It wasn’t so very long ago when I was in your shoes. And believe me, it will become awesome... on one condition.
If you keep focusing on the money, you’ll eventually get frustrated and leave. That would be a shame, because if you leave, you will never get to enjoy being part of a community that is way more valuable than money can Ever be.
This place is full Of amazing people.
You’ve got to face reality: all those promises of making good money were lies. The power of Steemit lies in the community-spirit.
The more you interact with people -the more you get to know them... I promise you, you will only feel blessed.
If I wouldn’t have stopped caring about the money and had started focusing on the community, I would have left a long tima ago.
Most people here are good people, trying to help each other as much as possible.
I’m here because they make me laught till I cry, and they pick me up when I’m down. I wouldn’t trade it for a million dollar post.
Not convinced? Try it out fir a week or two. Don’t focus on the money and interact like you’ve never did before. Before you know it, you will consider all those strangers as your friend, even though you never met them.
If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask. You’ll be surprised how many people will be prepared to help you out.
Because once you are here for a while, taking care and helping eachother to move forward gives you a lot more satisfaction than a $1 payout.
If you decide to stay, start considering your fellow steemians as your tribe. Keep
On working an Posting, but don’t forget to interact with others, building a network is equally, maybe even
More important than
Putting out a great post. Once you made some good connections here, people will be on the lookout for your posts. And that is the first step to success.
Feel free to contact me or others anytime!
Thanks. I too realize Steemit is more about building a tribe.
I mainly wrote this post to get that off my chest. It can be a little frustrating but I have been connecting more with my followers and the people I am following. I also have found a great bunch of people on a few of the discords.
Great to hear.
I was wondering if you were already in the Engagement Leagues (link to last week's edition) by @abh12345.
It's basically a sort of contest to get out a lot of comments. It's fun to check the list to see how you've done - how many comments you left, how long they were, etc - compared to others.
And you get to know a bunch of people too - and you might win some free Steem or a delegation...
A new ranking is posted every Sunday. If you're not in yet and you're interested, just drop a comment underneath the post letting Asher know you want to join.
I just read about another motivational contest for redfish:
Introducing The Redfish Power UP League and Wall of Fame

Thanks for jumping in with the update, Asher :0)

Thanks. Sounds great. Asher, I'd like to join.
