"Won't Stop... Can't Stop... Will Never Ever Stop" ~ Charles Fuchs
Here is deal guys, I just wanted to post something real quick just to let you all know it's "Time To Put The Work In"...Β So what does that really mean?Β
When the price of Steemit was going up last month, I seen so many new people excited, pumped up, and enthusiastic about the platform. ππΌ
They were asking things like... How do I get my blogs seen, How do I get more followers, How do I build Relationships, How do I "blah, blah, blah" π...Β
It was kinda getting "noisy" to "stand out from the crowd" with all the new people rushing into Steemit wanting a "piece of the action".Β π°
As we seen the price drop with all other major cryptocurrencies, things have slowed down a little and I've some people being less active... this is the worse thing a person can do.Β π€¦πΌββοΈπ€¦π½ββοΈ
... now is the best "TIME" to go even harder than ever before as many "took a back seat" and waiting for things to get better. π΄
Successful people don't wait for things to happen; they make it happen.
You see... if you want to get "Known" in the Steemit community and get your blogs/read, you have to first get the attention of the masses.Β
It's much easier to get recognized when everyone is just "chillin" on the side lines.
Many don't agree with me on this but I'm fine with that...Β π€·πΌββοΈ
All I know is that when the excitement comes back to Steemit, the ones who were consistent, built relationships, and put in the work... will win at the end of the day. π₯π
... and all the people who didn't do anything will have all the same questions when they first started.. asking why people are not reading their blogs.Β π€
In my opinion, you haven't seen anything yet... within 6-12 months, it's going to be 10X harder to build a following of people who are going to follow you.
Hope this helps people get a better perspective on what to do and start taking major action... Β
Have an awesome MONDAY! π€£ππ

No back seat for me, I'm sitting in the FRONT!!
STEEM ON!!
I hope you are doing well my friend, keep up the good work Gringa!
I thought of you this weekend, there is a Mexican place a couple miles west of my house and it had a big sign out front talking about their Gringa Breakfast, LOL
I smiled and thought of you.
Oh, I love it that you thought of me, how nice.
Also when I see chocolate more these days also LOL
@gringalicious Your food makes me want to eat all day!
Aww, how nice of you to say @awarenessraiser
You are a good roll model for the steemit community @gringalicious! Mad Respect! π
Buy LOW, Sell HIGH π€
I heard you do the opposite of that π
I have taken notice of your support and posts and votes etc all over here and social media in general -- I think you are going to do big things man
Big Tings!!!
--
(:
My mannn @barrydutton... I got you on my radar π, going to add ya on my fav tab... appreciate all you do on steemit. BOSS! π
You are such an encouragement to so many, you are a good community person.
Thanks for the kind words from the beginning -- that always has stuck with me.
Hey Charles, how do I "blah, blah, blah" ???
This is better @tastetwist lol
@stackin lol
Agree as Steemit grows it will be more important to grow relationships with other Steemit users - Steem on Bro you and me whales one day
All I know is that's it's going be way harder in the future, build now and they will come π
That's the straight truth man. I've been getting up in the morning and making my first post and then posting several times a day every single day...... being consistent for months now. If it slows down and the money ain't there I still post. If it picks up and I'm making lots of money...... I still post. If it gets to the point where there isn't even any money I'm still going to post because I know eventually it's going to lead me down the right road and I'm going to keep on walking and building myself.
That's the type of "Action" I like to see... the type of mindset with a winner attitude ππΌ
Fuck I LOOOOOVE THIS! I hadn't posted for 3 days cuz I was away and I was like WTF am I doing! I think I'm lowkey addicted to Steemit because I seriously love being on here! @stackin
Where you been jk jk ... it just takes a good 15 minutes in a day to post up something useful. π¬ππ
Definitely a good reminder. Sometimes my posts slow down a bit when I'm working on a Steemit-related project, but I love to share info about the project and get some extra street cred that way.
I've been pleased with the amount of votes I've been getting, as well as the quality of my growing network. I bear this in mind when I see a payout that's 1/3 of what it would have been a month ago. This is a bump in the road and it needs to be seen through the right lens. Don't let me catch anyone looking at this slowdown under a microscope, look at the big picture y'all...
Go and collaborate with someone. Sell your services for SBD instead of paypal. Even donate your talent if you can manage it. Every move we're making on here is like a mini-commercial for ourselves and given time, these positive impressions can have a huge impact.
@stackin, I'm at a crossroads now and I'm throwing fuel on the fire of my regular business - working with an innovative start-up and getting qualified business coaching. I want to put the same sincere effort into SteemIt, even if I have to tone it down a little - to manage the juggling act.
If you remember, the first time I hopped on SteemIt, you told me I was going to go far. I intend to live up to those words. Struggling, stumbling, slipping, sliding, even failing my way forward, buddy!
Take care guy!
@overkillcoin - nice animation. I like it.
Take it @choogirl lol
:D
That is always a good thing! You totally have all the right idea about creating services or other things for some SBD.
Even though it looks like the numbers are dropping, that is totally fine with me as I know each SBD and steem power I get will 3-10X down the road :)
Mad respect, STEEEEEM ROLLIN LOL
I got some more SP last night :D
Hey I'd love to check out your facebook group!
Great points @stackin! And this really is an encouraging post! It can be easy to get discouraged at times like this. Thank you! :)
When people feel discouragement... all they have to do is come to my profile and comment haha π¬ππ
Lol thanks! :)
Getting it done man! One day at a time. Be big everyday, with no downtime if you want to be on top. Making noise like it's your job! :)
I don't even know what sleep means anymore haha
Sleep?!? Huh? people who sleep are crazy LOL
Way to go Charles! You have the kind of encouraging attitude we need and you are right! Time to GET IN!!!
Spreading that motivation π€ππΌ
I totally agree with you ;)
I was just traveling for 10 days (that's why I didn't post), but the price drop definitely won't stop me from posting :)
I kinda like it when it's a little slow, we can "stand out" from the rest. π€π
yeah true :)
Indeed it's the best time to be as active as possible and to put in the hard work. It's definitely going to be harder to be seen as time passes. We are the early birds :D
I was posting like "crazy" last month with tons of noise and it was hard as hell... now it's easier and I see people doing less smh smh π
You always keep it real and post at the right time. Is it luck, is it being at the right place at the right time, or is it you are always prepared for when the opportunity arrives? Like you said, you don't wait for it, you chase it! People that are discouraged should remember the whales and dolphins of today. They are who they are because they stuck it out. high five steemit buddy, we are in it to win!
I try @kubbyelizabeth LOL ... It's both actually. Love the optimism, Lets go :)
I wonder how many comments/request I will need before I qualify to join your leadership team!
Yup, you're right bro. Gotta put in that work now so you can capitalize on the investment of your work.
Appreshhh @geechidan! Fellow Vigilanti ππΌ
"now is the best "TIME" to go even harder than ever before as many "took a back seat" and waiting for things to get better. "
You got it. Those who keep it up during the downtrends will be seen as the devoted ones later. Some of the more well known personalities here on Steemit have been ragged on pretty hard for disappearing when prices got low....(ahem, DV...just what I heard).
That what I heard from many... they all took off when times were slow but then came back and got a lashing haha
Totally agree! While people wait for things to "get better" others like us are still making good content and rocking it. Shape the world, don't let the world shape you
"shape the world, don't let the world shape you" I'm going to use that phrase from now on lol πͺπΌ
Being italian I some times come up with some sayings I personally believe make sense π Glad you liked this one. See you around Stackin!
Don't worry, I'll be around π¬π
Fuch'n awesome advice, Charles.
Don't ever forget that!
A quote to live by everyday... Fuch'n awesome lol
Good to see it didn't go over everyone's head haha!
Exactly.
Yes we have to put in the work now. Keep blogging, keep commenting even if you see no money or low money. Yes, I agree it will be harder when more prosperous times come and the masses rush in and you been relaxing all this time. Don't wait, push forward now.
I totally respect this :)
Agreed. When they run, we work. Easy Peazy formula that won't fail.
When in the bad times, we need to double-down, if not then triple-down on our efforts, multiply our results! Awesome quick post. Very relevant.
I mentioned you in my latest post a few minutes ago my dude. Appreciation time. Let's go.
I'm doing some split action, doubling down and hitting on everything LOL
I can never understand why 97% of people jump from one thing to the next trying to make a quick buck instead of just putting in the work. This is exactly what makes people successful or not. Total commitment and busting your butt while things look not so great. Get id done ladies and gents
It's kinda funny, the 97% who jump into anything new, usually fail worse than before. Thats why they fail all the time lol
The best thing that could happen is for some of the goldrushers to drop off. It is so hard to find quality content to read because there is so many bad posts. When I post, in a matter of minutes it gets buried never to been seen again it seems.
They are already dropping off but I see the people who quit do what they usually do, quit lol. All I know is that its a good time to get known, write great content and build as much steem one can :)
This is it Charles; don't get caught up in appearances, outcomes or the getting. GIVE like a beast and you shall feast :) Feel free to quote me on that LOL. Great message!
Too bad no one gives it back LOL
The thing that has most struck me, and think has had the most effect is that posters are no longer either answering or upvoting comments, this is really necessary, you see someone like me wants to raise level, for that I need more REP and the only way to get that is through votes or comments, so I think everyone should either comment or upvote, if you have the slide rule it doesn't matter if you just use 1% that is a great help, and if you don't have the slide ruel a reply comment is ok, nothing extensive, just acknowledge you read the comment, that would go a long way in helping people to become more active here.
I seen so many people who never invested anything but started publishing great content are becoming power players. They started at the same time I did and they are killing it.
The only reason why I seen them win was because they just kept putting out great content and became part of the steemit community, they are even doing better than I am :)
Wow, you right on that. Let' s keep working and make it happen.
I'm right there with ya π
try to message you on facebook, but it says at times my steemit bandwidth is down and need to power up, how do I do this
I'll hit you up tonight Bossman!
It will be a bumpy ride as cryptocurrencies are very volatile. That wont stop me from posting, I make sure that I have 1 post per day, no matter what. The following is really important.
You the man @vallesleoruther... I been here for like 50 days, I think i only missed like 2-3 days but I was setting up my facebook steemit page lol
That really is great, wow just 2 days. There are some days that I cannot really think of anything to post. That is the number one problem for me right now. Just keep on steeming and stackin!
Thanks. Little bit at a time. I'm working it!
Baby Steps πΆπ
You are right. Whether good or bad, we will forget ahead. No retreat, no surrender.
That's the truth! ππΌ
"In my opinion, you haven't seen anything yet... within 6-12 months, it's going to be 10X harder to build a following of people who are going to follow you."
I should upvote that a week ago
All I can see is that thousands are signing up weekly... the time is now π―
great tips man. It's just like with buying/selling stuff like stocks/crypto.... when there's a lot of people talking about it, it's usually a good time to sell... when no one is talking about it... time to buy.
Keeping the discipline of consistency usually leads to results! Keep killin it man
Apppresh boss! π
also, just requested to join the fb community :)
It is very true. The longer the platform lives the harder to be heard. building now is so important.
Just send me your reputation score :)
Those rep scores get tough to build. It took a long time for me to get from 65 to 66. It is exponentially harder to get to the next number. That is why when you see these people at 73 or 74 it is pretty crazy.
Great post mate
ππΌ
Good times Bad times you just need to keep on pushing harder every single moment! Great advice as usual bro!
Cheers
@progressivechef
When people are saying its bad times... it's actually a great time for me to get more steem and get well known while people are waiting for things to happen haha
Great post! Kept me reading and enthused the whole time :)
Get pumped ππͺπΌππΌπ―
@stackin I agree with you entirely. Your enthusiasm is driving me forward in this struggle for greatness.
It's time to 10X hustle :)
One good thing this platform does is drive me to want to write more. I love writing, I am not particularly good at it but I love it. Hopefully adopting the '10X hustle' approach will allow me to get better. π
Cant agree more !!
You better haha jk jk :)
The grind never stops on steemit at this early stage.
This is the best opportunity anyone could have if they want to grow on steem so they have to put the effort in now before it is too late and it becomes even harder to grown on this platform.
Thanks for your motivational words @stackin!
This is an awesome opportunity in my eyes... This is the best time now to obtain free Streem just by posting and commenting :)
hold it fella's
HODL and BUY LOL
Totally agreed! Is it the shiny ball syndrome....or...is it the "just hand me it" syndrome (ie, this is too hard...I spent a week on it and I'm not getting results..). It's all good, though. Separates the people who are here to stay, versus the "fly by day'ers"!
I agree with you - consistency, persistency, and keep your eyes looking ahead!
(I'm hoping this turtle eventually makes it up the slide!)
Love the turtle GIF haha
Appreciate the pep-talk. Thanks!
4th quarter pep talk action πππΌ
This post received a 2.3% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @stackin! For more information, click here!
I'm new to Steem and I'm pushing thru !!!
"Keep On Stackin" π¬π
I won't go anywhere now! I am a proud and happy steamean and I am here to stay. Let's keep creating and living the life. β€
I couldn't even said it better :)
You probably could but you are awesome and choose
Yeah, although I'm struggling so real, I'm still holding on. Thanks for the encouragement.π
No Problem @junvebbei, just remember there are more people who are struggling worse than you, at least you are putting in some effort :)
Get busy! Full Steem ahead! =)
I'm ready for some steem action lol
Show us your stuff!
That was fantastic advice. Be seen when everyone else is sitting on the sidelines.
Don't want to be a sidelines dude haha
Exactly!!! I've been feeling the same way. If theres a time to go hard at it, its now. The rewards may be significantly lower but the amount of SP were getting per post is much better now than its ever been in the month Ive been here.
So right... once they go back to $2.00, all my steem double :)
Yup! Dont ever stop the grind. Every little bit counts.
super good post mate can you check my post also it is unique filipino food :)
