It's really hard to work on this kind of platform "Steemit", but it's harder when you have to decide that you're giving up just a few weeks or even months due to less earning and realizing that you're just wasting you're time.
I will show how hard this platform was.
First thing, after finishing signing up in this platform you have to gain more followers or should I say Traffic.
That's the hardest thing, not unless you have a friend that have godlike followers for that he/she can help you gaining more followers for only a short period of time, so if don't have it you have to please people to follow you, not just literally pleasing them like you're damn kid asking for a piece of candy to an old man. "I've seen so many of it here" keep saying
Upvoted and followed you, please follow me back. Or check my account if you have extra time.
Well, My time is gold, if you need my time give me gold. (Lol, just kidding)
But i admit, I've done that before but I realized that it's not really working to this platform, and thanks for the help of some friends here. I've learned alot of information about how it really goes.
Friendly reminders to all newbies and just signed up to steemit and these are the things i've learned to them, just want to share with you.
Don't force anyone to upvote,resteem and follow you, let them decide of what they will supposed to do, if your content/post are really good and awesome then you can have it all without asking it.
Now that your done for your traffic let's talk about earnings,
There are two(2) ways to earn here, actually there are so many ways but these two(2) are the main and easiest way;
- Earn via author rewards or be an author of your post content.
- Earn via curation rewards or be a curators of someones content or post.
Be an author
To be an author, you should have a better content/post that is made by your own thoughts or should i say build your own Copywrite content, you don't have to copy and post the content of other specially the contents that earned unstoppable you can have your own post by searching on google but be careful someone is watching you, the steemit community and cleaners those are bots that scanning someones post with have a similarities to others, that's why you really needs to post an original content.
Be a Curators or earn curation rewards.
This is the easiest way of earning as i observed, to earn curations rewards you have to give an Upvote to someone's post that might be interesting, why?
- simple, curation rewards is a percentage of the total earnings of someones post, it runs about 25-30% of the total earnings.
For example:
If the total earnings of the author will be $1,000+ then you have upvoted it together with the 99 upvoters. The curation reward will be around $250-300, and that was divided on the numbers of upvoters including you.
Well then $250 divide into 100 upvoters, that would be $2.50, their you have it. You've just earned it without doing anything.
That's how you earn in this platform "Steemit", a users friendly community that paid lots of $$$ just by doing some post.
