I hear this complaints from new steemians again and again

I want to grow my blog, but i just don't have the time

Most Steemians have Day jobs that keep them away during the day,most just drop in at night to post and engage with people

But what You really have to do is to sit and ask yourself what "I don't have enough time really means"

Most time Yoy have this feeling of scarcity when it comes to time, but the truth is that most times You never spend your time wisely

You always find your self conceeding the little time you have to various distractions like Youtube and Social Media

So you really need to ask yourself " Is my time scarce or Not"

I have found out that "I don't have time" is often a cloak for something else nagging at the back of Our minds

Uncertainty

You are not sure that if You make that post that it would get read or make the amount of SBD you desire

Quick Thought Experiment

Imagine if you were given an assurance that spending three hours on your Steemit blog everyday would bring you amazing returns

Or you were assure of Whale Upvotes for every post you make

Would you struggle to find those hours

I am definately sure that your calendar would amazingly become free and Scanty

But right now, everytime you sit in front of your computer, a zillion questions would be running through your mind

Is this the right headline

Is my post good enough

Are most of my followers online to see this post, or would it get lost in the Steemit Abyss

Certainty Is The Wrong Goal

Knowing the full result of an action before you take it is a very appealing notion

But there are very few things worth doing that comes with 100% guaranteed result

Even if you were given a full guide on building a blog, you will still experience uncertainity

Reputable steemians like @papa-pepper and dragonslayer109 give enough advice to grow your blog

Why do Steemians still experience uncertainty

Asking The Right Questions

Questions Like:

Who is my target audience?

What are their desires,goals ,fears and problems?

How will i be of value to them?

Finding the answers to this questions requires time and You feel that you don't have enough of time

The Number One Thing You Need

To get the answers to these questions, you need One thing

Motive

You need to find out why you are blogging in the first place

Now I know that the number one motive on steemit is to make money

But you have to keep that by side and find out how you can be of value to others, because when you find that out, that is when you get the money

Finding out the role you are playing in the development of this platform will be of great value to you

I for example welcome new users and give them a chance to earn something and interact with others through the Fifty word Story Contest for new Steemians

I also run weekly interviews that enable them learn from the Older Steemians

You have to gain absolute Clarity of what you can do to help on this platform

Doing so can bring you all what you desire and more

Maybe it means you can finally quit that job that takes a huge chunk of your time

Or it means visitng new countries while doing what you love like @sweetsssj

That's why. Your Motive. That thing that will enable you create time when you feel it is not available

So ignore those marks on your calendar and figure out your motive for blogging

Don't Worry _ Facebook and Twitter will still be there when you get back
