<b>Imagine waking up one day and having a community of hundreds of thousands of users all of a sudden knowing your name...</b>

Sounds crazy, but it's exactly what happened to me last year! By the grace of the gods or whatever have you I was lucky enough to learn about STEEM and Steemit just as it was launching. Initially I didn't take it that seriously, figuring it maybe was too good to be true, but after over a year now on our STEEM network and dedicating my time, effort and energy into said network I can safely say that where we are here now is very likely the best community in the crypto ecosystem and perhaps even the net.

Steemit.com has completely changed the way I live, my outlook on life and how I view the world around me. Abundance, security and confidence were in short supply in my life before coming here and integrating STEEM over my once previously wasted years of existing..

With that being said I now have been contacted by hundreds of Steemit users asking me to help them become popular, influential and wealthy here on STEEM. I wasn't able to put the method I used into easily explainable concepts up until today, so in hopes of helping those around me here on Steemit become the famous faces everyone knows I've created this post and explained the 3 main ways one can work towards being a celebrity here.

<center><h2>1. Fame, Fortune and Fans Don't Happen Overnight</h2></center>

The number one issue I hear from up and coming users is them lamenting that they aren't making the big dollars with their posts. What most fail to realize here is that back when I started on Steemit over a year ago I certainly wasn't making the big bucks either! It takes a lot of time, dedication and ultimately honest effort to become a well supported content creator here.

You can't just make an account, throw together a few poorly thought out or formatted posts and expect everyone to know who you are and upvote you. It simply doesn't work like that. The primary way to achieve the goal you seek is through creating unique, stimulating content which in turn converts readers into followers.. more followers mean more exposure and this exposure is ultimately what dictates how many see your work to be able to upvote it.

It's absolutely silly to beat yourself up or get upset that you aren't making what you figure you should be on your posts. If your content is good, you are active in the community and you spend undeniable time as well as effort on creating your things eventually you will get noticed.

<center><h2>2. Stop Copying Others, Let Them Copy You</h2></center>

It's to be said that human nature tends to make us mimic or attempt to duplicate traits or methods we see around us which we're attracted to. While this "copycat herd mentality" is fine and dandy on facebook or reddit generally speaking here on Steemit you'll want to avoid the urge to imitate successful content creators.

People don't want to constantly be barraged my the same thing over and over. It's truly unique content and users that stand out in a crowd.

Share your passion and emotion in your works here on Steemit. While it may seem silly to say it's one of the key ingredients to becoming a Steemit celebrity, give people insight into how you are and it gives them something common shared to latch onto. Your readers eventually become your followers and friends, sharing the experience of life together.

<center><h2>3. Wherever You Are, Is Where You Are Meant To Be</h2></center>

I wasn't always the successful, confident and influential man you see before you today. When I joined Steemit.com I was what one would describe as a "broke degenerate hobo" for lack of a better term. While I knew that I wasn't attempting to flourish as much as I could have at the time I'd not found a medium where I could exercise my skillset to make enough to not live in poverty. 

The opportunity that the STEEM network puts fourth was exactly what I needed at the time to break free from the life of mediocrity I'd created for myself. This is a place to become something better than what you are currently. A chance to have your thoughts, writing and artwork viewed by your fellow network users and be paid for them is nothing short of a means to be who you are with the chance of making money.

<center><h2>Closing Summary & Inspirational Thoughts</h2></center>

You're already a Steemit celebrity regardless of the amount of followers you have. Keep on creating content you enjoy and forget about the post payouts, make content that makes you happy and other people will support it. Being successful at anything is partially skills but mostly mindset. One think to mention is that if you think you're doing poorly it may not be due to lack of good content or dedication, could simply be that the right person has yet to see your stuff. Persistence is one of the most important traits an individual may possess, and is rewarded greatly here.

<center>Go and Create Content That Makes You Happy, The Rest Will Come.. :)</center>
