RE: Steemit Just Got Discussed on National Radio for Several Minutes
What people need to realize is that my success on Steemit wasn't "overnight". It came from 20 years of writing and being a public person... and writing nearly every day, and doing a video on Youtube nearly every day for the last few years. However, that said, you can have success on Steemit, but nothing in life is easy... you gotta work for it.
Roy Kroc (founder of MacDonalds hamburger chain) said in his autobiography called "Grinding it Out" that people said that he was an overnight success. And he said it was true. "It's just that the night was 20 years long!"
@dollarvigilante Great to see you here and actually commenting on individual users' posts. I feel like more whales and dolphins need to look at the little guys " the minnows" and even look into their blogs, not just the occasional comments. Up votes on blogs is very important, as that is going to be the majority of posts. Again, it's been an awesome 3 days or so since you arrived Jeff. I believe that once you see and understand more of the mechanics of STEEM as I am, you will see this as the next financial revolution.
Full $teem Ahead!
@streetstyle
Agreed. Even one click on a minnows post will motivate them to keep with it and tell their friends. If they toil for weeks for pennies they will lose motivation to stay. It's not just about getting more people here, but keeping those that are here already.
@doctorstrange I notice that I will up vote a post, comment but the action will not be reciprocated. Or they will just up vote the comment made within there own post, but will not venture further into a commentators blog. I appreciate any up vote, but more meaningful are up votes in blogs/post or even just "shout outs' by the whales would be so motivating. I think that will change with time, but I believe the whales should pay attention to this. This would definitely create more inspiration, a buzz and loyalty. On that note @doctorstrange, see if you find anything Here Thanks.
Full $teem Ahead!
@streetstyle
That is totally true. Behind every "overnight success", there are years or even decades of hard work which most people do not know about. Holds true for businessmen, athletes, actors etc etc..preach it - "nothing in life is easy... you gotta work for it."
People find way too much problems with others, when in fact they themselves are the problem.
yes you are right there my friend, its all about the work we put in !! Well done keep on pushing upwards and onwards !! ; - )
Wow just watched the video and these guys are clueless about Steem. I noticed you offered to do an interview with them and talk about Steem. Amazing thanks for your support the Steem community really needs others like you!
I fully agree. I gave myself the rule to only post stuff that I have lived through...
And when I feel I am not an expert but rather an enthusiast, I try to state it clearly....
This is the nature of humans. They saw you made 15.000 $ on a post, and you where only introduceing yourself. Most of them have no idea why. They dont understand that you made this money becouse you can help promoting STEEMIT in manny ways. They dont understand that you made this money becouse STEEIMIT users appreciates you for your work. I recomand you to ignore them. If you made that money it means you are appreciated for what you do and for who you are. And remeber guys, you must have braind to make easy money. Not everyone can do this.
They also don't understand this new paradigm. They don't understand that money was not taken out of their pockets, or their taxes forcefully paid. They don't fully understand that everyone that does well goes up in power and now has a chance to result in the people they vote on making more money too.
They cling to envy (though they will not acknowledge it... it is someone else's fault) and try to compare this new paradigm to things from the past. There has never been anything like this.
There is also a fair amount of cognitive dissonance at play.
Good point !
@dollarvigilante, please do not feel the need to defend your success. Your hard work is being noticed and that is as it should be in a healthy economy. Moreover, as it is clear to everyone with two eyes that you are actively involved contributing your experience and network to the growth of Steemit. People here should not question your contributions specific value but thank you for the effort. My kudos to you sir and keep up the hard work. Full $teem Ahead!!
Exactly, there is no free lunch here.
Girls make money with their beauty, boys need to work hard for the money.
@holzmichl, that's a generalization if there ever was one. Some "girls" may make money for their looks, no doubt about it. But I am making money because my content is good and different. It's all about how valuable your post is perceived to be. If you believe that success for women depends on their breasts and come hither looks, I suggest you read more than what's on the trending page.
