Hello my fellow Steemians!
I am new to SteemIT and i screwed up my verification the first time, so here it is! here i am.
Here goes nothin...
Why Is SteemIT frustrating to me?
Firstly, i want to let out a virtual scream, AHHH!!
It's hard for us minnows out here man
okay now i have my composure
SteemIT is frustrating to me because it's so hard to think of good content, and then when you do have something good it most likely will get no love. It's difficult to be seen in this sea of whales and dolphins when you are only just a mere minnow :-(
I mean let's face it, people are catching on to SteemIT i've seen 
I even came across a user who strictly posts porn.......every post is NSFW, lol. I'm not sure if this is completely allowed, but it just goes to show you what people are trying to do, they are just looking for the moolah. And i won't lie, i am too. I think we all are here (at least to some to degree) to make money from our content. But some of us actually appreciate the art in creating rich content, so it's kind of a slap in the face to have to compete with people who are just here for the money.
It makes me want to scream again!
I haven't used HTML or any kind of markup (or markdown) language in years, and it seems in order to have really good looking formatted content i have to remember these lil' codes that i once forgotten. I guess that is not such a bad thing, i guess it's just frustrating to have to format every post and then still possibly get no love on the post. I guess this does separate the real bloggers and creators of pure content from the people who are just here for the moolah.
I think it will take some time for anyone to figure out their niche, but it's still frustrating! I see some Steemians have their niche going and i am struggling to find my place and what exactly i will blog about. Do i blog my music? my thoughts on life? do i blog everything i think of and hope people can relate? I think for any new user on here it's going to be frustrating getting passed the stage of being a minnow and finally finding that niche that works for you. It's frustrating but also fun figuring out what people like to read from me.
I'm a Husband a Father and i am also myself, and although i've only been on SteemIT for a couple of days i am finding it hard to find the time to post. It takes so long for me to think of something worthwhile to post, and then once i think of it i have to format it, and then i have to proof read it. My first post as my introduction literally took me all day to post it, and i still made mistakes! And i had to go back in and edit them, lol. I am hoping the more that the more i post, the easier it will become. As with anything, practice makes perfect!
Yeah i know, its 2017 and im supposed to be this computer guy and i've never even blogged anything before. What kind of geek am i?...
So i'm here now on this platform trying to understand this whole blogging thing and how to write them cohesively. I will say it's not easy! and its equally as frustrating, but i'm always up for a challenge. And when there is a challenge in front of me i usually destroy it!
I love SteemIT, and what we have here. It's a beautiful social media platform with so much to offer to it's users now and to it's future users. But i do have some frustrations as a new user here, which i'm sure a lot of us can relate to, trying to be noticed among a sea of people. And since i am part of this new influx it's making it that much more difficult to get noticed. But i know consistency plays the biggest role in anyone's success in life, be it on SteemIT or anywhere else. So i will remain consistent, and continue to post good content that hopefully some people find informative. I also I want to take a moment to thank the creators of SteemIT because this truly is an amazing and innovative platform that i am happy to be a part of. And please if there are any Whales or Dolphins reading this, some advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Until next time folks, Ron Donson signing off.
