Lately, I've noticed many users on here. Many of them are asking the same questions; how do I start to make money on Steemit?

Now, it's important to view making money not as the purpose of Steemit, but simply as a reward for good content. Steemit is a social media network almost similar to Reddit, so having quality content is key.

Relevant Content Makes The Difference

Steemit, as it exists right now, it still a relatively small community. While it is expanding quickly, certain topics are simply a lot more popular than others. Popular topics include cryptocurrency, sports, and new technology. If you want to post about something else, check out the tag to see how active it is.

Quantity, Not Quality

Given the payouts, it can be tempting to go nuts, posting dozens of comments and posts every single day. I tried that once. Don't do it. It won't work, and it is absolutely exhausting.

Instead, focus on making a smaller number of high-quality posts and comments. Try to legitimately add some value with every post you make.

Tag It Right

Tags are difficult, but it's important to use both relevant and popular tags. If you use a tag that's dead, no one will see your post. So check first to make sure it's actually active (posts daily). On the other hand, make sure you use relevant tags. If not, it's possible no one will care.

It's Often A Game Of Chances

Sometimes, you'll make a post and it will go viral with resteems, comments, and upvotes. Other times, it will more or less fall on deaf ears and pass completely unnoticed. Pay attention to what posts do well, often longer posts that go into more depth.

However, sometimes it's just chance. Posts do well, posts don't do well and there isn't always a rhyme or rhythm to it. You just go with the flow and see what happens.
