⏺Progressing on Steemit! Part 1
I had a request recently to make a post about how newer people here can start progressing on Steemit. I took a look at a few people's profiles who were complaining about their progress. I am making this a generalized post. Nothing targeted at anyone specific.
If you notice you are lacking in some of these things, then just take it with a grain of salt, and use the info as you wish.
This is Part 1 of this 3-part series. Each post will have 2 main points. Enjoy!
A common (Also obvious) reason for people to not making any visual progression on their blogs is because no one is seeing the content. When joining any social-platform, the top priority next to quality content, is followers.
Your main objective should be to gain followers that are viewing your content. So, this is definitely the first thing I noticed about all the pages I checked-out. Many of then have very few people seeing their content.
Now sure there are a few people who have quite an amount of followers, but that's not the only thing you need here. Those followers need to actually enjoy your content, and engage with you. So just spamming a bunch of people is not going to help here.
It's all a Law of Average. There will always be a certain percentage of your followers that react a certain way. Depending on the quality of your content, they will react accordingly. It's also a little obvious. It's no coincidence that @Sweetsssj gets so much engagement, compared to someone who posts a single picture. Just real talk.
So now you understand that you need a strong following, but how do you achieve this? That extends onto the next point.
If you are going to come here and complain about not making progress, but then think the solution will come without a sacrifice, then you are mistaken. This might sound cliche', but for every positive, there is a negative. If you want to be seen, you need to politely put yourself in front of others.
Note I said 'politely put yourself'. That means by not seeming too needy. You need to provide value to people. There are so many examples around us of how not to do things, so use this and do the opposite.
I don't want to talk like I have 20K+ followers already, but I can safely say that I have been doing this for the past 46 days, and you can judge my results accordingly. I am quite satisfied with my current progress, but again, it's purely my perspective on how I would do things.
Don't complain if you have done anything less than 1000 posts (Engagements). It also needs to be in a shorter space of time. It's all about compressing time-frames. If you do 1000 posts in a period of a month, compared to doing the same amount of posts in the span of a week, which do you think will do you better? I am confident that doing it in a shorter period of time will gather more attention!
Remember, you can have the best content in the world, but if no one sees it, then it really has no value. Get yourself out there!
This was Part 1 of the 3-part post! I will be revealing two points for each post. Keep in touch for part 2!
If you think someone you know deserves a shout-out, you are always welcome to let me know! Yes, you may nominate yourself, only if you really think your content deserves more exposure. Your results need to speak for themselves :) I choose a new person every week for the Shout-Out Saturday post! So stay tuned, it might be you!
More than how much my posts can make, I care far more about getting my content in front of newer faces. So if you would like to show your appreciation, you can share this with others!
I want this blog to be a happy, motivated place where you guys are free to engage and say whatever is on your mind. A place where if you have something on your mind, no matter how dramatic it may be, you can feel free to speak. Resteems are appreciated!
I reward good resteems and comments! I would love to know what's on your mind. Be bold and talk to me in my comments section! I would to know your opinion and what it is you'd like to achieve. I am trying my best to make 2 high quality blog posts per day. So stay tuned!

keep it simple - rinse and repeat
Yes bro! The concept gets me so amped!
Its very common to see new users complaining about the rewards not realizing the amount of effort the other person has put to reach their current status. Steemit is not the platform to earn quick money. One has to give to the community to earn rewards in the future. And, I think more than the rewards if you focus on good content you will start having a fruitful experience.
PS: I enjoy reading your posts and the way you format and stuff. Keep up the good work mate.
So true my man! Well said.
Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate that :) I definitely agree. Things aren't always as glorious as they seem. If I look at a guy driving his Ferrari.. Most people will be jealous, saying he is so lucky, etc. No, we don't know what he had to go through to achieve his success :) I love this example, because it makes me so much more excited about thinking when one day that will be one of us in our Ferrari.
Thanks for stopping by! Talk soon.
Great start!
Thank you my friend :) You are a super star!
Talk soon.
Great advice. I think Discord is a valuable tool to network as well.
Agreed :) I think there should definitely be balance though. Sometimes chatting-away can be addictive, yet quite unproductive. However, I definitely agree that other forms of communication are really effective for building relationships with your audience!
Thanks for that. Talk soon.
Great advice. It is hard to get yourself known on this place, but I think that does a good job of weeding out the people who just think they can make an easy buck without putting much work in. The only people that's really going to work for is those with well-known, established blogs/social media outside of Steemit that can cross-post their original content. For the rest of us it's gonna take time and work!
Definitely a great point! It is definitely a challenge to get yourself decent exposure on any social media for that matter! It's like entering a dark tunnel. I suppose what can you do but hope that there is light on the other side if you just keep on moving!
Talk soon.
Definitely worth an upvote and a resteem :)
Ah thank you my friend :) I appreciate that!
Nice tips buddy and your progress is really good! You are a guideline for us. Upvoted
Thank you for your awesome words my friend. It's great to know that I can be a guideline example for others to follow! I will try my best to improve, and only become better. Let's raise the bar and really make an impact! What you think?
Of course! You'll always find me standing by you!
Uh well, you did some nice graphic out there! keep doing great work man, I am waiting for the next part
Thanks so much! I appreciate that you like the graphics :) Part 2 and 3 are up. Enjoy!
