RE: My time as a school teacher Part 5
I post a blog hints and tips post called college level education course.
This is meant to say to people writing and presenting is not easy and there are no fast ways to rewards, except for the chosen few. The chosen few are those people who have experience.
To earn a college degree it is 2 or 3 years of hard study and expense and practice to qualify as a teacher or accountant or whatever. The people earning money are experienced bloggers or authors or presenters.
I myself earn enough on steemit to buy chewing gum occasionally, that is because three months ago I was a terrible writer. Then I just became a bad writer after being promoted upward from terrible.
Now I am just a poor writer; but I am improving and having some fun spinning hints and tips and stories with some nice seeming random stranger friends I am making on steemit . . .
My advice if you do not like people, if you do not want to be involved in things then Steemit might not be for you, but rather you should try and find a niche or subject you are interested in and work to stamp your name all over that topic category tag.
Once your no longer a stranger, you will start to understand your place on Steemit; your mission should you choose to accept it is, just be adventurous : )

Interestingly I am not terribly worried about the money side, I am trying to figure out how to get read. Thank you for the encouragement, it is appreciated. As I said, I need to get an education about Steem and probably am further behind because I am not a Reddit guy.
I am no expert, especially upon the subject of Social Media . . .
However I think the best bang for my buck or time input would be something like this. Firstly find three topics you like and know something about, then make sure you also puruse STEEMIT and STEEM. These are your platform website topics so you should become familiar with some of all this : )
Make comments that are brief and respectful and helpful in your three chosen areas. Over time by being polite and respectful you will slowly build a following. I always follow anyone following me.
Currently I have 60 followers; I seek out those I like and post comments on their stuff, I upvote from my feed. My feed is not the whole of steemit, just those I am 'connected' with, like following.
I do not upvote to get upvotes, I upvote stuff I like or stuff I dislike but seems genuinely helpful or useful information. Over time you make connections, so make sure you never burn network bridges and always be considerate toward other steemians.
Slowly you will grow, especially if you work at getting better at writing and presenting. Nothing sucks worse on websites than hoping to get noticed and no one seems to be online.
Build up you online voice slowly, try and get real good at making noteworthy or interesting or entertaining posts; the rest will follow : )
Remember the people here had years of blogging experience and probably never made any real money, they just blogged because they felt their message was important . . .
See you on the BlockChain : )
