4 Major Ways To Earn On Steemit (+ a secret way to earn more)
There are four major ways, i have seen, tested, and confirmed that people employ to earn money on steemit. These methods of earning are very useful for the newbies, who are still trying to get a solid footing on the steemit platform. Well grounded steemians too may still learn a few tips and tricks from these methods, especially those steemians who just focus on one earning strategy alone and downplay the others. Without wasting too much time on preliminaries, here are the four ways to earn on steemit, plus the secret earning strategy at the bottom of this post.
1. Earning SBD from daily SBD giveaway programs:
As simple as this may seem, this earning method does reward a handsome amount of SBD over time, especially if you are receiving free SBD from more than 3 giveaway programs. And what does it cost you to get these SBD? Usually just an upvote entitles you to a share in the daily reward pool, sometimes, some require you to comment, follow and maybe resteem. Here are some of my favorite giveaway programs here. Just visit the authors' profile pages below to follow their daily SBD giveaway programs:
• Abasinkanga's giveaway (upvote only)
• Juicypop's giveaway(upvote and comment)
• Littlehelper's giveaway(upvote only)
• Lazarescu's giveaway (upvote only)
2. Earning Steem Power (SP)and Steem Dollars (SBD) from reading newly created posts of steemit users and commenting on them:
This is one of the undervalued, but highly lucrative ways of earning on steemit. Go to the steemit "home" and "new" feeds, look for interesting content newly posted by Whales especially, and dolphins, and really good quality content by minnows. Read their posts, and make meaningful contributions, suggestions, observations or opinions by commenting as a reply to their post. A lot of times, the authors of such posts or other readers (especially whales and dolphins), will upvote your comments. Some of these upvotes are worth as little as $0.01 to $10 depending on the voting weight and steem power of the upvoter. Making 5 to 10 or more meaningful comments like this daily on other peoples posts, can earn you a relatively steady income stream over time on the steemit platform
3. Earning by posting interesting, good quality content:
This is a earning system which many steemit users are already familiar with. We all know the golden rules of steemit, which are not to post plagiarized content and to always reference your work if its borrowed or copied from somewhere else.
This is by all means the best way of earning on steemit, but it works best for steemit users who have taken time to build a steady crop of followers who have interest in the topics which they post regularly on. Posting regularly on topics you are comfortable with, have the interest in, and can be most expressive about, is necessary for you to build a large followership of readers who will earn you more income as you keep posting good content and attracting the attention of more followers
4. Earning by employing curating strategies:
This is another earning strategy that steemit veterans fully maximize, but many newbies to steemit are yet to fully understand and harness to their advantage. So let me explain how it works quickly. To earn money from curating peoples post, you have to time the posts when they are created, and analyse the posts if they are good quality posts that may attract the attention of other curators, and vote on them on time before they receive too many upvotes. BUT THERE IS A CATCH!
So here are some tips to maximize your curation earnings:
- Vote on a post only between 20 to 30+ minutes after it was created.
- Vote on a post within this time range, if the post does not have more than 3 to 5 upvotes already, if the post already has more than 10 upvotes after the 30 minutes range, curating rewards may be too minimal or zero. So its not worth it...
- Curation rewards are maximized when you are one of the first to discover and upvote a post, within the first 20 to 30 minutes of its creation not before. Look out for quality posts like these to upvote and you will be earning handsome rewards from curating even as a newbie.
5. The secret earning strategy:
This is a secret way of earning, i only recently discovered, thanks to @pisolutionsmru, the author of the post. Read all about it by visiting this link.
Hey great tips! But what happened to the secret strategy? The link appears to be broken :(
This post received a 1.5% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @vegancap! For more information, click here!
I used that username as the link, when you click the username, it takes you directly to the author's post and not his profile. I have adjusted it now to be more like a link, i guess it was causing some confusion for readers. Thanks for pointing that out.
Please do kindly resteem, to help me get more visibility. Thanks!
Thanks for clarifying!
Same for me! It truly is a secret I guess 😂
The link is the author of the post's username, i guess it must have been confusing, so i have adjusted it now.
Please do kindly resteem, to help my post get more visibility. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks for clarifying! I've already resteemed this awesome post 👍
excellent advice.. :)
Thanks for your encouraging comment and upvote. I am following you now. Do kindly resteem this post if you can, for more visibility.
Thanks!
resteemed ;)
The secret strategy is hidden in the link of the mentioned author of the post where i discovered it... It directs you to the post in question, and not to his profile wall. Sorry for that little confusion. I have adjusted that to make it look more like a link now and not a mention. Thanks for pointing it out @vegancap
Congratulations! You've been resteemed by my Cat-Bot because you posted in one of the followed categories (#steemit)!

Since this is still in Beta mode, I'm afraid the unsubscribe is manual... so I may be a bit slow, but just reply to this post with UNSUBSCRIBE and I will (sadly) leave you and your future posts alone. (I really don't want to spam people, I promise)

One of the surest way of making anything on steemit is by engaging with the people on the site.
Neer lose site of the fact that steemit is at first a community, engaging in community building / interaction is also a very great way of getting paid.
Yes. That is correct. There are two ways to interacting with steemians.
Both of these do help to build a wholesome steemit earning experience.
Thanks for your comment.
I second that.
I have tried various ways to gain rewards but the best and most constant way is to make friends.
It may be difficult and unrewarding at first but you will start seeing the changes within the space of a few posts!
Also Community building takes place through posting interactive content like contests, lotteries, giveaways and other ways of posting content to engage steemit users, these all fall under the 3rd earning strategy which is earning by posting good quality content... Here on steemit, the type of content one can post is so diverse, a lot has to do with how creative and imaginative one can be with their content.
Hi @abasinkanga!
Thanks for referring my post on how to gain reward using the eSTEEM app.
It has worked for me and for others who have posted comments on my post using the eSTEEM app.
I didn't know about the point #4 to earn. Thanks for enlightening me :)
All these are really great idea. Thanks for the info. @anjiba

Nice one bro, very insightful
Thanks for the interesting and helpful post. As a middle aged Aussie dude who didn't really grow up much with computers I still find understanding this platform and blockchain a little challenging. I'm trying to though as it seems like this kinda stuff is going to fundamentally change the way we live and our children will live into the future.
I really value posts like this as it gives me a few moments where I really begin to understand how this place works as a community unlike other social media platforms that are all about "the self".
Thanks again for the helpful post! Upvote, resteem and following.
PLEASE UPVOTE THIS POST SIR, THIS IS FOR THE CONTEST THAT I AM TAKING PART ON.. YOU WOULD BE A BIG HELP FOR MY SUCCESS.. THANKS A LOT!
