Some say steemit is easy. But in my opinion it's not. Especially for new ones.
Number 1 point is that they don't know what is the value of vote. Voting shold be done only to good articles. Beacause when you vote on a good article it will get promoted and others will also notice that. But they will vote if that article is good. Otherwise the article will not get popular and you will not gain curator rewards.
Number 2 is that they don't know when to post. If you don't have much followers you may not end earning much because no one would see you.
Number 3 is if that you should be cautious because what you have done here can not be undone or deleted. Everything is permanent here.
Number 4 you don't earn here instantly. Keep posting good articles and one day you will be noticed. Patience is must in this plateform.
Number 5 don't comment here and there. If there are already 100 comments who will notice you if you are a newbie.
Number 6 keep upvoting and commenting. Don't leave a single day empty. This will help you to make new friends who will follow your posts and upvote you.
7th and last point is that check your voting power don't let it down less than 60. Try to keep it at the maximum level.
And keep steeming.
Upvote if you like.
