The biggest motivation on Steemit: Caring

People start things that seem fun to them. Take Steemit, a lot of people are attracted to it, but at least 30% of all the new people will quit. They think it’s all fun and easy and free money. But that doesn’t keep you motivated. The good things don’t come easy! In the blogpost I will go deeper into the art of motivation and caring on Steemit.

All you need to have is ONE single person that cares

It’s manageable to have one person

Everyone sets goals for themselves. Perhaps your goal is getting 500+ followers or hitting that mark of $100+ on a post. Or perhaps a certain amount of likes. But if this is your goal, you will crash and be demotivated to go further in the long run.

But what can keep you motivated? Well you have to find that one person that really cares. That read your blogposts, comments on them and makes you feel appreciated. That’s doable right? Just 1 person instead of 50. Well, in fact it’s harder than you think. You have to connect on so many levels with each other and have that real click. But you will get there for sure!

One person, One success, A lot of motivation

It’s true. When one person really cares about something you write or do, it’s really motivating. You’ve managed to write about something that has touched someone and can go forward with that knowledge. It’s someone you don’t know in real life, but believes in you and what you do.

When you f*ck up, when you fail or just don’t see it happen anymore and want to walk away, you can look back on that one time, that one person that made the difference for the both of you and think back about that ‘win’.

I truly believe that the biggest reason people quit is that they think nobody cares and is gonna care anymore. They think that if they stop with it, no one will notice and they will fade away.

“The motivation to get more than one person to care comes from that one person. It’s your motivating force and that will push you further.

Your posts won’t be in vain

The thing that’s always on your mind when you write about something is that when you put it online, nobody will respond. You will lose that motivation when you don’t get a real care from someone and you just wait.

I had that same problem. My voice was getting lost in the empty void and nobody really cared. I found my muse, not yet on Steemit but in real life. The one that motivates me to keep blogging, to share knowledge and one day someone will care.

If people didn’t respond or upvoted my post, my reaction would be to delete it. I just hated it and wanted to erase it. Why did no one liked it? My first posts here managed to get $0,04. While I was driven by money when I started, I realised this isn’t a good motivation. The people are!

You can ask for feedback

Feedback is one of the most important things we need while blogging. You can think its great but someone else will point out the flaws. You are in your own world when you write and tend to forget stuff. Honest feedback will help you get better. Just imagine how much you can learn from others!
