The purpose of writing this article is the fact that I see lots of people complaining about their low earnings on Steemit. I would like these people to know that they are not losers yet, and they always have the chance to succeed on Steemit. However, the tips below will grant you the solution which I reached by trial and error. What this means is that after more than 6o posts, trying to grow up on Steemit, finally, I started to understand the key to success. And below I will share with you these tips to make your way short into growing up and avoid suffering the long way like my case.
Think about how to support the platform
If you think you will post anything and earn money so you are totally wrong. So take this advice: think about ways to contribute to the Steemit community. And you are able to do so in several ways. One such method is to design an app that serves the community in some ways - an example of this is the 'esteem app' which helps you log in to your Steemit account, up-vote posts, etc. This app, briefly, is a Steemit on mobile.
Don't think about money
Overthinking about earnings and refreshing your page hundred times to see if you have earned something or someone upvoted your post is a completely a bad choice. On the other hand,
Choose your niche,
Follow accounts of the same topics,
Comment often on posts related to your blog,
Reply to comments on your posts,
Post original content,
Support your article with images and references to reliable sources.
And only through achieving these steps you are able to make your way and grow up on Steemit.
Avoid using bots
Using bots to post comments will decrease your popularity. Believe me, it disturbs people a lot when they notice a bot comment as they surf their post. They also don't feel motivated to reply since the person who built the bot just have the purpose of posting a certain automated message without ever willing to see what the user will reply. So stay loyal and stop this bot business.
Stop begging for upvotes
This is the huge mess going on through social media. Every time someone shares a post to a Steemit page on Facebook, several comments begin to appear begging for up-vote exchange: 'up-vote for up-vote', or 'done, please up-vote mine'. This is totally unprofessional and it harms your account instead of lifting it up. Have you ever seen anyone grown up on a blog just for exchanging views and clicks? Of course not! And this is the same for Steemit. Up-vote for up-vote strategy is totally destructive and does bad for you and for the Steemit platform reputation.
Attract Steemit Whales
To attract Steemit whales, keep in mind that 'you must not post junk content'. Posting anything for the sake of luck is a fatal mistake. And I think you have noticed this during the time you spent writing junk content and posting it or copying content from the web to your post (plagiarism).
The last advice I can give you is to be loyal to your community, followers, and most important to yourself. Posting bad stuff will return bad to you and to the platform reputation, however, finding solutions and posting valuable stuff will, for sure, be beneficial to both of you.
Best Regards.
