STEEM Gold Mining: Why Everyone Should Be Dedicating Time And Effort On Steemit!!!!
There is gold in them hills.....
STEEM is changing the lives of millions of people. Sadly, many people do not see what is right before their eyes.
Steemit is exploding...
According to this post by @aggroed, the number of active daily users is growing at an exponential rate.
Here is the post:
As you can see from the graph, the number of daily active users flew passed 50K and is closing in on 60K. This is double where we were a month ago. This is rather impressive growth.
What is fueling this growth is probably a variety of factors. However, one thing that cannot be denied is that the recent run up in the price of STEEM and SBD means that people are getting much higher payouts than they did before. This is a fact I am sure many are relaying to their friends and family.
Exactly what type of money are we looking at?
I took a look at one of the members of my 1KSP program to see where he stands.
This is an individual who joined this site in December so he is here basically a month. In that time, he is seeing his rewards increasing substantially. Naturally, being part of the program means he is getting a couple 100% upvotes from me per day, but @jakeybrown has done a good job interacting with others especially via commenting.
Looking up his account on steem.supply, we see he is earning $1,200 over the next 7 days. This is an incredible amount of money for being on here about a month. Over the course of a year, this adds up to $60K a year.
Here is another frequent reader of my posts who is also enjoying the benefits of upvotes from someone else. @spiritualmax is also became an active user his first month here. Looking at his steem.supply page, we see he is also going to top $1,100 this week in payouts as the price of STEEM and SBD stand.
I do not know the financial position of either these two individuals but I can tell you that I believe that $1,000+ a week will make a radical difference in their lives. Of course, we need to keep in mind that these two are both powering up which means they will benefit from the appreciation in price of STEEM. This is a sensational wealth building strategy.
It is my feeling that many on here do not see the opportunity before them. At this time, we are seeing the ability to add a drastic amount to each person's account. Down the road, we will see a lot more users vying for the rewards pool. I believe this will be offset by the value of STEEM since it only makes sense that an escalation is in order as the user base increases. However, for the time being, there is an opportunity to not only make Steemit great, but to add to one's account.
Steemit only requires time and effort. One is not obligated to put money into it to participate. There are a number of ways to earn money on here: posting, commenting, and upvoting. This is what both of these individuals have done since I came across them.
So why aren't you putting full effort into this platform? Dedication to your future and that of your family is something we all should have at the top of the list. This is one of those opportunities that can be life changing for everyone who is involved. The question is if one is willing to put forth the effort or not?
I know it can be frustrating, especially when first starting out. Since most of us do not come here with a following, we tend not to get a lot of upvotes on our articles. That is why I suggest posting a lot of comments. There are many dolphins and whales who do upvote many of the comments in their articles. At the same time, there are a number of whales who do not do a lot of posting but upvote articles and comments. This is something to take advantage of when new. Make quality comments and you will get some SP from it.
I can tell you persistence does pay off. Over time, a following does develop if you keep posting content people appreciate. It is easy to fall prey to the belief that the system is rigged and you will never get to partake. That kind of thinking leads people away.
If you take a look at the accounts of the two people I mentioned, the reason they are getting the support is because they caught the attention of myself and another. It was through their efforts of commenting and being involved that they are now profiting in a much greater way. Each of them is on the road to 1,000 SP which will be life changing money by the end of the year.
Therefore, I would urge everyone to dedicate themselves to this venture as it was his/her business. It is highly possible this "gold rush" gets even bigger as the price of STEEM keeps escalating. At present, according to steem.supply, there will be $4.5M distributed in the next week to the 40K-50K people who were posting in the last week.
With the combined efforts of everyone on here, we can make that number grow even bigger. The steem blockchain is still in its infancy. We are going to see much greater things.
The time to start staking your claim is now. Doubling your efforts on here will likely result in a ten fold increase in your account over the next few months.
And that is something I think we all would be happy with.

Woah, I can’t even imagine doing that well in my first month. It took a long time for my work to pay off, but it finally did.
I took a few weeks of enjoying the high sbd to enjoy creating a crypto portfolio since I had no fiat to invest back when bitcoin was at $100 and I started eyeing it, if felt good to finally get into the game.
I’d like to get back to powering up though. I had been waiting for another sbd explosion in relation to Steem but I’m starting to think it may never come, Steem is not going to drop low again any time soon. In fact, this may be the last chance to buy Steem with sbd at a rate better than 1 to 1...
I have to agree on what you said it is a gold rush with the rise of Steem and SBD that I held the last three months and the price of both skyrocketing last December I did a test pay out and converted about 15 SBD and got about 150 USD which amounts to about 7700 Philippine peso. A little gift to myself for the holidays as well as proof that earning in Steemit is not a scam.
Unfortunately here in the Philippines, Facebook is king. We have one of the heaviest concentration of active users who average at least 8 hours of use a day. Whenever I talk to people about the merits of Steemit all I get are answers that it's a scam that how would we monetize our content because we are ordinary people. They could not believe it and they go on spending their time looking at their phone tapping away and commenting their while Mark grows even richer with selling their viewing and selling habits.
Then I posted proof of my payout and the unbelievers started asking how?? Nothing motivates people like seeing proof.
75% of what I get I hold here and it revolves around contests, bots and powering up. I am just obsessed with stackin power! I want to reach 1000 SP but right now I bought delegation from @blocktrades to power me up albeit artificially.
25% I use to cash out some to buy steem in exchanges, some other alts and ICOs. Some times again I reward my self.
In a month I have cash out just 50 sbd and that is about 400 usd which is about 20 grand in pesos. The average minimum wage of a person here is about 200 usd a month. I got 20 usd from one post, one day that I made a quality content post. That is how hard things are in a third world country like the Philippines is. So showing that it can be done we got so many people who started in Steemit last December.
From 10 people we are now at 100+ in @steemitfamilyph. That was one of the reasons I bought delegation to be able to help teh New ones.
We gave them the expectations that Steemit is not easy. It's going to take time, good quality posts and building relationships. So they can't expect making 100's right away. But nothing demotivated people more than seeing zeroes so with my delegated power I am able to get them to at least a dollar amount. 7 dollars or 350 pesos for doing something that they would normally waste watching a video in Facebook or comment on the latest drama they have with friends and family seems that getting that 7 dollars is better.
The two examples you gave getting a grand a month made me hungry to get that! I'll continue getting people, building relationships and writing good content.
It is a gold rush and I am in and will be a Steemit millionaire in the Philippines in account of my creativity, marketing and relationship building. It is mine.
Thank you for this post @maverickinvictus.
This is wonderful and if you keep posting like this, you will soon be at the 1,000 in a week mentioned in this article. It is possible.
Congrats on getting some involved. I work with a guy who is from the Phillipines and got him involved in Manna because that is exactly the area we want to help. If you havent done so already, please follow the link at the end of this article and sign up. I would suggest you then use your referral link to sign up all of those people you got involved in STEEM here. Manna will give them crypto currency for free...one that is designed to help eliminate poverty around the world.
This story that you told is what gets me excited. To know that your life was changed and that one vote from me can make such a different in your life. It is wonderful to see.
Thank you so much for the comment.
Omg I am floored!! Thank you so much and indeed that vote will go to my road to 60 fund where in I'll have increased visibility, voting and curating powers!
I have also registered. I am an addict on New coins, air drops and bounties. I will spread it!
I wish I hadn't missed the opportunity to join the 1KSP program, I presume it is closed now :)
As a side note, I just watched an episode of gold rush the other day and was thinking of how much work some people have to put in to get ahead in life. We are fortunate that all we have to do is harness our creativity.
I hope you have a great week man!
I love the fact that steemit has brought the cryptocurrency world down to a "common man" level. You don't need to put in money, you don't need to know how to mine. Now, because of steemit, you can actually "mine" crypto just by posting, commenting and curating. It pulled me not only into the world of crypto, but also online like never before. I've even called steemit the "spider" that finally got me caught in the worldwide web!
Nice job @taskmaster4450! Keep it up!
Thank you @papa-pepper.
Steemit is a wonderful on ramp for most people into the crypto world. While I had some coins before joining here, my knowledge has really taken off since I joined here. There is so much information from people who really know what they are talking about when it comes to crypto. Each of us is better served by the wealth of knowledge shared on here.
I will keep it up...this has turned into a passion for me....there is a new path being laid and it is up to all of us to carry the torch forward to all the rest.
Its a tough slog but will be worth it in the end. Ive been here since august and have managed to grow slowly.
It does take time and effort but to be honest i enjoy it way more than any other social media or online site that i have used.
The interaction and effort put in by the users is fantastic, so its great to see the rewards that are coming at the moment. When there are 1 million users on the site its going to be a lot more scarce so its worth trying to build now.
Unfortunatly while ive tried to talk many of my friends into joining and trying their hand at the experience only a couple have joined and have yet to really get involved.
I will keep at them though and they will eventually be hooked like i am.
You're exactly right on all accounts.
I've seen posts on Steemit, from obviously very new users, saying that "Steemit is a scam," or that only the whales make all the money. That's (obviously) not true. I rarely post, not because I don't want to, or I'm too lazy, but because I just don't seem to come up with good ideas for quality posts.
However, I've done (I believe) fairly well by just curating, and leaving honest, thoughtful, comments. You really should do a little better than, "Good post." lol
I haven't done as well as the two examples you gave, but I remember that I started with absolutely nothing! If people keep in mind that every reward that they earn now, will almost certainly be multiplied many times over in the future, it may keep them interested.
I look at it like we're building something great here, and getting paid (potentially) a large sum of money to do it.
Thanks for your post.
Regardless of what you make on here, I feel it is more than you would get off Wordpress, blogger, reddit or youtube.
Those sites are not known for sharing the wealth with the average Joes and Janes.
If people can take a long term view, they will quickly see there is incredible potential.
Yup, I recently cashed out some SBD's and I earned more from Steemit in the last two weeks than my monthly salary. But again, let's say Steem price comes down to 1 or 0.5, we still should be writing with dedication and consistency.
If STEEM goes down to $1 or $.50, I will be buying a ton of STEEM...I can assure that...and so will so many people on here.
Exactly, will do the same, even if I have to spend fiat currency, i will do that! This platform is the only light see in the darkness of my life!
Your article is very motivational and some of your response comments are exceptional.
I would like to add my own experience, even though up until now it has not been explosive, it has begun to move more quickly. I've been here almost 8 months, actively participating on a daily basis. I made some errors by posting my introduction too early and not learning how to make an effective introduction, not formatting my content well until I finally learned how, etc. Despite all that, I'm still doing (in my mind) quite well for someone who hasn't been here from the very early stages of Steem.
I run a weekly contest intended to support those with smaller accounts and it struggled to get noticed, but in the last 2 weeks there has been quite an increase in the number of participants. I suppose that could be because my VP is now giving out decent rewards and I up-vote all valid entries so that everyone that participates gets at least an up-vote. With the value of the SBD up so high, even my relatively small prize pool is also worth more now.
I also run a daily zombie adventure game. Although the game takes a lot of my time to manage it, I think it ads value to the platform in that people can earn rewards simply from having fun playing an on-line game! Due to all the time I spend managing the game, I have not been able to create many other articles, but I'm still growing my account faster now than I have ever done in the past.
It seemed like forever to gather my first 100 Steem, but once I reached that goal, I attained my 2nd goal of 500 Steem very quickly. My next goal is to have 1,000 Steem and I'm confident that will happen soon enough. I think it is like starting a snowball; at first it takes a lot of effort to get the ball started, but once it reaches a certain size, it picks up more and more and gets bigger faster, simply by keeping it moving. If it rolls down a hill, it could grow huge all by itself! That "hill" would be the price of Steem going up!
All great points....it is not a get rich quick scheme but rather a process where each action builds upon the next. Do something today and you will build upon it tomorrow. Each SP that enters the account is multiplied in additional VP which will net you more SP. Over time, with effort it can grow.
Absolutely!
Thank you for yet another shout out and your continued support @taskmaster4450. I've done my best to balance a full time job, 11 month old, house upkeep, and still spend quality time with family and friends while getting my start here.
The best advice I can give for someone just starting is comment, and don't just comment to comment. Comment when you either a) have something add to the post, b) something to ask, or c) something funny. Just the other day I had a $66 payout on a comment because I took the time to write out 3 paragraphs and hit on the topic. It's not a frequent thing to get upvoted by whales, but it does happen.
One other obvious thing is introduce yourself, you can wait til you have a few followers but it always helps to have a post up for people who become interested in you from the comments you post.
Don't say follow for follow, don't only say nice post, don't comment in something uncomprehensible. Find people who post articles you like and follow them. After you gain a small following you can start posting with moderate success. Post consistently and you will gain followers consistently. Find out what you can add, write what you know or post your projects. Follow people who set a good example of success. I'm about to toss @spiritualmax a follow because it looks like he has some quality stuff and he knows the power of gifs (copied ya).
Don't expect success right away, just add value consistently and it will come.
People are starting to realize the greatness and numerous benefits of Steem. The revolution is coming and Steem's price and user base is not slowing down anytime soon. It is a shame people still hold the belief that Steem is a get rich scheme and don't put any effort into it but expect tons of money. However, those people are quickly becoming the minority and Steem will play a big part in the revolution and taking down banksters. Keep up the awesome content. I have been slacking but I will get back to writing very soon.
You bring up valid points @notoriousrebel.
There are so many who believe Steemit is either a get rich scheme or a scam. It is neither. What is required is dedication and effort. Some might end up making a ton more than others but all can profit. There is no reason why everyone who comes to steemit cant have their lives altered.
This is a place will be the centerpiece to so many lives...it will be incredible.
