Thats really really useful! @isaria thanks for sharing this great post for us minnows! Your support is highly appreciated!  Upvoted! greetings from Spain! :)

Great advice. I just posted my top 3 tips for newbies since I hit my 1000 follower mark. I don't think I'm incredibly knowledgeable about the workings of Steemit, but you paralleled my thoughts in many ways. Everyone has their own unique perspective and passions. Sharing from that base will get things rolling here...with patience and persistence.

Great guide. can i translate it to hebrew for helping the israel community ? @isaria

i recommend to new users the exact same advice i give to other writers who want to know how i keep going, even when things aren't going so well: 

create what YOU want, write what YOU want, and put out into the world that which you wish to see more of.  anything else beyond that is out of your control, so better to be true to your passions and to yourself rather than not...even at the expense of some perceived level of "success." i'd much rather do things on my own terms rather than on those dictated by someone else.

Great advice! What would you recommend for someone new and writing on a topic that is not yet being written about? I am interested in a niche about law school. There is almost nothing about the law right now on SteemIt.

Awesome. I appreciate you. I am new on steemit please follow and vote me @cristi.

This is really helpful advice for newcomers, but also for some of us who have been around for awhile.  Thanks for sharing!

interesting advise, i will have a look at it

Great educational piece. Thanks for all you do for the steemit community. 
This post has been deemed resteem & upvote worthy by your friendly @eastcoaststeem ran by @chelsea88 (not a bot)

This is wisdom personified. I'd like to be a part of this, pls how do I begin?

awesome article, thanks for that! I think finding your niche is a big thing but not absolutely neccessary. I do not really have a nice and I just post the stuff I am interested in and what I love doing. So you will find my art, photography, drone videos and all the creative stuff on one side, but you will also find scientific articles that I write about the topics I am interested in. A niche is a nice place to start but I feel like suprising your audience is a good way too. Anyway, thanks.

Thank you! This text is really helpful even though I have a plan of what I want to write about. It is great how welcomened newbies like me are.

Really insightful article for a newbie like me..
It answered a lot of questions that I was asking myself.. And ones I didn't think to ask. I'm gonna take ur advice and stick to what I know and like while keeping it informative and transparent.

Thanks for the information. You are quite helpful sir.

Thank you for all this information. I found you bc you recommended one of my cartoons that I've started writing just for steemit. I just want to say "here,here" to anyone out there who is doing what they love. Keep at it and keep your focus on the love of your work and less on the love from others for your work. Create bc it truly brings you joy. The more joy you can harvest from your personal process the more folks will recognize the very same joy in their own process and voila, followers that you will truly connect with.

When you're not creating, treat yourself to curating your feed. Think of you running a bed and breakfast and your brain and your heart are your frequent visitors. Here you'll develop relationships that will make your own creativity flourish. Anyways, thanks @isaria for finding my stuff and taking the time to spread my message. Looking forward to getting to know your channel more now.

Thanks for the great tips for minnows!

Great Advice!
As long as they're being themselves and not getting discouraged, they're golden.

This is key. Great observation and post.

thank you for this post, and its really helpful post for everyone.

Thank you for using your time to help others. Your advice is very helpful.

When I first joined Steemit, I saw a post by someone who was asked how he'd approach things if he had to do it all over again. His main focus was on engaging with other people directly, with blog posts as something that he'd do in the background so that followers would have something to rally around.

I'm beginning to see the value of following people who produce good content as it means that my feed will have something where I can engage with them and others in the comments section. The New and Hot sections, etc., haven't produced the goods for me so far.

Great post!

Excellent advice. I think everyone has a *lot* more to offer than they can begin to realise. Sometimes all it takes to fire the brain cells is having an explore through posts under tags of interest and seeing what others are writing about.

One thing I have noticed is that it is better to take a topic and break it down into parts, and then do posts on each part to build up a story (take gardening for example, there are so many topics within this broad label that one could never run out of things to post about!).

As long as we make sure our posts are *quality*, and as I read somewhere recently - evergreen (aka relevant for years to come) - then the contributions are worthwhile. And this doesn't mean we can't have fun in our posts, either. Humour is a wonderful way to engage the audience; but definitely find your *own* voice and use it well. :)

That's a great post! Very good advice.

Already bookmarked the post. I know I will get back to it from time to time. Thnx for sharing.

Great post and thank you for the advice.  To be honest, I'm still trying to find my niche myself, though I did find at least one or two things I would like to do on a regular/semi-regular  basis.  I'll be sure to check out the links you sent and I'll try to catch the radio show as well if time allows.

Thank you for the taking the time to help us minnows!
