There Is No Movement Without Action
Taking action over and over builds momentum. I remember when I first joined Steemit back in late 2016 I would post one day and then days would pass before I posted again. Usually there were long gaps between my posts and fortunately people were still receiving them well. But now looking back I really believe I would have made a bigger impact much quicker had I continued to post much more frequently. But I didn't. I could feel the momentum slipping and then just like that the gaps between posts became wider and wider.
When I didn't take any action nothing happened of course. This is always the case when you don't take action. Nothing happens. Things will move once you start taking action and the longer you take action the more momentum you gain. Once I decided to take action over and over I started to gain more traction with my posts. At this point I am posting pretty much everyday. I do have plans to start posting twice a day but for now the goal is to push myself to post at least once per day. So far this seems to be going very well. But I had to first make the decision that I would commit to taking action and doing something about my goals. Now you have to make up in your mind and commit to taking action over and over.
Things to help gain momentum with your posts:
- Post at least once a day
- Engage with others in your comment section
- Create original content
- Develop your own style
- Show love to your followers
- Give great effort on every post
Be encouraged. Nothing is impossible. When I look around on Steemit I see tons of examples of people who are getting great feedback on their posts because of the action that they take. The more action the more momentum it seems. I too am getting better at this but I am witnessing first hand the gains in momentum. But it requires movement. Even small actions can create momentum. The point is to do something over and over in order to create the momentum you want to see.
Do you feel stuck with posting on Steemit?
How often do you post?
What are some of your goals in life?

Momentum can gained by continuous engagement here in steemit and this should be like our routine works.
Thank you.
Yepp. I'd say the same
short term momentum is easy like steemiting continuously for 2/3 months but who are keeping that momentum for years are the real winners.
Thank you...steem on and stay blissful...
Yes. And imagine what the price of steem could be in a few years. This is why I encourage people to keep posting because it could be their future.
Yes I feel stuck posting on steemit. I have always been hoping and praying that more eyes can see my posts. Sometimes, I do not even look at the upvotes (I said sometimes), but for people to see the information contained in the posts. I therefore have to buy upvotes for the posts, maybe by then, it can attract more people.
This is what I will use as my propelling force though.
I would have been posting everyday, but because I've settled to always give out quality content, which takes more time to compile, I currently post like four articles per week.
Some of my goals
Thank you @humanearl for helping us take life simple and making it better for everyone. Hope we all can make the world a better way in our individual capacities.
Buying votes can help gain more visibility and of course it can boost the value of your post. I have used voting bots before but I don't use them often.
Your goals are cool man. If you don't mind me asking. What kind of tech solutions do you have in mind for Africa?
Not actually new innovations. Just to help them all accept and be in conformity with current trends. For example, many, owing to illiteracy or fear have refused to make use of mobile or internet banking. It will shock you that some even refuse ATM cards, saying they are being cautious. These are few ones though. So if someone does not trust online banking of fiat, how do you make him explore the opportunities in the crypto-world?
Many people die of diseases and ailments that are curable orvat least manageable. They however die mostly from ignorance that they have those ailments. They can't even afford the cost of the medical test, not to talk of afford to pay for the medical procedure for a cure. This is actually a huge project, requiring lots of fund to embark on.
My goal is not creating new innovations persecution, but helping Africans measure up to the existing trends rather than always lagging behind.
One thing I am seeing with many Nigerians on Steemit is that they are building computer centers to help them make some money through Steemit.
But that's a good question as to how do you help them trust tech more.
Good stuff. I know I need to be posting at least once a day. I've been doing it for the last week and I think it has been helping bot in terms of engagement and in building that habit. I am sort of all over the place in terms on content. I'm not sure if that's the best way to grow my following, but I like to talk about what's on my mind. Whether it's doing a post on using the market because someone doesn't know how, or whether is a #walkwithme article for a contest. I like living life with people. You've said to go with your energy which is basically what I've been doing. You have any thoughts on it?
You are on the right track for sure. There are some who focus on a niche content and then some who have a broad range of stuff. I am exactly like you in that regard. I share what's on my mind. This way people get to see the real you in my opinion. So those are my thoughts.
@humanearl,
Those steps are really useful and valuable to all of us! I will try to follow them! Actually I am trying to do my best! But engaging with comment section is much lower at the moment! I will try to do my best on it too!
Cheers~
Steem on bro!
Post on steemit often make me run out of ideas for creating quality content.
I often post 2 articles a day but sometimes none.
My purpose in life in order to be useful to the world and the hereafter, and can be useful to others,
Thank you for sharing @humanearl
I would suggest creating a 10x10 matrix for example
Gardening (main topic)
This will take a while but it’s a great way to stay organized and you can even make a matrix out of the tags on Steemit if you are creative enough.
@adson I think @remelsey has a great idea there. What I do is keep sticky notes around. I usually jot down things I'm thinking of on impulse as well as things I would like to talk about. This helps me but I know everyone has their own flow with doing things.
I record my thoughts on my smaller recorder. I can then have my computer transcribe them.
Oh ok. Does that help?
Yes, it helps me. My mind goes fast than I can type or write. A lot of times I come up with ideas when I am driving and the voice activated recorder allows me to safely preserve them. When they are printed out it looks like the ramblings of a madwomen. But, you never know what nuggets of gold you will find.
I am also going to start using the recorder to write my posts. Then I can edit them. I think it helps my writing process.
For every idea I write about I have probably 3 more that I decided to scrap. I love keeping track of what comes to mind.
I haven't heard of your particular process but whatever works for you , good.
I think it's a good idea, as well as I am starting to record my agenda, so the postings can be sustainable and also organized, thanks @humanearl and thank you @remelsey top its advice ..
I post once a week because I don't have much topics to write about. Also writing frequently will make my earlier post less valuable in my profile. Another reason is it takes me at least 3 hours to write a post. Taking so much time is not possible.
I hardly earn a dollar even if I post once a week. It would fall down to 0.1 if I write daily.
I'm concentration on building my followers instead. By commenting of course.
Well the thing is that creating content is not the only way to be involved on Steemit. So good for you that you are staying active by getting in the comments. That's a good strategy too.
That is so true ... people are constantly scared to create new content. I believe the problem comes from people not being able to talk about what they feel most strongly about. Imagine somebody was to ridicule your passion or your feelings.
This is why Steemit and DTube are great platforms... there's very little hate going around. If it wasn't for Steemit I would have never figured out what people like to hear from me. Apparently they appreciate me [talking about animals.] (
)If you feel stuck just do something fun and film it! It doesn't have to be perfect! Thanks HumanEarl for your great energy!
I love this. You are right. People are afraid to feel vulnerable. Your advice is amazingly simple. If you do nothing else, have fun.
@humanreal, Definitely greatest Dtube video and important article how to growth-up our steemit journey. I'm glad to tell you that I gave my best decision in steemit I followed you. You really encourage minnows like as me. Firstly we must need to take action and then do that. I try do make 01 post every day and after get some increase level try to make 02 posts daily. Post earning might increase our vote power. I have question. What kinda of post I want to make in this platform? I already did some nature post in my travel. But I need to make different style posts. Good options gave to gain momentum on Steemit. I learn more about your posts. Appreciate your effort always.
Stay blessed.
For you I would say to post about the thing you really enjoy in life. It could be anything that inspires you are you like talking about. Start there. For example if you like cars you can talk about cars or if you like talking about sports then that is good too. Just find what your really like.
Thanks for great commitment. Yep..I agree it, I'll try to do my best.
Hi @humanearl
On my subjective opinion - the main task for creating an interesting blog is to find your own theme, do what you have best done, be useful. Creating good messages takes a lot of time and effort - it's harder than it actually seems. Therefore, it is better to do 1 or 2 quality messages per day - than to do several but not high-quality ones. Quality is very much decisive. Just as important is that you create original content.
I almost daily publish reports in which I try to bring the maximum benefit. But in the future I intend to change the format of messages and create a more original topic.
At the moment, my goal is to improve my own skills and help many in need.
Everyone here pursues certain goals, but to have a goal is already pleasure. Each person should have a goal to which he aspires - this is the essence of human life. Man without a goal quickly fades. I wish you not to step aside from your goals and be persistent.
You are exactly right by finding your own theme or style. I will do my best to reach my goals. Thanks for the encouragement.
That's true.
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
Great post dear.
Smileplease with me keep it up
Thanks for the comment. I like that.
Welcome dear.
Smile please like me .
Thanks @humanearl.
I must confess it hasn't been rosy with me here on steemit. Most time i post contents and the number of views alone is discouraging not to talk of the upvotes. So i keep myself going by posting and also curating, hoping to get some reward from curations.
Hopefully i will be consistent enough to start seeing positive results.
The key is to continue doing what you're doing. I've seem many people come and go. It can get discouraging especially when you put alot of time in to posts but remember that the future steem price could be worth hundreds of dollars per steem.
Absolutely you are great ..You are really super hero of steemit media ...
You have special power of photography system as though you are great .
In every time I follow you so much ...
Give upvoted and do resteemited properly..
Thanks for sharing your important blog ..@humanearl
@mintu13 Thanks for the love and support.
Motion is the essence of Universe and momentum keeps all the things going. If anything literally anything stop momentum its destroyed in no time. This law also truly applies to steemit. If one is alive and putting good efforts through hard and smart work he is getting momentum.
You always come up with motivating and inspirational post. I much appreciate your attitude.
It's crazy because nature can teach us so much about life and our work. Thanks alot for sharing your thoughts on it.
@humanearl - Sir very vlog of yours gives me new knowledge, inspiration & positive thinking about the life & Steemit too Sir... How wonderful person you are... A great mentor to me...
+W+
I'm glad I could be of help. I would say just stay at it and I think it will pay off.
Yes buddy afterall staying in one point will sure not bring you any fruit !Instead keep on going as much as possible ,Success will be there at the end of the road !
I believe so. Thanks alot.
I rarely post the articles because I work during the day, but I try to set aside time to share on steemit,
the purpose of life wanted to appease both my parents,
It's nice to appease your parents but its more important to appease yourself. There's no point in making everyone else happy if you're not happy yourself.
@john.docla I know it's even harder having a job during the day. But at least you try to set aside time.
@jkimura That's exactly right. I have to walk my own path.
your right @humanearl. Even though I just started last week I am surprised at the amount of followers I do have. I will keep posting content and experimenting.
Keep the ball rolling and steem on!
Thats some beneficial suggestion you just shared,great help indeed,Thank you.
My goal are
Help me out. What is cardano about.?
I came to know about it when @exyle put one post related to it in which he observed 19℅ growth the day he invested.that incite me to search about it.
Currently ADA (cardano) stands 6th position on coinmarketcap.com with pricing $ 0.41.many of articles regarding ADA claims that if we invest in ADA in a long run it will give good results in near future.prediction of ADA for the year end is $2.3.
Ahh ok. I have only heard about it.
Hi, great post
I unfortunately do not have enough time to conduct my blog. Through a mobile phone it does not turn out to make a normal post, and the laptop is broken. I hope in the near future I can fix it.
From myself I can say one thing - never give up here. The main quality for success in any place - okorttsvo. You must find your way and follow it.
It's also not bad to have a person whose success will inspire you. You do not have to create an idol - but simply follow the success of someone you like.
For example, I like what you do. In your life, you went through a lot. You were on the bottom and now I see how you grew above yourself. This is an example for me that there are no desperate situations.
Therefore, in what situation you would not be - continue to fight!
Dang. It sucks to hear that about your laptop. One of the authors I really get inspired by is @valorforfreedom. I love his work and he adds alot of value for Steemit.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I agree.
The actionable advice that you share here is worth gold.
I remember that point when I wanted to do nothing ad I was down on life. What really helped was for me to start doing something about it. even it if was small steps. Taking steps over and over builds confidence. It also helps to have a great example of action like you.
Thank you Earl, same to you.
Thanks for the tips,I started posting atleast once a day.And practicing to make more blogs than joining contest.But i still do joining contest esp. If i cant find a good story to share.
I think you have good content. I always find something good when I visit.
Yes absolutely correct @humanearl and we should push for regular activity on day to day basis and that will become a pile of posts after one year and this will also pay off slowly and steadily.
Just remember the money which come slowly and steadily lasts longer.
This is what I have experienced in my life.
Thank you and Have a great day.
Exaclty. Posting every day after a while will pay off and a the price of steem rises that only helps more.
Posting is one of the factor here in steemit to be known by others and i'm with you @humanearl, be consistent and never loss hope, aim high and have the courage to attain your goals👍
Very true. I agree all the way.
Agreed with your article .
Action is necessary nothing is impossible .
True that. Thanks for stopping by.
@humanreal ..bro monentum is got by continually used the steemit and engage with new comments and upvote others ..if we do this asa much as posible accirding to or vote power and bandwidth power we can got it.. a very greate volg bro.thank the for sharing with us ...have a nice day.
I wish you well!

Here is a post I made about that very thing. This should give you some ideas.
https://steemit.com/dtube/@humanearl/5471t6v0
Thanks for it..
Thank you for this advice. Posting daily doesn't come easy but I will try.
Hugs.
Even if it's a short post it still helps.
Wow Great advice,i had always thought posting everyday was wrong. But now that you have enlightened me, will surely put it into Practice.
Posting everyday keeps you visible.
i will try to follow these and will always remember in mind these valuable tips for life :)
@blazing. Cool I hope it goes well for you.
If I understand how steemit works very well, one thing I told myself was never to give up and this is what I tell all my converts and recruits who come crying on my shoulder about their low payouts. Consistency matters. I have been in a situation where I only commented on someones post and after the person replied me, he decided to check out my blog and because I had left some good posts there which yielded no profit, he decided to upvote me with 100% and I was extremely shocked.
What if I hadn't posted anything. What if I wasn't consistent with my good contents . What if I gave up ...I would have lost out on that. So it is good to keep on keeping on and one day, just one day you will get to smile.
@sistem I keep seeing you around. Thought I'd say hi and upvote. Keep at it brother.
@humanearl Thanks for the sound advice and positive encouragement. Your posts are always such a breath of fresh air.
Oh thanks a lot pal...It's nice meeting you here too.
@imjustsaying It's all good. Just sharing my perspective and what I think will help. Thank for understanding.
@sistem See that's a good example. You kept going and then boom! Something happened even if it was a small step in the right direction. But you made up your mind to take that step and follow through.
Yes work with real content, no matter that time fails important it will try even the most successful time. So what I am trying to do now is at this particular stage.
Thanks for the helpful publication as usual my friend.
Creating original content helps people distinguish you. That's what I've noticed.
in my life there are not many goals that I have, I just want to be able to help people in need, because I feel happy when they smiled
That's really honorable. Poverty wold be significantly decreased if most people had that mindset.
Thank you for your post. I'm a new Steemit member of a few days now and have yet to post. Have commented on a few posts, but have fear around creating my own first post. I appreciate your encouragement and suggestions.
What scares you most about posting?
Being visible...and consequently,,,being vulnerable.
Yes, i will follow all six advices given by you friend. Thank you.
No problem
this our chance to do something great
it will change the world
Right on. I agree. This is it.
Thank you @humanearl
This is of great value; especially for newbies.
No problem. Glad to help.
Well said brother.ACTION
And eventually all the pieces of the puzzle will get in place. Keep on doing what you do!
Thanks alot for this.
