I've earned +$2000 on Steemit... Let me teach you how?
#5 - Get Interactive 
This is a social information network and more often than not you're going to run into someone's opinion or comment on your post. Rather than just lurking behind your monitor as you would often do on other sites... Reach out to them! A big part of being successful on Steemit is building a fan base and creating users that not only like your content, but want to see more of it. Thanking people who comment on your post with praise and diffusing users that attack your content are key to success here.
#4 - Be Friendly and Accepting
Users from all walks of life, religion, race, gender and sexuality are on Steemit. Always be aware of this before you start posting hate speech or otherwise inappropriate things. Not only does being friendly have the benefit of people liking you but also makes people far more likely to support your content and posts. Causing a disturbance or harassing people isn't taken lightly in the community and it's best to be respectful of people.
#3 - Take Work Offered
Initially my illustrations were only done on my own posts. Honestly never figured people would actually contact me and ask me to do illustrations for their articles. Regardless on if you're a writer, illustrator, artist or just a 'regular old joe' there are all sorts of ways to get your work out there and seen by others. All sorts of secret writer and community collaborations have been started on Steemit and are free of charge, I highly suggest checking them out. Once your work is out there, you might get lucky and have people contacting you looking to commission your skills! You can find people to collaborate with on the steemit chat: https://steemit.chat
#2 - Support Those Around You
It can't be stressed enough how important it is to support the other authors and artists around you. Constructive criticism, upvoting and commenting can help catapult your average writer into something extraordinary when done right. Steemit is still a very new platform and we will see many of this and future generations best writers and artists born here.
#1 - Be Original
Original content is KING here on Steemit. When you bring something unique to the table people WILL take notice. Use Steemit as a platform to carry your voice and creativity to all sorts of people across the world! Knock offs and imitation don't do very well here... If you're looking to maximize your Steemit potential and be rewarded with massive payouts, You have to be Original!
#0 - BONUS Protip + FREE Proficon 
As an awesome bonus I've included this helpful Protip: Never give up!
(it was probably supposed to be #1 actually.... I should mention that)
Let's just forget about that mess up eh? Here, have a FREE Proficon to post!
(Just copy and past the link below anywhere on Steemit to make a Proficon)

@xapo @angelinaalba @steemitchat have flagged this because I nailed xapo for plagiarizing.
(stealing content and flagging falsely WILL hurt your reputation, shame on you)
Couldn't have said it better @klye! Good stuff man
Hopefully folks use this guide to go out into Steemit and Shine!
All in the attitude man. This is spot on

Nice one. Never give up and be original!
Don't spend it all in one shop!
Never give up is an important one and fits in every area of life.
Agreed johnny!
It's hard sometimes.. Just gotta keep on going!
Yup, it was hard on me today. I spent over a day writing a post that didn't do so well.. But I'm going to try to keep posting.
I'm sorry to hear your post didn't get the attention it deserved.
Glad to hear you're going to keep trying though man. Steem on!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank YOU for reading and the uptuck!
Not sure why, but I rather much enjoy your content.
Mhmm, a joint sounds greeaat, right about know.
Boom! Nailed it!
Thanks firepower! Hopefully people use this guide to go on and succeed!
I am a bit ignorant. What is the Proficon for?
Couldn't have said it better myself. I've been working on finding what makes me unique so I can make
Good way to look at it man! Wish you best of luck in finding who you are and writing about it!
Also, you can remove the flag from other's posts if you didnt mean to, and try to apologize for the flag, and they might stop flagging you back. A little goes a long way.
In this case I fully meant to.. they are just retaliation flagging.
Thank you for the Lifehacks!
Make sure to spread the word. :)
Cool post bro!
Thanks Acid! Much appreciate the support as always! :3
I saw many giving up. Who knows maybe the next day were their day they never will know
Hard to say for sure man. Keep on going is the key!
Exactly! Never give up
