RE: My Second Coming: Powering Back Up

Thanks! I've recently realized that setting goals is what I haven't been doing. I'll KNOW what I WANT to be or do but I don't actually speak it into existence, if you catch my meaning. Just committing to seeing how much progress I can make here in a year and committing to sticking to writing and growing out in the open has helped because I've officially decided it's a goal (rather than just thinking I should do it like it'll magically 'just' happen).

Sort:  

Your "1-year" target sound like a good plan. I myself don't often set goals, but I usually know what I want to do. I don't always attain my goals, and I admit that it's becuz I'm a bit lazy.

But when I joined Steemit, I had plenty of ideas for different series of postings, and set about to work. I produced material, and I uploaded it... And had little response and meager rewards.

Then I set about "networking", interacting with other Steemians and building a following, and uploading more of my material. I expected great(er) rewards, and the rewards started to get better, but overall, any rewards that I got were not much better than in my first month on this platform.

Still, I liked the material I was producing, I enjoyed producing it, and I loved uploading it and getting even a few comments. So, I kept at it.

Lo and behold, the past few weeks have seen my number of followers increase noticeably, and my rewards also increasing ... almost noticeably!

That's after 4 months. So, after a year, I expect I will be a little more successful on this platform. And I assume you will not be far behind.

Stick with it, keep plugging away. Do what you like / love / feel passionate about.

The magic is in you. Express it, in any way you can.
Abracadabra.

This is fantastic advise and, coincidentally, I set the intention last night to put greater effort into networking on steemit. Great minds 😉

I'm glad all of your good work is starting to see better rewards. 😍 Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
