RE: If you're new to steem or steemit and you aren't making HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS yet -- let me explain why...
I love your post! thanks! I had been blogging in the past and built a 12000 followers in my facebook fan page. Unfortunately, I just discovered Steemit a week ago! hahahaha But I'm positive this can also work here, and much better.
Following you! :)
Excellent. As I mentioned in another comment somewhere here... everyone who shows up with a comment, I'll make an effort to visit their blogs and if they're good I'll be following you too soon... and maybe even resteeming posts... so this could really work out. :) Glad you found steemit.
Hi - just me - showing up
Thanks for the inspiring article, all goods points. do you think focusing on one area like cryptocurrency is better? starting out I've just been writing about many unrelated topics that i'm interested in and see what works!
Primarily yes. All the time, no. Your primary audience will be interested in one particular topic. If you vary too often and too frequently, you will lose your primary audience I think..
..but occasionally feel free to deviate once in awhile to mix things up. Just not too often is my recommendation.
cool. thanks for the quick reply and the advice!
Hey I wanted to let you know that what you are doing here is a good idea. ;P
Wow... You can even make money on a comment... Way to go... You have 16 votes on your comment... That should give people a heads up... Anyway, if you have time, feel free to visit my place and read a Post or Two...

Now you know that followers in facebook are useless. If you have that followers in steemit, wow, you will be greatly rewarded.
Totally agree!!! Facebook has this funny algorythms that once you have more than 10000 followers, your posts are no longer so visible to them, unless you pay to promote them.
Hopefully this is not happening here ! :)
There's no way steemit will be asking for fee. In fact, its the opposite. Steemit is giving us what facebook could not give.
That's one of the reasons why we love it, init? :)
@omwith consider inviting your Fb fans. Some people who bring in their own crowd become whales over night. Best of luck to you!
...that's a great idea!
I was on facebook for years, and I kept getting unfollowed for saying things that were true, but which people didn't like. Now I'm on Steemit, and I keep getting more followers, and getting paid for saying the very same things. Have you ever had one of those realisations that you've been hanging around with the wrong crowd, simply by virtue of having met them because they live close to you?
This is so AWESOME! I have the same thoughts about FB, and especially when those old time "school mates" came around after years of no contact asking to follow and be followed because some digital online algorithm connected us using our personal data. Thanks for your comment @anarcotech Glad to have found Steemit!
I totally agree with you! It seems to me that since in Facebook we keep family, friends and other acquaintances, we tend to be politically correct most of the times, and not always express our opinions as they are.
And yes, I also had this experience as you describe it! I think this is the challenge, in general, letting go of the things and people (or in this case, the social media!) that do not fit into our current values or interests.
Funnily enough, i often found it challenging to be politically correct. I actually think i've probably got more in common with steemians ive never met than some of my old faceschmuck friends.
I left Facebook 18 months ago when they started removing anything politically incorrect, or news stories they didn't want seen that I had posted...
Yeap! Their double moral is quite incomprehensible...!
I'm certainly with you regarding facebook. Just in the process of leaving/exchanging contact details with friends on there. I even felt compelled to write a poem about it! (random I know). https://steemit.com/poetry/@perceptualflaws/goodbye-facebook-an-original-poem
Haha this is spot on! I am now following as I like hearing home truths about the world. I will probably agree with most of them.
you lucky being :p ...you should say "fortunately"
