How I wish everyone opting for green pastures on Steemit will receive a few hours of training before attempting to open an account. Many people are in a situation of confusion, however some wrong mindsets are not off the real picture. You will make money on Steemit but you gonna work it out.
I am facing challenges opening an account what do I do?
Steemit account is on blockchain thus totally different from the normal account you are conversant with. If you have tried registering with a given phone or email before on steemit and you lost the password, you may not succeed with those contacts again.
Secondly, when you get the email to validate your account opening, on getting to the Steemit page, first of all copy and save the password generated and given by Steemit. If you fail to do so, you may not succeed.
What genre of article sells on Steemit?
All kinds of article do. you only choose a niche and become an authority there. On Steemit, you find all sorts of article and those behind them are making a living on it. Some people used the album approach when starting - you write on different topic and gradually zero down to one niche.
What makes my reputation to grow?
its a function of what you wrote and the number of people who commented and Upvoted it. For the growth of your reputation, you need that crowd following you and adding value to your posts. The more other Steemians Upvote you the better.
Is my time on Steemit equal to the income I will make?
Yes and No. It depends on what you do with your time and how you do it. For sure you need to be regular on Steemit. You read other peoples posts and comment intelligently. Once they acknowledge you contribution with an upvote or comment, your time spent is a plus.
How do I get fellow Steemians to comment and Upvote my posts.
Its a give and take thing to a great extent.
You need to have stayed on the platform for a while and do positive things for you to earn a large followership. Get a mentor to stand by your side and add value to others. If you comment and Upvote others a good number of them will come back to reward you. Also build others. Those you build will always fall back to your need.
