This is a very good post for the beginners that are just here for the sole purpose of "making money" here alone. That phrase "making money" is what most them have in mind instead of having the orientation of "Getting Paid." I picture these phrases differently and i will explain that.
Making Money; They have the feelings or orientation like steemit is a dumoing ground where they can come with all sort of blogging or materials just to come have money out of the system.
Getting Paid; They believe they have to work their ass up real hard before they could earn a penny. So those with this orientation tends to grow faster than the "making money" people.
They still don't understand that you can't take out of this system if you are not adding a value to it. For instance, you can only make a withrawal from your bank account if you have a savings in it alone, without savings in your account, you can't. I see steemit as a bank account where i have to make savings before i could say i want to withdraw out of it.
Most the new people i have around always compare themselves with those trending without considering swhen they started, their time and effort to the system or the dues they have paid before they could be trending too. Looking at some of your articlewhen you started too earned you no dime but likes and comment, yet your consistecy and determination got you this far. I think i would personally be telling all newnies now to start following first before anything because you always take your time to tutor newbies on how to grow without a ny hitch on this platform, i wish i had this opportunity earlier than this though

"Don’t spoil your blogs with banners or non relevant animated gifs."

This is one of the main reason why i have put a STOP on an unnecessary contest becaues it always require to RESTEEM and getting my blog littered with un informative post which will tend to drive my followers away. Yes contest are good though but not all contest are going to work to your long favour.

PLAGIARISM

These issue of "copy-copy"needs to STOP. I count it as stealing, you can't be reaping from what you didn't work for, which can't work here. They should seat their asses down and work is what i tell those i brought to the sytem and also advice them to desist from comment "nice post, nice picture, you are nice" because it makes them spammers and no author like spammers at all. Rather, good constructive message that would engage or strike a conversation bewteen them and the author.
Thank you for sharing, and these kind of messages are proofs that you are really adding to the development of the platform.
Please do have a wonderful weekend and my regards to your lovely family over there.
