There Is No Secret To Doing Well On Steemit, It's Actually Quite Simple
Add Value
Recently I've gotten questions regarding how to do well on Steemit. Many newer people want to know the "secret". There is no secret to doing well on Steemit and although there are a few factors that help, I only want to focus on one.
The common thread I'm noticing with many so called successful Steemians is that they are adding value to the platform or to the lives of many people. Now, there are so many different ways you can add value to the lives of other people. You have to ask yourself this question.
"What am I really fired up about that can also help someone?"
This is a simple question that I understand is hard for many to nail down. Think about your life experiences for example. You may have a pool of knowledge about what you've been through that can encourage or inspire someone else. I've shared many stories here about the difficulties in my own life. For me I know that if I can open up about these problems in my life there is someone who can relate or be helped by it.
Look, we all have something to give. Yes. Every last one of us. When we give we truly live. Focus on giving and you will have no problem connecting with other people. If you can just help one other person then you've made a difference. Everyone's success looks different so just focus on being yourself too.
Ideas To Add Value:
- If you enjoy fitness you can share with people how exercising can improve their cardiovascular health
- If you enjoy traveling you can talk about what you learned about a particular culture
- If you enjoy reading you can write about some books that have changed your life
- If you enjoy math you can teach people how to solve difficult problems
- If you enjoy talking about money management you can give people tips on how to use their money more wisely
These are only a handful of examples of things that can help people. What you need to remember is that your life is not just for you to enjoy. It is to be shared for the benefit of others as well.
