I got a question on a previous post asking about how to grow on Steem and make your account prosper as the steem blockchain prospers as well!!
There are 3 main points that I have that I think can be really beneficial to any steemian looking to grow their account over the coming months/years:
- Write about your passions
- Invest time into your Steem "business"
- Invest money into your Steem "business"
So the first one is constantly talked about so I will only say a few words on it. You need to write about things that you are truly passionate about because that's the spark that produces the best writing. A lot of people find it hard to crank out even a 300 word post and that's largely due to the fact that they just aren't interested in the topic enough to give their truest thoughts on it.
The second one is investing time into your "business." Some may not refer to their accounts as such, but I really look at it as each person's account is their "steem business"... It's the hub for all their activities on the blockchain of opportunity and I think that's what it should be labeled and thought of as.
Investing time means investing time into your posts, your knowledge of the blockchain, your comments and engagement with other posts, your knowledge and usage of other platforms on top of the steem blockchain, etc etc...
Investing money into your Steem business is also simple: SP (Steem Power) is a representation of your influence on the platform and your "vested interest", if you will in the appreciation of STEEM and the development of the blockchain.
I really look at investing in SP as being like earning or purchasing stake in a company that you work for. The more shares you can get in the early stages, the more incredible your returns will be as the company flourishes because of your and your fellow Steemian efforts.
Investing in SP and then investing in time spent on Steem to back that up is what can create an exponentially greater success curve for you.
