Is this another post on Steemit about Steemit itself, it's system and users?
Like we are not enough with that, Steemit seems to be a topic that cannot be drained. I am pleased to see that some people who started as simple bloggers actually started to earn some serious money here after a long struggle to get the attention of other more powerful users. I don't even need to mention the waves of new users coming every day, hoping for success and being optimists about the price of Steem and everything around Steemit.
But it seems that it is not easy to get more than 7-8 upvotes if you are new user and you can get stuck in 0.07$ for a very long time.
That can frustrate the user and, if the one is an idiot, he actually believes that Steemit can make him rich over night. Well, it happened to very few people and it is better not to think about it.
Lately, I noticed that the most of new users post only entries to different contests and challenges.
Well, it is great that they have the opportunity to compete, but you can't make it here only by making entries for contests because these posts are not real posts and can be categorized as the shitposts. Since many claim that any original content can't be shitposting only because it is someone's original work, I wouldn't make the judgement about what is considered as a shitpost and what isn't.
But the point is, no matter about your talents, nobody will notice you if you only post entries for photo contests, meme contests, etc. It' OK to have something to write about or when you can push your awesome photo as some entry for something, but it is much easier when you have good foundations as a Steemit blogger. So I think it's time for many of you to start write a blog.
It can be problem to find what to write about.
Many users have their niche, that's a little bit easier blogging, especially if your niche is wide and inexhaustible. There are complex niches, simple niches, but I think that everyone can find himself somewhere. Photography, nature, travel, cooking... these are all awesome topics for making your Steemit foundations.
If you think that you have an interesting life story or interesting way of thinking, you can make it here with no niche at all, just be honest and write from your heart.
Steemit is not just about the luck and the catching someone's attention. Much of it depends on your hard work. But much of it also doesn't.
So you moved from so called "shitposts" to real blogging and you gave so much efforts to do it, but it seems that it didn't get the results you hoped for. Do not get discouraged, that's how it goes around, but if you make proper blog posts, there are much bigger chances that you will be noticed than if you post only contest entries.
