Steem Power and Patience: A strategic means to financial success
Many steemit members are in a state of bitter disappointment because of lack of making it like those that are featured on trending pages –even though most thought that they will make top money the 1st week they sign up on steemit. In reality, however, life is not all that rosy and steemit is not a get quick HYIP scheme – therefore, to succeed you should remove that mindset and aim to acquire that rare jam which can lead you to success at steemit. Here are some few points

Steem power: steem power is that tool that will change the playing field for you: the crème de la crème -if and only if you have patience and work hard towards it. Reason is that it gives you a big stake in the future of social media (steemit) , a big share in author rewards (upvoting your posts) , curation rewards (upvoting other people posts) , flagging scammers/ spammers and ability to make big money via delegating your steem power and or supporting a great cause through your upvotes or delegation. Moreover, you still get interest payments for holding steem power and help in adding value to the steem ecosystem-a win win for all. How do you acquire steem power? The easiest way is to buy steem and power up (if you have the money) and or blog smart on steemit , earn steem and power up your steem ( you can always power down some steem if you need the money ).
Patience: Patience is a great virtue to have if you want to succeed in life. Therefore, focus on the fun part of this great platform ( not trending and hot pages) , take out time , learn the way things are done here and build your followers through prudent commenting and engaging with steemit communities (avoid follow for follow or vote for vote scams), joining challenges and asking successful people questions. After building a good followers on steemit , then you start blogging on the topics you are good at (use relevant tages-5 max) . All these might take few weeks or months- however the good thing is that you will surely reach the promise land if you try.

Good point, thanks a lot for your good comments and more success to you
Hey @charles1 , this is helpful article to all newbies on this platform.
I would like to add a quote here , that may be helpful to bloggers on this platform;
Why You Should Upvote Comments!!!!
I've noticed alot of people doesnt reward their followers, and their commenters on here.
It's a shame.
When someone takes the time to not only read your post but to leave a comment. Even throwing your small vote their way does a lot of great things...
They are More Likely To Follow You
I'm not saying you should upvote every single comment you get. I try and look for those that I feel provide value to the post. When they see that you upvoted their comment and they will be rewarded as a result. This encourages them to follow you; Then you'll have a regular on your post!
You can grow your followers so that they can grow you;
If they choose to keep their Steem in their account, They may power it up. If you continuously are upvoting their great comments, then they will steadily grow overtime. Their vote will be worth even more, and they'll be able to upvote you, The upvotes you gave them helps them grow, so they have more power on the platform.
You posted the same complete comment on my former posts...pls stop spamming and save your reputation
great tip! I wasn't sure what up voting for comments did, but I agree that if someone has taken the time to read and comment on a good post the token of appreciation sounds helpful.
thanks. and for that I will upvote you too lol
Good point however it depends on the type of comments. When @gangas is copying and pasting the same comments in all posts (he did in my former post) then do not wonder why his/her reputation went down to 2 and will soon enter in the minus range if he/she does not stop spamming.
what ? people do that? ok...ill have to look out for that too.
Yes they do....they copy and paste the same comments 100´s of times inpeople posts to get upvotes..most make more money through comments than writing a post.
People do really underestimate the power of quality comments. Besides that I can generate up-vote from people who does not follow you and have decent Steem Power, it is a good way to build a healthy group of followers.
But it takes time, hard work and like you wrote: patience. But it have to genuine comments.
Very well said. However, it's tough to keep plugging at it day after day only to be ignored. Even relevant blogs seem to go by with no viewership, while a lot of superficial content gets a lot of traction.
I rather have 100 genuine followers than 1000 follow-you-follow-me followers. The first part is really interested and are open for interaction. The second groups in only interested in quantity. They just don't care if you post or not, and are only willing to up-vote if your post earn enough so that they can profit via the curation rewards!
I've only been here less than two months and I have the feeling that the followers I have are exctly the follow-you-follow-me type.
Oh well, I'll keep at it, let's see how it goes.
Thanks for making the distinction among followers.
Well said...I agree . More success to you

Hi charles..
Well written.. The big issue caused by people who take others to this platfrm.. They told them and represent it as it ll create a huge money in 1st month.. But its not true.. Hard work needed here.. I spent 6 or 7 hrs continuous here in reading then commenting and building good communication relations.. Its not easy not at all.. Everythinh took time to settle.. But its also true that newbies like me disappointed when they see their hard work of 6 or 7 hrs earn gew pennies but many other single pic containing posts earn hundreds.. I wrote a story in 5 hrs earned 50sbd and it was my good luck that it earned.. And another simple post of a 60rp steemian with a pic earned 100 plus sbd.. This thing frustrated me in start but after sometime it was fine.. Now i feeks better after analysis as all others those earning well were on the same stage as me.. Once i was frustrated and a steemian with 70 rp told me that in 1st 6 months he only earned 1sbd.. This thing have me courage and now i am happy here
once i was frustrated and a steemian with 70 rp told me that in 1st 6 months he only earned 1sbd.. This thing have me courage and now i am happy herethat is the truth!!!! many people earned pennies the 1st few months and gave up, later came back and learnt how things are done here...patience , hardwork and smart blogging plus almighty steem power are the keys...see my older posts for more tips.Ok thanx i ll see them surely
Hi Charles, thanks for the post . Yes, i totally agree with all you said . Tho, it's not easy for newbies like us but just as you said, we need to be patient and keep striving till we reach the desired goal.
For now, all I do is , simply comment on good articles. I'm also trying to double that by commenting more and also build relationships.
Thanks once again.
Welcome dearie. You are really starting well...which is shown on your reputation due to your good comments receiving some upvotes. More success to you.
Thank you for posting this article. My account was finally verified today after a long waiting period so this is my first actual comment on a post.
What worries me a little about steemit as a very new user is that it seems like there are far more content creators than consumers currently. This leads to a lot of people that “talk AT one another” promoting their own content in an effort to get noticed and increase their own power, which can make it easy for new users that have great content to get overlooked.
Hopefully this will change with increased mainstream platform adoption and more content consumers entering the space.
Either way, I am very excited about this platform and I hope it does well, and hopefully it will get easier for noob content creators to hit the ground running in the future.
