The following is a reply to a hopeful, young Filipino lad's first post --

Welcome and Good Luck!
I believe the best ways for you to make money with Steemit, is to widen your goal to making money with crypto in general.
If you find someone with capital, you can help people invest in bitcoin, steem and other cryptocurrencies through localbitcoins.com, and take a fee that you split with the investor.
You can sell stores, restaurants, etc. on taking many cryptos, including Steem, with blockpay.com's free apps, and earn a recurring revenue stream.
You can hold steem/blockchain meetups and ask people you introduce to Steemit to give you a voluntary referral fee -- If they make 100 or more SBD's in their first 6 months, you get 10 percent, or whatever. In other words, you don't have to be a great blogger to do well in this new, #beyondbitcoin world.
I just realized I should post this reply as a separate post.
I'll split the SBD's of the first two payouts with Josh.
