As a beginner on Steemit, you may find yourself in a bad mood because your posts did not get many upvotes or views. After you spend time on Steemit and get use to writing and socializing you will begin to enjoy the community here and will love your time spent writing and commenting. In this post I will share some things that may help you maintain a sense of comfort while you are writing on Steemit.
1. Improve Your Intentions
Your intentions for writing can be either good or bad. If you are writing on Steemit to become rich and famous you may not have the best intentions for being a good member of the community. You have to be a consistent writer and an active member of the community. If you are focused on yourself and trying to impress others you may not succeed in getting views. You need to prioritize producing good quality writing as well as socializing with others on the site. Having the goal to become rich and famous is full of uncertainty. Instead focus on being a productive member of the Steemit community through high quality posts and comments.
2. Reinforce Reasons Why You Want To Write On Steemit?
Why do you want to be a writer on Steemit? You need to determine your purpose for being here, and discover your own unique topics that you want to write about. Write about topics you are passionate about and fond of discussing. You will enjoy your time here much better if you like the posts you write. By determining why you visit Steemit everyday you can discover reasons to love writing and meeting new members of the community.
3. Avoid Criticizing Yourself
If you don’t get many upvotes or views in the beginning you shouldn’t be angry with yourself. You should criticize your writing skills or efforts. It’s hard to be new and it takes time to make friends and build steem power.
Your goal as a new writer is to product high quality content that others will be interested in reading. If you put yourself down for not getting views that is not good for your self-esteem. Don’t worry about numbers in the beginning. Focus on improving your writing and being an active member of the community. In time you will be more successful if you work hard in the beginning.
Remember, as a beginning Steemit can be hard and intimidating. Be persistent and work hard. In time you will be successful if you dedicate yourself to being a good writer and commenter.
Thanks I am new on here and it can be a bit disheartening when you spend hours on what you think is a quality post only for no one to be interested. I look at it as practice though - how could i improve next time ?
I agree that focussing on writing about what you enjoy will generate best content and user experience
That idea of looking at it as practice is a good thought to keep in mind.
Thanks for this post! As a newbie, I find it really encouraging.
Thanks for the encouraging post!
Thank you for great encouragement. You set a good example.
