RE: There is No Secret. You Can Succeed on Steemit Just Like Anyone Else
Well another secret is financial capital to raise your Steem Power to lessen the chances of getting upvotes-without-money. And that is the ugly truth.
You are not totally wrong in that aspect. People who have the capital are more likely to succeed in this domain where money is very essential. But not having the capital should not deter us from the success we are trying to attain. It may take a while, growing organically, to reach there. But like they say, it's the journey that really matters. What we learn along the way far more exceeds than the pot of gold. But then again, it's just me.
Followed. Let me hear how you're doing in Steemit. ;-) I can see you have a long way to raising up your reputation.

In about a month, I managed to earn about $100 worth of Steem, and I put in another $130, 100 went to boost my SP. I am sure that I will attract more votes with future posts, especially ones about my software development project. With that, it's a little more indirect how it earns. I am at an intermediate stage between announcement and the pool is still a little muddy because I have got so many things to integrate into the design, but I am going to strive to work a little more systematically on the #steemportal, I mean, to at least have some rudimentary interface that works, displays posts, and shows off something a bit more concrete, and I think that will yield more upvoted posts discussing the advances. This is my steem business model.
Considering my financial situation, it is a little bit brave, maybe foolish, but then I couldn't be doing anywhere near as much work on this if I had a regular day job. For the moment, the rent is covered and I have internet access and I can get all the food I need to keep on going. I am still really waiting for a reasonably big injection of capital so I can get into somewhat more comfortable situation to become a little bit more productive and focused. I am considering how I can get loan funding, but the difficulty is that there is a fairly big cost obstacle in administration for me to get it through conventional means (bank credit) and the same obstacles stand in my way for acquiring seed capital through online means. Right now I basically have to crack a multi-hundred (dollar) voted post, and get my cash holdings above the next month's expected expenses.
But I'm sure I can do it.
I have no doubts about you @l0k1. If we keep climbing up, no matter how small the steps we take, we eventually will get to the top, maybe find some bigger boulders to step on here and there and boost our way up.
I, too, am researching and working hard on my posts to at least increase readership and eventually increase upvotes. In my two months, I got only 2 posts that I can say really made me a decent sum of money. But I keep a positive perspective.
Thank you for the encouraging words. I have already followed @steemsquad. I already have 2 earlier blog posts with more than 300 words which I plan to re-publish as edited re-issues that didn't get proper number of upvotes because of faulty tags and #steemsquad did not yet exist at that time.
I thought it was not allowed to post your work at https://steemit.chat/channel/steemsquadpromo?
I saw your post in the promo chatroom. I have upvoted and promoted your post, too.
Thank you. Sorry for the late reply. I was busy and navigating around Steemit is a bitch to master.
I will post it for you as soon as it is published.
I just made a new one. Please post as you promised.
