Most of us know why did we start Steemit, but do we all know what's our purpose here and what our goals are? It's best to start by yourself so I'll tell you my side.
I've started Steemit because I've seen on my friend's example that you can earn money writing any content you want and I liked that type of freedom to share my thoughts and opinion. Steemit literally gives possibility to people to read and reward my idea and my content.
Steemit, as a platform and community, is 90% business and 10% of social network. Despite the majority of Steemit consits of business, warmth and respect of people I'm surrounded with, especially from Balkan Steemit Alliance with @ivan.atman on the top and initiative of @dobartim with his @steemitschool, attracted me the most.
I liked how everyone here is spreading positivity and are so helpful, I'd never imagine. Most of people here revealed and shared their tricks and "secrets" about better progress and gave me motivation to write better and better.
I'd say to all that are here exclusively because of money, it's wrong approach and you will easily lose motivation when you see your few posts with low price on it.
Write from your heart. Post about stuff what you love, in which you have an interest.
"Only the energy of love has power to launch a wave of support."
You have to set your aim, your goal, what will you do when you achieve your goal(s).
But first of all, I warmly suggest you to determine what you goal is?
The key question is: Why are you here and why are you doing this?
Let that inspiration and love to the content you're typing take you away and carry you on the wings of success. Have clear vision and with enthusiasm and faith build your future and ideals.
And never forget to carry your emotion with you, always.
We all know that feeling of release and pleasure at the moment we're done with a post in which we invested our time and effort. Without an emotion there's rarely the top content, believe me, and the pleasure without the effort is not the same. That's what should be your inner initiator, a smoldering fire in you.
Sometimes the material reward on the post won't be as nice as you thought it will be, that happened to me many times. But that's okay! You've built yourself, your brain processed information and the brain is muscle as every other. So you have to build it too to be strong :)
Life is such that many times, even though you have been struggling, but dedication & discipline without giving up is the only way and the only stairs to the top and success! Believe in yourself!
Although, when writing a post, try to evoke an emotion in your potential reader and try to inspire the audience. That's the key. Of course, it's not possible every time, neither I do that every time, but people can notice a real effort and good effort always points out.
Do what you love and for your soul and you'll be rewarded - maybe not always material, but that what's inside means much more. Bring together the right people around you with a real content.
Go explore things and be active. Learn new stuff.
For the and I'll tell you my goals in few lines and why I'm here on Steemit:
I'm a student of IT design and I want to start learning 3D modelling and animation, but that requires a bit better hardware (PC). I've already started something in Cinema 4D and Adobe Maya but just at college and a bit at home of Sony Vegas Pro (video editing software)
To improve myself and to educate, better than wasting time online.
To improve my English and my mother tongue both vocabulary and grammar. That will surely help me in further development, business and communication.
It's also nice to hang out with all these people on Steemit and meet new people.
In the end, to help my parents financially. However, after all the years it would be nice return the part to someone who gave you everything in their life 💚
