Similarly like WordPress,Tumblr, and another microblogging platform, steemit has given us space to speak out our voices. But, the exciting aspect is that money is at play. This fact alone takes blogging into a different new level.As some of us know, long before steemit exists, our 100 words about a flower, in our garden will not worth a dollar. Steemit makes it possible, that even ants in our room can worth 100$ as long as we know how to craft a story creatively. The positive aspect is that it makes little things becoming so precious.

Now, correct me if I am wrong.But these weeks, I am unable to find content that makes me think twice, or eye-opening. I have been thinking to myself for a couple of days and continuously asking myself, have people given up on delivering top-notch content? Is it because they feel less rewarded than some ants or flower in the garden?.

There are people I know that are always putting a lot of efforts into their writing.Sometimes, they barely reach fifty dollars, well let alone fifty, it’s not even a dollar. Even with a lot of curations guild going on, they sometimes can’t make in into the net. If you ever find this kind of underrated content and truly valuable, upvote and show appreciation even if it worth 0.01 cents.

On the contrary, there are people who writes plain simple and earn more. Oh well, let’s face it, we don’t really have a lot of time to really sit still, and think. Sometimes, our brain needs refreshment. This can be done by seeing funny memes, sexy woman or flower in the garden. And with our exhausted brain, all we can say are“nice post” and “ great information”. I am not against people who writes about mundane things. In fact, to me mundane itself ,is very subjective. And,I try to look at the positive way by thinking, a flower blossoming in their garden,is a big accomplishment.They want the world to know it and share the happiness.

Now, When your content gets 0.5$ for the very first few post, and you put efforts into it, and find yourself complaining. I have one tips, go outside, talk to random people for about 5 minutes and will they give you five cents for your words? Or let’s say you’re complaining about something to your friends, will they give you 5 cents? Maybe they even tell you to fuck off.

But again, money comes at play. Evidently, some famous artists make it to the crowd, because they invest on marketing and self-branding (be it controversial or not). They wouldn't give a shit if people were giving them a negative label because it only attracts curiosity which means more exposure. Someone once told me “ there is no such thing as bad publicity”. Look at Kim K, famous for sex tape now she’s a business mogul. So, this another slight extreme tips - be as controversial as possible.

Finally, since Halloween is approaching, you can write about your confusion in picking a halloween costume and ask people “ a penny for thoughts?” but try to wrap it beautifully like “ hey, I need your help and feedback”.

Bonne journée tout le monde 💓
