RE: "Come In And Get Rich" - Myth And Reality About Steemit's Identity

in #growth-ideas7 years ago

There are people who make thousands for their private blog posts. It doesn't mean that I would make the same if I start my own blog. Same goes to Steemit. But I guess people are too greedy to realize that.
I had quite a monetary success from the first day here, but there were days when I posted 4 articles (I wrote them so, despite the fact if they are good or bad, it took me a massive amount of efforts) and got 0. I kept going and today I earn some money from my posts. Not a fortune, but it is still nice.
That said, Steemit doesn't give away free money. You still have to write to earn it and it is harder than it can look from the first glimpse at the platform. Not to mention all the power sharing problems, insider votes trading, beta glitches, and stuff like that. Like any other job, it has its own pros and cons. Sadly, there is no such thing as free money.

Sort:  

no such thing as free money.

I think investing in cryptocurrency and playing the waiting game is money trees :D
Feels like free money to me ^_^

In a way. But it still takes a lot of nerves and patience... And you have to constantly follow the markets and news. It like a normal job when you start thinking this way. But yeah, the salary from cryptos is way better than anywhere else.

Absolutely! You know what: my steemit account is worth around 10K now. Guess how much money I invested into the platform...? :-)) ZERO.
However it's not FREE money. If I counted the hours invested into my blog, there wouldn't remain any positive revenue... But hey, it's amusement!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, @writingamigo! I think all of us have gone through these stages. My very best friend @knircky introduced me to steemit in July 2016. I didn't earn any money in the beginnings, however I kept going. There are days like the ones that you mention when you spend hours working on a blog post which makes less than $1 in the end.
The key is to keep going.

Steemit doesn't give away free money.

That's it! However, many people out there do believe that. And that's their reason to join. They should be informed better... Some of them are now :-)
