People Who Started With Nothing And Made It Big on Steemit - For Newcomers
![getlargeimage.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWVWTjqoshq9BbSj2hsyUeL8WQT1PwHfmKDmoYbnw8xVM/getlargeimage.png)

I've been reading my comments and I am amazed by how many people are new to steemit. Because of this, I decided to change my content strategy a little bit and cater more to the demand of those who need direction at the beginning of their quest.

**I have a special request at the end of this article**, for those who can help me, I will give a generous upvote in the comment section.

## Welcome Newcomers! 

For those of you who have been here for less than a month, let me extend a big WELCOME to you. Steemit is fascinating and can be difficult to grasp at time for some people. It's a completely different approach to social media...one where you can actually make a lot of money **by producing value for other members**. 

I will take for granted that you have read the [Welcome Page](https://steemit.com/welcome). Most if not all the technical questions you have can be answered there. What I am about to share with you is what I think you should be doing to make the most out of your experience here.

## First - Define Why You Are Here

So why are you here? Are you here just to have a place to write? Are you here to build a large following? Are you here to make money enough to have a retirement fund?

Your aim will define the type of activity you should engage in. I will take for granted in this post that you are here to maximize the amount of visibility and income you can make on steemit.

## Second - Establish Your Core Competence

As I said above, **you are paid on steemit for providing value**...not necessarily for writing content. Content is a vehicle for value. 

So don't get caught in the dream that if you spend 2 hours writing a piece of content, no matter how great it is, without a following, without SteemPower and without connections that it will go to the moon...it won't. 

**Find out in what way you could serve other people, make friends and add value.**

## Casestudies:

#### @lemouth: 

I didn't coach or said anything to my brother in law about how to go about building his account. At the moment he has accumulate 13,736 SteemPower and he is partially responsable of a project that has 26,000 SteemPower to curate content related to STEM.

How did he do it? 

He is a scientist...a really good one. What he did was first to find other people like him. He found other scientists who were a part of his niche. Then he created a project with them called @SteemStem which is a "Community Project to Promote Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics Postings on Steemit". Then he kept writing about his particular topic. His community supports him as he is support his community. He is doing really well because of that.

#### @elear:

This is the guy behind the Utopian project (check utopian.io). He is a brilliant visionary and has created a giant community of people who share his vision. More than 4 Million SteemPower has been delegated to his project so far. Not only that...the people who help him along the way are also benefiting from his creation. Many newcomers interested into the world of open-source have been making much more rewards via his project than they were on steemit.com

#### @dontstopmenow

I like this guy a lot. He was the number #1 curator on the whole platform for a long time. Even though he had a very small account (something like 50 SteemPower), he diligently worked at figuring out how to make the biggest ROI possible with curation. Since I wanted to reliably be able to follow his votes, I connected with him. Got www.steemauto.com created via a bounty of 1000 STEEM I've put out (Thanks @mahdiyari). 

Since then I've been following his trail. He made my curation rewards go up by 75% and I am happy to upvote his post with 100% power whenever he writes something. (He's got to make money after all...curation is mostly profitable for big holders)

## Third - Accumulate as Much SteemPower as Possible

SteemPower is unique. When you invest STEEM into SteemPower(SP), your vote define a bigger and bigger portion of the daily reward pool. Not only that, you also gain the ability to make your article trend in the hot section for a while, from there, you gain visibility, followers and more rewards coming from people who like your article or project.

Finally, you start making more and more curation rewards. This, I consider almost like a passive income at this point.

There is nothing like SteemPower and unless you are a pro-trader, accumulating SP is the best crypto move I can think of in the long term.

#### What's Most Difficult is to Get Off the Ground

The most crowded place is at the bottom. It's difficult to get out of there to be honest and I understand those who get discouraged. There is a cumulative advantage for those who stick it out but most don't have the fortitude to figure how to do it.

If you have no money to spend in buying SP, there are bloggers like me who upvote good, thoughful and helpful comments. Find them out and follow them. Add value to their blog by writing good comments and you'll be rewarded.

THIS IS A SPECIAL TIME FOR YOU.

Right now, because of the ridiculous price of SBD, if you earn anything you are getting a 7X to 10X more STEEM than you think. If you only have 10 SBD right now via comments or authors reward, you can exchange them on the internal market(https://steemit.com/market) for 68 STEEM! So even if you get 1SBD via my upvote on your comment. Consider that you are making at least 7X that amount in STEEM.

There as never been a better time to accumulate SteemPower...EVER!

## Conclusion - My Request to You Readers

Most of all, I'm trying to be helpful to my readers. Please write the topic you would like me to cover in my future article. I'll make sure to upvote your suggestions.

Amazing post. My biggest mistake was not building SteemPower, anyway experience on Steemit is great. My suggestion for topic is that you write about your success on Steemit, like beginning, challenges etc.

In your future article I would like to know more personal things about you, like for example how has steemit changed your day to day life?

What is your long term plan giving the fact you are very successful on steemit?

I would also like to ask you about your first days on the platform, but I am sure you already talked about that am I right?

Same with me. I like to see how advanced steemians started out. People can really learn from what others did, learn from errors made and how to perfect their own progression.

Thanks for writing all these posts lately for newcomers! It's been very helpful and I was able to point a few other newbies who didn't know (especially about the internal market) towards your posts :) so we all thank you!! shout to @dontstopmenow for being an awesome Steemian too!! So true that Steemit is about the connections. Can you write about maximizing curation rewards?? - I've been slowly learning, but not sure if I know all the different things to think of regarding that aspect yet!

I have only been on steemit for almost five months; so I am still a newcomer in most aspects.

What brought me here? The opportunity to have a platform for my writing, blogging and to share my passion for gardening. It is a destination that I can post to my heart's content without having to maintain the site and behind the scenes issues.

I have made some great "friends", joined some wonderful communities and have learned a wealth of information I had not found anywhere else online.

I would love to read a future article about your daily routine from the time you started steemit until now; how it progressed and maybe how you learned from errors along the way. I like to see organization and schedules. Maybe your followers can learn from your dedication.

Thank you for this post! It really gives me the force to continue and not be discouraged by the small attention we get at the beginning on Steemit.
I don't have a particular request for a post but I like the fact that you really listen to your audience.

Dear @cryptoctopus, great insights! I'm also one of the newcomers, just started in the summer, did not invest, but tried all kinds of things here on Steemit. It's been really fun, I tried coding for the first time in my life, I tried photo-shopping, now I'm trying song-writing... What a great way to step out of the box, with sometimes success and sometimes not so much :) So yeah, I haven't really been establishing a core competence, still working on that..

But, if you could touch on one subject in a next post: Getting upvotes is one thing, but how to drive more engagement, views and comments to your blog, that is really something I would really like to learn more about.

Thanks for highlighting these other steemians, went and followed them, seem like valuable members and great for the community. A topic that might be useful for new members is learning about the different communities within the steemit ecosystem. Most people know about PAL, or minnow support, but I'm talking about some of the smaller groups. learning how to join @curie, getting involved with @steemsports or working alongside @ecotrain. those could be valuable groups to new members trying to find their place

If you need any help fleshing out information about Curie I may be of service there as a Curie Curator.  Steemsports is looking for writers, though they don't really advertise as such, but if anyone wants to write about sports for them, I know a guy who knows a guy as it were. ;-)

I'm quite new, but I found the science nieche...I am a scientist too, already found the steemstem project and writing scientific stuff I really know about seems to be working well here. I would also state that a good introduceyourself post is worth a lot, it gives you your first followers, and resteems seem to increase your visibility A LOT.
What I would like to read about: There are some details of the dynamics here that are not really explained well to newbies. For example:
- I've read somewhere in a comment that upvoting a post during the first 30 min will not give you curation rewards - is that true and wtf is the reason for that?
- how do you delegate SP, what for, and what do you gain by doing so?
- should I even care to vote for witnesses if I know none of them...is it worth getting into the who-is-who?

These are all good questions. You can learn about curation in the welcome page (steemit.com/welcome). The rule is the same across any type of post (blog or comment)

For delegating, there are several ways. Please contact us on the chat and we will help you. For witnesses, it is somehow important, but you may want to take the time to know the witnesses first. It has its own importance to ensure a good running of the platform :)

@cryptoctopus,
The day one I joined here and the very first day I started reading your posts what I feel was you are very helpful! After few months back, I am still your big fan, not becoz of the reward, but becoz of the way you help others and the way you share your experience with others! 
As you said, your $1 worth upvote valuable more than 7 Steem and that also mean it valuable more than 12 USD! It might be a big reward for the new joiners and great content makers! Keep this good work up!

Cheers~

Yes, great suggestion! 
I've seen people be so happy about reaching a certain reputation level, and I'm wondering why. Are there milestones hidden in those numbers or is it simply: the higher the better? 
I also see some people, who have only just joined, have a quite high reputation from the beginning (or after only a few weeks). What makes your reputation grow? 

And most importantly: Why is it displayed next to our name so it looks like it would be our age??? LOL

You suggest buying STEEM on the internal market with SBD. My question is: what benefit does gain STEEM have? I thought that's main purpose was to be transferred to either SP or SBD. Could you clarify what you would do with STEEM once you have it?

For most people, I would suggest to turn STEEM into STEEMPOWER(SP) as much as possible. STEEM doesn't do anything on the steem blockchain. It's good to transfer around, send to exchanges, etc. But it doesn't get you more influence and reward on the platform. I suggest to turn SBD to STEEM because the price of SBD has went crazy and I don't see that situation lasting forever...so while the getting is good, it's the perfect time to get STEEM (to then turn it into SP) at $0.14 each on the internal market while it's at $1.75 on the regular market. Make sense?

Got it.
Do you know how much SP someone needs before there upvote is worth something?
Is there a formula shat shows how much your upvote is worth per SP held? 
And one more question: is there anything keeping me from using the "Sell" function under STEEM and converting it to bitcoin? Would that be a bad idea for some reason.

Thanks btw.

Thanks to be generous to new comers like me. Your post means a lot to me as it puts light on different aspects where one can get reasonable income. From this post I got the point that if one want to get benefit one should be beneficial to others as well as entire system. I would love you to have some posts on curation reward mechanism.

Steemit has rewarded the hard work I've put into my podcast for the first time ever. I've been doing it for a few years now (off and on), and it wasn't until Steemit that I began to build listeners and "profit". 

With only a small investment in myself of $50 (plus crypto profits), Steemit allows me to make a few Steem/Steem Dollars a week (which mean more with the rise in price).

For newcomers, keep hammering, do the work and try to stay in your lane a bit. There are a lot of self-sustaining communities here and they are only growing.

This is a great topic!  Thanks for opening up the discussion!

One of the things I find very interesting and would like to know more about is the engagement level of whales.  I know you personally read every comment on your threads, unfortunately, this seems to be more the exception than the rule.  And I am not going to blame the whales, as they can easily get hundreds of comments each time they post.  

So asking as someone who likes to get out of his own blog as much as possible and engage with people in their space, what kind of comments draw you to a person in such a way that you feel compelled to visit their blog and see what they are writing about?  

To put it another way.  How can minnows stand out in the comment section of a post that could have hundreds of other people vying for the OP's attention?

Of course I have my own parameters of engagement in my posts.  Things like Showing you actually read what I wrote, contributed something worthwhile to the discussion, and come back to respond if someone chooses to continue the conversation by responding to your comment, are all indicators to me of someone who is looking to engage in the community.  

Interested to hear what draws you out of your own blog to look at someone and see what they are doing?  Or is your primary method of curating to take care of people in your comments, and stick with the list of people you are already following for your feed?

Thanks for the opportunity to pick your brain!  Very interested in how this thread develops!!!

nice post my friend, you almost cover all the important steps which are great for new steemians and you ask us to give suggestion for your future article as far as i know you are sponsor in utopian.io and you are also one of the earliest steemian here on steemit, so i suggest you to tell us about some easy open source projects, i know there are huge amount of open source projects running but tell us a simplest of open source projects on which we work and then submit our contribution in utopian.io, i think utopian.io is amazing project and it's also great for new steemians and minnows like me, wish you all the best for all of your future endeavors! my friend, Stay blessed

Thank u so much for this sir.  Your posts are always helpful especially in clarifying certain aspects of this complex platform called steemit. 
You've been recommending  powering up for sometime since the sbd spike and I'm seriously consisting that now.

You run a series of posts sometime back of tilted
"If I was A minnow I would"   it really helped because i had just joined and you talked about adding value to the community.

**I took your advice and began promoting Steemit to my country Uganda and i am glad i was among the people @starkerz recognised at SteemFest in November.**

I would wish you run it again at the start of the year for all the new Steemians joining now...

It was a great series of pots indeed,thank you.

I would have asked this even without your request at the end because I'm genuinely interested and know zero about this: *Curation trails*. 

When I read your paragraph about @dontstopmenow I thought, "Could I increase my curation rewards by 75%, too??" I headed straight to the steemauto.com site and watched the video there, but honestly, I didn't understand a thing. 

I would love a simple step by step guide on this, what is a curation trail, why are they beneficial and how do I practically go about following one. Is it as simple as following @donstopmenow and upvoting anyone who he upvotes? And how do find out who he upvotes? Or are their bots and third party apps involved? 

I honestly know absolutely nothing about this.

Mental fortitude and perseverance is key to getting something out of steemit. I must admit I almost quit steemit for good since I was spending hours upon hours curating and still not making any headway. After 3 months of hiatus, I'm back with new vigor to the community. 

Thanks for the great insight!

It would be nice if you take us on some lecture in steem upvotes someday. It's one complex subject that i can't quite grasp yet. At time i upvote posts and do not see a single cent added to the content payout. 
Pls write on upvotes and voting power generally - percentage, timing, impact, etc. 

Thank u.

Hello! 

Well, I've been on steemit for like... 1 hour maybe (?). There's A LOT to read to get a grasp on how everything works here. Thankfully though, everything is nicely organized and I've noticed a great number of help-to-newcomers post, like this one, so I hope little by little i'll understand the system.

As for what would I like to read in an future article, because of the small amount of time I have here this could be already covered somewhere else, but seeing as you seem to dominate the subject, I'd like to read a simple yet complete explanation on cryptocurrencies. I've read a few but they have been either too basic or too complicated and I still feel like I have some knowledge holes regarding the concept.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll be sure to take them into account!

Have a nice day.

This is a great topic! Thanks for opening up the discussion

this seems to be more the exception than the rule. And I am not going to blame the whales, as they can easily get hundreds of comments each time they post.

So asking as someone who likes to get out of his own blog as much as possible and engage with people in their space, what kind of comments draw you to a person in such a way that you feel compelled to visit their blog and see what they are writing about?

To put it another way. How can minnows stand out in the comment section of a post that could have hundreds of other people vying for the OP's attention?

Of course I have my own parameters of engagement in my posts. Things like Showing you actually read what I wrote, contributed something worthwhile to the discussion, and come back to respond if someone chooses to continue the conversation by responding to your comment, are all indicators to me of someone who is looking to engage in the community.

Interested to hear what draws you out of your own blog to look at someone and see what they are doing? Or is your primary method of curating to take care of people in your comments, and stick with the list of people you are already following for your feed?

The first mover advantage Steemit has is that it is a complete system for bloggers and normal people who want to make money straight off their ideas without hassle. it is a place where an audience will see what you are blogging about and has an incentive to curate your content because they will benefit with eral money.

I think society is doomed if everybody would act like that. The community thought will get lost and we become mere individual soldiers on a lonely quest for power(and everyone else is just plotting to take it from you)
Sometimes it necessary to retreat. Anyways, it seems impossible to make something happen without it so its hard to make decisions. U got me thinking now :D thanks!

Hello @cryptoctopus !
This is my first comment after joining busy.org a minute ago. I joined steemit 12 hours ago.
Can you write on the following topics please ?
1. What is the difference between steemit.com and busy.org in a beginners persepective?
2. How can I gain from using both the above mentioned platforms? Will they double my earnings?
3.What are your suggestions for young steemers to transform into whales?
4. Which cryptocurrencies have you invested for 2018?
5.How did you build your VP to 74?

Finally, can we discuss about marketing over a cup of coffee?

Best,
@arcrypto

Great and useful article! 
Funny question though: how do you make friends on SteemIt?
I have started my account a few months ago, but haven't really invested much time in it. Are there any other articles recommended to newcomers as I would like to learn more about the platform.
Cheers!

Hello Sir! I am new to the world of Crypto and i love the technology behind it and then I stumbled onto STEEM. I think it's incredible and I am brand brand new and have no idea what to do or how to contribute. I build boats for a living and I grow microgreens as a hobby...sooooo maybe I will figure a way to contribute soon. Until then i wish you all the best and will be watching you! JD

@jvalentine ·
Thank you once again for an interesting post. I could say "been there, done that" and in some ways I have. I am happy with a following, don't go all out for it, preferring good content, good curating and building my power. However I have problems with the overall concept of actually making money. That doesn't mean I want to "make cash and run" as I am in it for the long term and fully believe in Steemit. But when it comes to "how to's" there is no fixed answer and I've spent hours trying to get to my final goal. Just to prove that I can move Steem/SBD to another platform (yes I can) then moving that into BTC (yes I can) but getting that into actual fiat currency has proven difficult to say the least. Apart from being successful in an Exodus Wallet.  I am now ready to invest but am stymied at every turn by technology! What is it with the platforms that accept your Steem/SBD and then go wrong??!
I am posting on my efforts and will still keep trying. I appreciate your posts as they always give something.

Thank you Cryptoctopus for keeping the community informed in an easy to read format.  The suggestions are very helpful.  I have powered up more Steem with your SBD trading advice.

New topic: do you have any crypto trading tips, tools, etc.  or can your explain other ways to earn on steemit?  I heard something about providing liquidity to the internal SBD/Steem market.

Thanks for all you do!

I am a housewife. to live in developing a very social platform is certainly for me very difficult to develop here. I always try to take the time to work by sharing the information on this platform. before I joined steemit, first I read and study it so it can run smoothly unlike my friends when joining who always do not know the direction in managing this platform. I made my first post #introduceyourself in the last week, and I am very satisfied with the result because, got a fantastic upvote that is $ 17 more. and of course at the time of payment, the price sbd is soaring high that make my payment perpostingan reach up to millions of Rupiah. with my passion instantly buy the steem that gets with the amount reached up to seven times per sbd. and until now I've collected steam has reached nearly 80 steem in a week and add sp directly into storage sp. this is a very unusual thing that I did not dream of. I plan to make an economic foundation from here to be safe and comfortable. I keep trying to write what I can share by posting in the form of information about the development of the steemit platform so that other small fish can manage this platform properly. I hope to grow fast and want to help people by teaching them about steemit. because I judge, this platform is one way that can eliminate poverty and make people can think in a positive way. maybe just this first I can convey .. my respect to you @ crytoctopus, hopefully you are one of the figures that can help small fish to be able to grow. thanks so much i like you ..

I just want to reiterate that collecting SP is really important.

At 100 SP it became much easier to vote and get curration rewards.
Before then, I would have to get lucky to get curraton rewards, because you have to make more than 0.001 SP to get a payout.  At 100 SP it became far easier to meet that threshold.

At 488 SP, or more specifically 1MVest (one million vests, your actual vote power) you get a slider that allows you to change your vote percentage.  And thus keep a balance between voting amount and voting power.

Thanks @cryptoctopus for this wonderful opportunity. I always look forward to your posts because they are very educative and brings up discussions. Sometimes I do visit your blog to read old articles. 

I would love your next article to be on Smart Media Token, how it affects Steem/SBD. The advantages and downsides to its application in the steem blockchain. 

I've read about it somewhere but still haven't grasp enough information. The way you elaborate and write with simple grammar will help me in getting a hold on what SMT is. 

Thanks

Thanks for this post! Good initiative to reach out to newbies and make them feel welcome by giving commitment that you WILL read any comment given for suggestion. As a noob, this makes me want to give a more responsible comment.  
There were about 100 comments before me and I'm sorry I could not go through everything to check if someone already gave this suggestion before. But here is what I want to know

- As a newcomer I want some simple suggestions on how to go about increasing my reputation score. How do I go from 25 to 35/40?what are the things/factors behind this?  
From a newbie's perspective does it help if I upvote lot of posts or just put comments ( even if they don't get upvoted)?  Most newbies without any major followers or having brilliant ideas will be doing just these two. 

- Can you cover some major communities which support newbies with upvotes or resteems like Minnowsupport or minnowpond etc. 

Thanks again for the post!

Dumb question, but is an e-mail required to sign up for steemauto? I don't like giving my e-mail out to services whenever possible. I just made this address, and somebody already submitted it to a bunch of stupid spam casino sites that are filling up my box. -____-;;

before I joined steemit.com I like the person who don't know another way of life in the world as to date I still owed by the more people to achieve the hundreds of millions of dollars. therefore it so, then make life for me as if it ends and continue to over. problems affecting I made my health worse and certainly very messed up. in September 2017 there is one of my friends are named account @green07 forced me to join in steemit.com and indirect denied offer him ask me directly makes me join. at the beginning - early posts I just got upvote by the number of penny worthless for me at that time. but with a spirited diligent and faithful in accompanied by the lure - lure upvote large in give @blocktrades, I continue to work hard by way of writing. I am very experienced in the field of integrated farming and I continue to discuss the problem in the posts by me. at the time week past with little by little I wrote with tag #steemstem and #steemiteducation up #homesteading I have started up from sleep far from the awareness. I continue to get upvote so on posting my last week I in upvote @blocktrades, this is something that hold me dreamed that have come true. when everyone busy memanenkan SBD them with the price was skyrocket I took a step initiative not mencairkannya, I directly buy steem in order to be able to my rent delegation that have been in a matter of me to be developed here. until now I have put together steem hampair 180 steem. I plan will collect up to reach 276 steem are likely to get 10.000 warrant to make my safe in the work here. now, steemit only one - only way to solve the problem of debt me. and steemit is hero for all a lot of people. thanks so much..i like you @cryptoctopus ... by. @boyasyie

Something that has helped me a lot.. is choosing the right tags. Nobody sees my crypto posts, because those are the biggest tags on the platform, and your posts get buried too fast if you're small. I do however, frequently get rewards in the gaming tag, and for contributions on the Utopian site. Finding a "niche" community can help you get started much easier. Homesteading is also a good tag where new users can get curated, but there are many other smaller communities you can join as well related to art, music, or whatever else you're interested in.

@cryptoctopus this are very good advises for the newcomers. Most of them think, that they earn very fast cash, because they see some huge amounts of 100-500 SBD per Posting. I understand, when you see that as a newbie, you wish to have the same, fast and quick.... BUT - this will not gonna happened ( only if you invest real money into your Steemit Account ) So, keep up your work, don't post rubbish, make it carefully and don't copy and paste any text from any website or from your own website, the Bot will find it right away this copy text. I wish all newcomers here come and long term power and finally success!

top notch submit. My biggest mistake was now not building SteemPower, besides revel in on Steemit is notable. My proposal for subject matter is which you write approximately your fulfillment on Steemit, like beginning, challenges and many others.
thanks @Cryptoctopus for retaining the community knowledgeable in an smooth to read format. The suggestions are very helpful. i've powered up greater Steem with your SBD trading advice.
thanks

I have been on Steemit about 5 months, so I am still a newcomer in some aspects.
Steemit has come to mean to me a wonderful special place!
I enjoy being here.

Also I believe that Steemit will help me to achieve financial freedom.

So I would love to read any your future article, for example, how you learned from your errors along the way and about your success on Steemit. 
Thank you.

When I started my post fell into nothingness and after a month or so I got a first comment on it. 
I'd like to see something written about upvoting - it never stops baffling me when my posts get upvote of 1% and is 0$ - I don't seem to understand this. Sure, on the beginning I was giving upvotes  that were 100% and 0$ also, but now I take care that I don't exceed that window when my upvote of now 0.01$ would be 0$ - and I hope to continue that way. Maybe it's already a worn out topic, but nevertheless.

Indeed. With persistence and hard work, anything is possible. I wanted to see how real and how good Steemit can be. I have no regrets, my time and efforts were, and still are, well spent. I know many others with success stories, who started from the bottom and went up.

I've been on Steemit since June, but these kinds of posts are still helpful to me. 

Do you have a goal for how many posts you publish in a week? What motivates you to keep posting?

I was really excited about Steemit at the end of the summer and was posting most every day... but life got challenging and I stopped. I've been reading, upvoting and commenting but haven't written many posts in the last couple months.

What keeps you going?

Great article. Do you do better on Bittrex or the Internal Market for trading your SBD for Steem. I always use the Internal "Market" on my SBD wallet but I notice some people always send to Bittrex and trade there ?  I'd like to know when is the best time to upVote a post for Curator rewards. Is it between 15-30 minutes or after 30 minutes ? Thanks for your Great Blog.

This is a really inspiring and motivating thing for a beginner like me. Steemit is a really good platform for all. Steemit is soon gonna reach to the top and we steemians should play  a very important role for this. Go steemit, go steemians.

@cryptoctopus I totally agree with you with what you said regarding trading almost at the end. After trading (when somebody is an expert), powering up to get more Steem Power is probably "the best thing" to do in crypto as a long term investment.

I don't know if I read your mind, or viceversa, but yesterday I thought, I have been writing a lot of posts with ideas to make steemit a better place, however, I thought I could also make posts to help new people make their way on steemit, from when they start. Every day, more and more people are coming to the platform, and the more help we can give them to succeed, the faster the platform will grow, and the word will spread like lightning rays.

For the next post or one of the next ones you could write targeted to creative people on steemit and also on Google (because for sure your post will be reached why lots of people outside steemit and the steem blockchain). You can show them some examples of contributions some people are making on the community, and how they are rewarded for that. You can also tell them that we are paid in SBD and steem, and that it can be converted to BTC, ETH and LTC, and afterwards into their fiat currency.

Your thoughts?

Regards, @gold84

Thank you, for this useful advice. I’m fairly new to Steemit and still finding my footing.

Even though I’m the author of 7 critically-acclaimed books, with thousands of followers on other platforms, starting from scratch here.

If you know any lovers of poetry, philosophy, cultural commentary & spiritual meditations, please, send them my way :)

Here’s a profile of my work on PBS NewsHour: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/poetry/humble-one-liners-can-teach-us-times-live

Cheers, Yahia  ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/ediyzzlcd8.jpg)

Great post for the new members of steemit  @cryptoctopus ! View been here since July 2016 and its easy to forget how hard it was starting out back then Especially when steemit so new and much different ! As someone who was new to social media all together I found it very challenging , but Wow have I ever learned a lot since then !! Im glad I stumbled upon your latest post  and seen the awesome ways you are trying to help out the community ! Something I do is put on my Power of positivity contest to help spread more positivity around steemit ! I believe like you do that helping out and giving back is a great way to help the platform and our fellow steemians  grow ! Great advice you shared here , keep up the awesome work ! Upped and resteemed !! πŸ˜ŠπŸ’•πŸ‘πŸ˜ŠπŸ’•πŸ‘

Thx so much for this post. For a small fish like me it is very valuable. I got a reward for a writing contest - and really happy about that. Yeah!

Now i have 2.000 STEEM and no idea, what is the best to do. After I read your article, I will probably change it in Steem Power, right?! I want to do the best for the community, because good things come back every single time. 

Best wishes from Paraguay

Hello Mr. Cryptoctopus. I loved the ideas that you captured in your recent post We are still very early in this game, I agree with you, I learn a lot of your articles and I would like to take the idea you have given to learn and make relationships with people who already have a long time I am an active and constant member of steemit, and I would love to be part of this new stage, you have many followers of the community in Spanish who, like me, learn a lot from your ideas, I would like to know if I can help you translating your posts into Spanish and that you publish them, giving all credit to you, I would only like your support according to what you consider fair, a humble request that I hope you can consider, and if you like the idea, you tell me . A big hug and thanks.
