RE: Why people are leaving Steemit?
I wrote a post about 6 mindset every steemian should have and I think those kind of mindsets are what all steemian needs. The 1st mindset is never expect big bucks when you are still a minnow. How can you expect to earn and be noticed quickly when you only wrote few posts? And how can you expect others to view or comment to your post when you are not even doing it yourself? Don't expect just because you upvoted, commented, resteem, and follow others they will do the same. All of us have unique preferences. You may be able to catch their attention if you leave genuine and valuable comment on their post. When you are so desperate for upvotes surely people will run away from you.
Let us go back to the 1st mindset I'm talking about. Never expect big bucks when you are still a minnow/a newbie. This applies to anything that you do online. How can you expect to earn more when you don't even invest some time understanding the platform and how it really works?
When you are a blogger at wordpress or similar platform you will never have any readers no matter how good you are if you do not know how to drive traffic to your site. You need to work hard for AT LEAST 6 months before earning a few cents to some dollars. Others even takes a year or so.
If you know who your audience are and you are putting your heart and soul in your writings, and you know how to build strong connections to other people, in no time people will start to notice you, follow you, and read every post you make. People appreciates a content when they can feel and see that the person writing this article puts all her love and passion on every article that she had written.
Proper mindsets will help you succeed. Whining is the main ingredient to failure.
