RE: AskSteem: How much have you earned on Steem this month so far?

in #asksteem4 years ago

Last 30 Days,

600 in curation
2000 in SP + 2000 in liquids (from posting and I had a couple large payouts this month)
This (if I had sold it) has a street value of ~$800

I do not know about Steem-Engine tokens, but I would predict it is a couple hundred STEEM worth. I take some out for powering up, I stake some and have my @babytarazkp account distribute it through @curangel. It votes with multiple tokens and significant value 100 times per day to about 400 accounts a week.

For the first time in about 2 years, I took a little STEEM to play the markets (about 1500) recently, but it will eventually come back with a bit more (if all goes to plan).

I have been buying and exchanging shitcoins like EOS over the last year and a half and have increased my SP by about 50,000 STEEM in that period. It is because of this that my curation returns are so high, (and because of the EIP of course).

While these post earning numbers are likely among the highest on the platform, I do think that my content brings value and will bring more in the future. My 28 day tweet impressions from my posts alone, are 60k. I also think that while not everyone is likely to be able to produce as consistently as me, over the last year there are people like @blewitt, @slobberchops and @goblinknackers who have bought in similarly and are enjoying the benefits of compunding Steem Power through curation and posting. I urge everyone to post something, and as many as possible to bring their A-game and share it with the world.

At the next full bull run, I think we need to find users across multiple disciplines and boost them to the moon and get their names out there as this will get traction. Then we have to have fantastic UIs and UXs for new users to enjoy and get value from, even if they don't earn from them. When it comes to online earnings, it requires a great deal of consistent work for most people to get something significant, and Steem is no different - but, pretty much everyone with a brain (many without) can earn something here, which can't be said about pretty much any other platform out there.

While the focus on earnings is not ideal for onboarding end users, if approaching people who really are looking to earn from their content, it can help to see that it is possible. What they would have to realize however that the best way to earn is a hybrid approach from content creation and investing, as this allows for relationship development and the ability to support others who are value generating for the platform.

The value of investing in STEEM POWER is it can be actively used to invest into people who support the generation of value in the STEEM held. It is an ecosystem after all, and results are going to vary across individuals due to a host of factors.

Sort:  

The content creators I am associated with in multiple fields make money from the places they post. It is a very hard sell to expect them to "invest" in STEEM in order to get their message out.

They will spend some money to buy tools to help in posting, but the ides of investing in a crypto coin is a big turn-off in my experience. They will go back to Pinterest, fb, or Insty, where they do not have such a hurdle.

Investors and content creators are two different breeds for the most part.

Not in my experience, as those who are looking to monetize are willing to invest their time in, like you said, tools. Steem Power is a tool, and it is how one uses it that can make a significant difference.

They will learn, or miss out.

What categories are the content creators you know posting in, @tarazkp. Mine are mostly authors, artists and coaches with no patience for the intricacies of STEEM. If they are travel or food peeps, they can get into tasteem or travelfeed and do well, but coming in here with your fiction is a sure path to crickets.

The people I know are entrepreneurs that are willing to put in the steps on and off platforms. The intricacies of Steem are nothing in comparison to what it takes to run a business or shop ones talents, skills and wares. I think people who are limiting themselves to online are well, limiting themselves. I do not know any purely online authors who live well off it, but I do know playwrights, poets and authors who use online platforms to enhance their reach. All of them put more than their skill in to get to where they are.

Are these people succeeding on STEEM now?
