Well, in order to answer your question I'd tell you what steemit is all about.

For starters, steemit is a cryptocurrency platform where one can earn the cryptocurrency called Steem or SteemDollars (SBD) just by posting creative contents and getting upvotes from other users with influential Steempower.

The number of upvotes and the steem power of those who upvoted your Post determines the amount you earn per post.

Steempower are influential tokens that influences upvotes and post payouts.

For you to make enough money on steemit all you need do is to continually post creative and attention catching contents using the proper tags. Furthermore you can also make money on steemit by commenting on others post or even using steem Dapps and other steem related platforms like Musing.io etc to make money on steem.
