I have reached a great milestone of 200 followers here in steemit. Thanks to everyone to support me enjoy this platform. So here I am with a new post on this occassion which I hope will help everyone reach greater milestones.

Blogging is something which I learned by myself and always wanted to help others by blogging. I chose blogging first as a hobby and which later turned out to be my passion. Blogging seems to be a lot easier to outsiders when you know how hard you have tried just to craft a blog post. It takes one or a couple of sleepless nights and strained eyes still looking for some datas or reading others posts looking for ideas for your next blog post.

I discovered Steemit about a month ago and have been actively sharing my stories, experiences and whatever I have learned in my blogging career till now. Its not that I have been doing actually great in terms of SBDs or SP but it feels great to share your knowledge and read the valuable words of others at the same time.

Yes I admit that my early days on Steemit has been real frustrating to me as it is for most of the newbies on steemit. I was trying hard to write a lot of crafted blog posts but still end up without making a dollar on any posts. But I have realised that Patience and hard work is what is needed for the success on steemit after reading a lot of blog posts from the sucessful steemians. So this post is dedicated to all the newbies and also some steemians like me still trying to figure out what it takes to write a 100$ blog post. I will be writing on how I motivate myself whenever I am frustrated here on steemit. I hope these will be helpful for you as well to make patience to get the aspired success of blogging here in steemit.

1. Blog For Yourself First

Before you think about a topic that you think may be the next great post of the category, think about a post you are good at. Write about something that makes you happy or the thing you are deadly passionate about.
I have been sharing a lot about myself and everything I am passionate about. If you are good at cooking, write a complete post on making some yummy dish. If you are passionate about engineering then make a post on how you make an automobile or anything like that :p . In this way you can write an indepth article with all your heart , make it your masterpiece and I'm sure that will be the next great post on steemit.

2. Making Connections

I think this one is an important step to keep yourself motivated and at the same time get some suggestions of your work which may eventually help great on steemit. There are many great chat groups on steemit.chat and discord server which you can join and start making connections through text chats. Another great way to make loyal connections in steemit is commenting. Choose from the tags of your interest and click on blog posts and start commenting valueable feedback and your queries after reading the complete blog post. But make sure you don't comment something like "nice posts" or "follow me" or else you may end up getting flagged.

3. Expectation Hurts

This heading actually feels like it is for a relationship tips post :p but I think expecting too much is what demotivates us in this platform. Excepting is good after we write a blog posts with a lot of hard work and research. But never expect too much that your every post will do good in terms of earnings. We are still learning and there'll one day we'll be making the figures on the posts as today's whales or successfull steemians are making.

4. Stay Away From Those Who Demotivates You

When I joined steemit I met some people on different chat server and in my daily life as well who demotivated me about blogging. But I was not among the one who would give up on their words.
Stay away from these people and don't get yourself demotivated from the negative feedbacks on your blog posts. Rather take those as suggestions to improve your blog posts.

5. Give up your Social Media Fever

As I stated above you need a lot of motivation and hard hours to be successfull on steemit. How can you concentrate on your great post when you see your friend posting his great holiday pics on social media profiles?
I actually deleted my facebook profile before I joined steemit and all I care about is Steemit now. Steemit is the future of social media and blockchain based content publishing site. So take your time away from social media dramas and invest it in steemit.

Final Words

Saying all these don't make it so hard on you as well to get success on steemit. Keep writing and publishing your master peices on steemit and never give up. There are always someone like you who will really appreciate your articles. Don't stop writing just because you are getting negative feedbacks or not making enough SBDs. One day your hard work will pay for sure. And remember you are just one post away from making it big on steemit and your next article may be the one that accelerates your steemit blogging career.
