Why most of us didn't succeed on steemit !
I was wondering why some people stopped blogging on steemit. Some said they stopped because they didn't get enough attention on steemit, some said they were not earning as much as the time they put in writing, others said the politics(meaning you have to know someone big before you could earn atleast and not necessarily about quality write ups) on steemit is just too much so they left.
But my question goes like this; are there people who continued on steemit who did not know people before starting steemit and are doing well? Also are there people who wrote quality content and did not get anything on their post and finally are doing well? Finally, are there people who became the big people by themselves? The answer to the questions I have asked is YES.
Most of us leave a legit system just because we are not getting money from it at that time but don't look at what you stand to gain when you continue in six months time and I begin to wonder. Most of us are guilty of this. We want to go to the system that is paying sharp sharp(meaning fast) and forgetting if the system is sustainable compared to where you are coming from. I remember a reply from a steemian I respect @nathanmars and it goes like this:
Be the change you want to see in the world
I saw this and I said to myself that if everyone was going to think like this, we are all going to move forward.
How about you investing in steem and becoming a whale or trying to know people by socializing on the platform. How about studying steemit and studying people who have made it from steemit. It sounds stressful but truth be told the journey to success is not an easy road.
Finally before I drop my pen.. I will like to say before you can succeed in something, you have to believe in it and be determined within yourself that you aren't stopping until you have succeeded.
You could go over to @nathanmars and @gamsam blog to get some motivation.. Peace !!
Sometimes it is self-distrust. When I started in steem I also thought about not continuing because my publications were in 0.00 and that led me to question myself. I was wondering: Could it be that nobody likes my publication? or will nobody read them? Many times they are distrustful. But here I am again with faith because we have to trust in what we do and even more if we do it with love.
Thats so true dear.. Keep on trusting the process.. Social media involves knowing your audience and following them up...thanks for stopping by at my blog @eumelisb
So is. Everything is to trust and be sure of yourself.
So truedear
Investment in Steem alone doesn't guarantee you success. Sure you will have more SP but if you want to play ethically and not upvote your own posts, then still orcas or whales have to start paying attention to you somehow.
I'm still on Steemit because I have invested in it and have been involved in building community around my Pinky and Spiky comics with drawing contests. But most of the people who participate have much less SP than me so it's like a community service from my part. It feels good to support them and help other people grow.
I have brought several of my friends to Steemit over the course of this year but none of them are still active. I feel they quit because they didn't get financial rewards fast enough. Oh, and let's not forget the effect of bear crypto market on Steemit this year too...
It is real work to post quality content and leave thoughtful comments on 10+ posts every day. You have to love the process. And then maybe just maybe you will start getting traction.
Or not...
Still boils down to trusting the process and finding the way out because for a fact I know, some people are on steemit right now who didn't invest anything and they are doing alright... You investing means you trust the process.. Thank you for stopping by to read this post... I do appreciate
