Of all the people I introduced to Steemit only one ( ) is really sticking with it consistently. And it's such a pleasure to see him slowly developed as a blogger.
But blogging is not as easy as it once was on Steemit. The bloggers that started a year ago simply had fewer bloggers to share the reward pool with.
So, with more users joining every day. As a new blogger, you really need to produce content you enjoy creating and be consistent at it.
And I specifically say content you enjoy creating for good reason.
In the beginning, I tried a couple of times to make content I thought would do well but I didn't enjoy. And it was mind-numbing and awful to do. I never want to go back to that.
Rewards will follow from your content and actions on here but should never be the main goal.
I talk about it more in my vlog. (starts around 3:35)
