Steemit is a social community with a blogging platform; we all know that, but for some who had a blogging site before coming on board, apparently it's with little problem as they tend to adapt and flow into the community. Coming up with content is no new thing for them.
The problem of a newbie isn't just about adapting to the steemit community but also blogging in the sense of it. In here, it's not enough to create an account doing nothing and expecting reward someday...No, No, No....Just not going to work that way.
A great blogger actually blogs. Consistency is key here. A blogger writes a lot. No short cut about this, you need to be prolific. You need to put serious time into writing, editing, picking the perfect picture.... Persistence is of great importance.
Planning ahead is key. True to it, a times you may feel dry and clueless, but effective planning ensures you have a line of thought per time such that you have something to come up with.
Bloggers are learners. As important as the learning curve of steemit is, same is the learning curve of a blogger. Blogging is a long shot as such a lot of learning is needed. If you want to stay ahead in blogging, be curious, keep your brain active and keep learning.
Self starters. In here no one tells another to write, since that's the primary use case. So in here, you need to be self motivated. No one gives you deadlines, no preps, no.... Being a self starter means self motivation. It's not enough to have a good idea, you need to act on it.
What do you think is the most important trait of a top blogger? Do you think it's one of these, or something completely different?
Let's get the conversation going!!!
