Consistency and originality is the key to success on Steemit
Steemit is a very wonderful community few whales (big boys) and lots of minnows. From observation, Whales hardly upvote minnows maybe because they are busy with other things or they are searching for the right post to upvote. And newbies constantly seeking attention of the whales, because just one 100% on their post will make their post earnings look good.
I've seen a lot of friends get discouraged because they couldn't make more than what they made on their very post "introduceyourself" post.
This is my friend @joeraphael, he made over $20 on his "introduceyourself" post.
"" @joeraphael has not made up to $2 on any of his post after that""
I know there are lots of people who stopped using Steemit because of reasons like this And thought to themselves that their reputation will never get over 40. But no, Your reputation isn't growing because you're missing out some simple guidelines and maybe because of plagiarism. (If you want to post a content which wasn't originally made by you, make sure you test it with plagiarism-checker http://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/) and follow good tutorials on YouTube channel to learn how to get started with Steemit.
The way forward
Since your post is not getting the attention of the whales, all you need to do is to be consistent,original, and seek to improve and help others understand how to use steemit. You can't grow without helping others grow.
The purpose of steemit for me is not make money (even though i'll make money) . It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to share ideas and thoughts and to see my followers grow. ” “No one has ever become poor by giving."
If you write 4 articles on several topics a day and get $0.5 on each of those post, don't be sad because you were previously posting on Facebook and didn't get a penny . lol. Just do a little math.
4 post * $0.5 = $2 a day
$2 a day * 31 days in a month = $62 a month.
actually you get award when u post 4 times a day
- My first job I had as a graduate in Nigeria was around $30* but I was never discouraged because
. I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” –Michael Jordan, NBA Legendary Basketball MVP
And
Chase the vision, not the money; the money will end up following you.” –Tony Hsieh, Zappos CEO
Just interact with other people on the Steemit community, don't try to get rich quick by copying other people's post, seek to improve the community and not to get from the community, when you do all these and more, you'll become a whale soon.

Lovely post brother. We rep 9ja.
Steemit isn't a get rich quick scheme as many people see it, it's a gradual process that takes months to archive. Commitment, perseverance matters. I just wish many will read and dilute this article.
Yes oh, naija for life
Good thoughts. Slow and steady will win the race for those that persevere. You just earned my 100% tilapia upvote 😂😝
Lol tilapia? You'll be whale before the year ends
Great post! I was already beginning to feel discouraged about how to get followers but this helped alot. Thanks again. I will be sure to follow you
U welcome sir, I'm glad it helped you.
I'll advise too you expand your network of Steemians. Join chat groups that have whales, engage with them. Once you have that relationship they will give you a shot and read you. Say they resteem you, that exposes you to a larger audience. My posts now get reasonable audience who look up to the next one, thanks to a group like that. You could check out https://discord.gg/HYj4yvw. If you like what they're doing there, stay. Check it out. And there's a Nigerian community there as well
new GOALS 4 a day :) thanks!! :)
I'll watch out for your post. Following you already
yes facebook chat :) same .. thanks.. :)
Oh ok
Consistent action over time can yield prodigious results. Every successful person we know of knows this from personal experience.
Consistent action over time also demonstrates faith in oneself. The quiet determination of knowing that every "no" is one step closer to a "yes". The quiet determination of knowing that with every post, exposure of my work and talent increases. This is what I bank on when I write articles for Steemit.
This reply alone is inspirational. thanks for sharing
Can't be mad even when your only making a few cents on a post...still better than Facebook!
Exactly, I've been on Facebook for over, 5 years
This is a great post. Very encouraging. I didn't know you could post 4 times a day. Does that not take away some of your effectiveness?
Nope, actually you get award when u post 4 times a day
Thanks! I'm still not sure about the reward system on here. Like how much voting is overkill, etc. But I guess I will learn as I go along. Do you know of any articles that make the learning process easier?
