## Dear Steemians,
Today we will cover one of the **hottest** subjects on Steemit. - The **Trending Pages**.
For most people on Steemit, the trending pages feels *"unreachable"*, but most people are still eagerly trying to do whatever they can to accomplish what seems to be "*impossible"*.

<center>Perhaps the reason is: *That **nothing** on Steemit **is** impossible!*

The fantastic community have time after time broken the boundaries to what *"impossible"* really stands for.. - ***Impossible have become possible on Steemit.***

### Are you not convinced yet?
- Have you heard about the make-up tutorial that reached $30K?
- Did you miss the second make-up tutorial, the parody one, that reached $10K?
- Do you remember the homeless guy?
- How about the kid who had the best birthday of his life..

<center>**All of that, is because of STEEMIT!**</center>

**The list goes on and on.. And on.. And on.. And on..**
If you missed out on these things.. - I'm sorry, but don't worry. It's nothing near the fantastic things Steemit does ***each*** day for people.

### Let's dive into it right away.

- These posts are **[Trending](https://steemit.com/trending)** at the time I'm writing this:

![trendingposts.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSbQvkssQeRtoJj9dLMCwFKZBcj6JYw7EL2SsqUcUhVfT/trendingposts.png)

### And here's some of the authors:

</center>

- You nailed it! - ***They have tons of followers.***

I have said this a million times already: Followers **are** vital for **success** on Steemit.

Here's a previous posts of mine that covers that topic. 
- [Let's Talk About Followers! - Follow 4 Follow? - Not A Good Idea. Not On Steemit!](https://steemit.com/steemit/@hitmeasap/let-s-talk-about-followers-follow-4-follow-not-a-good-idea-not-on-steemit)

I also recommend this previous post of mine: 
- [The "Ugly" Truth About Steemit Posts.](https://steemit.com/steemit/@hitmeasap/the-ugly-truth-about-steemit-posts)

---

### However..
You won't gain thousands of followers overnight. Like on any other social media platform, in life, friendship or relationships.. - ***Building reputation and trust takes time.***

Seriously speaking.. 
I guess you believe that you're worth every single cent in the world for what you create.. - Most people are like that. For starters. - Suddenly, they'll realize that things happens for a reason.

That superb post you saw the other day with $1500+ in potential rewards.. - Yeah, that author probably spent 2 hours writing it **and** that author have probably been active on Steemit for at least 6+ months.

- ***Time and effort.*** - That's what it takes to crack this nut.

Remember that next time you read a Trending post worth $500+. - Even if the author wrote the entire article in 15 minutes.. - They've most likely spent **hundreds** of hours prior to that!

Another post I'd recommend you to read is this: [If you're new to steem or steemit and you aren't making HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS yet -- let me explain why...](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@intelliguy/if-you-re-new-to-steem-or-steemit-and-you-aren-t-making-hundreds-of-dollars-yet-let-me-explain-why)

That post covers several aspects and I truly recommend reading it.

If you haven't already, make sure you follow: @intelliguy

### And why should you listen to me?
- It's a fair question and I will give you the best possible answer I can.

**One of the reasons are due to my previous posts..**

**As you can see, I've actually been there myself a few times..**

**In the *Trending pages*..**

### And you know what?

Even though it's several months ago.. - I'm **still** proud over the things I've achieved.

Not only due to the results I had.. But also for the fact that I actually made it.

- I know for a fact, that I've had these results.. And I also know, that I **will** be able to reach them again. At some point. - As long as I don't ~~give up~~, and that word doesn't even exist in my vocabulary.

---

To provide you even more facts, so you can decide if you should believe me or not..
Take a look at my Followers. I've been able to get **more than** 55 new followers in the last few days.. - So I'm **_definitely_** doing something right.

### Let's continue.
If you like it or not doesn't matter. Some things will never change.

- Hard work and effort is what it takes to build yourself a good following. - Reliability and Reputation will increase over time, along with new followers.

Also, don't try to be someone you're not. Even if you'll reap amazing rewards by doing that, it won't last long. - Be true to yourself. Be you. - ***Because you are amazing!***

I've seen hundreds of people during my time here, people who's angry, people who feels disappointed and people who is blaming **"the system"** for their lack of results.. - You know what I haven't seen from the same people?

- Plain, simple, honest posts.

Most of them have tried to become someone they can't be. They've tried to be **cryptocurrency-experts** even though they've never heard about it before. - They've tried to be **awesome** authors and simply copied other people's work..

At one point, several months ago, one guy even copied my own story. I didn't earn much from that post.. But I took it as a huge insult. He copied my personal story about my father's death, amongst other things..

***And what did I do?***
- I gathered some evidence and that person's reputation went down the drain.

<center>***He messed up, because he tried to take a shortcut.***</center>

### There are no shortcuts..
If you want to become an established steemian.. If you want to contribute and **afterwards**, in **return** for your contributions be **rewarded**.. - There's only **one way** to go.

- That means hard work. Struggles. Bumps and more bumps..
- You need to work through every failure you have..
- You need to push yourself no matter how hard it gets..

<center>***Are you ready to go the extra mile?***</center>

<center>***That's how you'll end up in the Trending Pages!***</center>
