<h1>... and why you should keep posting!</h1>

<p>As you may noticed, I'm actually <strong>starting out great on this website</strong>.</p>
<p>I had a <a href="https://steemit.com/life/@ziogio/what-it-s-like-to-come-out-as-gay-at-14-years-old">featured post</a>, I had some cool reward (7$ for <a href="https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@ziogio/when-steemit-can-be-the-right-way-you-have-to-try">my introduction</a> and 3.70$ for <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@ziogio/my-first-week-on-steemit-some-thoughts-and-opinions">my first week</a> post), so you could have thought "he is so lucky".</p>
<p>But, like anyone on this platform, <strong>I have my zero</strong>.</p>
<p>Meaning I have my post with a cool <strong>0.00$ </strong>under the bell.</p>
<h1>Why you should experiment taking risks</h1>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/board-361516_128072591.jpg" width="780" height="591"/></p>
<p>I'm not feeling bad for that content. </p>
<p>It was a wrong type of content and now I know that. And that's exactly what's important on this platform.</p>
<p><strong>Take risks.</strong></p>
<p>Take risks.</p>
<p>Take risks.</p>
<p>When you write on here and when you chat on here, <strong>you're not aiming for cents</strong>. You're not on a PTC site where they promise you a monthly earning of 5$ (wooooow).</p>
<p>You're on into a brand new project that could bring the "<strong>best of both worlds"</strong> (content creation and rewards). So please: keep trying.</p>
<p><strong>If that result in a 0.00$ don't worry too much</strong>. Write to enjoy yourself too, so if the experiment won't give you money, at least it would have give you fun.</p>
<h1>Why you should not focus on a small niche</h1>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/wood-cube-473703_128063025.jpg" width="780" height="519"/></p>
<p>If you ever took part in some online activities, you sure know well what a "niche" is. </p>
<p>Basically, it's a targeted <strong>group of members searching for something</strong>. "Money online" is a niche, "Cook guides" is a niche - and so on. </p>
<p>But we're not here to have our blog. </p>
<p><strong>Google doesn't give a shi* about Steemit</strong>. Because Google doesn't like multi-niches websites. They're general and its algorhitm doesn't know hot to catalogue them well. </p>
<p>But we're on Steemit.</p>
<p>So we are on a social media platform involving the <strong>production of some sort of contents</strong>. Mainly blog posts.</p>
<p>That's different. </p>
<p>Here, you can<strong> talk about food and money in the same profile</strong> and no one is going to hate you for that. And I think the main reason is because we're social here.</p>
<p>You can obtain better results focusing on a niche, probably. But that's not <strong>fun </strong>for me!</p>
<p>You follow a person because you like his/her profile in general, not because you only like the topic he/she writes about.</p>
<p><em>PS: that's just my opinion and I can get discredited by datas or facts. Please, if you don't agree with me, show some evidence to prove I'm wrong. If I am, I'll do a "repairing thing" article.</em></p>
<h1>Why you should focus on your following</h1>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/ball-1580551_12803c688.jpg" width="780" height="438"/></p>
<p>Your following is your <strong>general niche.</strong></p>
<p>It's the group of people that likes your post and they are willing to give you their attention. That's not a small thing: <strong>they're giving you their time</strong>.</p>
<p>And they're investing their time because they think your content is valuable for them. </p>
<p>They want to learn or discover something.</p>
<p>So: focus on that. Don't write just for yourself. <strong>Write as an influencer. Write for your community.</strong></p>
<h1>and that's why... you shouldn't focus on that 0.00$</h1>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/zero-1426642_12803f4ce.png" width="780" height="808"/></p>
<p>After all of that, you got the point.</p>
<p>You got that the <strong>0.00$ doesn't mean anything about your value </strong>or your contents.</p>
<p>It's just a signal to keep focusing on the platform and on your following.</p>
<p>To keep improving your content, to keep entertaining your users. </p>
<p>Do that everyday with <strong>constintency</strong> and you're getting results. At least, that's how it works anywhere else in life and on the internet. </p>
<p>See ya!</p>
