Steemit Guide for Newbies|10 Rules: How to be a Rainbow Fish

How I made over $1800.00 in Steem from my first blog-post only and you can too...

Biology lesson No.1: You can't catch a whale if you're fish, you can only make yourself tasty to catch. With that being said.. here is what you need to know in order to be successful on Steemit: 

1. U V C (unique valuable content): The best way to get recognized is to stand out! In a pool of fishes seek to be the rainbow fish. Don't just try to copy successful posts. It's great to be inspired by a them, but it's unlikely that a copy will be trending just as well. Instead really focus on writing something unique, be creative and make sure it's valuable! Ask yourself: If I read this post as if it wasn't my own would I upvote it?
I think it's important to mention here: It's not about the length of of a post that makes it valuable, but the content! Try your best to make every sentence you write as valuable as possible. Not the longest post wins (what I feel like many people get wrong), but posts that are: interesting, an easy read, fun/entertaining, help others, are a great contribution to the Steemit-Communit, and simply U.V.C! 

2. Focus on giving rather than receiving: I know this is a tough one and it's difficult to fully leave out having any expectations, BUT try your best not to have a certain expectation and instead rather a healthy kind of broad hope.. So instead of thinking "This post hast got to make at least $100", think "I hope someone will enjoy reading my post“. It will make you happier and you won't feel any frustration or dissapointment. Also if your post does get upvoted by a whale, it's so much nicer to be surprised by it. When I put up my first post I had zero expectations and was just like „let's see how this works, I will just introduce myself, because why not..“. I would've never thought that from that post only I would make good money (I didn't understand at first how I made that money and what ned's steem power had to do with it) and even after you have made some good money, don't expect every post of yours to top that or go as high. Keep your focus on giving valuable content without expecting anything in return. No expectations = no disappointments!

3. Catchy Headlines + Visualizations

4. Don't compare yourself to others

5. Stay consistent

6. Don't overthink, Just Do It

7. Experiment, Analyze, Optimize

8. Be active on Steemit

9. Passion

10. Don't give up! You maybe made the mistake to have a specific expectation that wasn't fulfilled and you're thinking about giving up on Steemit, but let me tell you something: 
It is way too early to quit! If you haven't tried posting valuable content for at least 2 months yet, you cannot judge or interpret the results. I myself am not patient at all and constantly have to tell myself with everything: „relax and give it some time“. This is crucial guys! Sometimes your posts get overlooked, and a whale is still a human (for non-Steemers I sound crazy lol), but you know what I mean.. They can only view so many posts a day. 

Be thankful for every reader, upvote and comment (no matter the level) and  remember.. every post still can get upvoted weeks later, so don't give up. You might think there is already too much competition on Steemit, when in reality there isn't.. think about it: how many people are following the 10 rules you just read? Only a few right? Which means there is still plenty of room for you to become a successful Steemer on the long-run. Just be a rainbow fish! 

I hope this 10-step guide was helpful. Feedback is welcomed and much appreciated.

Keep steeming!


Much love💖
