I know I know, there is a lot of money that could be made from steemit platform, it looks simple to write random things and get money through upvote. 

But wait instead of getting upvoted from a whale you may also get flagged. What should you do then?

#### First know the reason why are you getting flagged, the reason may be one of the following-

### 1. Plagiarized Content

In the process of making quick money, you may be trying to copy content from other websites and pasting it into your blog on steemit. Or maybe the person who had introduced you to this platform, just suggested you this idea. _**Well it's a strict no-no**_. 
The people earning good rewards are putting their best efforts into creating their blogs. So the posts you see in trending every day, are the result of continuous and persistent efforts of bloggers. Copying and pasting won't take you anywhere.

***OH, you thought steemit was easy money?*** I think initially everyone thought the same way. Okay can't say about everyone but yeah I thought the same way in the beginning so it's not our fault. I think we get overwhelmed by looking at the rewards on the trending page, but the truth is that we need to ***hustle a lot before getting such rewards***. If we don't have any of our audience on .com social sites. Which itself is a big deal.

### 2.Spamming

Are you writing the same comments everywhere in the process of seen everywhere and getting more followers?. Beware you may get flagged. Why? because the whales don't like it. They don't want you to abuse this platform with spams everywhere.

### 3.Content with least efforts

I have gone through many posts in which people just click a photograph and just posts them on steemit (*I'm talking about steemit, not Dmania/Steepshot/D-tube*)
So it's a blogging site and we need to write some good length paragraph to support your content. If you are not even doing that, you may get flagged as well. 

### 4.Bots

That's somewhat trending right now. We have a new cat in the town named "grumpy cat" and that cat is punishing and flagging people for using bots. I believe she is limited to people who are getting more than $100 upvotes and is wise enough to leave the minnows.

#### 5.Just a suggestion 

You got to stay away from Team H and Team BS. You might get into flag wars! Didn't get what I'm trying to suggest, give steemit sometime and you'll surely get it. :P

### Got flagged. Now what??

Most of the high reputation people on steemit are working day and night to make ***steemit*** a better community. There are some great people, who are spending some of their valuable time in curating posts, finding stolen and plagiarized content on steemit and flagging them. 

If you are thinking that they got some problem with you or are jealous of you because of your ethnicity/culture/earning or whatever then my friend you are completely wrong. You won't find any better community then steemit. They are welcoming, helping and knows the kindness got an incentive over here.

Not sure about that just peep into their accounts, have a look in their posts and you may find 100% original content which directly or indirectly is somewhat helping the community to grow and they are rewarded well so jealously seems out of question.

They just want you to get fall in line and work for better earning, without getting steemit a bad name.

### So second, edit your post, delete everything from that post and write "messed up".

### then make a nice note "Dear @----- I now know the reason behind your flag, I was too naive to understand this platform, I know what should I be doing from now. Instead of creating plagiarized content, I'll work on creating some good content. I have deleted content from that post of mine. Please remove the flag" and put that in the memo and transfer 0.001 SBD to @----.

#### That's it you are good to go, I bet you they will be nice enough to remove the flag. So instead of getting into the stupid flag war with them, you have saved your reputation.

#### You know what we are still 6,28,000 people on steemit, one day number gonna shoot up in millions so you are lucky enough to get into this platform early. So don't waste your time spamming and plagiarizing content.
