From Lurker to Earner: My 30‑Day Plan to Grow on Steemit

Hey Steemians! I’ve been exploring how to use Steemit not just to post, but to actually build relationships, learn, and earn. I’m sharing my simple 30‑day plan—feel free to steal it, remix it, or call me out if I miss anything.

Why I’m here

• Learn by doing: publish consistently, get feedback, iterate.
• Meet builders and creators in niches I love.
• Grow Steem Power for long-term influence and curation rewards.

My content themes

• Bite-sized how‑tos: 5–8 tips you can apply today.
• Creator notes: lessons learned from trying tools, workflows, or side projects.
• Community spotlights: shout‑outs to underrated posts and people.

The 30‑day posting schedule

• Week 1: 2 posts (intro + first how‑to)
• Week 2: 3 posts (how‑to, community spotlight, quick update)
• Week 3: 3 posts (case study, tips, Q&A)
• Week 4: 2 posts (progress report, next‑steps plan)

Today’s mini how‑to: Make your posts easier to read

• Hook first: start with a bold promise or question.
• One idea per section: use short paragraphs and bullet points.
• Add 1–3 original visuals: screenshots, sketches, or a simple chart.
• Cite and link sources.
• End with a clear question so people know how to engage.

Curation game plan (10–15 minutes/day)

• Follow 20–30 creators in your niche and 3–5 communities.
• Upvote promising posts 5–30 minutes after they publish for better curation rewards.
• Leave thoughtful comments (one tip, one question, one compliment).
• Power up part of your liquid rewards weekly to grow Steem Power.

Tools I’m trying

• Notes app for drafts and templates.
• A simple habit tracker to keep the streak alive.
• Image editor or whiteboard to make quick diagrams.
• Optional: a calendar reminder for curation windows.

Ground rules I’ll stick to

• Post only original work; credit images and data.
• Quality over quantity; if a post isn’t ready, I’ll delay it.
• Be kind in comments; disagree with ideas, not people.
• Security first: use my posting key; keep master key offline.

Milestones I’m aiming for (by Day 30)

• 8–10 published posts
• 50+ meaningful comments left
• 10+ creators I’ve genuinely interacted with
• A small but steady growth in Steem Power

Shout‑outs
In upcoming posts, I’ll feature 3 creators each week whose work helped me. Drop your best recent post in the comments and tell me one thing you learned publishing it.
