I change my blogstyle + I will upvote comments from now on
WHAT WILL I CHANGE?
First i will need to explain to you in short how my journey went here on steemit since june 2017.
I was enthousiastic about the platform and did some efforts to find out what I had to offer the community.
I liked humor and was into science so I decided to bring forward some of that.
No big deal, not hours of writing or thinking before making a post, hell not even in my new approach will I work hours on a post because I just do not have the time for that. So i messed around a little. I posted some stuff I found here and there, some facts, some jokes etc.
but then came the first kicking in. By that i mean I started thinking about putting more efforts in it, see it a little bigger, believe that someone could be interested in what I wrote and accually upvote my post.
Experience told me that when i, now and then, puttedsome more time in my posts the reward was the same as if I just quickly put something on the screen wich costed me 1 minutes, meaby only 30 seconds.
so i got demotivated
Weeks later i started more with content that came from myself, more about what interested me and what i felt like telling the community. I started writing more from the heart and because i felt an urge for it.
That urge finaly made his big entry today. I decided I would make a little less posts in numbers but put more efforts in it.
and to upvote most of the comments people will make on my post!
I wanna eaern on steemit like everyone else, but I want more then that. I wanna build up some connection with my fellow steemians and the people following me and accualy read what I am writing.
Not only take something but also give something back to those people!
I noticed people who upvote the comments have a stronger following and receive more quality upvotes.
So I am sitting on almost 1200 steempower and my upvote, even with low steemprice around 94 cents, I can still upvote
around 11 cents at full power. At 50% thats still 6 cents.
So my goal from now on is to get noticed and handle my different approach to make the journey more interesting for everyone. I hope in some time from now i also have those people following me and upvoting my posts on daily base and earn more then cents. Now if I do earn its because of sending money to randowhale or minnowbooster.
So I hope you enjoyed my post and I will upvote from now on the best comments! I am looking forward to hear what you think about it! Feel free to upvote and resteem aswell!
This is very insightful about the upvotes. I am new on here, and usually am more of a lurker on most social media platforms. That said, here are my two cents:
I work as a Financial Analyst, and my boss requires all analysis to be consolidated into a one-page write up. Think of it like a white paper, but simplified. The idea is that anything that you understand well can be simplified into a concise one-pager and it is more accessible to the reader.
Since I will be performing analysis across various aspects of the crypto space, I actually signed up here to have an outlet for my crypto-related one-pagers. That helps me focus and refine my thinking.
While things like upvoting comments will be helpful for you, the greatest value will be in identifying why you post and focusing on that. If your reason why is to get paid, then think about how you can add value that people will promote/upvote, and focus on that instead of on getting paid.
Most super-wealthy see money as a benchmark, not as the objective.
great insight!
Thank you!

very true!
This is the new thing about steemit, it gives rewords, but I belive that shouldn't be the focus, try to compaire it to facebook and and instagram, and think about haw much money people make with those platforms without the rewords, just by building up following , as an artis I see steemit as a doorway to a new early adopters market and from that I can build folowing and a collectors base. There for putting up my best content is my focus
yes indeed, and For myself I really am being enthousiastic to provide such content and quality. Its more then just rewards. Once you feel and understand and think like that..

This may sound cheep but I feel the same.
Getting started on this platform is hard, if you don't have a few honderd dollars to boost your account first.
Even if you write great content, changes are slim that more then 10 people will read it.
And then you see others commenting on posts and earning way more, while they didn't put as much effort in it. Which feels unfaire and lets many people to be dis-encouraged.
Why am I spending a great deal of time on a article. Which probably won't be read by too many people. While comments with a quick joke, often get great rewards. I asked myself.
This let be to abandoning my account. For a few weeks.
Nowadays I things are a little bit better. I can make some pennies every day. Not anything that pays the bills. But it's a few bucks a month, so I'm happy with it.
As for commenting I try specifically take time to read articles from new users. Trying to give them a change. My two pennies upvote isn't going to do much. But at least I can comment on their posts and let them know that at least one person has taken the time to read the article.
thats what i was thinking aswell.But earning pennies now can make alot of difference when steemprice will rise. I wish you the best of luck!Steem on and thanks for commenting!
I'm coming from the land of facebook pages and on steemit i'm still trying to feel out for what works and what doesn't so it's good to know others experiences. So I thank you for sharing some of yours.
it is my pleasure friend!
Shut up and take my comment.
It is a nice initiative!I love the ideea of helping each other,and giving back to people and this platform is perfect for that.I will follow you ^^
You don't need to follow me back if you don't want to.
Cheers ^^
thanks for your support!
Anytime :3
I started June like you did but left for about 3 months and came back, however in such a short amount of time to earn 1200 steem, how did you do it?
Daily i made posts and comments, ow and then i paid like 50$ for some more steem. I started with 360 steem and look now! most of it I earned by steeming daily haha :)
If you put some efforts in it you can decently earn something here. And later when steemprice rise it can be 10 times if not 100 times more. SO earn today 1 steem = 1 dollar and next year or the year after the 1 steem can be worth 10$. See my point? Thanks for reading and commenting ;)
Thank you I understand now 🙂
you are welcome friend! be active now that steem is cheap and even if you feel like you didnt earn much, be consistent and it will be rewarded!
Your post was fun to read and to learn good luck! Maybe I'll get the hang of it
