RE: $0.00, $0.00, $0.00. Hey, At Least I Can't Go Lower Than $0.00
Maybe you have the wrong perspective. Steemit is not for good permanent content creators. For Steemit you must create ephemeral content, whose span life is about 24 hours. You should focus on how to catch attention in the tiny moment people look at the title list. For example with a beautiful photo of a butterfly on a leaf.
Everybody has been misguided with the idea that Steemit is for blogging original content and not, it is not for serious content. In fact, Steemit is just more Facebook than Facebook. The only different here that you have to post the very same thing you post in Facebook but using your own words.
If you make an analysis of the infrastructure available to make your content, you only can get one conclusion:
The strategy for Steemit is "write and forget"
Sadly, because it could be a much better platform. Maybe Synereo will fit the expectative of a real content platform powered by blockchain.
Good input - I do a lot of "permanent" work here.. Maybe I should also look into Synero? but lately just this one site is taking all my time!
Synereo will be available maybe in six months.... For the moment I am buying Amps, the crypto currency of Synereo that will power all their blockchain 2.0....
there isn't a wrong perspective, only the misapplication of tactics and strategies to achieve a goal. i'm not actually trying to make money. i'm trying to understand value, in the context of a space like steemit. there are people here who want more than to write and forget. people with short attention spans don't matter to the world of value anyway. they do not contribute, and can only consume. content keeps steemit flowing but value makes people come back.
But, you realize that in 30 days your content is "frozen" in the blockchain and there is not more votes and no more comments. So, your content in Steemit is valuable, in all possible meanings of the word valuable, for this tiny period of time. After that the possibility of interaction are almost zero. In fact, for that reason there is not a necessity of a search tool in Steemit because it will take you to an inactive post buried in the blockchain.
I think that Steemit is a genial idea (maybe poorly implemented and worst executed) but right now, it is not clear for me what niches Steemit cover exactly.
For example, somebody read one of your post one year later, what are the possibilities that you are writing about the same topic? How this person can look for similar content in your lengthy blog history? Or are you going to use use a different account for each topic in order to keep some kind of order in your production....
Again, the infrastructure is oriented to target the people with short attention span....
Steemit still beta... It means there is time to make the necessary changes... 😄
these are some of the aspects that cause me to wonder if steemit will survive. i guess there will always be people with short attention spans. there should be a place for comments on "dead posts" somewhere on the profile page. i feel the same about accessing my old comments and replies. if they're are in the blockchain forever, why not? i've taken to saving significant comments and replies that are not on my posts. it helps me monitor my writing. i hadn't thought much about having multiple accounts. it seems like playing chess against yourself. could be useful.
