More than a month on Steemit / Results / Experience

Hello fellow Steemians!

I have been here for more than a month and I am happy to share my achievements! I post mostly my artworks and you can see some of them at the picture.

First of all, I am very grateful to every single one of you who supported me all this time and commented on my posts. Thank you, guys, this is really important for me and it motivates me to continue and work harder. Art is something that requires inspiration and you give it to me!

There are a lot of first-month-on-steemit posts and many of new steemians say about their unbelievable success, thousands of dollars earn for their content and hundreds of followers. My results are not so impressive, but they surpassed all my expectations anyway: 220 followers, 52 reputation level and ~1500 USD earned with varying success. And my face was like:

I am not very good at writing (what is more, English is not my native language) so I chose to make an art blog and I should say this is not the most profitable niche (at least in my case and with my reputation level). In general, posts with drawings are less popular than for example posts about cryptocurrencies and blockchain, so it is absolutely necessary to understand how to make them more visible. To that end I got acquainted with a bunch of Upvote bots, Minnow Support Project (P.A.L.), Hive account@qurator, different contests, steemfollower.com, steemit.chat, Upvote First channel in Telegram and many other interesting instruments helping achieve more engagement.

I’ve read plenty of posts about time of posting. This is extremely important, because posting is useless when the most of Steemians are asleep. There are no any unique guidelines on when to post, more than that, engagement on different tags is different at different time. So this is individual for everyone and I’m trying to find my own pattern.

Well, this is all actually not only about earnings, it is simply interesting here. One can find a lot of useful or interesting information in this enormous amount of content. There are so many talented people and so much to learn from them.

I was always dreaming about blogging but wasn’t sure about the platform. Now I can say for sure that I’ve found the best one ever.

Sincerely yours,
Anton
