If you want to be successful on Steemit, you have to invest. As the age old saying goes... "If you don't have money you probably have time." Today we'll discuss the best ways to invest in Steemit.

I have been delegated 1,000 SP to help new Steemonians find Steemit Success. Over the month of September I will be posting daily about different strategies, tips and tricks to help you become the best Steemoninan you can be. You can start at the beginning if you want.

30 Days Of Steemit Success

For some people, when they join Steemit they can invest cash and buy STEEM and power up. Assuming most of you are not in that position, this blog is for you. If you have extra cash and you want to invest some, Steemit is a great platform that I believe in. The value of STEEM is undervalued in my opinion and has a lot of room to grow.

When you think of success on Steemit, your scope should be long-term. Plan on staying for the long-run and invest with your time. It takes time to grow your Steemit account and build up STEEM Power. Steemit is a huge time investment if you want to see success, and there is no real shortcut.

Like any investment, the best thing to do is to just put the daily fluctuations out of your mind and focus on the end goal. When you are starting out, you might make $1.00 on a post and then get frustrated that you only made $0.21 on the next three. It doesn't matter, you are watching too closely if you think of Steemit as an investment.

After three months, then look back and see the growth. Look at it after a year and then be the judge if the investment is worth it. I say yes. It doesn't matter if you make hundreds or millions of Steemit, you are creating money by communicating your thoughts and ideas. There are not too many other places in the world that will pay you just for being you.

I like to think of things this way...

Steemit is like a compounding savings account. The more you make, the more you make. For example.

If someone said to me, I will pay you $800 to write for at least two hours a day for three months. Basically it boils down to about $4 an hour. That isn't much and I would have probably turned it down.

But...

If someone said to me, I will pay you $800 to write for at least two hours a day for the first three months. The next three months I will pay you $1,100 to write for at least two hours a day. Then then next three months I will pay you $1,500 to write for at least two hours a day. Then the three months after that, I will pay you $2,000. After a year you will have made $5,400. The more you invest in Steemit and the longer you continue, the faster your account will grow.

If you invest in Steemit, it will also invest in you. Spending that much time writing will make you a better writer. Spending time reading other blogs will make you a better reader and smarter. If spend more time traveling you will become a better traveler. Whatever you do and whatever you share... Steemit will make you better.

If you invest in Steemit, not only will you over time build up a valuable account, you will also become better at whatever skills you use to interact on Steemit. There are few investing options in the world that deliver such quality to your life. Steemit is an investment that will pay off big time, but like all investments, you must invest wisely.
