I might be new to Steemit joined only in October 2017. But what i observed is that apart from few Western & South east countries members, Others are earning low and their income is not up the expectation level what they predicted before joining steemit.
Also here i would like to mention that most of the Indians join Steemit believing that by posting some videos / images / contents copies from other sites, they can get more upvotes and more income. Forming groups among friends and upvoting each other post is not going to help in even starting your earning.
Here the story is little different.
Steemit is place not for easy money, but needs some smart & more hard working tactics.
Steemit is not like any other website. You need to consider this as your own business where you join a community and get grow along with them. Let me put this simple:-
(1) You need to know that Steem Power decides the effectiveness of your upvotes which you do yourselves / for others. Hence you need to invest in Steem Power at the beginning considering it as a business. For more details on the same, please visit www.steemnowcalculator.com
(2) Think before you upvoting others an their contents as your Voting Power also comes down depends upon the selection of percentage you choose while upvoting. Also its takes almost 1 hour again for !% increase of Voting power.
(3) Post your contents in original and try avoiding Copy / paste.
(4) Don't Power Down your Steem Power at the initial state of joining the Steemit.
At last Guys Its takes time, but you need to be focused, invest in Steem Power, Upvote valid Posts & comments them is going to help you in the long Run.
Welcome once again Steemians
