often enough for now, so I dont want to talk too much about them. I see pros and cons but the biggest con for me is that so much Steempower is locked away and only will give out votes if you pay for it, which is not the purpose of the platform in my eyes.

While renting steempower might be +EV for the renter as long as he is active and curates well and the steempower is not a mercenary.

But it is tempting to delegate it all away again and just be "done with it". But also shortsighted....

Steemit will be as successful as the people it attracts and I want to be a part of shaping that community in a positive way (most of the time).

I dont want to get too much involved into the drama and politics you read here very frequently.

I read an article 1 or 2 weeks ago how unfair steemit is and how desperate the author was to get success here. Complaining and crying he asked for help what he could do, to become more successful.

The answers were pretty clear find your niche and be active. Post and comment regular and upvote people and content you enjoy.

His answers were that this will not work because the whales just upvote each other and nobody cares about his content.

He thought his content was the bomb. I disagree there. I thought it was underwhelming and his last 10+ posts were just bitching and crying.

I said it before and I will say it again : This is a social network. Part popularity contest, part content and I think you need to play both games. Find your people who are willing to make you Prom King and like doing so as they enjoy what you have to say.
