You know as a small fish in a large pond, I've thought about this for some time now - how each of those votes even if they're minute in value, merely pennies at the start of your journey producing content on Steemit count for something.
When you seriously think about it, they really do!
Most of what I've gained here on Steemit have come from my comments on other people's posts, which you've heard me mention a dozen of times if you've been following my content here on the Steemit platform.
I'm all for posting content each day, but I think it's even more vital for us planktons and minnows to get out there and introduce ourselves to the crowd.
And I don't mean by vote begging, or the typical "follow for follow" bullshit.
What I do mean is to read some content that interests you, share your ideas, follow people who are where you want to be as far as reputation score and amount of followers.
See what works for them, ask questions, brainstorm ideas, really show some interest in others in the community.
Learn something new, or expand on your knowledge and create a well written post on that material. Surely there's got to be a topic that you truly love and feel passionate towards that you can write about until you've exhausted that niche.
Say for instance, I love learning about the divinatory arts, the occult, astrology and other "weird" taboo subjects.
I'm a fairly well read conspiracy buff and I know many others are as well.
Those topics could be potential years worth of material, even though I'm by no means an expert.
I have made a sort of hobby out of learning about these concepts and subjects so why not give it a go with introducing a series on the basics of astrology, getting started in cartomancy, how to create your own natal chart for free, or how to begin scrying? These are all ideas that I plan to write about in the near future and am taking my time in studying, writing rough drafts and constructing posts on my trust word processing software.
What I find most vital is that you've got your face out there each day, adding something to the Steemit blockchain and letting people know you're still active and a part of the community.
There's truly no pressure to write a long post each day but I see that it's been beneficial to me to write at least five posts per week, and comment genuine thought out ideas on material I've read.
Add some gif, or create some artwork of your own, visuals get more attention in the comment section.
Anything to stand out from the crowd is a plus.
Work your craft on improving your formatting in posts until you have it perfected. (I did this, after noticing how bland my first couple of posts looked. Back then, I knew very little about Markdown but found a few tutorials.)
It takes time and effort to learn, but in a year's time of consistently posting, you'll see the benefits of improving your writing by daily practice, and the value of remaining persistent.
Write about what you know and love,
and the writing won't seem at all like work.
You'll grow to love the experience along the way!
