Having an Account isn't enough, Blogging is the way of Life in Here
Steemit is a social community with a blogging platform; we all know that, but for some who had a blogging site before coming on board, apparently it's with little problem as they tend to adapt and flow into the community. Coming up with content is no new thing for them.
The problem of a newbie isn't just about adapting to the steemit community but also blogging in the sense of it. In here, it's not enough to create an account doing nothing and expecting reward someday...No, No, No....Just not going to work that way.
A great blogger actually blogs. Consistency is key here. A blogger writes a lot. No short cut about this, you need to be prolific. You need to put serious time into writing, editing, picking the perfect picture.... Persistence is of great importance.
Planning ahead is key. True to it, a times you may feel dry and clueless, but effective planning ensures you have a line of thought per time such that you have something to come up with.
Bloggers are learners. As important as the learning curve of steemit is, same is the learning curve of a blogger. Blogging is a long shot as such a lot of learning is needed. If you want to stay ahead in blogging, be curious, keep your brain active and keep learning.
Self starters. In here no one tells another to write, since that's the primary use case. So in here, you need to be self motivated. No one gives you deadlines, no preps, no.... Being a self starter means self motivation. It's not enough to have a good idea, you need to act on it.
What do you think is the most important trait of a top blogger? Do you think it's one of these, or something completely different?
Let's get the conversation going!!!

Welcome to steemit
Nicely said :-)
Thanks,
Good luck here
I'd say 3 important traits of a top blogger would be consistency, having an open mind & writing skills. I by the way, am open minded..... lol
SteemIT provides not only writers but good readers even to be a part of it and earn some valuable money. What better option would one want to do what they like the best and still earn.
This is one of the HOTTEST NETWORK IN TOWN!
I just hope people share onto this in the best way they can 👍🏻 Great read btw ❤️
I agree with both the original post and your reply! Not everyone is a great blogger, nor would we want them to be! Those who are blogging though will benefit greatly from putting in the effort and professionalism. Right now everyone is so busy producing their own content that I fear it's lessening the reading and interaction. Steemit will actually thrive when we have more dedicated readers, consumers, and fans. These fans can still benefit, as long as they're willing to comment and engage with others.
We also have options on the way that will enable people to post on the Steem blockchain in a form more like Instagram or Twitter, so we'll soon have a lot more options for rewarding content than just long form blogging.
Definitely the hottest up and coming network!
Wow, great point there you know. I've sincerely asked myself over and over if i'm actually becoming a better writer because more than the votes and all, i wish my content are read in depth rather than the superficial that comes most time
I too hope that the work instead of only INCREASING also becomes WORTHY enough for the readers and the users.
And i hope rhe blockchain has a speedy future towards great progress 🙂
Very good position.
Thank you by reading your articles. We learn things.
Follow my profile if you have the time.😊.
Thanks, glad it's helpful
I think the major key to succes as a blogger is to love what you do. And been consistent and persistent comes next.
The bitter truth is that steemit is no different from other blogging platforms. You have to write comment and associate with other bloggers to succed in the world of blogging
I think they key is providing quality content that you (as the blogger) actually care about. Consistent quality content that you are passionate about always wins.
Exactly. Very important to write what you are passionate about. Wrote something about some days back

If in my opinion, the most important for the top bloggers, he has intellectual, genius, work, high imagination, clever and wise. I believe here (steemit) we can share insights, share experiences and stories, even though we do not know each other, happy to share stories even though we do not live in one country.
Good post ! Yes blogging is work!
