Earning Steem Dollars - Is it Faith or Fate
Steemit is about writing wonderful articles and get rewarded with steem dollar. Well if this was the case only writers of great contents would be rewarded. I however believed that the designers of steemit might have preferred if all contents were good and of high quality, but as an open platform where people are able to express themselves freely without censorship, contents will be of mix nature, and the way people vote up or down will determine which posting make it to the top and which fall by the wayside, as upvote does not depend on the will of the founding fathers of Steemit, but purely on what excites the individual steemers.
Your Posting and Its Relevance
The amount of steem dollars you earn isn't determined by how good your postings are, but by the amount of fans that support your postings in upvoting them. Steemers can write the greatest postings ever, but this will not matter, brilliant contents isn't really a factor. What is important, is relevance of the postings to the individual upvoting your postings. But is not just about your fans, as your fans all together might not have the steem power needed to push your postings to become big earners, It is truly about having big steem fishes in the form of steemwhales fighting your corner in upvoting your postings. But if steemwhales as leading steemers at steemit want to ensure quality, then they need to be the ones to set goals in ensuring that they only upvote quality postings at all time. This way steemers will make greater efforts in presenting quality postings, other than trying to emulate successful articles at the expense of diversity.
So the question come down to, does earning seem dollars, determined by your FAITH or FATE !!
Considering your FAITH!!
Some of us will have FAITH in what we do, that is about us having complete trust and confidence that our postings on steemit will pay good enough rewards, might not be immediately, but over time. Here we know we have the right strategy and the strategy is a winning one, hence I am confident in make some serious dollars in either upvoting the right postings or by postings will be upvoted by my fellow steemers so I can earn.
Considering your FATE!!
Earning will be about my FATE, how much I earn at Steemit is beyond my personal control, as it is determined by another power. If it is the will have the GODs I will earn some serious Steem Dollars, but if it is not I will still will get a dollar or two weekly.
Whether FAITH or FATE, one thing you can be confident in, at steemit you will always earn something. Whether you get enough to give your day job and retired early, only time will tell.
Faith
