Hello and welcome to a new day friends.Trust you are fine.The journey to and sojourn in Steemit has made me to meet a lot of people both in and outside the country.

Ordinarily,I wouldn't have known some bright and intelligent minds if not for Steemit.I am happy I joined.I would be happy to see more people join.

Joining Steemit is one thing.Making effort to post and engage is another thing.I hope I am not wrong.Sometimes we have a lot of members on Steemit,but only a few make posts;others are just inactive,they barely make a post.What could be the reason????

Now to the meat of the matter.I have noticed that some of our members here in Aba and a few other cities are not posting anymore.My beam is on Aba city though.

I tried to find out from some of them in Aba via text messages and a few calls.I got these feedback.

REASONS/EXCUSES I GOT

1.TIME

•Some complained that they barely have time within the day.They are always busy with their work and businesses.As such,the wasn't a chance to post on Steemit.

∆My response:It is humans that create time.If you want to do anything.You can always create time for it.
You can devote one hour at night to make a post or atleast comment on other steemians post.
Every human being both rich and poor has 24hrs in a day.So squeeze out time to make a post on steemit.Forward ever; backward never.

2.LACK OF VOTES

Thats another excuse I got.Some complained that they rarely get upvotes on their post from @steemcurator01 or other heavy curators.

∆My response:There is no pact or agreement that all our posts must be voted.No business guarantees 100% profit all the time.
The key is to continue posting with or without votes...@steemcurator will always give you a catch up vote if he observes that you are always posting and commenting.
However,if you are impatient and did not post anymore,when @steemcurator01 comes There would be nothing to vote.He will definitely vote nothing.So the key is constant posting.

3.SICKNESS

Another reason why some stopped posting is ill- health.Some steemians are sick and as such are unable to post.
For example..@ninapenda had a mouth surgery.She has been in pain and as such is not in a good state of health and mind to post.

∆My response:I encouraged her to get well soon.She was pleased to see that a fellow steemian cared in her trying times.I hope her absence on Steemit will soon end.She is getting better but needs funds.I wish a post could be made for her support.

4.BAD/POOR DEVICE

Another reason.A few steemians do not have good smart phone.It is clear that posting on Steemit requires an internet enabled device with a good RAM rating.Some complained that their phone spoilt or it's no longer a smart phone.

∆My response:You can use your siblings or friends phone for an hour to make a post.
You can still save up some money to get a smart for Steemit.

@marydexplorer said that she is writing exams and other school activities is culpable for her absence.

CONCLUSION

The result I got by reaching out to inactive steemians are the above reasons.I tried to encourage them especially @paraclator26 @alisabae @omeakufarms @marydexplorer @ninapenda

They assured me that they would be active soonest.I am hopeful.

Special thanks to @steemcurator01 @steemcurator02 @focusnow @ngoenyi @bright-obias @whitestallion @steemalive for your untiring effort to sustain and promote Steemit.

Sort:  

Lack of upvotes is really an issue, it should be looked into. Upvote is the motivating factor in steemit. Most people are here to make money.

You are right @maggystar
Post Atleast once in two days.Then make like 5 comments daily.

One day,you will see surprise votes.

Sometimes I don't get votes from @steemcurator01 or @steemcurator02 but I will still Continue posting.It pains sometimes.

Persistence is the key

This article is great and encouraging especially to those who fail to realise that you start small and grow big. I hope readers that are inactive come across this to boost their spirit.

Thanks for sharing @samuel20.

@iamlynxie You are most welcome bro

@samuel20, yes you are right.
It is one thing to sign up on steemit, it is quite another thing to be active.
So many persons always has excuses why they can't be active, but I think those excuses are not really enough, if they put their minds to work out something.
Thanks for your continuous work to see that steemians in your city gets active, keep it up.
Best regards

Thank you @talktofaith we hope all steemians in Nigeria get active soonest.

Activity and engagement is the way forward.I appreciate your effort in the Lagos city.Kudos.

Steem on!!!

Very interesting article. It's nice of you to reach out to others. Their points are valid though. One can be so stressed up at work that he/she is too tired to even think. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
