Hello @shaporan1,

You want money for free pouring into your pocket.
There are many others like you joining Steemit for the same reason.

But Steemit was not created for the sake of getting free money pouring into your pocket. Steemit was created as a place where people can enjoy sharing ideas and make friends and be happy with that.

And just like other social media, Steemit has to work. Someone has to pay for the computers and the programmers that have to be there to keep the show running. Facebook works by getting paid for advertisements by big companies. Steemit works in a different way. Steemit works by having it's own currency, STEEM, which gets it's value by being a useful currency in the open market and by paying for it's servers to be run with STEEM instead of dollars paid for ads.

Steemit also encourages people to join and to keep on sharing nice ideas and to trade things here and to write good quality articles for other people to benefit by and to enjoy, by rewarding people bringing good things that bring happiness here with Steem.

The more other people like or value and enjoy a post, the more up-votes the producer of the post gets and accordingly more STEEM.

As you have clearly cottoned on, there are loopholes in the way Steemit platform is constructed that make it possible to do just what you have in mind, that is, get money for free, without working for it..."follow me, I follow you", "upvote me, I upvote you"...also voting bots, etcetera.

But those loopholes were not created for the sake of making free money - those loopholes are there for a different reason: those loopholes are not meant to be loopholes, they are actually methods by which members of this community can support one another in promoting good ideas and good friendships.

But some people see them as loopholes for getting free money just pouring in without them earning it, and they mis-use these methods as loopholes. This works against the idea of people working to share nice and good things and to be happy doing it. And people who just want to be happy sharing their ideas and building friendships will burn people who just want to suck out the rewards without earning it.

Just sucking out rewards without taking any trouble to help make Steemit a happy community boils down to making other people unhappy by stealing the rewards that are there in the first place to make everybody happy.

I hope this comment will help you and other newcomers see what Steemit is really about and will help you to be a happy member of this community too.

Tnx but plz tell how can i get more followr and upvote and also plz follow..me.

Dear @shahporan1, if you post something that other people find really interesting, they will follow you to see more interesting things that you may post. If they like what they see in your post, they may also upvote your post. The easiest posts to start off with is to place a photo every day of something that is beautiful for you where you live and maybe just say where you took the photograph. I don't say it will work, but who knows, maybe someone will also find beautiful what is beautiful for you.
