How to make a lot of money on Steemit

Steem isn't going anywhere so I would not suggest cashing out your steam. Never the less, here are the best ways to make good money on Steemit.

Creation is KEY
If you are a high enough level, voting can get you paid. However, for now, its best just to be putting out material of useful content, if you don't know what to post about just think about things with value to others, guides, tutorials, tips, ideas! I would recommend spending some time to look that the top posts and see what they are doing that you aren't. Some run their account as a usual social network account but I would imagine unless your slightly famous or you don't do anything of interest this may take a while to get going.

BUILD YOUR SP
This is very important. Your SP is your steam power which earns you STEEM, as the power builds you earn more power which creates more so it is vital to build this. To do this It comes from getting involved and producing good articles, voting and commenting.

DO NOT BE LAZY!
The more you use the more you get, kind of like anything with life, the more energy and time you input the more you get! Steemit won't be the place you get rich off pictures (this is not to say you shouldn't use them), put some effort in and create something interesting and useful. Posts don't take long when you're used to it, so just think before long you will be doing well! However, make sure to take your time to produce something that adds value.

USE PHOTOS
Using photos helps break the text up and makes the article more attractive. If you own the pictures just add them to the article! If you are getting them from google watch out to make sure you are not breaking copyright laws!

COMMENT, COMMENT, COMMENT!
You can comment which can earn you little or a lot, it does depend on if the article does well and attracts lots of viewers but even so it will be building your SP slowly.

STAY ACTIVE
Try to keep consistent as with any social network this will ensure your building SP and be earning from people voting your post! If you give up you'll never get there so try to post on regular days of the week to make sure your putting content out.

AND REMEMBER! KEEP YOUR STEEM!
Keep your wallet growing and earn more and more! This way soon you will be able to just upvote and earn a lot of this! Do not get discouraged if at first, your posts aren't making money any account takes lots of time and energy to get started!

BEST TO ALL :)
