You are a newcomer in Steemit, don’t know from where to start? Mind full of fear, what to write and how people will react to see your writing? What comment they will through to you? Your English is poor? You have less communication skill? Less confidence about noun, verb, adjectives, preposition, punctuation, sentence making structure so on and end up with writing and deleting so many articles.
So many questions running in your head. At the end nothing is going to happen and quit from Steemit!
The question came to my mind when see a good number of Steemit new members are adding every day but very few of them are active users. Below information is for your reference.
The reasons could likely be below –
--- Hesitation to write articles and most importantly trying to write the best articles!
--- Trying to earn from first day joining Steemit
--- Less knowledge about the platform (Not reading the FAQ section properly)
--- Quite different and difficult application compared to other social media
--- Having fewer friends in this platform compared to other social medial like facebook
--- Poor knowledge about blockchain technology
--- Poor English and interacting power
--- Become hopeless when quality articles are not evaluated
Though I have been in steemit for not so long, can give below suggestions for the new joiners with my limited knowledge and experience. Other readers comments and value addition are appreciated.
--- Start fearless writing, don’t bother about people what they will say
--- Be selective and write on topic considering your strength
--- Don’t loose confidence when your good content are not upvoted as expected. Keep writing and definitely it will be evaluated one day.
--- Don’t panic about earning, it will come eventually
--- Invite friends to join steemit so that you can build a community and feel comfortable
--- Focus on time management. Give more time to steemit deducting time from other social media which rewards nothing.
--- Enhance reading practice. Try to read at least one good article every day which will enhance your knowledge and writing abilities.
--- Follow reputed stemians who have good reputation scores
--- Read good articles attentively and make quality comments to get the attention of writers and get some upvotes.
--- Participate on different competition arranged for minnows. It will give you the confidence.
Steemit is a platform which can change ones life, I believe. There is an immense feeling when you create something, it’s like giving birth of a child. Steemit has given that opportunity.
Forget about the earning. When you are going to write about any topic, you have to study and unconsciously you are gathering knowledge. This is something worth than money.
Just push your boundaries and keep hitting on targets. Money definitely will come eventually.
Thanks for stopping by.

Nice article.....very important subject about steemit, especially new steemit user in this platform. I think every body should maintain his own rule for earning and establishing his steemit society.
Yes, agree with you.
Good one! Specifically for me who wants to go far but have no idea about it!!! Liked it and resteemit it!!! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, this was my view to write this article to help new stemians. Thanks for your comments.
Thank you, recently I've looked for few more options as well and will share soon. Little research could provide more sustainability in this community.
Thank you! I think patience is key on this platform, as you pointed out. But since it is all so fairly new (compared to starting on YT or FB now), it kind of feels like playing a new video game. At least for me. Going to keep posting for sure. Kind regards from Germany, Max :)
Yes, please plan to give one post every day or two to three posts in a week. This will make the habit. Thanks for your comments.
Thank you for a very informative and content rich post. Much needed!
And in addition to what all you said, I guess the hardest part is to keep up your motivation when nothing seems working out..max people give up.. but who knows probably you may be just 3 feet away from the gold.. :)
I will keep trying . Thank you for the guidance :)
Correctly said. We should not give up in any situation. Thanks for the value addition to this post.
At least no waste of time like other social media give nothing
thanks to steem
Yes, other social media is giving no rewards like steemit. Thanks for your comments.

Hello @dindar!
I noticed you have posted many times since you began your journey on Steemit. That is great! We love active partipants.
I do want to point out that the Introduceyourself tag is meant to be used once only to introduce yourself to the Steemit community. You have now posted 6 times using the introduceyourself tag. Please see this link for more information on Tag Spam?
Please take this into consideration and help build a great platform!
Thanks for your concern. I have used ‘introduceyourself’ tag here to help new stemians through this post. In this post many points are there which can help new joiners. Hope you understood the legitimate reason of using the tag.
