A year from now you will wish you had started today.
~Karen Lamb.
I think this is the best quote I know to start this article. A change can come in a lot of forms in our lives, but of course, talking about Steemit, I am talking about a new opportunity, a positive change.
Steemit is the platform I was dreaming for long time ago, just because I am active on social media, I love talking with people, I love cryptocurrencies, I love Bitcoin & now I love Steem and even Steem Dollars. Steemit seemed to me too good to be true and I bet some of your friends told you the same.
Analyzing from all points of view, Steemit can change your life. But let's think again about that, will steemit change your life?
Wrong.
You are going to change your life using Steemit if you will take action and if you will act wisely. It's all about you. Are you ready to spend your precious time learning how Steemit is working? And I am giving you a tip, it's not working the same as Facebook but it's working better than Facebook.
You can grow faster than on Facebook. You can get 1000 organic followers in a month, but of course first you have to learn & act. Only working hard you can achieve that so fast.
Now, the question I am getting almost daily, how did you grow up so fast on Steemit?
The key
It is simpler than you thought. The key is exactly under my article, the key is avoided, ignored most of the time.
The key is commenting on other posts. Nothing simpler than that. In my first month on Steemit I have spent even 12 hours daily commenting on other posts, talking with others, it wasn't easy but I love that.
I was waking up, opening my laptop first, spending on hour on Steemit and after that I was drinking my coffee and smoking a cigar.
I honestly can say, Steemit is my second nicotine.
This is very inspiring! I sometimes feel like I have hit a dead end because I am not having as much success as other people but it helps to know that you are seeing success with all of your hard work. Thanks!
You can achieve the succes if you start commenting a lot with relevant comments
Wow, how many times has everyone said "I wish I would have started that a year ago. If you stick with this way of thinking you will continue to be way ahead of the majority of people in this world we live in. Nice post, I have a lot of respect for an insightful young person like yourself. Good luck to you.
Thank you so much!
I'd trade dozeens of followers for a single engaged reader who returns to my blog on a semi-regular basis.
Commenting can be very powerful as long as it's not of the "Good post, please follow me" variety.
I think that this site has immense long-term potential. But even more than that, I think the Steem blockchain's development as a whole will astonish people over time. There's so much more than Steemit.com already going on.
You are right man! Thanks for your time and comment!
Hard work is a lot easier with coffee and cigars! So glad I'm not the only morning cigar and Steem commentator on the platform, @jwolf... (My current favorite is the Oliva Series G Toro.)
Although I just produced my first post last night (mistake posting at midnight - lol) I have spent my first two weeks finding authors I enjoy and am interested in (yes, you're one) and attempting to provide meaningful responses to their content.
I think his helped me to answer a lot of my own questions (what do people like, what make a post successful, what kind of format/style should I use), and has offered me perspective that simply posting all kinds of stuff on my blog wouldn't necessarily teach me right away.
By spending hours each day, sifting through posts, commenting, and reading the many replies back that I receive, I believe I'm building a base, and a brand, from which future success can be launched.
Thanks for today's post. I look forward to reading - and learning - more from you soon. Cheers!
Thanks a lot! Wish you good luck! I am following you now.
Second nicotine, good way of putting it :) I think your advise is solid. The fact is that we are all programmed to want to Excel. Naturally there is nothing nicer then to feel recognized. On steemit I think being on the receiving end is the best way to get traction. I have been living in China for 15 years and there is one saying that really stuck with me; " Don't try to be an ocean, don't try to be a lake, don't try to be a river either, instead be the small creek in the bottom of the valley and all water will flow to you sooner or later". Thanks for sharing
Wow, I love it. Thanks!
My pleasure ! :)
Yes, you are correct and I'm helping you and the community right now by commenting (replying), upvoting and resteeming. Which I'm doing with this article. OH yes, and following, which I did previously.
FYI... By upvoting a curators comments, you are helping them (and you) in the steemit community as we are helping you by commenting. Please upvote. :)
Thank you so much! You are right!
FYI... upvoting comments and replies really helps those that reply to your posts. I've upvoted your reply as you can see. I've started upvoting ALL replies to my posts to help the people that are replying. Please upvote this reply. :)
You´re definitely right about the reply button being the key to success on Steemit. But unfortunately many people think a simple "great Post" or sth. similar does the trick. But it´s only real and honest engagement that will bring you further, not just a thumbs up like on facebook...
Hope you keep on enjoying your morning coffee and the cigar along with some Steemit Posts ;)
Thank you so much, you are right, it needs more than a 'great post'.
You're welcome :)
But looking at my recent Posts there are unfortunately more short standards than real comments. The same is getting more and more on many blogs these days...
Great post man!, thank you! For revealing the secret.
Thanks man!
Wow bro.. you have been working really hard ! Keep up the good work :)
thanks bro!
Thanks for your advice!
Thanks dude!
A good post @jwolf. Steemit is what you make of it, you can take it as far as you want if you have belief in yourself and the platform.
Thank you! You are right!
interesting posts, I agree with all your opinions, most importantly how we act in media steemit
Thanks.
Love the layout man. Keep it up!

thank you!
Love that quote. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Steem on!
Being able to hit the reply button and speak to authors of posts and artist of the photos, drawings and crafts is so great here on Steemit. It is a community after all. 😊
Right! Thank you!
I am commenting and hoping it is the key :p
Great job! Keep doing it!
12 hours a day seems like a lot but good for you
Keep spending time here, you won t regret
owo its amazing work... thanks for post...keep it up brooo
First of all, you have really excellent hair! Thank you for the advice. I took some time off this summer away from the computer but am hoping to become more actively engaged here because I really do think it is a great concept. Best of luck to you and I will keep following!
Really a motivational and helpful post for the newbies like me. I m here from last 38 days and till date i thing i have made around 950 comments and this is the only way of intracting with people.
Well written man, but Steemit should be your first nicotine! Give up those smokes, you've got a better addiction now ;)
I can do that! Thanks man
Only Problem: Steem Inflation is TOO high. I just lost 50% in voting power within 2 weeks! I already wrote about it in German Could you adress this problem too? It is very unnattractive for new Steemians! thx!
I will see that, I am also wondering how Steem price will evolve with a huge supply :O
Thanks a lot for sharing your secret! It's the best advice that I have read here. Everyone writes a lot but doesn't say anything concrete and you said just 1 word which is the key to success!
Well said, Karen Lamb.
That's kind of how I feel about Steemit right now :D I wish I started my journey a year ago. I also realize that I can't change that, so rather just be grateful that we can get started now!
Nice post my dude. Keep up your hustle. You're doing great!
Talk soon.
Thanks for this post. I will definitely do more commenting. Thank you!
Steemit is the best. Facebook can only communicate. In this we can stand on Umida. I love from steemit.

Great post & very nice advice my friend Up&Resteem
Peace onto you Jwolf!
You are really a great inspiration for those who say they cannot succeed here, I can see your comments on most of the post and I wondered how much time did you spend on steemit? Now as I saw you got 50K SP delegations, I do not whether it is a gift or you paid for it but I am truly inspired by your progress here. I also comment a lot on the posts I love to read but as I have my job so cannot be as active as you.
the post is great ...,,,,,
That's a fun article.
Hah, let's make steemit your first Nicotine!
