When I first joined Steemit I was at first carried away with the kind of monies I saw as upvotes for some post and was wondering what they wrote about to earn such huge rewards. I used to go to the trending pages and see post having upvote value of $1000+, $700+, $500+ on the first day the post was made and I said to myself, Ken, if you can write killer blog post like these guys then you better start preparing for early retirement. Lol.
Decoding The Killer Strategy
I must say, I was a bit disappointed when I started reading the content of some of the high earning blog posts I was seeing because I was trying to decode and learn how they were able to write such killer blog post on a regular basis and earned so much from them. My early retirement plan had to take a back seat after a long time of reading to find that killer strategy. Lol. I didn’t know about bid bots, communities inside the steemit community, curation trails and the many Dapps and tools that helped you that extra push. I didn’t know about been a whale, dolphin, minnow and the other fishes you already know about. I didn’t know how powerful Steem Power was and why I needed loads of it. I just thought l had to write like Shakespeare and relax and let the money start rolling in. Lol.
My Findings When Reading Post Content
After reading through most of the post I was seeing on the trending page I moved to the new post section and started monitoring blog post with titles I felt were going to be instant success, I saw what I thought were great post but at the end of the day some of them didn’t earn up to $0.20. Yes, you read it right $0.20. I saw posts I felt had great content were original and insightful but didn’t get much of a notice if I may say. In all this astonishing finding I noticed some post had only a picture with two or three word describing the picture like “leaning tower” and boom, the gets upvote rewards worth more than $25, now that was interesting. Something wasn’t write in my thing then and I had to find out what was going on here.
The Community Factor
I have come to the understanding that this is a community of people and in that community are other subsets of other communities that are made up of different interest group which caters for different needs. People with a particular interest come together to form a community and people with such interest joined these communities and they growing as more people are joining the group. The way it works is this, if you are active you grow with the group because in this game no man is an island and no it is not a one man show thing. You might have one million Steem Power but you still need the community. One million Steem power to upvote only yourself to earn $1000 but have no other person upvote your post is not fun, no comments on your post, no reteem. Men, you’ll be a loner I tell you.
Understanding The Power Of The Community
You’ve got to understand the power of that thing called community, a community of people with one goal can break boundaries. Anytime they set their minds on achieving something they normally succeed in doing it because they are working as one. You’ve got to belong to some of the numerous communities that are on this blockchain that tickles your fancy, be active in them, give support as much as you possibly can, support here comes in many forms and they include upvoting members posts, commenting, resteeming, delegating Steem Power to projects you feel strongly about, donating Steem/SBD to worthy courses, trying out new Dapps when they are released to help developers upgrade them to better useable Dapps, participating in contest and polls, organize your own contest that aims to help members. You can help out in many other ways I’ve forgotten to mention here or left out unknowingly. If you support the community, I tell you the community will not fail to reward you bountifully. If you engage actively on the blockchain, people will notice you and also support you. It isn’t a one day thing though it takes time, dedication and persistency. Some got there faster while some got there not so fast but the important thing is that we are all moving forward to a better position which is at the top.
In Conclusion
Don’t just go and write the killer blog post, post it and go to sleep expecting to come back the next seven days to collect a fat cashout reward in hundreds of dollars. You wish. Engage the community and help it to help you. It’s a matter of you scratch my back and I scratch yours. Lol.
