Make a step forward and start blogging
Is this another post on Steemit about Steemit itself, it's system and users?
Like we are not enough with that, Steemit seems to be a topic that cannot be drained. I am pleased to see that some people who started as simple bloggers actually started to earn some serious money here after a long struggle to get the attention of other more powerful users. I don't even need to mention the waves of new users coming every day, hoping for success and being optimists about the price of Steem and everything around Steemit.
But it seems that it is not easy to get more than 7-8 upvotes if you are new user and you can get stuck in 0.07$ for a very long time.
That can frustrate the user and, if the one is an idiot, he actually believes that Steemit can make him rich over night. Well, it happened to very few people and it is better not to think about it.
Lately, I noticed that the most of new users post only entries to different contests and challenges.
Well, it is great that they have the opportunity to compete, but you can't make it here only by making entries for contests because these posts are not real posts and can be categorized as the shitposts. Since many claim that any original content can't be shitposting only because it is someone's original work, I wouldn't make the judgement about what is considered as a shitpost and what isn't.
But the point is, no matter about your talents, nobody will notice you if you only post entries for photo contests, meme contests, etc. It' OK to have something to write about or when you can push your awesome photo as some entry for something, but it is much easier when you have good foundations as a Steemit blogger. So I think it's time for many of you to start write a blog.
It can be problem to find what to write about.
Many users have their niche, that's a little bit easier blogging, especially if your niche is wide and inexhaustible. There are complex niches, simple niches, but I think that everyone can find himself somewhere. Photography, nature, travel, cooking... these are all awesome topics for making your Steemit foundations.
If you think that you have an interesting life story or interesting way of thinking, you can make it here with no niche at all, just be honest and write from your heart.
Steemit is not just about the luck and the catching someone's attention. Much of it depends on your hard work. But much of it also doesn't.
So you moved from so called "shitposts" to real blogging and you gave so much efforts to do it, but it seems that it didn't get the results you hoped for. Do not get discouraged, that's how it goes around, but if you make proper blog posts, there are much bigger chances that you will be noticed than if you post only contest entries.
"Be consistent and persistent in your hard work and when you succeed, when you get many many followers and ew strong supporters, you will be able to make as much shitposts as you want and, sadly, make money with them."
No Comment..
Well said..
The game is so hard..
Wish you a great weekend..
Knowing the problems, knowing the generosity
Stand behind those that SUPPORT!
I wonder how many did actually Read!
Thank you, my friend, you too
That's very true, all steemians should produce original content by selecting a topic based on their hobbies , interest and continuously write on it, i am sure results would be far better.
Exactly
Great advice
And makes me realize I need to rethink about the content and frequency of my posts
Thanks
You have amazing photos and keep doing it
Thanks but sometimes I feel I need to write more with them
This reminds me on how I began my spying series:)
I love that series
It’s br
Yes i truly agree with you, alot of newbies here on this platform feel discouraged at their first few posts after getting stuck to their $0.07$ as you said. So it takes a hardworking, persistent, non relenting user to succeed on this platform with good posts and content too.
True
I think many get trapped into the challenges, not knowing the platform enough initially and loving bots to comment (as it's at least a comment). But it's always consistent hard work that does the trick.
Not sure myself on what to write about exactly though but this seems to be key "just be honest and write from your heart." So will work on that.
Nice, that is what I do! Glad if my words could help
Having a direction to follow or a niche to delve into, is a good reminder for all. Good material needs inspiration. You can get inspiration from other steenian's posts, as long as you keep it original. Cheers
Thank you
Motivational and informative post, You are doing a great job. Thanks for sharing @dymar022
Thank you!
Super!

This post is the best post I read that address challenges faced by minnows trying to break forth and also get rewarded for their efforts. You are speaking the mind of many newcomers including me. Contest is a way of getting fast at least for your efforts when the blog's post won't blow. Not getting a dollar for your well written and researched can be frustrating. I guess it is about having a right balance, have an identity and keep on steeming.
Just keep steemin-only that
So true. Taking the step to blog is important. So is thick skin. A post may not make a penny at first, but the next day you make two cents, and for me, Im like WooHoo, I doubled my worth! No where to go but up! Congrats on your Steemit success. Blessings
Thank you
