RE: Milestone Moment - 1000 Followers! To Show my Gratitude... I'm Giving Away 10 SBD (Details Inside)
Congratulations on your 1000 followers! You deserve these people who are loyal to you and your music.
Anyways, I would like to believe that I learned the essence of Steemit the hard way. I was invited here with very little knowledge of the platform except ho to cash out lol. My orientation was towards earning and getting that money from the platform (especially when SBD was as high as 15$ back then). I thought Steemit would give me easy money but turns our, it didn't. But I was glad how my interpersonal skills made it so much easier. Here are my best insights:
- Quality = This is after all the brand of the platform. Post quality content. Curate great content. Be at your best when you leave a comment. Being full of quality is hard but it does help if you make it a habit. Sooner or later I bet quality will chase after you as well.
- Have a community minded orientation = Although Steemit was not made initially to form congregations or groups it is amazing how human nature takes hold of things. I have seen Steemit grow into communities and I believe this is one factor to consider. Share insights with like-minded people and build connections. This is very important
- Have fun: You cant possibly be in a social media platform without having fun. The opportunities in Steemit are endless. What really matters is that you have fun with what you do (and maybe earn from it) Either way you are at no loss. Get to know yourself, what makes you tick? And when you find that, make it your niche!
- Do more expect less: The incentivized system of steemit is pretty amazing. Until now I cant believe that this is even possible. However, the system can take a toll on you esteem as well especially after seeing trending posts get a lot of rewards. Make steemit your home, a place for you and friends. The rewards are just a bonus.
These are my thoughts on being on board the Steemit journey. So far, I have realized that I want to host contests and I want to participate in some as well. I actually found your contest in @artz's compilation. I did this by following the advice that I have just given. I had fun scrolling through the contests and I even had the chance to stop by and hear some of your music. Great voice!
Anyways, great contest. I have high regard for people who give people a chance on steemit through contests. I have grown a lot because of those contests and I want to do the same for others. Best of luck to you. Count me in as one of your friend. Consider your followers 1,001 (Actually you have 1,075 as of writing but for the sake of my joke, let it be LOL haha)
Brilliant line! I couldn’t agree with you more. Like-minded people tend to find each other, and those who appreciate good content or more likely to interact with others who feel the same way. :-)
Also, your section on “do more, expect less” really hit home. A lot of people think they can get rich quick, but they have to be willing to put the work in to make it.
Great to see that you are following your own advice about having fun! :-) Thanks so much for your kind words about my Music post. I’m glad you enjoyed them!
(Ps... sorry it’s took me so long to catch up on all the responses! I will be doing a drawing for the winner and will post the results later tonight! )
No worries. I know how hard it is to conduct your own contest. I have mine as well. Its still small but it did cost a lot of time. Best of luck to everyone who joined. Thanks again
