RE: Easy Step By Step: How To Post On Steemit And Earn. By Gregory Mannarino

in #steemit7 years ago

Already started using it, have earned a few pennies so far, but it can snowball eventually I bet :)

Time and effort. You'll also have slow and busy periods. The key really is to focus on enjoying yourself and posting things you are interested in. If you are interested in them other people likely will be too and you'll gather followers. You can earn without followers, but your earning becomes more consistent as your followers increase. The important thing is to have fun and not focus on how much you do or do not make. I made $0 on many posts I put a lot of time into when I started back in July.

Thanks for posting this.
I started to get all caught up in the details and realised I was anxiously stewing over all of the various elements of posting to maximise earnings.
This morning, as I was doing the washing, I came to this same realisation.
I'm just going to have fun.

Yes, you'll make money. I promise you. Yet removing the worrying about "how much" you make will make it enjoyable. The people I see that are the most unhappy almost always are about not making as much as someone else, not making anything, or asking for people to give them votes.

They don't seem to last. I didn't make a lot on most of my posts starting out and I started out when it was $4/steem so some people were making insane amounts for a post.

A girl makes over $30,000 on a make up tutorial and suddenly we're flooded with other people making make up tutorials. For the time and the amount of people using the platform that type of payout was unsustainable.

I never have had a post over $1000 though I have been here through those times.

My best ever actually was three comments in a row that I wrote where I used poetry as my response on my other account @chaospoet. I made close to $900 total on those three COMMENTS. That's still my personal best.

Most of my posts were under $1 back then, and many were $0. I just started writing things I was interested in, and using this place as kind of a repository for my mind.

Over time I gather followers. I also try to improve my skills and learn more about myself.

I am still not usually on the Trending page, I think I've been number 2 or 3 before there when payouts were at an all time low so it maybe gave me $20 or so. But I do tend to make at least something from every post I make now.

That is pretty cool. Though ultimately I don't care. I have never powered down my steem power. I just post and enjoy it, and become more and more attached to this wonderful community.

Welcome, and I wish you a similar but uniquely you journey.

Yes, and thank you for this info.

Yes it will,snowball if you are consistent!
