You've seen Steemit all over the Net. You've seen others earning through it. You instantly got interested. You signed up and created an account. You excitedly wrote your first ever article. You had high hopes that a huge amount of money will soon come your way. You waited. And waited...and waited. Nothing was happening. Finally, after a few days, you got something in your Steemit wallet... Ping! $0.01. And then a frown on your face. The gold you were expecting turned into stone. You were disappointed...in yourself...but most especially, with Steemit. In an instant, you hated it and decided that it is just a waste of time using it--that it is a useless site.
Have you experienced this yourself? Have you felt the same way? Well, I hope not.
In today's modern technology, everybody is spending much of their time online. Most are getting hooked on social media, some are looking for ways to earn and have an income using the advantages of the Internet. And that's when Steemit enters the picture.
Steemit is a wonderful social site, if you were to ask me. A lot better than the other social sites I've tried. Aside from having a new social community to join with, you can share your hobbies, travel experiences, and whatever interests you have. You can also learn a lot from other Steemian's articles--be it in photography, politics, cryptocurrencies and the like. It is a great tool and very useful in terms of honing your blogging/writing skills. It is a good way of sharing your talents and showcasing your creativity. What's more, some may find Steemit a source of income. Kudos to the developers of Steemit!
But wait! Why are some people ranting about Steemit? The answer is simple.
Yes, Steemit may be a good way of having some money. But, if you want to get a regular income, don't rely solely on Steemit. Find a good paying job. If you want to get rich, work hard and work well. Yes too, Steemit can make some people earn huge amount of cash. However, please take note that such Steemians have already so many followers, wrote many blogs/articles...and by that, I mean well written articles and blogs. They deserve every upvote because they put their hearts on what they are writing. For sure, some of them use Steemit because they love writing, they are into blogging, and they like sharing their personal experiences...earning followers and dollars are just a bonus to them because they love what they are doing. Don't expect to earn much from Steemit just by joining it. Do your part, be a Steemian because you want to, because you love writing and sharing your skills, because you love what you do and that contents matter to you.
Readers and followers will know if you are sincere in every article that you write or you are only submitting a story for the sake of earning. So be a Steemian...be a genuine Steemian. Soon enough, without you knowing it, rewards will follow you.
