RE: A Friendly Reminder to All Those Struggling or Just Starting Out

in #life6 years ago

I think Steem is like anything else; you get out what you put in. And that includes risking some of your own capital! Unless you are just so damn cool that all the whales swarm to you and upvote everything you write.

I think that happened with people who all joined at the same time when the platform first came out, but now you gotta put in the extra legwork and power that steem up.

Sort:  

Some folks are lucky enough to have attracted a steady stream of income. In most cases, those legit content producers do a fine job and they deserve their success.

We all have to work. I also recognize the fact even a simple meme is work, it's an effort and if you earn 10 cents sharing a meme, you've already made far more than millions of users who share memes on Facebook, combined.

Very true, my friend. It is all a learning process for me. I know that I'm not a stellar writer myself, so I don't expect to get tons of love. At the moment I am trying to improve my craft and build up some followers while I continue to invest/power up.

I do use bid bots, but I don't go crazy with them. I'm not even using them for the purpose of making money; it's more to get exposure so that people will follow me and engage. In fact, I've already started to use them less because I get more up-votes from readers. I plan to stop using them completely after I get a decent enough following.

I guess that's why I say that you have to invest a little bit in the system if you want to get something out of it. And yes! For sure, 10c for a meme is more than you'd get anywhere else.
