I have recently began contemplating about my own voice and content here on Steemit. For some time now I have been on this great site, but I began questioning my purpose here. After all, I don't post the same types of content, I don't know very much about programming or developing like many of those who strike it big here. So I wondered, do I really matter?
I scrolled through some of my recent content and began thinking. What can a twenty year old girl like me contribute to this community? I can only post what I know and whatever I know might not be relatable to the general Steemit community. I am far from experienced with programming and know the least bit about the Steemit market. I originally came to Steemit to just blog and maybe vlog about my life experiences.
And that's just it. I realize it doesn't matter that I'm not the most knowledgeable about what the biggest whales are into that get them the most Steem power and following. If I was here to create a giant following then maybe I would drop what I actually like to write about and force myself to learn something I do not really have an interest in. But that's not why I'm here. I just want to share some life experiences and interests with the Steemit community and if people choose to respond to me, hey, that's great. If not, it definitely won't be the end of the world.
So if I had any advice to give someone just starting out on Steemit, do not conform and change the style of content from what you enjoy posting to what you need to post in order for you to be liked more to then get you a bigger following and more Steem. Yes, the Steem will come so long as you keep true to yourself. I feel like with anything, you can truly lose yourself, even to the point where you might lose yourself forever. So be yourself here. That's what I learned.
Thanks for reading. :)
