Hello, Divyanth, and Welcome to Steemit.
You are correct in realizing that Steemit is the finest platform for writers. While some may see it as a social network, I'd say that a more accurate characterization is that it is a blogging/ publishing site.
I've tried blogging at various times over the past decade or more, but, unlike you, never had any modicum of success. Until Steemit.
Your plans for Steemit are pretty much what the secret to success on Steemit.
Since Steemit provides a pre-fab publishing platform, a broad audience, and motivation (in the form of Steem ☺ ), you'll find that you'll have plenty of time to be creative and simply write.
One could hardly ask for more.
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
1 – Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2 – Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
3 – Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
4 – Be yourself.
5 – Be interesting and informative.
6 – Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
7 – Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
