RE: 5 myths of what it takes to succeed on Steem
I found the the best way to get started is to start commenting meaningful things on people's posts. I gained a few followers and got even a few bucks out of it, way more than I did at my first attempts of posting myself. I haven't had much time to check out the support groups and discords, but by whati've seen everyone is pretty supportive and you usually get helped right away.
I agree, commenting is probably the best thing. Long, well thought comments, are really appreciated.
Yep, I have had people being really reluctant someone actually read their post and ivesting in my comment although my vote is worth barely nothing. I'm very new to the site and like this post states, i don't expect to make a fortune overnight. It just seems more meaningful and productive than being on facebook or youtube all day like I had been doing.
or you can do this horrible thing

WTH, that is some way to make a living. Just pumping money out with self voting. never saw it so obviously executed. That's just taking advantage of the platform.
Worst part: it only takes ONE user with insane SP to make it work. Meaning, it's a very easy scam.
Definitely! If you have some average/great content as well, a lot of those who read your comments might turn into followers as well.
Yup, I am trying to get a small followers base and then start posting about stuff i like. I am not going to hop on the trends of crypto's and stuff that everyone likes, but try to create a niche, which is what this site needs, more diverse content.
That's great! I originally got here through my crypto research, but I really want this platform to evolve in other areas as well. When I first spent some time on Steemit (about a month before I made my account), it seemed to me that almost all posts were about Steemit itself. Luckily, the trends are changing and we're starting to see some great content creators from many fields here.
I really like how involved this makes everyone. In facebook or instagram you will have a ton of people look at something but not like it. There's no real incentive to say anything back to people on there. The fact that you can get paid, and gain some new friends and followers makes it much more fun.
I also agree with the importance of commenting. It also "forces" you into exploring more and seeing how things truly develop here!
Good commenting not only gives you few bucks but also a follower based and good reputation, it's advisable to make meaningful on any post you find interesting.
for shure. I want to be personally invested here now that I still can make a difference.
