It is no surprise to see Steemians yearn, quite naturally, to have their posts accredited in real money, instead of creating value to the Steem-ecosystem.
New-comers, including yours truly, lack and often ignore pre-requisites of successful blogging. Experienced bloggers must be well aware and many Steemians would agree that spreading one’s word and being an influencer is a Herculean task. Majority of us are here to write, and the fact must not be underrated. Remember, it is an ocean teeming with whales, and we as fishes, are to carve out an existence yet. Be a shark rather, that’s the key!
Smooth sails and empty trenches are there in the ocean, but are scattered and scarce. Hone your axe, flutter your gills and be ready to wade through the wilderness with warm and resolute heart. Every blogger has to shine through the combination of talent and committed efforts. Those of us who have experience of soiling facebook pages through random comments only should sit and redefine our objectives primarily and chalk our strategies to improve our writing capacity. Steemit is undoubtedly a proven boon for novices and experts alike; however, gap between recognition and endorsements would persist as long as newbies muster up courage to sustain passive growth or till the moment they acquire power of a whale.
Subsequent success and secrets of captivating blogging on Steemit are something beyond SEO stuff and go straight to the core values of originality, incontestable force of ideas, and the extent of the contribution that a writer can generate. Hence, do not resort to hasty but fallacious overtures; rather be mature, professional, and preserve your integrity as here you are in the becoming of an investor. The effort and the value you would invest into this platform would attract what you aim for yourself, let alone profits.

Starting a Blog
Survey current trends first; ascertain precisely what you are most interested in and can produce better than others; research the ins and outs of your decided topic; be natural and instil your color in the pen-picture; give your best during the production phase; never compromise on casting a second glance on what you are about to post and add something more if possible to enhance its POWER; and only then press the •post• key.
Here are few glitters that Steemians shouldn’t blink away from...
- Post, but only original, grammatically sound, and ripe in context content.
- Allocate sufficient time to compose your posts, eliminate redundancies, and smoothen textual flow.
- Allow space to others and acknowledge their contributions
- In your initial 3 to 4 months on steemit, post only one article per day and make it worth many.
- Interact with your fellow authors and develop a sound rapport.
- Even if your posts garner $0.00, neither lose your heart nor falter your dedication. Your potential could never go unnoticed. It is only matter of being regular and noticed therefrom, you’ll soon!!
- Your posts are community’s value, maximise it.
Moving forward from this intro on steem-life and previously underscored precautions against watchful eyes of Cheetah, I plan to lead newbies towards precise guidelines on composing good and engaging articles soon.
