Can a steemian succeed here on steemit without writting about cryptocurrency and using upvote bots?

There is a buzz going on in the platform recently.
It seems you have to be a cryptocurrency analyst and also make use of upvote bots before anyone can succeed here on steemit!

I actually thought steemit is a platform a where everyone get paid for curating and creating content.

But i noticed that even though you are a great writter you hardly get noticed here.

What is the way forward here on steemit? Keep a Noob informed.

Exposure is the most vital thing. Be active and publish a great deal of articles or making comments is usually the best options. Comments are often a little bit easier, as it doesn't take as much time writing comments compared to an article.

I've seen great things from you, especially amongst the comments on my own articles. Which is why I will delegate 100 SP to you in the near future.

Keep up the good work!

Wow, so happy you found something great in me, thanks for the encouragement as always, i will be persistent and active as much as i can! Thanks for the gift in advance😀
Am going to read the blog right away!

You're welcome, in advance!

Just continue to be you. You're doing good things, and I know it can be a painful experience on Steemit. Which is why you became one of my "chosen ones". :)

Not only crytocurrency ,there alot oftopics you can write here youjust need to make it real an attractive,you will naturally get upvotes ,its not a day ting. Just be persistent

Thanks

From what I can see though, there is a strategy for monetising this ... I've been reading articles and watching vids about how people have worked out how to do it - it seems to have a lot to do with steem power as opposed to steem dollars or the actual crypto 'steem' itself. There are efficient and inefficient ways to increase your upvoting power, and curation rewards, and some people have discovered these and are actively using strategies to increase their authority which in turn leads to payoffs on the site. It's really interesting stuff.

So, it might be more of a mixture of understanding the fundamentals of how steemit really works as well as good content rather than just crypto-based content. Maybe it's a bit misleading - maybe the crypto people have just better understood how the system works (in some cases) so they're the ones who have worked out how to get more upvotes and how to use steem power to get there, and that's why their posts seem to be doing so well. Maybe it's not the content but the strategy. Yeah, that could actually make some sense...

I found this one interesting: https://steemit.com/steemit/@orionschariot/why-holding-steem-power-might-be-the-best-long-term-investment-of-your-lifetime#@tomwest/re-orionschariot-why-holding-steem-power-might-be-the-best-long-term-investment-of-your-lifetime-20180125t011243107z

and this one was a good basic explanation of the steemit system: (you might already know all this...)
