Are You Struggling to Find Your Blogging Cadence on Steemit?

Every day I have people tell me that they are going to get started on Steemit. As I say great, welcome aboard, in the back of my mind I know that their chance of success is tiny. Read my article "Pareto's Principle on Steemit". The thing is that blogging and especially successful blogging needs to be a habit.

What is a Habit?

How I Formed My Blogging Habit.

1. I made a commitment to write once a day, at a minimum, for a year.
2. I made a mental contract with my wife. Someone I am accountable to.
3. I set a goal of earning a certain amount of Steem.
4. I write even when I don't feel like it.
5. I constantly take mental notes of articles that I should write.
6. I am always on the look out for topics.
7. I find joy in it.

This is How I Look When I Blog. Passion is 90% of The Battle.

If Blogging is Not Your Passion Then Don't Do It.

1. If you are a photographer then share photo's. @Sunscape is a good example.
2. If you are an artist then share your art. @Opheliafu is a good example.
3. If Vlogging is your skill set then do that. @Exyle is a good example.

See we each have our skill sets but each of the people above have formed a habit of creating in the format that they enjoy.

Randy How Long Do You Commit to Each Blog Post?

This one took me 20 minutes. I could literally write 10 times a day but I also have a business to run. Once you form the habit it gets easier and easier to extract your ideas and put them into blog format. The key is to start. The next step is building a following and that folks is a whole other topic!
