Thank you for this guidance.
I have only been here for a month, a month today in fact (woo-hoo!) so am trying to soak up knowledge from more experienced members.
Sure, my posts here are getting maybe 20 views and the upvotes I am getting are worth maybe 50c, but do you know what - that's ok. Because I am enjoying my time here and not just here chasing the dollar.
Anything I have set out to do in my life, I have started at the beginning, on the bottom rung of the ladder, and I have worked and strived and built my way up. This Steemit adventure is no different.
I've been here for a month. That's all. I cannot possibly hope to be successful yet, that's just crazy. Things worthwhile take time, effort and patience, so that's what I'm putting in.
In my short time here, I have already seen members saying "I am not succeeding here so I am quitting". And these are people who have been here less time than me! It's unbelievable.
Put the effort in, enjoy the journey and be happy. It's simple.
I've been active on steem for as long as you, one month, and have the same experience and attitude. I don't expect anything, just want to find interesting stuff and hopefully contribute with stuff that interests anyone.
We just need to keep on keeping on buddy.
Keep focusing on bumping up those views. 20 per post is actually not bad after a month, since traffic is pretty slow on Steemit at times.
If people are watching, engaging in your posts... and with the attitude and quality of this comment, I have no doubt you'll do great.
Thank you that's a really nice thing to say.
As a newbie to this whole site, you spend so much time worrying that you're doing the right thing and hoping to not do anything wrong.....
So for me to put how I am honestly feeling out there and then receive supportive posts like this telling me that hey, chill, actually I'm doing ok, it means a lot to me.
You have the right attitude. I hardly made anything in the first couple of months. The algorithms were different then, so it was harder to make money. I still had fun and I've made a lot of new friends.
Thank you. I am really enjoying my time here and have already found a few people that I am constantly looking to see when they write more!
