RE: Does Steemit Do The Most to Support Gender Equality?
Steemit is a great opportunity but i think it is only for whales. I shared a very informative post few days back and there were only 3 views. The post was really awesome and I have lost my motivation after getting no response from that.
That's because you have no followers. You should not spend lots of time creating quality content with no followers. Generate high quality comments on POPULAR articles right when they go up, don't start slaving at authoring until you have a couple hundred at least.
It takes time to build a following and get noticed. Be patient and maybe make a point to post 1 thing per day and go comment on other people's posts too! I've put 2 hours into a post before and it earned less than a dollar but I enjoyed creating the content so that's what mattered to me.
There's definitely a learning curve here and I'm still pretty new to the site so I have a lot to learn. Try to Read posts from whales and dolphins that are directed at new people and learn about proper steemit etiquette too. That's what I'm doing.
Listening to me may be like the blind leading the blind but I have had some posts earn a good amount in my first week and I'm very happy about it. Go into this with the mindset that you're here to have fun, learn, meet interesting people, and share your experiences. The money will come eventually.
Good luck to you!
Life tends to work the same way where well rounded investments tend to pay off the most. Would you continue sharing your best posts on my upvotable posts like this on yesterday https://steemit.com/steemit/@jerrybanfield/does-steemit-do-the-most-to-support-gender-equality because this is where I upvote and follow new authors?
Honestly after earning as much as $1,000 a day on Steemit barely making $100 a post I feel the same way which is what makes Steemit a great opportunity for those that stay through the downtimes. If the price went down 10 times more like it was in the past I would be lucky to get $10 a post even with a $40,000+ investment. Persistence on Steemit pays the most and yes it is hard to get started without a following somewhere else. That said, it is nearly impossible to get started and make any money at all anywhere else!
Don't give up! It's always hard at the beggining but it will pass :)
I hear ya...hang in there, anyone can potentially become a whale if they put in the time and effort. Seems the general consensus is to start off making as many comments (as long as they are thoughtful) as possible until you have enough of a network built to appreciate your posts. We just discussed this here: https://steemit.com/help/@jobsande/best-steemit-newbie-strategy-posting-vs-commenting
Give it another month at least, I say. Comment on other peoples' posts instead of posting. Get the feel of it. Then post. Best of luck - we're in the same boat (or net :-)).
