07: The mechanics of rewards (repost)

The blockchain technology is solving vast number of issues worldwide especially in the economic, social and financial sector. Since it emergence people has blessed the day they discovered it's usefulness to the modern age. The world keeps changing, new inventions aggregate every now and then.
Most of my cryto friends came on board through steem while some came through whaleshares. The earning aspect is the anchor of motivation and faith that blockchain technology is the long term solution.
Many lack the experience needed to survive on the chain. Many think "oh.. All I have to do is write a post and start earning." Many do this and at the end of the day get disappointed for low or no rewards. They don't understand the mechanics of rewards. Some avid writers think rewards are earned by their writing prowess, Some PRO photographers think rewards are earned by their photography skills and camera type, Some musicians think rewards are earned because of their angelic voice and quality gadgets but it goes beyond this.
Rewards and community
Rewards are earned because curators exist. Everyone on the chain is a curator as long as you have a stake - No stake, means No reward can be created. For rewards to grace every intellectual work published on the chain people must hit the arrow icon (^) of that chain. The basic factor that makes people reward a post is the presence of "friendship" or "quality". Once quality emits from a post, in some cases ghost curators sniffing around will do the needful. We all know for this to happen it takes like forever before the poster is noticed and fished out for showcase.
Some find it easy to get rewards; why is this so? My experience has taught me this, "The best rewards is in the people you become friends with or know" —yes! you read that right. You need to realize this, It is when people know you, you get rewarded at a Godspeed rate! Many need to tap into the power of networking, when I say networking I mean engaging in communities, interacting with people and working for a community. This has never failed to catch many fish in the sea of reward pool.
Someone has rightly said; “To get the best on the chain for your intellectual work, blog 20% and network yourself 80%.”
Food for thoughts right? , the words in quote taught me the mechanics of rewards, if you are not a financial investor or a whale, this is the secret of rewards. You see people earn at the speed of lightning; some of them got lucky because they came early under the roof of PRO content creating, sharedrop and lastly being known or invited by powerful whales. It is not everyone that can have such luck to be like them.
What do you do to make rewards crown your post? you've got to blog 20% and network yourself 80%. why? as the chain gets robust due to the influx of new users it will become hard for rewards to disperse to great content creators.
To make your contents fly to the moon, build the reward of friendship and community membership, start interacting, start engaging, join contest, attend curation shows, work for communities before you know it those rewards you sowed into the networking soil will yield huge dividend of tokenize rewards on the chain, on it's own accord rewards will clench your post.
For example “Instead of writing 1000 to 3000 word post per day with no or low rewards to show for it, take a breather, join communities, network yourself, after this, to test the power of creating rewards for networking yourself before the rewards goes to the chain, publish a single photograph of yourself or family or write few character word count post, to your amazement you will earn rewards far better than that quality post created without connection or community membership.” The anguish of no rewards will vanish, I have tested all this and came to this conclusion -- The best rewards is in the people you know or community you are active in.
The faster people spend 80% of their time networking themselves, the faster 20% of their published work will earn jumbo rewards at the speed of lightning. I have plugged my mind into the socket of newtorking with people, the end result has paid huge dividend on my crypto portfolio. I hope my readers dim of this secret do same today. Switch your mindset to the networking power of the chain and see that post spike in rewards. Thank you.
