This is the reason why i am fully invested in Steem.
The passive income that you get just by regular bloging staks up and before you know it your progressing greater then you have expected.
Not to mention when the price of Steem increases that a win win situation.

Always think one day at the time and long-term for your Steemit account.

I came across Peter (@fullcoverbetting) quite a while ago since his name stood out in the @abh12345 Engagement League. (My blog is mostly around betting). It's really rare to see these accounts that understand how the game needs to be played and I have been trying to steer people into this direction for a long time. It's quite frustrating at times though to see most accounts just being passive expecting results without putting real effort into it.

One of the biggest tells to me is accounts that make regular posts on their progression on Steemit. All of them are much more aware and more likely to succeed in the long run making it rewarding to give a bit of support without expecting anything in return. Some others I came across that are willing to take some initiative and / or keep track of their progression aside of Peter: @jlordc | @beat-the-bookies | @thedarkhorse | @erikklok | @plantstoplanks | @lenasveganliving | ...

It should not be underestimated how much time and effort has been put into it all by Peter to get to his level @taskmaster4450. I have been following and unfollowing you on and off because I can't handle the in my view often one sided view on things eulogizing Steemit in your posts. I'm sure you understand what I mean. This post also only points towards the good things but does not really include the insane amount of time peter needed to put in daily to get to where he is. Great article still though.

Hi @taskmaster4450. I have been working very similarly but targeting slightly more,that doesn't matter though. The point is setting the right goals that you can work towards. I don't think many think like this and they should.

What is the main point here those who are new to the Digital currencies life how do we educated each one of them to understand the new ERA of money wish is the real future of this universe and ounce we do our part they will thank us

I would say that where you nailed the truth more than anywhere is was here:

>Perhaps it is the marketing by some ignorant Steemians who believe it is a good idea to troll Facebook and YouTube touting the idea that one can make thousands of dollars on a post in 24 hours. 

Yup. Having been part of MANY "get rewarded for posting content" venues, I can confirm that when to present a site as "easy money" you get FLOODED with people looking for easy money. It's the first rule of marketing... *"you get EXACTLY what you ask for."*

As one of Peter's followers, I would agree he's a great example of *"slow and steady wins the race,"* although his rise has been *much* faster than most of us "redfish" or "plankton." 

=^..^=

Woo!  I am loving working toward dolphin, and stuff like this is the reason.  Just multiply by a different number ;p

People promoting steem are a little too ambitious, often flat out fallacious.  I saw a guy tell someone that

>$300,000 is nothing for a steemit post if you know the right people ;)

Lying to people isn't going to help matters.

Really nice example you give here. Great to see how effort and endurance can pay off!

It was a little surprise this morning to see that Gina went wild. So thank for that @taskmaster4450.
Lot's of work has been put into the blog. And I did make some hard choices. In the beginning I was only blogging about Steem and Crypto! But as you can see from my nick, one of my passions is sportsbetting. It was hard to bite the bullet to also start posting about that niche. But this decision did increase my passion for blogging a lot. Also I did meet some great people and we even did start the Sports Betting Community! The idea behind this community is that we go out and search for sports bloggers on the steem blockchain and we try to support them with advice and upvotes. This way we are trying to decrease the burn rate in this niche. And that is important because it is a niche what is not seen as adding value to the blockchain and therefor easily overlooked by lots of curation programs. The more of these communities stand up the better this blockchain will become. The more niches are present to more people would feel at home!
The sports betting community did encourage me to set up a big world cup contest, which did have a prize pool of 110 SBD. Most of this money was sponsored. This did making it possible for me to leave my footprint on the steem blockchain!

But the basis of my account was created lots earlier! And for this I mostly have to thank 3 people. All these 3 people helped me in more or like a similar way! These are @taskmaster4450, @preparedwombat and @ abh12345!
Let me explain how these people have helped me:
- you my friend, with your passion and encouraging post about the steem blockchain, but what really opened my eyes was a post you wrote in the beginning of the year. In this post you showed us the way. The way was to write genuine comments and to be engaged. You even showed evidence. After that I did become more active and engaged, resulting in accumulating more SP per week with commenting than with writing own posts! I do remember reading the post and what a feeling it did bring me! Thanks for that!
- @preparedwombat, while not visible he was always there for me! He was the first one who did give me a free delegation to come over the connection problems! He also wrote a lot of posts about engagement and commenting. Later on, he adopted to me to help me lifting my account to 1K own SP. Actions like this does give me a moral and motivational boost! 
- @abh12345 I quickly stumbled on the engagement league of Asher. I am sure that he also saved me form the burn rate. It is like gamification of engagement. Also here I was granted some free delegations. In return I do still sponsor his weekly league with an SBI share. Will this doesn't look much, for sure in the beginning I did have to scrape enough steem on a weekly basis to pay for the sponsorship. While it was hard, it is one of the best decision which I did make!

And last but not least, I am grateful for meeting the co-founders of the SBC community! @stimp1024, @costanza, @acelad and @beat-the-bookies. Thanks guys for your ongoing support and the friendly banter! As you can see we are a mix of red fish, minnows and dolphins! All with the same mindset, trying to make this a better place!

To all the ones who are starting. I am not the best writer in the world and look what I did with my account! If I can do this, so can you! Just write about things that does interest you!
Don't chase votes they will come as long as you engage with others and spread your love around. And while everybody is responsible for their own account you can't do it on your own!
Remember that how stronger the account around you become, they stronger they can support you! I am not talking about a friend upvote jerk circle but like taksmaster4450 lots of times wrote, we should support each other.
Find people with shared interests and start commenting, build a relationship and good things will come your way! Don’t doubt about it!
Don’t chase whales or Orcas begging for upvotes, they will notice you if the time is right! They are just human beings like us and most of them like to interact! But don’t interact to score an upvote, interact because you do find the article interesting and do want to add value to the discussion!

Mmh, maybe I should have write this all down in on own post 

Cheers,
Peter

I give my respects to @fullcoverbetting as this is not easy to accomplish for many reasons but dedication and consistency pay off in the long term.  Just look at the exposure he is getting by your mention.  I will be following him because I want to learn what he is doing so I can also grow my SP organically as well!

@fullcoverbetting is my second “adoptee” in the 1KSP initiative!

I’ve been upvoting him at 100% for the last few months.

Thank you for sharing the @fullcoverbetting story, it is great. As we speak, I am a dolphin, and did not invest a cent, only posting, which by the way I do enjoy!! An added benefit of steem, or any other crypto is that it give you protection if your countries currency takes a dive!! I am a South-African and this is a real risk in my country!! (I almost thought @fullcoverbetting was South African as their is an Afrikaans word on his graph "grafiekgebied"but I see he is from Belgium - our languages are similar!!) I see he does not use bitbods, which I appreciate as I hate these bods, they go against the principals of good content being rewarded, as content paying for votes get rewarded!! These bods also skew reputation as people using them basically buys reputation!! If steem goes anywhere near the figures in your example I will be a rich man!!
