- The Inner Dialogue of a Noob
Before you write your introductory post you read through a few. You see the Filipino #MotherOf Jack and Isabela from Venazuela make $500 for telling steemit about her city and what is for dinner tonight. Then you see a paleo vegan #insta crossfit model prepper from Finland make $400.00 for her composting article. Of course there is always a Rico Techy Neuvo writing about the steem platform and the economic implications this technology brings to society. Everyone on steemit is inspired and vote the guy up to $1000 for the post. You look in the wallet and you see a million steem bucks.
Tip: always comment and vote on these posts, when you are new you need to engage the successful to be successful.

- Vote on Posts that are Making $$$ after the 15 Minute Mark.
It goes against the purist in us all, but save most of your 10 daily votes for posts that are already making money after 15 minutes. This helps you build curation rewards. That said save a few votes for noobs like you that write a great introduction article and posts.
- Comment on Posts that are Making $$$.
People who are successful on steemit have most likely seen many fast and quick comments. Be unique, be funny, be thoughtful to get the authors attention so that they might want to follow you even if it takes seeing three of your 1000 posts before they recognize you. This is high value networking!
