How do I make money on Steemit? Everyone keeps saying post, post , post and comment, comment, comment. Well I have been doing that for about a month now and I've made .008 dollars. Be honest. Do I need to buy steem power? I've read other posts that say that the only way to get your work in front of other users who will actually upvote it is to invest more money into the platform via steem power etc. Is this true. People on the platform don't even comment if the content is bad. I would take even that as constructive criticism. How do you get people to participate? The platform is a great idea but it is never going to work if people don't participate. When I say participate I mean with positive or negative commenting. It is my opinion that if you tell a person that their post sucks, then they will work to make them better in the future. This will, in essence, ultimately make the platform better and will make the content better quality.
