This is great right article to learn something to be successful on Steemit.
Seth is is one of my favorite author and Linchpin is my favorite book.

The point i like in this article is that Persistence. If we follow shortcut techniques, then we can't be successful forever. We must do long term work. We must work hard without expecting big reward.

I am inspired by jerry benfield. He started real work, now he is earning Good money. And he who will follow shortcuts can't be like him can't earn like him.
