Blogging / Vlogging Smart: A better strategy to making it on steemit and online

in #new6 years ago (edited)

Many people start blogging and or Vlogging online ( Steemit, Youtube, Dtube etc) with the false belief of making thousands of money daily due to some are making it (trending / hot pages junkies), however (if you are among them) have you asked yourself how those people started ? What are their success strategies including their success and failure stories? Moreover, most of the successful people failed many times, accepted their mistakes and changed trajectory by being smart on what they do. Here are some few points:

Smart Vs Hard work: You can work 18 hours a day without sleep and still fail if you do not work smart. In fact most of the successful people focus on their core-competences and build followers by appealing to the economic and or social realities of people, engaging with those people through replying to their comments and or personal chats. Moreover, you cannot force success by spamming a platform with hundreds of copy and paste comments (follow for follow, upvote for upvote for examples) and or useless / low quality posts (plagiarized) with many different accounts, hoping to succeed like those people making it online. Reality is that you will surely fail with such strategy because it is not a smart strategy (quality plus engagement pays more than quantity)

Jack Of all Trades: Are you a jack of all trades? If so then you can end up to be master of none because you cannot do all at the same time. Therefore, concentrate on where you are good at and build followers / contacts. Furthermore, blogging smart relates to removing greed and being patient -knowing that you can never make it so big in the 1st 3 months (unless you are a star or have large amount of money to buy steem power and or you have large followers in other social media platform whom are ready to support you). Put succinctly, 1st learn how things are done here from successful people before you start blogging full time.

This is really what I need to succeed here...amazing post indeed. No need for quantity rather smart blogging plus quality , patience and great communication with followers...upped. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome and thanks a lot for your fast and great comment

As a newbie I appreciate blogs that offer advise on how to do better on this platform. I also Like to see content providers that respond and engage their followers. You do that, thank you. I can't follow too many people, and even some I like I give up on as they never respond.

Yeah some of those are the typical too big for you or the ones that are the like for like and disappear...but I suppose keep communicating cause one day someone may just say something back ;)

Welcome, it is always good to see people who learn well and smart. I wish you success

Oh for sure!! Smart blogging has its learning curves and in time something has to give lol. The idea of getting rich quick is an old tale that has never worked and never will. Thank you for the info and encouragement.

You are welcome my dear @nomadicwonders , keep steeming to more success.

@charles1 I enjoy learning from wise posts like yours. So much more refreshing than my feed over at fb lol that are filled with political lameness and useless information. lol ok I will keep steeming :)

True said Sir @charles1
Working for 18 hours but no smart work initiated failure is guaranteed but working for 1 hours a day with smart work initiated success is promised.
And at the end of the day Nobody can be a jack of all trade like a commerce student cannot study science and arts at the same time so Do what you are good at .... Awesome post sir truly inspired ...

Welcome and am sure that you will be a big success here because you learn smart!!!

This is food for thought, this worth resteemed and upvote. Is very important to post a content that will have positive impact to the reader., I agree concentrates in your area of specialization.

Thanks and keep steeming to more success

Great advice - I've seen quite a few people say that "they came here for the money and ended up staying for the community".

The money won't be enough to get most people's fire started at least in the first three months as you mention - but the good thing is that you can practice and hone your skills, find your niche and find like-minded people whilst you build your following.

I am enjoying the journey (about 1 month in) and I'm learning a ton from your posts. Cheers!

Welcome bud and am sure that you will be a big success here. Success to you.

@charles1 thank you for this
