@radarklaw I tried it one or two week ago maybe things changed this is purely my experience, and opinion
I just think that most of the guides here are not that honest(not talking about the steemit school)
a lot of people talking how they made 500 from one post, some mention that they did invest some are not.
I just got a feeling that everyone here is chasing after money and not for good content.
and this creates a situation where good content creators are crashed.
I just think if you creating good content people will follow you because of this and when you have a good audience the money will come by it self
You are right. I observed this too, almost everyone is after money. When I came onboard I expected to socialize, get connected, share ideas, and then money comes after all, but unfortunately, the majority don't care about whatever, it's money all the way from hellos to goodbyes. I only try as much as I can to stick to my interests and try as much as possible to satisfy myself with what I find. It's nice meeting you here @toresto
Steemit is not a sprint my friend but it's a marathon.
Don't give up too fast, learn each day, explore and discover lots more things
I have no intentions of giving up any time soon. That is why I am taking my time. I know that soon I will be advising beginners just the way you are trying to do here. I'm only wondering, if #steemit had life, it would definitely die from the pressures people mount on it on a daily. I mean if not for my mindset, I would say 'in just a couple of days I've been here, I need air already' ;-)
you too @radarklaw I so glad I am not the only who think that people of steemit forgot what this all about and they only focus on the money
Welcome to Steem Schools and learn about quality comments, posting ...
This is wrong, make marketing with a lot of comments - this is first step if you want to see rewards on your own posts,
This is a spam way of commenting, learn about profesional level of communication on Steem Schools.
one thing i can say for steem schools is that they try to teach people how to write good comments. now if you learn how to write a good comment but you do it professionally it could be one type of spam, quality spam :) but on the other hand if you learn to make quality comments and you do that for posts that you are in to then that is ok.
i joined steem schools discord group a week ago, listened to some live classes, followed some work, i am not active, some things that they do i support, some are not my cup of tea, and that is normal. i still don't want to look on steemit as a business, because i have my "regular work" and this is fun for me, but then i have to lover my expectations.
The money problem is in one part because everyone is promoting steemit as a platform on which (i always miss spell this as witch :) ) you can earn money, and most of the people go to steemit with that idea in their heads. i am not sure who said this to me but "you must look on whales like on the children of the rich parents, they will always have money with little effort :), so you must not let that frustrate you.
