How to become (quickly) a whale in STEEMIT? (And not drown in the attempt)

in #steemit6 years ago
  • Quickly? You really believe it? I'm sorry but it's not possible.
    Becoming a Whale or Whale in Steemit will not be easy (unless you have lots of money to invest and / or a bunch of Whales-friends to vote ... Whether you post quality content or shit, for that matter).

  • But, by the way, what does it mean to be a whale?
    In fact, there are different user level categories in Steemit: little fish (I'll remind you, Steemit, it's like a gigantic ocean), dolphins and whales. But in a few words, to be a whale you must have at least 100,000 Steem Power on the platform.

Do you still want to become a whale? Because good, 100,000 SP is great, but you have to work. Long time. And hard.

  • For a quick calculation, assuming you earn SP through the platform, without external help, you will have to work ...

  • Imagine winning, in 100% Steem Power, $ 10 per item. Of these $ 10, 75% goes to your wallet (and the other 25 are redistributed to the curators: those who have voted / commented). In 1 year, 365 days, having published every day, it will only have a value of $ 2737.5. And you will need + - 36 years for a publication per day that generates $ 10 to finally become a whale ... Hum ...

  • Without forgetting to be a model in his writing, in his words (comments) and in his actions (a whale that votes plagiarized content, or worse than plagiarism, is still the average). Become an example and grow every day to be better. Strive for excellence in every sense of the word.

And with the reputation and the portfolio that grew, the responsibilities come. We take care of the platform. We do not hesitate to mark ... trolls, plaggerers and thieves.

And do not forget to have the smile! We like positive people, here! We leave the little things behind the door, we act like adults.

But the real conclusion of this article is that becoming a whale will have a lease ... And honestly, do we have to be a whale to be happy? And that in Steemit, in the end, we do a bit the same as in Facebook / in our blogs, but they pay us. It's like magic.

But what ? Who said it was easy?

  • But one thing is certain, remember that all the whales of today are the little fish of yesterday. They were not better than you in the spelling, not even true bloggers and believe me, there are few who were already rich when they came to Steemit.

  • Tips and tricks to grow easily and in all honesty:

  • To become a whale (or even a dolphin), you'll have to arm yourself with patience. Except for an exception, we do not become a whale in one night (yes, I know you know someone who ... There are always exceptions!).
    At first, you'll have to find out about Steemit. What it is, what are the codes, the label, how to make yourself a place.
    You will have to deal with Understanding Steem, and that can take a lot of time. But it's important, I think, to go through that (and good news, I'll pre-chew some of the work).

  • Then, you will have to build your audience slowly, step by step, attract your followers, those for whom you will write and who will be ready to read you and thus be up.
    But you will also have to bother (yes, yes, that's the word) to create unique and quality content in Steem (every day or almost) and not be rewarded at its fair value. For the moment. Because yes, at the beginning it is difficult ... As everywhere, as in every project you undertake. At first, it is difficult, we do not know anyone, we try, we believe ... but it does not pay.

  • Do not forget that in Steemit, one of the important points is the community. Think how you can impact it, what can you give. Taking Steemit is not enough. In addition, this strategy will not work in the long term. Vote, comment, remain but above all participate with the community. Create friends, allies. And support the little ones like you.
    Do not forget to discover content that will sound before everyone else, you can also win with energy. This is called a Healing Reward.

  • It will also have to have consistency. Rome was not built in a day, your blog Steemit either; otherwise, it will look suspicious.
    As with all the projects we want to carry out in life, we need rigor and discipline. This is the routine that creates success because we repeat the same thing every day towards the same goal.

  • Do not forget that it is the seeds that have been planted every day, that you have to pay attention and not the harvest, because they will arrive much later. Think of Olympic athletes. They train months or even years to win. Do not give up before the slightest annoyance, the slightest difficulty. And if that scares you, it's good, it's that you're on the way.
    It will also increase your Steem Power on any occasion because it is the best way to increase your influence on Steemit.

Come on, let's light all our items! We believe in the platform!
