This is really a kind of post, the newcomers and minnows who are in a hurry, should look at it.
(1) When someone joins steemit or even try to get started suddenly the first thing that strike their mind is how much I can earn per day or how much I can make per post and this type of mentality does take the person away from a quilty writing and these mindset generally ends up with shit post and/or flag sometimes if they spam.
(2) I must say if we put our hard effort in writing quality blog and also the manners and etiquette if we follow in this community then, at some point of time our patience, hard work and consistency will definitely get paid off.
(3) I still remember my day how happy I was when my post earned little over 1 SBD and not to forget, during those time, SBD was hardly 1 USD and I was still happy and these earning was purely organic earning for me.
(4) we should not only write blog but also engage with different blogs and their authors and this way we will also be having a healthy engagement in this community which is not only productive for this platform but also be very very useful for our own personal development, during my last 6 months, so many thing I have learned. So value addition is always there.
(5) To be honest I was also not aware of the etiquettes of this community and at times got flagged by steemcleaners on one or two ocassion, but there after I learned from my mistake and come up so strongly and in an organized way, so it was otherwise a blessing in disguise.
(6) There is always space for every section of the people in this community. For that just go and search different tags and just analyse what is your area of interest and then just speak your heart and I am sure organic and natural upvotes are very likely.
(7) People think, we are minnows who will see our post even if we write good articles, but trust me from my experience I can say that, there are number of good curators looking at thousands of posts and curating it and I am sure if the article is good and directed at proper tags, then the votes will definitely come and good earning will also happen.
(8) Yes SP plays a pivotal role in influencing the reader and followers because this is something which gains the attention of followers and for that reason I have also taken some delegated SP based on my capacity and I am even looking for more SP in near future.
Thank you so much @swissclive for this informative blog particularly for minnows and Have a a great day.
Excellent comments. I think we all owe a duty every day to find at least one or two minnow posts that deserve more and to help them advance with the right words of encouragement.
This also applies to Minnows. The value to them of making a meaningful comment on another minnow’s blog is that the minnow will be much more grateful than the whale who gets 100s of comments.
Yes mam', absolutely and from my best of experience if a minnow gets even 3 or 4 usd upvote from a whale for his hard work and good blog, then he feels grateful and much more encouragement he gets and this is what I am saying from my own experience. Thanks again and Have a great day.
