I wish I could just reach five. I post quality posts once a day and I don't even have anyone to see it, not to talk of an upvote. Meanwhile, there are people abusing the system to make 10k+ a day.
And... what communities have you joined and actively contributed to? You wont get any votes without followers and you wont get any followers hidden by yourself in a dark room posting. There are over a hundred great thriving steem subcommunities to participate in, and you must participate to get value from them and build relationships.
People come here expecting money to fall from the sky or something. Do you have a project? Are you building a following by adding value to the ecosystem? Have you joined communities and been a friend to make a friend?
You can open a pizza shop, but the register wont fill it self you have to make great pizza (content) and then maybe sponsor a kids sports team (participate in the community) and then advertise (actively be in your communities being a friend to make more friends, who will then follow you and vote on your content, if its worth voting on.)
Or you can complain your way through it, expect it to magically happy, post finger pics and whine, while those of us with less than 7 months on the system have earned 10-20 grand in steem and sbd which a LOT more in fiat, built massive followings, contributed projects, software or community leadership to the ecosystem and actually WORKED to earn our income, because this ain't no magic ATM machine.
^^^^^ This, this and more of this. Why do people struggle to understand that the best way to make this platform a success for themselves and everyone else is to WORK at it.
I literally made no complaints. I do put out great content and I am working my way up. I was just pointing out the fact that some people are cutting corners. Did not say I would stop making great contents or anything. Was just making an observation based on the post and added a funny gif.
Why not resteem your post- invest steem to get steem. Its simple. The front page of the newspaper goes to the highest paying client. If you arent confident your posts have value, and dont invest steem into reporting them, you remain in the back pages, in the classified ads, if that makes any sense.
You cannot resteem your own post and the front page goes to those with the most views or comments no highest paying clients. I do plan to invest in steem, I'm investing my time and while I plan to invest my money, now is not a good time. Also, why do you think you should put in money to get money? Steem should be about content not pay to play. We already have enough of that in our government and it's sickening.
I agree, but thats the way it is. The money you get from steem comes from.......PEOPLE WHO BUY STEEM TO MAKE THEIR POSTS STAND OUT. IVE DONE IT. When are people going to learn there is no free lunch? Look at other peoples wallets and monitor their activity- if you want to emulate their success.
Lol I agree, I would get to your position at some point but not now. All I am asking for now is a chance to prove my worth. Then when the time presents itself, I would invest financially in the program.
Agreed. Lucky for me, I invested in STEEM before I actually used Steemit (I like to diversify my portfolio) so I got to start this account with some STEEM all ready for me. Other than that, it's way to expensive to pay-to-play as a newbie.
Goodluck with your content man! I'm in the same boat. I want to try and prove my worth with well discussed articles & blogs before I delve more into the pay-to-play.
It doesn't take a dime to make it here and i know dozens of people who came here with not only nothing but from pure abject poverty conditions and they didnt cry - they worked it and boom, they are good a couple months in - No Sir, not money, tho that does work too, but it takes work, plain and simple, and most people you will see here with low reps and big dreams wont do it. Just like they never got rich on ebay while others did or amazon while others did, or on external blogs, while others did. Some work, some don't. I have a full time job, but still spend around 20 hours a day on steem related tasks. and i am incredibly successful without ever really investing much at all (maybe like $200 months and months ago once?)
yep, its WORK, and it gets so wearisome hearing people complain when you look at their blogs and they are in no communities, post mostly crap, and have not made any effort to create followers by being a good community citizen. It's a tad maddening, when the work isnt actually that hard, but people just wont do it.
Yeah, I think the OP on this comment thread was just kidding. Still, you have good advice. Since this is a social network, people without a large stake to start with, have to work extra hard to get involved.
I helped build multiple communities here over the last 6 months, one of them the largest single community on steem (no longer with them so i shall not name them) and I saw these complaints over and over from people who just cannot grasp that this is a J-O-B JOB, not a game or facebook or a free money magic machine. It takes a LOT of work, I know, because i came with nothing, Im a top 80 witness now, a solid community contributor and founder, ive built projects and given them to the community to call their own and more, all while owning a partnership in a major non-crypto software company that keeps me plenty busy on its own. Welcome to life, where there is no free lunch. You gotta earn it~ :)
Ha, nobody is more down to earth than me, and when you spend all your time down on the ground like that, you sure dont want any BS laying around near by :)
Sleeping 4 hours a day must make you really tired and cranky. There are only 24 hr a day on the planet earth. you spend 20 a day on steemit. Bad work life balance if you ask me. " I have a full time job, but still spend around 20 hours a day on steem related tasks."
My wish to dear
But certainly you going to reach it
Steemit is the future
You will. It takes time. I was where you are at just a few months ago. Now I'm just above your current Goal. Now my goal is $100/day.
i hope that time comes soon :)
Dear Friend
Like the best moment & every day & night to take good

@sircok I am new here so I have lots of stuff to learn. I must say thanks for your comment, it was very insightful.

Get your steem power up way high, then you'll have loads of sycophants falling all over themselves to get you to upvote them.
Until you upvote yourself, then they'll scream bloody murder because you got the money from your vote instead of them.
Thanks for the advise and thanks for being polite about it. Most people around your steem power are not this polite, they are arrogant brats.
If I were willing to be one of those sycophants, I'm sure it would be higher. Lol.

Beavis- From Beavis and Butthead? Youve gotten fat! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! LOL
lol
YES!
I tossed you .02 for writing what all of us little guppies are thinking. :) Happy New Year!
Yes, it's a pain to watch people milking the system complain.
I wish I would reach 10$ per week!
thats also true
that'll right
thank you very much
Me too! I'm amazed at the amounts talk about in this article.
also i guess the figures are in SBD not in USD
You're not kidding, me too!!
haha, love it @gleek. I guess it all goes back to "it takes money to make money!"

As down to earth as it gets...but...we still love you :-)
Ha, nobody is more down to earth than me, and when you spend all your time down on the ground like that, you sure dont want any BS laying around near by :)
Lets say for fun you make $5 hr. 20 hrs x $5 = 200$ a day you are investing. get real.
Every human on earth has an equal allotment of day.
No money was required to do it.
Get real, no excuse you can make I haven't heard a thousand times, onboarding new members every day.
Sleeping 4 hours a day must make you really tired and cranky. There are only 24 hr a day on the planet earth. you spend 20 a day on steemit. Bad work life balance if you ask me. " I have a full time job, but still spend around 20 hours a day on steem related tasks."
