RE: Make Money On SteemIt By Not Trying To Make Money At All
I'm all for replying to and upvoting posts, but it would seem that providing more articles is doing more for the community than just replying and upvoting. There has to be something to reply to and to upvote.
So, I want to know what "worked hard" really means, besides some platitudes that he gave back to the community. I saw a post that the author pointed out his own first post go him $5k. So, it would seem, that at one point, it was easier to earn money on Steemit than it is now.
I'm not discounting any effort of those who arrived at Steemit before me, I'm just curious as to what it really takes to end up with tens of thousands in STEEM Power when you start from scratch.
There is a saying that content is king however there are many people with tons of articles that are making less than a $1 per post. Some of the top steemit posters have YouTube channels and twitter's where they promote their content and help to bring new users to steemit. Every so often you'll see a success story from someone who made a single post and then earned $1k or more however I think of these post as fools gold. Sometimes it's about posting at the right time or posting a topic that their was a large market for that had gone unaddressed. Sometimes it's also because it's very original. Rather than trying to figure out what the magic combination of or formula is, I think it's much easier and much more rewarding to just focus on posting articles on topics you find interesting, and have some knowledge or insight into.
It's just a crap shoot, so post what you know and maybe you'll get lucky.
