Forget Impressing Whales Impress the small fishes first.

Some of people are disappointed that there posts aren't making a lot of money. But you have to understand Steemit is not about making money its about creating a platform you and your friends can share content online and stay in touch. If your main reason is to catch a whale than you probably in the wrong place anyways.

You focus should be to attract people that share your interest and you can communicate with, not trying to catch a whale. When you start to understand this you will have much more fun on this platform. I never heard anyone complaining on Facebook or Instagram being disappointed about that someone i don't know didn't like my post. You should be concerned about your friends and your close environment being interested in you and not some stranger.

This platform isn't about being Up voted by strangers this platform is about being upvoted by the community that builds around because they like your content. This kind of community will build over time and not from one moment to another. When you think oh i invest 3 hrs of my time in a post and I will make 1000$ than you don't understand what it means to build a community. Fortunatly each of your posts will make over 1000$ but this takes a lot of time and effort you need to build your own community that follows and likes you. Every journey starts with a small step and the little fishes are your peers.

Forget about everyone. Impress yourself first. Only then will others follow.

This x100

nice article IMO.... thanks

I think just being yourself is the best thing to do and say. The people who like what you say will upvote it. If people don't then that's not too bad. Either way you'll attract the right crowd.

And let's not forget that you'll be paid for it too.

If you want to earn well from this platform, create something and train to become good journalist/writer. Look at something like The New York Times, or one of your favourite bloggers - think Mr Money moustache for inspiration. Find your style. Find your mojo. And practice. You're not going to get a better platform than this to go for it.
