being a newbie i will share my personal experience while keeping in mind these images
1:if you want money ,you have to work for it ,no one becomes rich overnight
same is the case with steemit if you want to succeed work hard and one day you will soon become a whale
2:there is already so much talk about spammers and how they beg for votes
we shoud rather be engaging and earn our rewards by posting quality comments and attract authors attention so that we will get rewards for our efforts
nice post,thanks for sharing ,please vote me ,these comments will not let you earn rewards longer

3 :steemit is a community where you will find too many good people
it is better to be engaging and helpfull to one another to make this community alot better
newbies need help to make a mark on steemit

4 steemit is known for original content .The more you post original here more you get rewarded.So while commenting or posting post original things ,dont copy, cheat,spam .Use your mind and express yourself

5 most important ,keep in mind steemit demands patience,no one can become a whale overnight ,it need making new friends ,engaging with others,posting consistantly and making a huge fan following.The important thing is Quality content which helps you to succeed quickly.
dont expect a single post will make you rich here ,keep patience
remember this quote

slow and steady wins the race
