Today, is the first day when I've studied the statistics from www.steemd.com I Did not care too much about my statistics in the last 5 days since I am using Steemit!
My surprise was that looking deeper I’ve discovered myself a Superuser! I’ve passed the 1M VESTS level.
I’m happy!
It is not just about the money, but because I’m Asking myself: "Where in the world would I make over 1000$ for creating content as a beginner?" And I also know the answer: "Nowhere!"
Imagine! I’m one of the 1680 people in this world that reached this level and I am practically competing with other xxxxxx people!
How did I did It?
By working hard!
I will not link the stories that made this possible here because I want you to read all this story faster. You will find everything if you browse trough my blog.
I prefer to talk more about something much more important:
The Implication
From the start I want you to know that I’ve never had a blog and I’ve never ever produced original web content like this until I’ve discovered Steemit. And that happened 5 days ago!
My only advantage is that I love the crypto world from 2014 when I first bought and learned how to use Bitcoin.
Seeing Steemit made me adapt quickly and use all my time and effort to learn fast everything about this community! I’ve realized the great potential and converted from being a watcher in being an active user!
My First Contact with Steemit
I was chatting in THE DAO slack when one guy linked a Steemit article. It was something about how great this platform will be in the future!
The first thing I did was to browse it and to do a minimal search about it. In 2 hours my Steemit account was up because I just wanted to promote my website! This is why my username is my website name!
I'm now sorry for that! I was thinking that I will sell here DAO T-Shirts. Me, stupid!
But after more reading and reading, I joined the STEEM slack, Interacted with people and then I changed my mind and said “You dumb, you can not sell DAO T-shirt for the Steemit Community! You should sell a Steemit T-shirt here.”
Ok! I’ve put all the things up to be able to sell that Steemit T-shirt model (created the design, created the product on my site) and I was ready to promote it on Slack. To test it!
After knowing a bit better “my new potential market”, using slack, I decided not to sell it but to create my first Give away T-shirt Story on Steemit!!! What a ride! From trying to sell something to giveaway!
The start was A MESS because at that time I didn’t understood how Steemit was working. The idea was not so bad but was bad applied.
What was I doing wrong?
Everything! From the concept to result! Too much marketing, bad, bad understanding about what people are looking for etc and etc
But seeing that it is possible to get votes even with that bad concept made me next 2 days drinking around 20 cups of coffee and resulted in 2 full nights of Steemit study, testing, chatting and better understanding.
Stay relaxed. I’m not yet an expert! I’m still learning! That will never end if I want to do something better.
But If you are here I guess you will kindly read my:
Friendly Superuser Tips:
-Publish just original content and be sincere and optimistic.
-If you are expert in something, tell people about that. If not, test the waters with your posts!
-Most of the Vests come from your activity (comment, vote, authoring) Do it all!
-Everything you do, doit in your style, don’t copy others!
Thanks for reading,
Gigi
