Hello, Abolarin, and Welcome to Steemit.

If you have passion and diligence to go along with your writing skills, you could go far here on Steemit. I'm a writer too, but most of my career was spent teaching English or editing written English.

Now, on Steemit, I'm a writer. Full Stop. It's not yet lucrative, but I enjoy every minute of my "work" and I'm quite proud of my content so far.

I'm sure you too will have a similar experience. If not a better one!!

Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.

1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
4. Be yourself.
5. Be interesting and informative.
6. Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
7. Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
