Since I joined Steemit, I have posted something almost every day. There were actually a couple of 24-hour periods where I did not make a post, but I posted two things the next day, so the "net result" is a post every day. It is important, I think, to post on some sort of regular basis, once per week or whatever, if one wants a steady stream of income from the platform.

The "author rewards" is where the biggest chunk of cash will hit your wallet. The better your posts, the more money you will earn! However, there are several other avenues for increasing the rewards on your posts:

• Join the SteemitRamble server on Discord. Every Thursday, @shadowspub hosts two radio shows there where you can present one of your posts. This will bring more eyes to your work, and upvotes/comments, too! Of course, one should be considerate and upvote/comment some of the others' posts, but spreading the love is half the fun! A day or two after each radio show, the hostess compiles a recap "Curation Post" on Steemit, which will give you additional visibility. It's also a good way to "meet" other folk, and every show is both informative and entertaining!

• Join the Minnow Support Project. They have a website, a server on the Discord app, post-promotion channels, channels where you can get advice and tips, upvoting bots, MSP-Waves radio station with lots of informative and interesting shows, and a wonderful group of helpful people!

• Join one of the communities on Steemit such as healthy-home, #thealliance, #thewritersblock, #steemusa, #teamghana, or others. Just poke around a bit and you will find a community that will fit your needs!

• Besides the above-mentioned SteemitRamble, there are many more communities on the Discord app where you can meet other Steemians, learn & grow, and build community:

SteemitBloggers is a community of people who are serious about blogging
VO.TU = Voices Of The Underground educates people about crypto
TeamGirlPowa supports women and promotes gender equality
SteemitSugars seeks to bring more women to Steemit and crypto
iTestify supports Christian members of Steemit
TheDutyHut an international community of veterans
...and there are many, many more!
Keep your eyes open and join one that seems right for you!

• Join a "curation trail" such a Tpot

Remember that upvoting posts can earn additional income from what they call "curation" here. Sometimes, the rewards are small, but those pennies can accumulate to good rewards over time. Here is a snippet from my wallet yesterday:

11 hours ago Claim rewards: 0.009 SBD and 0.066 STEEM POWER
12 hours ago Claim rewards: 0.098 SBD and 0.031 STEEM POWER
13 hours ago Claim rewards: 0.774 SBD and 0.788 STEEM POWER

Adding up those figures:
• the SBD equals 0.881 — close to a dollar!
• the SteemPower is 0.885 — close to another whole SP!

So, in summation:

• Post regularly
• Compose quality posts
• Join a community
• Upvote others for curation rewards

Happy Steeming! 😊
