ARE YOU PUTTING IN THE WORK? Or are you just complaining about low payouts?

in #vlog6 years ago (edited)


Nothing we haven't heard about before but lately, with the low prices in STEEM, more users have been bitching about being uderappreciated for their work on here. Feeling of entitledness amongst some, is corrupting the minds of others.

Where does this end?

In bitterness towards others when their ridicilous expectetions aren't met.

While being in this negative state of mind these users can't see through their mistakes to realize that the only thing they are doing wrong is that they aren't commited enough.

THEY AREN'T PUTTING IN THE WORK!

Those who are, especially the ones who stay through the "tough times" will, if persistent enough surely be rewarded for their efforts.

The ones complaining while offering no value and putting in no WORK into their content will get eaten by the SKARKS, The Hustlers and the DOers.

Anyway, these are just my thoughts but I would like to hear what you think

I highly value your opinions and would like to discuss about this with you in the comments, so be sure to share your thoughts on this down there.

As always, one user who brings most value to the discussion will get my full upvote.

Finally, with that off my chest and on the blockchain, I can get some much needed SLEEP

Cya tomorrow!

When I first came to Steemit and dtube my initial reason was to find work opportunities on the internet, a kind of side income. Then, as I learnt more about the platform, I realize that it is not an easy place to make money. But it doesn't matter to me because I enjoy writing, taking photos and making videos. Since I started about a year ago, I have never got any substantial earning for months. But I am doing what I like and even cured my addiction to Facebook haha because now I spent my time mostly on Steemit.

I don't mind to work, work, work, because I enjoy it. And vlogging is a challenge for me because I am quite uneasy talking in public. I really want to overcome this challenge, because when I can do it, I'll become a new person. A person that I can be proud of. :-)

Thank you for having the right mentality towards your activities on here. You are destined to succeed if you continue posting and never get demotivated by "low payouts" the 5 Steem/week or whatever you are earnign now will soon be worth much more than 4$ :D

I look at 1 Steem at the price of 100$

Helps a lot when thinking about how much you are earning :D

Anywayy, did you send me that picture/title for the thumbnail. Didn't see you reply but might have missed it if you did.

Thank you. I haven't send you the picture. I will take a "proper" photo first, then I will send it. So far what I did is taking the snap from the video, and I don't think it has great quality.

Then take a "proper" send it in here and tell what title you would like + favourite color :D

There are two kinds of mentalities that people have whenever they join a new platform one is that they wanna WiN, win some respect, win some reputation, win some fame. They wanna prove themselves who they are and what they have and what they are capable of; while on the other hand, a mentality is just of EARNING from the platform.

BUT BELEIVE ME

THE PEOPLE WHO JUST HAVE THE MENTALITY OF

EARNING

CAN'T

WIN

I completely agree with you @runicar that you must WORK and keep WORkiN before expecting anything in return.

Thanks For This Video, this can be eye opener to many.

Cheers!

You got all the rigth points from my video, well done!

Work hard, play hard. Money will follow good intentions/actions.

Exactly that's what I too beleive,

WE would GET what WE DESERVE

Cheers !


Happy Diwali @runicar

It's a hard subject to talk about because some people dont understand it takes time. Your value isnt just your content but your time with the platform. Only the time you put in can get you to successful. I think a lot want the fast, instant gratification.

I think a lot want the fast, instant gratification.

Yes! That and nothing else haha. They wold like a bag of coins to fall into their lap without even moving a finger but we all know it doesn't work that way :D

Good meaningful content takes time to make. It takes effort and creativity. We all want upvotes and sometime you will get a random high upvote but for the msot part you have to build your reputation and put in the time and effort to build the following and the trust with your fans.

I think if people arent getting upvotes instead of whining and complaining the first thing they should do is take a look at their content and ask whats the message and value and how can I make it better than it is now.

Yes, time that the toxic users, with flawed mentality don't want to put into their content.

You couldn't have said this better hahah Wish more realized this and started putting in the work in their content instead in whining and complaining.

I try to give my opinion sir @runicar. If I am wrong, I hope you dont mind.

I am part of the steem user and until now I am still trying to work hard (giving positive content in wrting and photography, no plagiarsm) to the blockchain system. My reason is, First, until now, The Steem Blockchain is a the one media that keeps giving rewards for steemians. It doesn't matter big and small but always. Second, this world is world of tastes, is it true who work then complain? No. Why not we change the question, Is our content in accordance with your followers' tastes or qurator taste ? I am sure we can presented properly, a reward will surely comes. Third, rewards arise from whale and Redfish. There are still many reward objects that can we take a chance. don't just look up to whales. Last, if they complain when steem low, where they are when steem need help in netcoin contest ? Over one million steemian, but the participant lower then quantity of steemian. they dont take a part there. Even I am only redfish, I still support steem in 7 days. Thanks sir and God bless you for this spirit.

@khaimi you can't be wrong with sharing your opinion. There is no right and wrong here. I'm glad that you said what's on your mind.

There is only one point I would like to correct your thinking on.

One million accunts doesn't mean one million unique users.

A lot of people have bots, fake accounts, multiple accounts, project accounts, etc. The actual number of unique users is much smaller.

Daily active users is even less.

But we will build a strong community over time. The downtrends in thecrypto space are kicking users away from blockchain technology, STEEM especially. Now when they earn 5x less than a couple of months before, they don't want to invest their "precious time" here.

What a shame.....

Well yeah I really hope the users whoa re asking these gets the point that you really wanted to share and at the most they get sth out of it.

Yeah getting there is sth really tough but yeah when one makes it there it is just the quality that will take a user even higher.

While yeah may the they get the right way and we over all, get to see everyone there at same point.

For those just starting out, I would look at it as the more affordable prices in STEEM.

Imagine it's spring 2016 and you're one of the early pioneers​ "staking your claim to the blockchain" as I mention in my profile.

These people had no certainty that Steemit would succeed, yet joined, invested - believing in the platform - and began creating content.

They deserve every bit of their success for laying the foundation we all enjoy today.

So let's put on our "startup hats" and help build this thing. The Steemit veterans had the foresight to look ahead and Invision the possible. We need to see the same bright future with our own eyes as well...

Great points and I agree with al lof them. The one I liked the most is

Yes, yes and yes! Let's build this place from the bottom up. The foundations have been set in place by the veterans, and now it's our turn to build a skyscraper.

Work hard play hard @runicar well said most of what I have seen dtube upvotes higher % based on quality and effort of a video. It doesn't have to be related to steemit or talking about cryptos or anything my cooking videos don't mention those things but they do take a lot of work to get done so that's the way I do things.

Yep Dtube is doing all the right things supporting worthy content creators. I'm glad to see they aren't basing their upvotes on mostly crypto content like dapps like dmania had. That just ruins the experience for other people who might be stopping by from elsewhere. The ones that aren't interested in crypto , which is like 90% of the rest of the world, won't ahve anything interesting to look at if we all base our content on crypto.

That's why I love seeing diversity of content on Dtube and always support users who are doing something unique, creative and are filling in that gap.

What??!!!
You mean the coins won't find their way into my sack just because it's open and I want it? haha

The only way with anything is to keep at it and to keep improving :)
Good one :D

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes! Persistence and constantly improving ourselves is the only way up!
