Steem School EP 31 - How to Live From Steemit Without Investing Money Into it
Many people wonder if you can make serious progress without investing any money into Steemit.
The answer is that you can make serious money here on Steemit without even investing 1 cent into it.
I can live from Steemit only and I focus 100% on Steemit. I paused my translation business and with Steemit I don't have to deal with customers anymore.
Anyone who has to deal with customers on a daily basis knows how annoying that is. I am single and I live in an apartment of 50 square meters which is a good amount of space for 1 person.
Rent + Food + Electricity + Water + Other bullshit costs me around 750-800 Euros per month.
With Steemit only I make around 2000-3000 Euros per month, you can imagine how easy life is for me at the moment (financially speaking).
So how do you get that amount of cash without investing 1 cent into Steemit?...
Iron Discipline and Divine Willpower
You will need the discipline of a grandmaster and the willpower of an angry fanatic. That means you will have to piss on your feelings and do the work anyway!
It means that you do the work when you are depressed, frustrated, angry, sad, high on drugs, in the hospital or when you had sex 5x in a row and can't move anymore.
You do the fucking work, Steemit is more important than your life. "But Phil isn't that extreme? You need balance and mimimi!"
Look, do you want to make a fuckton of money from home without customers or do you rather want to work from 9-5 for someone else not even making what I make in 1 month?
Thought so! Whoever said that being successful on Steemit is easy is still right because compared to blogging this shit is easy money.
All you have to do is to do the fucking work however you feel!
You guys probably never worked till you dropped asleep on the keyboard. Then don't cry about hard work, this shit here is fucking simple and easy compared to working 9-5!
Steemit is literally the best money making opportunity since the creation of the Internet!
What You Need to Do
You need to write 2 posts per day, form connections with 10 people only and learn more about Steemit for 10 minutes per day and never quit doing that (discipline & willpower!)
And that is the success formula which I wrote about 2 months ago and the same damn shit is still fucking true.
Yes, you won't make shit in the first 1-3 months, I didn't even make 100 SBD in the first 2 months. And I didn't cry about it, I thought that it is fucking awesome!
Compared to blogging where you barely make cash in the first year this is peanuts! Now I made over 1600 SBD (what I have in my wallet + what I cashed out) -> 1 SBD is almost worth 6 USD at the moment, do the math.
Conclusion
Stop being weak, learn more for 10 minutes per day, form connections with 10 people only and post twice per day and never quit.
3-5 months of doing that and you can quit your slave job and thank me.
This had to be said in a harsh way, most people don't read the article and post some nice comments to get upvotes.
2-3 months later these people writing the nice comments are still at the same place in their life because they fail to apply what I am saying here, or they don't write shit at all, you won't make that good cash here by commenting only!
And if you write comments (writing comments to make money is a bad tactic) make sure you write them on the blogs of the people that really matter (your 10 chosen people) to strengthen the relationship with them.

Great post. This reminds me back when I had started seen some results with other stuff, the number one thing I did was to focus on the least amount of things. One thing to be do exact. Many people try to do way to many things and spread themselves thin.
Steadfastness & Focus is key as well.
I absolutely agree with what you say, very good input Valg.
Message received and understood - this is my first day and I know I have a lot to learn, so 10 mins a day sounds easy-peasy, but I get it - it all mounts up and makes a difference, I an determined and will just "do it" now, I need to find some interesting folks to follow!!
I suggest to follow these people: @Flauwy, @Humanearl, @Hopehuggs & @Booster916
This video really drives in a sharp rusty nail of truth. Old stuff we already know, but we haven't followed through as well as we could be doing. Your video makes a good impact that way. I definitely do not have the 10 consistent people yet to interact with, and that is probably the best core message, because you can vote 100% ten times every day, and half the job is done for the day. Even though I don't get $10 per post, every once in a while I post something that is way higher than that in value, and it motivates me to keep pushing out content, no matter how random it may be. Someone might appreciate the content, the effort, or the impact of what I shared. Keep it up. I still think I am going to crush you!
Very good comment CT. Just like I replied below a different comment on this post, imagine where you would be in 1 year if you never missed a day of posting, training or reading or all of them.
You would become the above average person in just 1 year, I am now at 4 months of not missing a day.
It is a bit depressing sometimes not getting feedback on stuff you worked hard on but I am not giving up. I do allow myself time to feel sorry for myself and then just dust off the sand I was wallowing in and keep on going. Thing is that I really believe in the wider potential of this platform way beyond just making money and getting recognition. I think it has the potential to bring serious change to wider global social and political mechanics. I am hoping very much that that potential will grow from plant into a tree ...
Steemit is the money-making opportunity since the creation of the Internet.
nods but I also see it as potentially changing the political game as there will be ways to use it to disrupt the abuse of the powers corporations have over our governments and lives.
Hey Man,
You really inspire me. I know anyone can say words of wisdom but main thing is acting on them and you are doing that.
There are many people who talk a lot but when it comes about implementation they will never show up but you are doing what you said and I like that the most about you.
Count me in with you in this journey. I will be part of it and when you achieve that I will be one of others who will tell the people that yes he did that for real and how did he do that.
I am also on a mission right now, I am collecting money from my steemit earnings and bitcoin cloud mining to attend summer school this year at London School of Economics or Oxford or Kings College London.
So let's support each other and help achieving our goals. More importantly, let's become part of each others journey. Hugs
To the point. Truth is always naked.
I've noticed more minnows start identifying you on the first 2 days, which means you are good in what you do. (I got to know you on the 2nd or 3rd day)
There are other ways as you mentioned to earn money from Steemit. Thanks for the blogs that introduced me to some awesome tools when I was brand new to this whole thing.
We need more folks like you.
Thank you SS.
That is the point. Just put in extra, dig deep. Keep posting and commenting, keep a new beautiful to talk about even if you don't feel like posting...whatever feeling you having, push it aside and put in some work.
I quitted my slavery job a month in Steemit, I was not making a tonne (I am still not). I saw the potential of growing here and making some some money with some freedom. Its getting better and it can only get better.
Thank you for another great post.
Check out @Humanearl, If I remember correctly he quit his job some time ago as well and he is absolutely killing it here on Steemit!
One thing is seeing the potential, another is giving it all it takes.
I will check out his blog now.
That's some serious discipline. 750-800 Euros per month on BS and utilities seems like sooo much money, you would live like a king in South America ;). I guess Europe has no room for slackers, that's good. You will get an iron will when you complete the year. You give very valuable info, thanks.
Thank you Creativista.
Its Really helpful Information here, Thank you
Thats remind me the first time when i earned money online from " Launch jacking" , I just focused on this method for 2 weeks then i got my Rewards.
Can you make an article explaining how to do form connections with 10 people in Steemit?
Do you mean 10 people everyday?

Thank you
I am 1 week in, and already have followers, and have gained some SBD by studying and learning. I am also enjoying it. I have lot to learn though!
We all have to when we do something new and even more when we want to master something.
YES Philip you're the one I needed to wake me up! I've been on steemit for way to long now (joined in may 2017) but I've wasted so much time in failing to keep posting on a daily basis. I'm going to start watching all of your videos and reading your logs (starting from the bottom) to grasp a better understanding of the work that lies ahead and de dedication that is needed. All I can say is that I'm extremely excited for what lies ahead and I want to thank you for keeping it real and opening my eyes.
Imagine what you could accomplish if you never missed a day of training, writing 2 posts per day on Steemit and reading a book every week, in just 1 year you would accomplish what others worked their whole life for and more.
Damn, I think I would be hella ripped if I never skipped training. From today I'm going to commit to the plan: 2 steemit posts a day , 10 strong connections, reading up on steemit for 10-30 minutes, reading and learning as much as possible. I need this discipline for university next year.
Sounds good, now you need to put in the action.
