The Power Of Your Voice
It sucks. I know. You hop on Steemit thinking you will do well right away and start getting noticed for your posts. However you find that it seems like climbing Mount Everest just to get an eyeball on your post. This can be discouraging for anyone. But yet and still what you say or do can have a major impact on someone else's life.
I've read or watched tons of posts that were not considered popular or set to make a ton of money but I still came away being positively impacted by them. Obviously we want people to hear what we have to say and obviously we also would love to be compensated for the work we do. So I totally get people's frustrations over not being able to gain traction Steemit.
At this point you may feel like your voice is not important. You may feel like you don't have enough Steem Power to make a difference. You may feel like giving up on Steemit all together. Well the reason why I made this post was to encourage you to reconsider those thoughts.
Reasons for using your voice, voting, and staying involved in the Steemit community:
- You may literally change someone's life by the words you speak. Remember that life and death are in the power of the tongue
- Even if you have very little Steem Power your vote can still motivate someone to continue producing content
- People will respect you for being yourself and having the willingness to provide something helpful to the community
- You can be a part of projects that are springing up all across Steemit
- You can meet so many people from all over the world
- You have the possibility of getting paid for what you have to say
- You may be sitting on a gold mine of knowledge & wisdom that other's can glean from.
Wrap Up
We all have something to give regardless of what it is. Find a way to give what you have and enjoy doing it.Steemit is not just about the top authors or those with the most influence although those things are rewarded the most. Most of us are just trying to build a healthy and mutually benefiting environment here. So please understand that what you have to bring to this platform is important too even if you go unnoticed in the process. If you can help at least one person, which you WILL be able to do, then you have made some kind of impact. Peace.
