RE: My Second Coming: Powering Back Up
Hello, AprilAngel, and welcome to Steemit.
I understand the "not follow thru" part so well. Often, if something takes diligence and effort, I might not complete my project.
However, I've found that passion helps. If it's something that I truly want to do, nothing can stop me from doing it. I'll do it at my own pace, which might be fast some days and slow other days. But it's never forced.
I hope you can find something that you are passionate about, and that you find a way to bring that to the Steemit platform. That would benefit you and the Steemit community.
Best of luck, and Full Steem Ahead.
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).
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.
