*Dear Minnow,*
I have gotten this question alot. Newbies keep asking this over and over... you know why?
SIMPLE ANSWER!
>They came with the wrong mindset.

In other words, they came for the money and not for the community.

See the importance of community here: ["On Steemit, Content Is King While Community Is Queen"](https://steemit.com/dearminnow/@nairadaddy/dear-minnow-part-44-on-steemit-content-is-king-while-community-is-queen)

I have reiterated over and over why its good to come for the money. We all need money but if you put it first, you are going into the rat-race. [You Can Never Leave The Rat-Race Unless You Unlearn The Rat-Race Mindset](https://steemit.com/dearminnow/@nairadaddy/dear-minnow-part43-always-put-value-first-money-will-come-along). 
>The *rat-race* mindset is a poverty mentality. 
>>To succeed here, you need an abundance mentality.

### LET ME LIST SOME OF THE COMMON THINGS NEWBIES DO WRONGLY ON STEEMIT
- Their blog is messy: 
>a messy blog is unorganized. It has no title. No focus. No direction. IF YOU WANT to be a serious blogger, then be!
>>For example, you will commonly see a newbie's blog without profile image. Many don't have a catchy bio. Many don't have a cover image.

- Their content is poor:
> a very important point to note is that you are not the judge of what content is *viral*. The masses are the judge. On your own part, what you can guarantee is quality.
>>Many newbies have done a very poor research in their work. Images are zero. 

- They are not unique:
> Steemit is not Twitter where you write 2 words and expect an upvote. Steemit is not Facebook where you write the same thing with everybody else and expect an upvote.
>> You have to find a niche. Make your passion count and give us all what we have never seen on Steemit before. Read ["HOW TO FIND YOUR NICHE"](https://steemit.com/dearminnow/@nairadaddy/dear-minnow-part-42-find-your-niche-do-that-thing-you-love-doing-most-and-write-about-it-till-you-are-known-for-it-with-examples)

- They plagiarize alot:
> This is just damn crazy. When you have @cheetah commenting on your post, yet you expect people to take you seriously? Steemit is a place for unique, original, quality people. You must learn to be unique and original to survive here.
>> Cite the sources of your images, and never you copy and paste.

- Too many useless resteems:
>Sometimes you can visit someone's blog ad struggle to find their own content. 
>>Why? Because they have an endless list of useless resteems. You will quickly learn that you should only resteem a post that falls within your niche or follows the course of your pathway. 

- They never comment, they only spam:
> You have to stop thinking about what steemit can do for you. Instead think about what you will do for steemit.
>>Read and leave a valuable comment on people's blogs. Not spam comments like "nice post". CRAP!

- They are not patient nor consistent:
> They want to blow with just one post. You have to keep doing good over and over and over again.
>> Do it until you are known for it. That doesn't happen in one day. I promise. Think long-term. Think future!

I won't say more. Money follows those who create value; not the other way round. Steemit is no exception to *the law of money*. 
>Take your time. Build a followership. Build a brand. Get known for something. ***And Upvotes will rain on you so much that you may need an umbrella.***

### Have a Happy Sunday and Keep Steeming come rain, come sunshine!!
