RE: Nobody Cares About Your Success - Getting over the Crab Mentality
Helping each other helps ourselves.
The quickest way to 'lose' on Steemit is to narrow your view.
Even if none of your posts ever do well, you can still earn it big. Simply adjust your approach. You have tools for investing, for curating and even for creating feedback loops of followers. Use them wisely!
If others keep hitting the goldmines on the blogging side of things, ride on the coattails of their success through curation rewards or compound interest of your investments. We're not all born writers, nor are we all affluent investors. There's a mix and match for everyone, though!
Amen to that! One thing I like about Steemit is how it offers a mix of strategies, so you have the freedom to experiment and find an approach that fits your particular strengths.
And even if you 'lose', you still had valuable practice and lessons, for no net loss in monetary value. That can't be said for many other ventures!
Great perception. Nothing is promised to us, not even life itself. We have NO clue to what a day may bring so, I totally agree with your analysis--if you want success you have to endure the hard knocks of life, get over it, keep focussed on your goal at hand and Move On..

I am very new to steemit, but I feel it has a gold rush culture so far which is sucking me in. Have not found rewards yet, but I will definitely stick to it for a while as the idea is just brilliant!
If there's ever a time to dig deep and figure out how to present the value you can offer, it's right here, right now. Good luck!
Just don't let the rush get to fever ;)
Rush is good, fever is bad.
Are curation rewards even worth it though? I've managed to get in early on some pretty popular posts and it only amounts to a couple of cents in the end.
Theyre only worth it once you have sime steem power. My curation rewards last week were around $2-300. Which isn't too bad, if this really blows up those rewards could increase by several factors.
Oh wow, I didn't realize steem power was also tied to curation rewards. It sounds to me that minnows main focus should probably be on acquiring more SP via content creation before spending too much time on curating.
It's a balance, getting up power and popularity will be synergistic to your spot in the steemit network, and your earnings as a result of that :)
I agree, significantly more potential to help and be helped by others on Steemit, the reverse crab mentality :)
Yes. Less crabs, more delicious sashimi for all.
Great posting so far @wingz, I love your outlook and style. I'm a follower! ;)
And yes to this, helping people gives us a feeling of fulfillment.
Hello @spookypooky, can I ask how did you format the styles of your comment?
You can format comments in the same way you can format posts - through html and markup. I did a post on formatting and the value of it here, if you'd like to know more, it's a bit long to put in a comment! https://steemit.com/writing/@spookypooky/format-it-or-forget-it-2-minute-read (it also link to resources that might let you edit and preview your content, it's tremendously useful!)
