These newbies need to be oriented, less they only do introduction post and after some days, they will back out. Steemit requires hard work and dedication, the more time, resource and energy you put into it, the more result you get from it. Steemit is not a quick money scheme and therefore cannot give you the result expected in a short time. Introductory post is just a welcome post that if done properly will give you a jump. Everyone wanna support a newbie, so you can easily get that in a platter of gold on your introduction post. But the real journey begins, when you start to find your niche on the steemit blockchain and begin to build it into your dream blog.
You must interact and build relationships, you must deliberately grow your followership and you must help others who will help you in return. Steemit is not a place to drop blogs and log off. It is a place to blog, comment, upvote and make friends. This is what eventually pays off.
