My tips for Success on Steem
While working up towards what I consider a successful future on Steem, I've set down some guidelines for myself to follow. I will now publish them for all others to gaze and wonder about. Hopefully these can serve as tips for anyone else struggling to make it here.
My 8 Tips for artists and content creators on Steem
- Be active and consistent
- Hourly/Daily/Weekly/Monthly schedule is important. Follow yours strictly.
- Do separate schedules for updates and art. Gives your content structure.
- Holidays are for wussies (Don't kill yourself by overworking though.)
- Keep them engaged
- A fan who gets a response from you will likely be back for more. Others will too. ("Notice me Sempai!")
- A constant dialog between the artist and the community (or fan base) is essential for your success.
- Don't beg for recognition
- This doesn't go well. Really. Don't do it.
- Begging for recognition will hurt those who are genuinely in need.
- Consider your reputation, especially on Steem. Don't do it.
- If you don't at first succeed, try, try again!
- Success doesn't come to you, you will have to get it!
- Success doesn't happen overnight.
- Work hard, take a good rest and repeat.
- If this fails, try again.
- If after consecutive tries you still don't succeed, don't blame others.
- No-one but you is accountable for your mistakes.
- Blame game will hurt your success, don't do it.
- Consider if you did something wrong at #4. Maybe your art or content needs more work.
- Blaming your audience will get you alienated, don't do it!
- Take a positive approach
- Every day is a new day
- Immerse yourself in things you love doing.
- Even if you don't always feel good, keep doing what you do best.
- In doing the things you love you will eventually find your success.
- Mistakes will happen
- Nothing is forever, success is frail
- Suck it up and make amends. Read #4.
- The fault is not always yours.
- If you know you didn't do anything wrong, own up to it and keep posting.
- Your art, your audience, your rules.
- Keep up, whatever it is you love doing.
Sometimes you will fall
I am personally still working on it, confident I will one day make it and confident I won't stop working when I do. Success is not actually real if you are not prepared to constantly aspire towards it after you've reached it once. Don't use it, you lose it.
And if you do fall. Get up, and try again!

If you liked the post, consider buying me a beer:
Thanks man!! We have to just keep at it, engage, and keep posting quality stuff 😎
Yes, what you wrote is a recipe for success! Great observations. See, I never think what the rules are, I just do it... but if I just came and read this nice structure, I 'd probably be up and running sooner. Must read for every newbie.
I do agree with you that this list is very comprehensive covering the whole process from physical side of creating the post or art work to the emotional cycle of starting, proceeding, confronting reality of success and failure!
Actually this list is very well structure and should be included in the introduction to Steemit menu!
This would have made quite a difference and lessen the pain of growing up!!
Thanks a million @gamer00!
Voted, resteem and following you too.
Cheers.

All very uplifting advice. I also suggest beong general but finding your specialisation, yor thing, something you know most about. And never give up!
Excellent tips! Consistency is the key!!
Good tips thank you, I feel the same at some stage just try to keep schedules to post every day. Its awesome when some upvote avalanche hits you out of the blue. I felt a bit down the last few days, and thought might be just waste of time because only a handful of people sees my previous posts. Then bang one of my post hit the jackpot. I am so grateful and thinking how can I do better quality content, every time. Happy steeming 😊
Do you have a Steemit routine? Thanks for the comment. I hope you have a WONDERFUL day! FOLLOWING YOU!
Quite random, I have a little girl to look after and quite busy during the day. I work nights, and try to fit in steeming posts whenever I can. Its not easy belive me...
I'm lucky, have never had to work nights! Must be difficult! How many times a week do you post on average?
Try to do every day, at least one or one resteem, sometimes more why you asking?
Just curious. Thinking about getting into some kind of routine.
"No pain no gain." That's the spirit! :)
Yes good tips. For me, its number 4 over and over again. I actually enjoy it :)
Thanks! I know, #4 is definitely something we will all have to accommodate in our lives, and for me it's not an exception but rather the rule.

Definitely, where there is a will, there is a way. :)
These are great guidelines to follow! Thank you!
Yes, I was hoping I could be as thorough as I can. But at least for me, these seem to be working pretty well I guess based on that, the list is pretty comprehensive.
I feel complimented, thank you. :)
