RE: A journey to the 1 comma club and beyond on Steemit & why I am 'powering up' 100% of my earnings - Part #3

in #steemit8 years ago

I just want to say, if you take a look at my blog history, you will find a lot of very 'unsuccessful' posts, and guess what? I don't care. I didn't moan, I kept going, and I will keep going. The money is a really nice side bonus.

This is quite true, the only problem is forgetting this attitude and trying to compare one's own results with other's and sometimes being frustrated about that.

Thank you for sharing your story, I think perseverance is always the key to everything!

I have faith in the fact that, if I can create compelling content, the upvotes will come. If they don't then I know my content simply is not compelling enough. A nice feedback loop.

Not soooo sure I agree with that statement. Often a blog is compelling but is on and off the radar so fast that those who may find it compelling...simply do not see it. I check my feeds regularly to see what has been posted by people I follow.. and even there I miss a helluva lot. There is seldom older than 6 hours there...and I am in th southern hemisphere and most Steemians are in the Northern Hemisphere... so I sleep through a lot... and they sleep through my compelling {grin} posts !

Perhaps I should say it this way instead; if I create utterly pointless content, the upvotes definitely will not come.

However, fellow Southern Hemispherian, I have the same issue as you re time zones. I'll pay that {grin}.
