Hello Hive account@sharmaakash,

I have seen one of your articles about twitter and you are fine. The one recommendation I have for you is that don't use Steemit to find out if you are a good writer or not instead say you are a good writer and make Steemit take note. :)

The success on this platform differs a bit from the others. I write on two other sites and there success is dependant on how fast google picks up your article. Here the challenge is to become visible above the noise level. For that, you may have to take the help of bots (minnowbooster, minnowpond and others) which is a topic in itself. But to use bots you need Steem or SBD and where will you get SBD from?

That's why my thoughts on how to make money. Now, there are many for and against the legitimacy of bots, but my point is that this site is designed in such a way that usage of bots is just fine. So, follow the model. Why fight it?

Lastly, the more important thing is to use the above examples of contests to write, earn, learn and reinvest into new articles and grow. There are many more. If you have doubt about your articles doing well, scroll down my blog page and see how much money my first few articles made.... Zilch... :)

So, enjoy yourself and all the best!
