yes @caution listen to @samset he is a success story who has pioneered a concept along with @tj4real and his friends of Finding Local steemit users from your home country... before long you will find a whole network of people in your city and country... You will eventually have a local dolphin or whale! you can all support each other and you will build up your steempower! try to attract the attention of a whale like !!@thejohalfiles who may bless you with his upvotes if he sees you comitting to hard work, or maybe @stellabelle who has her own interests, study her posts and blogs, see if you can impress her, or some other whales, but find a niche
find something you can contribute to steemit with, the world is vast, you can always find a field to compete in... start by posting about your favorite things whatever they might be, maybe you like a certain movie or TV show, anything, start with anything, posting is free, your time is not, do not waste time!
But do not let the success of others get you down, that will never help! you must ALWAYS be happy for the success of others! they may even find your cheerleading of their success as a reason to upvote you too! People making money on steemit are happy to share their wealth with others who make them feel good about it!
Always congratulate anyone you see making money here (unless it is obvious fraud of some sort) but for the most part always be happy for others success and simply ask for advice and you will be surprised at how often people are wiling to upvote someone who simply ASKS for advice and is proving themselves willing to work!
Showing up on time to work is now virtual! you show up to work by simply logging in and commenting or posting everyday! This is a sort of loyalty you show to steemit by posting everyday but dont just post by volume, it is quality over quantity... if you have many quality posts by all means post all day! But just dont post for the sake of posting make sure your heart is in it!
And remember even without crypto currency people have been making money online and always will! With or without bitcoin and crypto! you can always make money with marketing or Ecommerce moving physical products online, setting up shopify stores and marketing on facebook Instagram.... it is a real profession and NEVER come into work feeling depressed, ALWAYS make yourself feel that you will make money today! BELIEVE you WILl make money EVERYDAY
You WILl make money if you relax and believe in your ability to set up a business online and find something to sell or market ... youtube channels will be something you can create also, make youtube channels all about crypto currency in your home town, this is an advanced level step but you will find success in youtube vlogging AND networkinfg with local business people! be persistant! but also be polite! show local business people that you will not give up unless they give you a chance t and take a look at Steemit and buying steempower! Show local business peop[le how powerful steemit account can be with high steempower!
So you see, there are many many ways to make money online even without steemit @caution and listen to @samset follow him and see how he does it! and I promise things will work! I know it sounds cliche and corny and cheesy, but HARD WORK EVERYDAY is the secret! Watch the videos from Tai Lopez ... people may laugh and ,make fun of him but these are usually poor people who are angry at tai Lopez for being wealthy and for selling books! But these books are now in Video Form and Tai Lopez is giving away his knowledge of how to start an online business for free recently, and he even gives out free Iphones and laptops live on his youtube livestreams. Also @trevonjb or Trevon James on Youtube is another successful Steemit user who also is on Youtube showing his online business success and he gives out $500 to $600 in Bitcoin on EVERY Video he does now! So follow all the successful people online and listen to them and you can more easily become wealthy! Just like that old saying: You become who you hang around, you hang around with wealthy people you will become wealthy if you want... but hang around with unsuccessful people and thats how you will turn out if you just go with that flow! If you have friends who refuse to get into bitcoin steemit and crypto currency then stop hanging out with them now, they are wasting your time! Tell them that you are too busy and you would be hapy to hangout if they shared your vision to make money online but do not let your friends discourage you because they are not friends! You need to realize that online friends that help you make money are much better friends to hacve :D:D:D
