Let's dive into the solutions to help you crank that SBD:

1. Staying Active on Steemit

---

Activity is the name of the game when it comes to earning SBD on Steemit.

Do not expect to earn when you are not putting forth the necessary effort to do so.

Practical steps to staying active include:

• Curating (upvoting) 5-10 posts per day

• Commenting on 5-10 posts per day

• Mentioning and shouting out other accounts inside your posts

It is best to complete these activities on posts / accounts that are inside of your niche.

For example...if you are into cooking, then upvote and comment on other cooking posts.

If you are into music, then upvote and comment on other music related posts.

The key is to stay active at least every other day on Steemit, if not every day.

Doing so will increase your chances of cranking that SBD, as well as gain you more active followers in the process...(score!)

2. Posting Quality Content on Steemit

---

What this basically means is...do not publish posts that you spent 2 minutes creating.

Instead, put some serious time and attention into your posts.

One thing I like to do before creating a piece of content is to ask myself this question:

How is this content going to serve my audience?

---

If you approach your content creation from that perspective, you will always win because you are putting others' well-being ahead of your own.

Even if it takes you 2 or 3 days to write a blog or shoot / edit a video, so be it.

It is better to spend a bit more time on a post to make it high-quality, than to put out a bunch of low-quality posts more frequently.

Make sure your photos are high-quality and full of color to grab people's attention.

A really great resource to edit your photos for your posts is called Canva.

3. Learning How to Market on Steemit

---

Marketing is a skill that you must master in order to gain exposure to your content once you post it.

The best way that I have found so far on Steemit, is to take advantage of the upvote bots.

Upvote bots are usually dolphin or whale accounts on Steemit that upvote posts after sending Steem or SBD to their wallet.

These bots can be found at SteemBotTracker.com

Although this may sound counter intuitive, to give up your SBD to a bot in order to get some back, it is actually an effective way to gain exposure on Steemit.

The more exposure your posts receive, the better chance you have of ranking on the trending page, therefore gaining you more upvotes, followers, and you guessed it...SBD!

Keep in mind, boosting your posts in this way will not work long-term if you are releasing low-quality content...so make sure it's worth the click.

4. Delegating Your Steem Power

---

A useful strategy that I have recently employed is called Delegation.

One of the many unique properties surrounding Steem, is the ability to loan out your Steem Power, in return for daily payouts.

For example, I currently delegate a portion of my Steem Power to a witness account called @jerrybanfield.

Each day, I get an automatic deposit into my wallet from this account, because I am contributing to his projects.

I therefore get rewarded each day as a result. The great thing about this strategy is that it is completely passive, and I earn SBD no matter what is going on in my life that day.

So delegation is powerful. The more Steem Power you delegate to an account, the higher the reward you will receive.

If you'd like to learn more about delegation, watch @jerrybanfield 's tutorial here on Dtube.

The last note I'd like to leave you with is this:

Don't get discouraged if you are putting in the effort, and still not seeing the results you want right away.

These things take time. Instead of acting depressed, turn that energy into enthusiasm for honing your craft and expanding your skill sets.

Remember, Rome was not built in a day. Keep at it, and you will see the fruits of your labor.
