Help those who are willing to help themselves. Get your tips ready and dish them out when they come to you for advice of what else they can do. Best not to bombard them with everything at one go.

Transitioning from social media channels where they used to just propagate existing content to the Steemit platform where original content creation and curation are required will not be easy for every new Steemian. Creating new content requires creative inspiration, some planning and discipline to get the sh** done!

In order to retain active contributors, there needs to be an equitable distribution of rewards. It's certainly not happening now with the high incidence of 'reward pool rape'.

Contributors who are unable to sustain their interest will 'actively' look out for reasons to quit: poor ROI on time and creative energy spent, unfair distribution of rewards, using automation to circumvent the Steemit mission, etc.

For those who persist, the future may be bright. You will not be able to drag everyone across the line. Conserve your energy for those who wish to be helped.

Cheers!
