Hahahahaha I am actually laughing at the title of this piece. I could remember that common lingual parlance used to prevail on prospects to join steemit program. Most Steemian recruiters try to make it appear as simple as possible so that prospects would register, right? Hahaha. Honestly, it pays them right. Most people would avoid any vocation involving solitary sitting for several hours; people don't like any scheme requiring efforts and things like that. They would rather go with programs that promise short route to wealth and in the process get scammed because most of those programs are scamy piece of shits.
Many Steemians have had to be part of this program with much enthusiasm and expectations that it will be an easiest route to financial success. And unfortunately most of those with this sort of mindset do not consider it appropriate to conduct their own research to be able to know those pertinent factors that make success here inevitably achievable. They would rather be whirling away time scanning through the trending page. Or repeatedly visiting their invitee's page to have a glimpse of his earning performance.
Having been done with that, they would hurriedly make a low quality article and spend the rest of the day staring at the computer screen for God-knows-who to upvote them😂. After several times of zero earnings, most will quit and call steemit a scam (and unfortunately nobody cares😂), while some sensible ones will begin to ask questions and begin to get appropriate answers from established steemians.
Personally, I prefer luring prospects into steemit program using easy money making strategy. And I am telling you from experience and as someone who had recruited a whole lot of people, that this is the best strategy for getting people's attention. I had experimented with many strategies in the past 10 months and can only attest to the efficacy of presenting steemit program as an easy money making scheme.
I do this because I believe that first approach matters; getting the persons attention is important. After the person must have shown interest by signing up, I would then let him know the real truth and how to go about everything. Most of my recruiters are still active till today.
Steemit is hardwork; you not gonna earn a dime until you learn to work for it
This is the hidden truth most newbie Steemians don't get to appreciate — STEEMIT IS HARDWORK. You think spamming on other persons' blog posts will get them to visit your blog; think again. The chance of that happening is 1 in a billion. I spent the whole of yesterday trying to perfect a @steemstem targeted article that I finished writing since 2:30pm. Why? Because I have been on break from writing @steemstem targeted articles for the past 5, 6 months and within that interim, the guidelines for making such posts have changed and they have become more strict at ensuring that all images being used by authors are CCO compliant.
Google's CCO licensed images that are relevant to articles are not easily found. Beside, you still have to follow a certain pattern of citation to reference the images, which I am new to. Hence, I had to learn everything that same yesterday, thanks to @samminator who was of immense help via communication on whatsapp. At 10.30pm I was still trying to figure a way around this. And eventually, I was able to make the post at exactly past 11.00pm. I literally spent the whole of yesterday in front of my laptop. Thankfully, I achieved my aim and @steemstem curators visited.
I decided to share this difficult experience to demonstrate to you that steemit is hardwork. There are many curation projects newbies can target but unfortunately not many of them are ready to learn. And truly, learning isn't easy either😂! Many newbie Steemians wouldn't have continued to push forwards if they were in my shoes yesterday.
You must know and appreciate the fact that here is a jungle. Only few people cares. And there are a lot of competing interests from all of the world in every curation community project. So you have got to work hard to stand out and get rewarded appropriately. The hidden truth is the fact that success here is hard work. Now that you have known it; learn everything there is to learn, roll up your sleeve and get down to work. It definitely worths it. With time, you will know and appreciate it. Thanks for reading.
Yours truly,
@eurogee

abeg I am resteeming this one, alot of people has to see this, especially minnows. nice write up @eurogee
Thanks for the resteem sir
I strongly agree what you say in this case, where the reality of the beginners, that they will not survive in the dala. # flatform-steemit without knowing and wanting to learn more about it, as well as by #charkers who simply say #steemit is money #criptocurrency and #blockchain without providing learning and giving the correct #rules to basic understanding for the beginner and for your post I will redeem it after 1 hours passed so that our society better understand it ... thank you for sharing
@eurogee
Thanks for the resteem. I so much appreciate
Lol. Steemit is not a small jungle mehn! I am a living witness. It's not been easy. But with more effort and perseverance one will scale through.
Thanks for your great words!
Yes of course, it can be done with efforts and dedication. Thanks for visiting
Hmmmm! Very true indeed and I can confirm from my recent similar experience as well.
Truth is after getting introduced by boss @eurogee himself last December, I did a thorough analysis of what it takes to be relevant and make it on this space, and after a careful consideration I knew I needed time to get prepared for the challenge ahead which was exactly what I did.
I hibernated and kept learning in the underground intermitently while curating and commenting but once a while.
And once I knew I was ready just last month, I went into action again opening the floor with this Back-Into-Action post, this time, not to slow it down again God-willing.
Welcome back.
Steemit entails lot of hardwork especially when it comes to targetting certain community prerequisite, at a point I was discouraged myself but I saw someone who came in after me doing great so I decided to eat the humble pie and start learning all over again. I mean hardwork and learning does not kill. Great post bro.
Thanks for visiting
Lol... You perfectly described how newbies behave.
Yeah, just like life, steemit ain't easy, but some people get it easy though.
Exactly. Some achieve success easily here.
