How do you manage to stay motivated day in and day out on Steem??

There may actually be sometime you may feel like giving up on Steemit most especially when you don't get rewarded for your effort after coming up with quality content on Steemit. There are also times whereby you feel like there aren't much users viewing your posts which in return earns you little upvote or none even though you deserve a very good quality upvote from people. The level of your frustration sometimes increases when you come across low quality content earning very high payout unlike yours in which the payout seems to be very low despite all your effort in coming up with such great quality posts.

Anyway these are the factors that mostly makes Steemians loose their motivation on the steem blockchain and I am sure the newbies with low SP can testify to this. There are two choices left which are "it's either they give up and leave Steemit" or "it's either they stay motivated and continue using Steemit". Most people tend to give up not knowing the later/second option is actually the best option for them.

I had actually been in the same condition back then before musing came to my rescue. I have written lots of quality articles free of plagiarism and I gain no reward or very little reward in return for my hard work on Steemit. I actually felt like giving up but I remembered that "consistency is the key to achieve great things on Steemit" just like @crypto.piotr will always say and this kept me going even till this very stage.

Another factor that keeps me consistent on the steem blockchain is the use of great rewarding Steemit dApps like musing. Musing is a decentralized question and answer platform built on steem blockchain where Steemit users can earn steemit tokens or rewards whenever they ask questions or provide quality answers to people questions. I have been making use of musing since last year even though I was part of Musing early adopters on the steem blockchain. I have actually gained lots of motivation by making use of Musing through the upvote I receive for my works using the dApp.

I suggest you start making use of great rewarding Steemit dApps too just like I do make use of Musing everyday because they reward you for your effort on the steem blockchain. Most Steemians are always making use of Steemit dApps to survive on the steem blockchain because they get rewarded from the dApp which keeps them motivated to keep utilizing Steemit everyday.

Lastly, I suggest you do what you love doing on Steemit. I actually love writing and I also love impacting people lives by answering their questions on Musing. This implies that I don't sometimes get tensed or dejected if I am not rewarded because "I am doing what I love doing". When you do what you love doing, the reward you earn will be like an addictive benefit for you which ignites you to do more. Also, if you don't get rewarded, you won't want to give up because it's not that easy to give up on what you love doing.

Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.
