Being Successful On Steemit Is Like Losing 40 Pounds

in #steemit7 years ago

Do You Have Great Content Nobody Is Seeing? Do This One Trick And You Will Succeed. 

It is tough when starting. You post great content and it only gets a couple of views and makes no money. Want to fix that? It is simple. There is really only one way to do that without investing a couple thousand into STEEM Power. Do you want to know what it is?


Here it is...

Keep doing what you are doing.

That's right. Keep doing what you are doing.

It is as simple as that. If you think you are putting out good content, then keep doing it. Most people fail because they give up before they can have a real chance to win. 

Winning on Steemit is simple. Provide good unique content, reply and engage with others and you will succeed. The only thing is you have to do it everyday and keep it up. 

It is like losing weight. On paper it is the easiest thing in the world. Just exercise, drink water and eat healthy.  It's simple, but many are still overweight... myself included. lol.

Why is that? It is because it is hard and not a priority. If you want to make money, you have to put in the work and really provide good unique content, reply and engage with others and do it daily. It isn't something that happens over night.

Most people start getting frustrated at the two week mark. I do the same with working out. I go solid for two weeks then I ease off because I am not seeing the results I want. The problem is the timeline that I am working under. Two weeks isn't enough time to really see substantial results for 95% of new Steemonians.

Just keep doing what you are doing and then come talk to me in three months and see where you are.  Just put in the work and the dedication.

To be honest, this blog has made me rethink how I try to lose weight so I am going to really apply the same theory to my workouts. Because if I can do well on Steemit, I can do the same thing with my weight. It just takes dedication and time.

Keep doing what you are doing and you will succeed. Just give it time.

Good luck!

I like your metaphore here. Couldn't agree more..
Very deep.

Thanks for the example.
SY-

Dude thank you for the feedback. I appreciate you. I had a different point I wanted to make with this blog but the losing weight example came out naturally and so I re-titled it and re-worked it a little. It makes sense, lol. Now I just need to lose weight. Thanks again for the support. It means a lot.

Good post. It's hard to keep coming up with good content to constantly be putting out. I'm going to start approaching it like you would as if going to the gym. Back and Bi's, chest and tri's, then leg day. Come up with GOOD ideas to write about, put them down on paper and write the content up for specific days throughout the week. It's the only way i'm going to get BIG!

That is great to hear. Yeah it takes some effort and planning. I time my day around putting in work on Steemit. I work for myself, so that makes it a little easier but whatever time you spend should be spent in combination posting and replying and then replying on other people's stuff. Good luck. We'll get big together.

Great post @walkingkeys! Such Facts :)

Thanks homie! I appreciate you checking it out. Also awesome job starting that group. You're a smart cookie.

Leverage haha

I agree with you...don't think how many upvoted , comment s and dolor you earned....keep going ..going..going..one day we will success..:))

yes! that is the right attitude for sure. I track my votes and money, but I'm not focused on it. I just find that tracking it all helps me to know if I am doing the right things or not. Only time will tell. Thanks so much for checking out my page. It means a lot.

yes...you doing well ...keep continue...my dear friend..have good day:))

Just recently joined steemit and I have no idea what I am doing. I am still navigating around the site. This is definitely an encouraging post. Thanks!

First, Welcome to Steemit. You got a new follower to help you get started. Don't be afraid to dive in and start posting often. I'm glad you found some encouragement and it is a great place. Just put in the time and work and it will work for you.

Me too. follow me @yaanivapeji. Lez be friend @financlfreedomcj

Stick and stay, it gets greater later!!
Blessings to you!!

You are right! Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I appreciate it. Blessings to you as well my friend. Thanks for the ongoing support.

Your making great posts man. They are inspirational in them self.

You're so right in that statement, you need to continue to be able to be successful. Many people have been here doing the exact same thing for week over a year doing the same, even when they made mere 1 figure dollar power post! It's just recent that the posts have gone up with the change of voting distribution. Now everyone wants to join for a quick buck 😆

Remember that learning is something you're never done with. You are never fully learned and every day is a day to learn something new. The staircase never ends 😋

And good luck with your newly found spirit for working out. That's a tough one! 🎉

Damn right learning is never over. Posting good content will pay off in the long run for sure. I believe that whole heartedly. Your ongoing support means a lot.

Also, just so you know, I am trying to get a time when the Food Bank is open and I can take my kids with me to deliver food. I bought it all last week and planning on delivering with family this week since they don't have camp.

Sounds good man 👍
Thanks for keeping us up to date

no problem. It can't turn it around as fast as I thought I could. lol But I plan on doing more of these but better planned.

Your advice is so helpful. I just started with Steemit and after my first three blogposts received only one upvote among the three of them and no comments, I am almost ready to quit. And like you say, the frustrating thing is that I know that this content is valuable. It took me years to learn this wisdom about principles to keep from losing your money, and yet no one commented. By the way, your writing style is great and I love to read your posts. I have been following you for several days already. Thank you again!

Thank you so much for the kind words. Don't give up. You just picked up a new follower and after I post this I will and check out one of your blog posts. Just keep doing what you are doing and be realistic about expectations. If it was easy to make a lot of money on here, then it would be as popular as Facebook, but it isn't. It takes some work but I know you can do it. Keep doing what you are doing.

exactly but I suppose that goes for everything else, just got to stay consistent

yeah, it's no secret. Success is easy to understand but hard to achieve in damn near anything.

Thanks for the encouraging post. It was very helpful to me as a newbie.

It would be great if you could check out my 2 posts and show some love :)

Thanks man! I was just posting my first blog in a long time and it's funny that I ran into this. UV, and following!

Thanks you so much and I'm following you too! I'm glad you are getting back in the game. Can't wait to see what you post. Thanks for the kind words.

Awesome post! Couldn't agree more! Its all the learning and practical application that goes into building an account, the challenge is part of the fun, so glad I stopped to reward this, very well put together and thought out. Love it :-)

Thank you for the kind words. You picked up a new follower. I am glad you loved it. I really appreciate you taking the time to read my post. Thank you!

Provide good unique content, reply and engage with others and you will succeed

The first part I get, but if you engage and comment with others daily and they don't even look at your blog is frustrating. However, losing the first 30 pounds is just as hard as the last 5 pounds. So keep it up is what i hear you yelling back... Okay, okay coach!

It is frustrating. One thing that helped me when I first got here is I spent my first two weeks reading and replying to people rated over 50. Now I put a lot more work into the newer people to help them out, but at first I only read the content of the successful people on here. Just by engaging with them every day for two weeks got me noticed by a lot of bigger voters. I didn't ask for anything. I never once asked them to check out my post. I simply found about 20 people that I really liked their content and that were ranked 50+ and I replied to their daily posts each day. Even now I go and post and reply. I don't ask for anything, that is important. I just engaged and they took notice and most of them have returned the favor one way or another. Some are very loyal supporters of mine and I try to return the favors. I hope that helps. Be strategic. Read posts to learn things and read posts to get noticed in a way. I hope that helps. Keep pushing and you'll get there. I'll go check out a blog of yours to return the favor. Thanks for the support.

to people rated over 50.

That is very strategic and i love it! How do I find out if there are top 50? I appreciate you taking the time to look at my posting. Don't feel like you have to. I will earn my way and if you truly like it then even better!

I have been following you for a little while, but I don't think i have engaged as much with you, either way this post really catch my eye!

One of the things I love in this life is meeting people and learning about new things and how other people perceive the world. I also like helping people. It is strategic and finding pathways to success often are. Look beside each name and there is a number in a circle. You are 43. I just went to the Trending page and the hot pages and found people over 50 that were publishing content that interested me. I never faked, it which is important. I am genuinely interested. Hope that helps.

I have noticed your votes for sure. Another thing that I do is take the top couple of people that vote on my content that don't respond, and go to their blog and read and reply. I then thank them for recently upvoting and I wanted to come and return the favor. I have found that also brings people back. It takes time and work, but it pays off.

Thanks for noticing, I was beginning to worry :)You are just filled with great advise tonight

I then thank them for recently upvoting and I wanted to come and return the favor.

How have I not thought of this before??! On a random note, I can't believe I am 43 already, thats pretty good isn't it? No idea what it means, but why did you choose people over 50, what dose that mean?

Your rating is based on value and participation basically. The more successful you are the higher your rank. 43 is awesome for just starting. It really is, just keep doing what you are doing. Once you start getting to 48 and 49 it starts really slowing down how fast you move up. Then it just takes time and value. I am so glad that I can help. hit me up anytime. Advice is what I do. Ideas is what I sell IRL. lol

I agree. But I'd like to have both: being successful and lose 40 pounds! :D I gotta work double time now!

HAHAHHA, I can relate. I'm working my way up on Steemit, but now it is time to also work my weight down. lol. Thank you for taking the time to read and reply. You picked up a new follower.

So do a steem workout every day. Stay consistant and steem on🔥🔥🔥

hahaha, not a bad idea. I've been pretty good lately on working out, but my diet is what gets me. Working at home does me no favors with a stocked fridge and cabinet just 39 feet away... i counted. lol I appreciate the encouragement.

Yes . roger that

Noobs should blog a little, then stick to commenting until they have 100 followers.
Too easy to burn out, when you blog your heart out and both readers like it.

I agree that most people should take their time and learn a little. Commenting is one of the best ways to earn rewards when you are new. Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. I really appreciate it. Good insight too.

awesome and I couldn't agree more, it has made me reconnect and get back to what I love ...creating ... have a great day and steem on !

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. You picked up a new follower.
