Here’s Why a Post by a Total Noob Made $545.75
Without proper formatting, followers or any experience on the platform
Give Value
Even though I didn’t know how to use Markup and the post was not formatted for Steemit, CONTENT is more important than design. People found VALUE in my post because:
My article was over 11 pages long in my google docs. It showed the reader how they could apply the tips in their life to sell and persuade, but more importantly, it opened with a story…
Open with a Story
When you open a post with a good story, it creates an “information gap” with curiosity and people will want to keep reading to see how the story ends.
Expert Marketer Derek Halpern from Social Triggers* says that while images and good headlines grab attention, “curiosity helps you KEEP attention.”
Stories are the key to Persuasion
Which would you rather read? A boring article about research, or an entertaining STORY demonstrating all the key points that the researchers proved.
People LOVE stories. Even before TV, people gathered around campfires to tell stories. Stories convince and persuade like gangbusters.
My nephew Brandon is one of the best storytellers I know. He makes everyone laugh hysterically until our stomachs are begging for mercy.
Not surprisingly, he has won several awards for being the top sales person at work.
Back It Up with Proof
I didn’t just give advice. I backed up each sales tip and point with cited research from my decades of studying consumer/buyer Psychology so people could see that I was legit.
Shock Value
Nobody expects to see sales and persuasion hacks from the Girl Scouts, so my story and tips were outrageously unexpected, and made people curious.
Curious people will move mountains (and even read super long articles) to satisfy that curiosity.
Emotional Contagion
Like I wrote in my article, Studies show that strong emotions are actually contagious. The real name for this is actually “Emotional Contagion.”
Basically I was EXCITED when I wrote the article. This is a topic I love! People who read my words could literally feel my excitement. Sounds woo-woo but studies* back this up.
5 Hacks Review:
1.Don’t give advice, instead SHOW people how they can benefit.
2.Use good stories to pull readers in
3.Back up your tips with real research.
4.Do the unexpected.
5.Be EXCITED about what you share.

Thank you, Sarah.
Excellent ideas for me to implement.
Thank you!
really educative post sarah, great guide for a newbie....thanks sarah
Thanks, glad you found it helpful.
Well, you didn't get the upvotes for your microphone quality that's for sure! :D
Thanks for the compact presentation on how to write an engaging article, tho.
Microphone quality is just fine. Check your audio program or your speakers.
No snowflake, the audio is quite scratchy, with pops.
It is OK to criticize without fear of the sun no longer rising.
Sarah does not need you to build a bubble for her.
웃 hahaha true tho
the mic is fuzzy and clicking put on headphones
One of the best concise presentations on steemit I have watched, thanks for posting Sarah.
Thanks for the compliments and for watching.
Paul Mahon WHAT!!! Then you are in dark about STEEM still.
I would argue the point but you would drag me down to your level and beat me with experience. Instead of adding vitriol why don't you post helpful links to your expert advice.
Thank you for this! I'm still working on my steem blogs! Trying to find my "voice/story"!
Thank you Amanda.
you are so cute and humble, with great info
Thank you for adding value to my life
You're so welcome. Thanks for watching.
I have played with d.tube for a little while and unlike UA-cam there is like no audience there, UA-cam is still king.
These tips you told us can be applied to so many writing situaltions. Well, Thanks so much and congratz! Hope you post more.
Thanks
Wow, this is so cool. Your video is so clear and informative. I just found Steemit and I've got TONS to share with this planet and have been working so hard to find the type of media that I could use to express the gifts I've been given. You really motivated me to get going. I'm always going....but I really needed this modem to express. Thanks you for being you so well!
Thanks so much!
I am a good story teller. I love embellishing and already good story with humor.
I am technically challenged and no techie friend or family member to do the work for me, which while making me crazy, may be a good thing.
Anyway. I loved your video and story about how to get started, at least the artistic part, story telling.
It gives me hope and excitement.
Hi Kimberly Ann, Thanks for the compliments. I'm sure your stories will find some readers on Steemit. It can't hurt to try. Best wishes!
I'm just researching to get started with steemit and this made me wish I had hung on to the articles I wrote in University. Thanks ❤️
I wish I had all my old school papers too. Good luck :) Thanks for watching
Sarah M. Jordan I made sure to sub too
How does Steem prevent plagiarism?
They have bots that check for it. I know because they flagged one of my posts because they found it posted on my blog.
Cheetah bot and Steemcleaners bot! And when people dont post their own work, it shows, and they either get flagged (downvoted) or just not upvoted and never get very popular!
Google will also drop one or both versions of a post in search result ranks because it doesn't like 'duplicate content'.
The problem is you can't talk back to the bot. Yes, leave a comment, but on their end, nobody reads it, just other steemers. Just like you can't talk back to a Facebook moderator.
what if you copy article from google instead of other steemit users
QUESTION. what are the copyright fair use policies on Steemit. Are we still allowed to use other people's material if it's under fair use? Can somebody please answer this question and point me in the right direction on information. Thanks
Great question, thanks for watching. I'm going to assume you are talking about public domain material. According to the law, yes. According to Steemit, I am not sure. It can't hurt to try. The worst they can do is remove the post.
I thought that things cannot be removed from the blockchain, it can hurt because if I use movie clips for critique and make money from it when the law says I can't I will face a lawsuit, This is why I'm asking. I've uploaded a videos on Dtube called "nofap Build Your Sexual Energy Leave ya Knob alone" that is just me talking, but if I upload another one I have on UA-cam like "Interracial talk pt2. Edge of Glory" that uses a clip of Lady Gaga in the video will I be in the wrong. I have other videos on YouTue that use a lot of movie material to explain point, on UA-cam I can get away with fair use but on Dtube I'll be making money, I Don't know the rules. Cheers for the reply :)
Real quality video many people would relate to "what I learned from the girl scouts (or even scouts would ) " because rather than a professional person you are closer to them .
Thanks very much for watching and for the thoughtful comment.
i tried to make my account in steemit and i click the link that they give me but i cannot log in because they ask my password but when sign up they ask my password.
Thank you for sharing this information. : )
You are welcome Sandra. Thanks for watching 👍😁
Hello! You are welcome. : )
Well done very delighted to see some one is growing under the roof of great innovations
Thank you kindly!
need your one image for my first blog where i will thanks all of stars who helps me to know about this beautiful community, you also one of my stars who helps me to know about this platform thanks in advance -seeking for your permission
Hey, I love Derek Halpern's stuff too! Smart guy. so cool that you impressed him. One question: why is your article on Steemit written as if you were a male? You write that the girl scout called you, "Sir" and you call yourself a "guy"?
I wrote it in Derek Halpern's voice, ha ha. I usually don't refer to myself as a guy. Thanks for the comment :)
Ah, that also explains all the capitalized words. He does that a lot too ;)
:) I learned from the best.
Thank you so much for sharing those 5 hacks. Sometimes we try to make things more difficult and you made it simple for us to use.
that was the best thing iv watched all night your amazing, i will use all this info. your a clever and funny blogger and women. i wish you all the best.
Thanks so much :)
thank you very much!
Your video is highly qual ...
I'm getting smoldering to join steemit, even though it's too late, but I'll still use it ...
It's not too late. Lots of people still do well on there.
I do all the things you are talking about in my steemit posts, but something is still wrong and I still earn cents, any advices ? Any of those tips worked for me, sorry.
Steemit does not pay as much as it did when it first came out almost 2 years ago.
Where is the place? Which country you are?
so, what was the original article about? do you sell stuff on steemit? whats it about?and how do you make money just writing stories? im in the dark
I don't sell anything on Steemit. I just post content. I linked to my article under the video. Thanks for watching
Thank you
thats great congradulations
Good info thanks for this
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. Good luck on Steemit.
Sarah M. Jordan can't wait to get started X)
Good, good vid. Thanks for sharing.
So, this post is from a year ago, how much have you made since?
Well I haven't been able to retire from it but I have quite a few posts with several hundred dollars on them. Thanks for watching.
How get money have paypal ?
thanks for sharing your story. hello from the capitol of USA! so I have a short book...about 30 pages long...is that too long for steemit?
Lol you’re really proud of this post
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video.
Great video, thanks for sharing Sarah. Following you on Steemit! :D
Thanks
But how to get publicize at the first place as a beginner?
Anyone can join Steemit and post on it.
Yeah there are people, that their upvotes are worth $300
How did you withdraw the money? DO they pay through paypal? What if one doesn't want to get a bitcoin just money?
Video's thumbnail's beautiful so I didn't watch thinking that it's just another pretty face.
Moments later...
I decided to watch. CLICKED. Watched. And found whispering to myself: "Beauty with brain".

Great video
Thank you!
such a cute face
Thanks
did you invest in your steem power?
I cash out my steem and buy bitcoin with it.
thanks and i will subscribe.
Thanks for watching.
Hmmm, I first heard of Steemit a few days ago and visited the site. I thought it was a neat concept, but figured I would not have anything to offer for this to be worth my time. But, after this video, I think I will give it a shot using the technique you shared in this video.
Thanks! Good luck.
Steemit is great but there are too many spammers and people just ripping off material to make a quick few cents.
I love posting on there but I do make a very small amount per post unless I use an upvote like @minnowbooster.
I think you hugely under estimate natures best exploiters, google cant even solve it you think this random bum fuck kid who came up with a ponzi on youtube can compete with google get out the dream world.
Ingo Michalski yeah but the bots don't do a great job flagging spam and plagiarism. I keep seeing articles that are weeks or months old news LOL. In the crypto world even 1 day is too old for news.
People are not being paid equally per upvote, when only the rich gets richer, that's called a pyramid scheme.
that is not what a pyramid scheme is actually
@Big Member -- That's funny, but when I showed the steemit business model to a business lawyer and financial advisor, they both called it a pyramid scheme.
They both have experience in crypto currency as well, just an fyi.
Sorry I dumb down the comment to what they said, but I can't explain the way they explained it. Regardless, pyramid scheme nonetheless.
I just read the article very great article, I see why you earn from it good job.
Thanks a bunch.
now it's $0.2 :)
nice
Thanks!
R.I.P 2pac!
I was wearing the shirt when I saw your comment ha ha
I like pictures
I like turtles
★★★★★Awesome Report Thank-you! ★Liked! ★Subscribed! ★Shared & Playlisted! :)
Thanks a bunch
Can you cash it out (exchange for dollars or bitcoins) at the moment?
Every week or so, steemit does a "power down" or something that allows you to cash out and buy bitcoin, which my husband does for me.
I'm a fucking dummy, I understand nothing
Thanks for watching.
help me princess how did u do that ? please can u help me how to earn money ? thanks
Steemit didn't give me a password
Sorry to hear that. Thanks for watching.
How long does it take to put a password
Som fss me to!
Кролик Антон I think it takes time and most of the people on there don't want us to join so don't tell us like the person in the video
No. The system is arranged in such a way that the more people in the system the more expensive the currency is at the stock exchange. Maybe they have any problems with the site? I heard them recently hacked hackers
This causes new signups to Steemit to be disappointed when hardly any of the new signups will see this happen. They need to know that reality of this platform is a great thing to experience and in the distant future MAY experience some post growth so they don't turn into "dead fish" and leave the system. Why don't you say its a GREAT alternative to youtube! that's a benefit! Right? I would opt for telling them about Trevon James who has worked hard for two years on the platform and posts 3 times a day and averages 20 bucks a post! that's reality.

mem, i allready follow you and upvote your every post everyday.

Thanks for the upvotes. My husband Chad handles my steemit funds for me. I've seen posts on steemit on how to withdraw but it is quite confusing.
Sarah M. Jordan oooooohhhhhh mem............
Am just getting on Steemit. You inspired me! Will follow you as soon as I figure it out. Am a writer and entered my first post entitled "Investing in cryptocurrency can be challenging!" but haven't been able to locate it yet! Sometimes a little "girl power" goes a long way!
BITCONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT
I see you're a fan of crypto...thanks for watching :)
The money doesn't come from nowhere, someone has to lose for you to gain and the more participants it has the more it generates then when it halts it begins to lose value exactly like a ponzi scheme.
Please take your scarcity mentality somewhere else.
alright princess money from thin air. Luckily for you your not in the losing category of the transactions, im not dumb enough to invest however i'll stick to my $213,000 profit since starting from £100 in 2015. bitcoin is the original gee. a ponzi is a ponzi regardless of how stable or drawn out it is, Its the reason speculaters didnt want to intial invest in bitcoin because they thought it was a bubble, steem is actually a bubble, its doomed from its invention like fiat currency(with interest systems(you need more people circulating and using the money to keep it incheck with inflation from the continious printing of money being matched with interest to offset the collapse but it only buys time the money doesnt exist it will collapse at some point) the shit crypto is tryna make a move away from. But you keep participating in the ponzis for a quick buck idgaf i'm at a point where i can live compfortably made from nothing but smart trading and mining.
regardless just like BITCOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNECT you are a participant and a spreader of the ponzi and you are responsible for old as people losing their homes because their stupid as fuck and just buy STEEM to be taxed to pay you. and unless more people is added to the ponzi then it will crash at that point if more people participate then it drags out the ponzi like fiat currency with interest.
Nimisidiv What Ponzi scheme are you talking about? Lol. It's called mining, moron. Proof of brain, not proof of work, and it's stake based. The blockchain prints tokens (inflation) to pay out rewards, it doesn't use investors' funds to do it. Name one Ponzi scheme where you can start earning without having to invest a dime? I hope by now you have realized how totally stupid those comments you left are.
Decades of study? How old are you?
Thanks for watching. I'm 35.
cute sob
Thanks for watching.
I just started hope I can do it...harleytoots

Thanks for watching.
beautiful woman , nice voice
Thanks! I've never been complimented on my voice before.
You are beautiful !!!!
Hallo
Great, so the marketing and sales 'content' I''m trying to escape on UA-cam, facebook, twitter, instagram, etc. is going to be annoyingly prevalent on Steemit as well. Truly, blockchain technology is changing the world. Yawn.
There are other types of content on Steemit.
Yes, indeed. More diluted everyday it seems.
Thank you for explaining this. Would you work with me on figuring it out. I have so many stories photos, I've traveled all of europe part of africa most of America. Life stories like a blog is what you use.? Look up SBD that is steamits new coin
heres why HOT HOT HOT
Hello mam i follow you
How did it go 'viral' when No1 can see it? Plus all you need is 2 dudes to upvote with tons of steem power. You're post is 'olde college try' at best and based on your presentation, yeah keep working at it...tl:dr
Cool story bro. Thanks for watching and making my video rank higher.
Its something really strange about this site, Sorry.
Her first Steemit Post Made $545.75 after 2 years?
It made $545.75 the first 2 days. Thanks for watching
You Are so Great. Thanks for the video
Sarah, lots of good stuff in that Steemit post, while I agree with the first commenter there, who advised headings and such... But why is the story you open your Steemit post with coming from a male, ( called “sir”) when the reader gets the impression it is ‘your’ story, the way it is presented. it makes the story feel fake, and one loses trust in the voice, while i admit, i read the post almost entirely.
seems a small thing, but still...
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I wrote the post in the voice of marketing Guru Derek Halpern. He was so impressed with it that he interviewed me for the chance to be his copywriter. Sorry you feel that made it seem fake.
ah, thanks for the reply. maybe I missed something, such as you saying it was in his voice... ? or otherwise introducing him, in the article, because i may not have read closely enough... should be a small thing to tweak. the thing is, I would tather hear your voice, be ‘all in’, as it were.
I also sometimes find it odd when people I write with do persona poems, esp. when men write as women, which, to be frank, rarely works, imv.
☃️ best to you... i enjoyed the video, and the look at steemit, on the whole. Have you done much (more with the platform), or do you find it, as it seems others have criticized, to be less than its promise might inspire? btw, natural genius, to heart” a comment that seems to be be partly critical, yet is honest. That really impresses me. And you inspire me. thanks.
haha! . “..so impressed..” well, they do say, “imitation.....flattery”. that just makes me laugh, no offense meant. Btw, please excuse the errors in my next reply. for some reason i have temporarily lost my edit feature... will correct it later.
I "hearted" your comments because although they offered some criticism, you were right! I didn't introduce the post or say that I was writing in someone else's voice. Also I could tell you watched the whole video and read my article. That's the thing with Steemit...you can't go back and edit anything. I do sometimes still post on there but it has been taken over by people who just leave lame comments that say "upvoted. Please follow me!" etc. I liked Steemit better before. Thanks again for your thoughtful comments.
thanks for the post using your advice for my post the follow me on steemit @openthots
Thanks for checking out my video.
It's because you're white. Frankly - I love the steemit platform; but as long as the money people make is based on 'votes' - it's a popularity contest. white women are VERY popular within white society; most white people I see are making big money on Steemit; simply because they are white. I know y'all never want to hear that but it's true; you're only Voting on other white people's articles; you only share and resteem other white people's articles; and if a black person's politics don't lean towards trump, you're downvoting .... all facts; You'll deny them; but ... Denial doesn't disprove Fact. Continued success. As you said, you wrote some b.s, it wasn't your best, and made $500? On the first post? Easy To make money when you're white
I'm sorry you feel that way. My first post was posted in a man's voice with a black male's photo. If you read it, you would know that.
terrible audio
