I've only been on steemit for a few weeks but I've come to the realization that the key is to somewhat forget about the financial gains and focus on the engagement with others.
Concentrate on exchanging useful information with others and come what may.
If I get to pass on some useful knowledge or new constructive experiences with others then all the hours spent on writing those posts weren't spent in vain.
I can't understand those who advise to post very frequently. Its only driven by a thirst to make money as quickly as possible. How could this be beneficial to a community or oneself?
Original content and insightfulness is what would make steemit a truly different place on the internet.
Well said.@irelandscape
