Over the last 3 months I have learnt that to earn Steem you must buy Steem first. Read on to learn why I say that.
When you get started and you have no Steem at all you will earn almost nothing from posting. You will get very few upvotes and when you get upvotes it will be from dust and minnows like yourself.
You then decide to invest in some Steem and buy $100 or $200 worth of Steem. You will see better results because now you automatically attract other Steemians who have 100 to 200 Steem.
After another month or so you invest more and increase your Steem to 1000. Now you are making $2 to $5 posts and start to buy upvotes to increase your rewards even more. At the same time you start to make friends on Steemit with 1000’s of Steem like yourself. They give you upvotes and your income increases even more.
This is normal behaviour we see in humans, I think. People with 1000 Steem will relate and hangout with other people with 1000 Steem. The upvote and upvote % will also be the same. A whale will not give a minnow a 100% upvote. A whale will save his 100% upvotes for his Whale friends.
So the bottom line is… if you want to earn more Steem you need to invest more Steem.
Do you agree or disagree?

Hello mate! Nice thoughts, I still have a question though. How do other people know how much Steem you have?
@adriatik You just check their wallets. :)
I cited you in one of my blog post ! Feel free to come see it and comment :

Thank you very much for that @adriatik :)
Good information thanks for this!
It might work. I never chose follows based upon how much steem they have. Some people might. I more just write and the people I read a lot or interact with a lot I follow, regardless of how much steem they have.
However, I'm not going to discourage buying steem and this might indeed work to attract people who are not like me.
Cheers Colin
Another tip would be to try and load up with the up-votes in the first 30 minutes. Firstly, you take more of the curation rewards this way, and secondly you could 'boost' yourself into hot or trending.

Hi @abh12345, You are correct. I think I should change this tip. :)
Good chance to do an updated 'new' blog :D
Fantastic work
to be honest I don't think you need to invest any steem. I have already about 80SP and i didnt buy any. I earned every one from my post. just make a good quality post and buy upvotes. also read about shadowbot and PAL network.
Great stuff @mattuk. That is very good. I still think it will do you good to invest in some Steem from fiat money of bitcoin
I also agree with you I made almost $60 and withdrawn $30 , without putting in any money.
Great stuff @janus27. Great work done.
Hi Colin. Thanks for sharing this info. I do have a question though "is this worth the effort of investing real money into?" I'm a minnow who want to swallow a whale or two.
Hi @anemotionhd, you need to believe in the success of Steemit and Steem to invet real money. I do, so a invested some money and will look to invest more with spare cash. Just be aware of the risks and that this is still an experiment.

It will make sense when your upvote are worth more. :)
They need to 'cap' the blog at some point to pay out the writer and all the curators. Would you pick a different time-frame for this?
