1 week on Steemit. Random thoughts... 😎
Howdy,
(That's how we midwestern U.S. people say hello or hi)
I've been on steemit for about a week now.
- Anyone want to know what I think?
I've made a few posts...
- Save big on cigarettes
- Should be of interest to the 1 in 5 people who smoke nowadays...
- This post was upvoted by one people and looks to pay out $0.32!!!
- Thanks @hr1
- woohoo 😎
- Bloodlines of the Illuminati book hosted on CIA web site.
- I find it totally bizarre the the US CIA is hosting this copyrighted book that claims there are 13 family dynasties ruling the world.
- ...and have been for centuries...
- Don't you find that bizarre?

- Fed Up with Facebook
- #Facebook is old technology combined in a new way
that will be replaced
by new #technology combined in a better way.- Hopefully #steemit,
as it grows and earns that privilege...

- 2 decades webmastering on the Internet and looking forward to the next big thing (?) ... steemit ...
- My #introduceyourself post...
- I have been webmastering for over 20 years now.
Always in search of the holy grail of making a living again off the Internet.
I actually did for about 5 years.
Then I got a "real job" and demoted webmastering to a hobby.- Steemit will continue to draw disillusioned webmasters.
Rather than have to maintain a site, they will try this platform to make a buck.

- This post was upvoted by I think by what may be bots and then later 3 people and looks to pay out $0.01!!!
- woohoo 😎
I've replied to a few posts
- Several articles laying out ideas on how steemit can move forward.
- One article promoting the danger of adding fluoride to drinking water.
- My real job is Chief Operator of a small town water plant...
- An article about cryptocurrency and my hate of fiat "money."
- Perhaps crypto is a good fiat "money?"
- Another article about Iran
- Ties in to the previous point. Fiat money.
The Rothschild dynasty and other 5 or 6 families,
who control every single central bank in the world except 3-5 depending on which report you believe,
want control of Iran's central bank.- Also North Korea. So now you know the rest of the story about those 2 countries.
You're welcome...
- Also North Korea. So now you know the rest of the story about those 2 countries.

The collective genius.
One of my best ideas, that I've not seen anyone talking about is collaborative posts.
- Think... wiki...
- A lot of people sharing a little bit of knowledge could create an authority on a myriad of topics.
- Posts would need to remain open
- for editing by anyone (not just the original poster)
- indefinitely (not just for 7 days).
a #jabi to improve steemit
jabi = Just Another Bright Idea = pronounced jab eye
- A term I've been using over 2 decades now.
- Feel free to use it...
I am not a 1 jabi man
- Feel free to use it...
- Most "how to succeed on steemit" articles say to pick a topic to blog about.
- That is sooooo not me.
And I bet there are many more like me...
- That is sooooo not me.
- How about if I could group my posts under topics of my choice?
- That way, if you visit my "homepage" (sorry, not sure what you call it here)
- You can choose to look at my gardening posts
if that's what you're in to,
and not bother with my political posts,
if that's not your thing...

Random thoughts...
- I was very glad to run across Steemit Emojis Master List
- Very cool 😎
- I was let down the editor could not transform :D or :::rolleyes::: into emojis...
- Very cool 😎
- I read somewhere there are only 35 "whales"
- That seems to be like the real world, where great power is concentrated in a few people to rule...
- I find it rather amusing that when promoting steemit a lot of people complain about how people on facebook post pics of what they are eating and such...
- Then I see one of the most popular kind of posts is photography.
- Nothing against you photographers... I just find it kinda boring...
I have enjoyed some of the gardening pics!

- I saw #Engadget has started using steemit
- It was quite amazing to see within about 12 hours their reputation score was already over 50.
- They had made 2 posts and had about 100 followers.
- How in the world???
Makes a guy think...

How in the world!?!?
Marketers of steemit...
Note this fact of life...
- Steemit reminds me of my network marketing days...
- It sounds intriguing to a lot of people...
- Who will waste a lot of time and effort for zero reward.
- They will search for and read all kinds of 'this is how to succeed on steemit' articles.
- but they don't have what it takes to succeed
- That may sound harsh, but it shouldn't.
- Those people can still "profit" from this platform
as it grows and becomes the defacto social network.
- Those people can still "profit" from this platform
- It sounds intriguing to a lot of people...
This The Likelihood of MLM Success article states...
In the first year of operation, a minimum of 50% of representatives drop-out.
After five years of operation, a minimum of 90% of representatives have left the company.
By year 10, only those at or near the top have not dropped out – making it safe to say at least 95% of representatives have dropped out.
To become the defacto social media platform, steemit needs to
- focus more on the 95% who will drop out when they realize they likely won't make a dime.
- yet who will gladly be "customers" if offered the best of the best social networking platform.
Things I have yet to find:
- An easy way to find topics that interest me.
- Tags seem to be the key, but the list shown on the homepage is WAY too small.
- If I use search, I can find a page for that tag, but then to find it again, I have to do another search.
- Examples
- I just had a jabi!
- I think I will make a post of the topics that interest me
Then bookmark that post, so I can easily find the list.
😎 That should work. Thanks multitasking brain...
- I think I will make a post of the topics that interest me
- Tags seem to be the key, but the list shown on the homepage is WAY too small.
- An easy way to make friends.
- I'm the first of my real world and online world family and friends to be on steemit.
- I've yet to "click" with any new people I've met through this platform.
- Perhaps if I joined some of the chatrooms on other sites mentioned in so many articles here.
- Perhaps I'm expecting too much from >>>this<<< social platform?
- I think this is due to lack of an easy way to have groups or communities or whatever you want to call them.
- I'm the first of my real world and online world family and friends to be on steemit.
Conclusion
I have stumbled onto steemit and it is good.
- I am hopeful it will make a few tweaks and become GREAT.
