STEEM IS NOT A PONZI SCHEME.

Hello everyone,

There was a friend of mine that I invited join steemit and he joined sometimes last year, but he has not been active on the platform. Wondering why he was not active on steemit, I asked him why he was not active on the platform and he told me that it is because it is hard to earn here.

Am sure he thought that, the moment he post, the votes will come raining down his post.

But I told him that, Yah!!!! It is hard to earn on steemit, because steem is not a ponzi scheme. It is only in a ponzi scheme, that you can expect quick turnover.

You can't come into steemit and expect to start making a lot on your post very quickly. You have to be active on steemit, posting regularly and building relationships and these takes time.

By building relationships, you have to consistently upvote people's post and they will in time start upvoting your post too and you will be getting more votes on your post.. But Not everyone that you try to build a relationship with will respond positively, so the secret is that you should build relationships with many people.

I also told him that, if he wants to be successful on steemit a little bit quicker, then he should invest some funds on steem. When you invest funds on steem, your votes will have more value and you will get more rewards on your post. But even at this, no matter how much funds you invest on steem, it will still take you quite a while to get back fully your investment.

So, to be successful on steemit, you need patience and this is because steem is not a ponzi scheme.

This is how far I, explained to him. If you have more to tell him, you can say it in the comment section and I will relate it to him.

Thank you.
