Engrave - A Blogging Platform For Steem Giving Birth To The 'Steem Games Blog'
View this post on Hive: Engrave - A Blogging Platform For Steem Giving Birth To The 'Steem Games Blog'
I have moved all my content away from the now centralized and controlled Steem blockchain to the decentralized Hive blockchain.
Looks like interesting ideas, worth to spend some time for diging deeper into them.

It is a minimum viable product at the moment but the directions is promising.

This is a very promising service, I will surely check it out. It will make people's SteemIt articles more accessible to external readers. The fact that it is an all-in-one package is a huge benefit for people who don't know there way around WordPress.
I'm a bit bothered by the 15% fee, though, but as it seems to be the norm these days, and because they are providing this service for free, I don't think it's an unfair charge...
Personaly to me the line between "go in-run away" is usually somewhere between 10%- 15%.

I need to check the list, but the only service I can think of that charges you less than 15% is Share2Steem.
The people that provide those services have costs that need to be covered too, I completely understand that. And I just did the math. If a post earns $0.50, 15% would be $0.075. It's not huge, but for a newcomer I can imagine it's quite a big deal.
A $2 post would be worth only $1.7. In times when Steem is priced as low as it is today, that is a big difference.
All depends of course of what you get in return, and although I haven't checked out Engrave properly yet, I think you get a lot of useful extra benefits for that 15%...
Thank you for your opinion. We're still trying to figure out the best solution which could satisfy both users and ENGRAVE team. There is a chance that we could lower it a bit, but our costs are quite high at the beginning. We will do our best, as our goal is not to abuse authors for profit making but to help Steem ecosystem grow with valuable bloggers from outside of Steem network.
I personally know a lot of great bloggers without technical skills and I just want them to be here on Steem. We tried to simplify blogs' creation as much as possible just for those kinds of people which are really needed for the entire network :)
I'm part of a @wise-team witness - check out what we do for Steem community!
There's no need to justify yourself. I think most extra services take 10 to 15%. And at least you're providing an opportunity to reach a broader audience.
I haven't had the time yet to investigate your service further. Can people for example monetize their blog by placing third-party ads? 'Cos that would even give them the opportunity to earn extra rewards.
The reason I'm not a fan of that 15% is that it's hard enough for anyone but a few exceptions to earn her on SteemIt. I'm here for a year now, and my posts rarely make more than $2. So especially for newcomers, having to give up another 15% is though.
But I completely understand you guys have costs that need to be covered. Nothing in this world comes for free.
And the more we can
the more beneficial it will be for the Steem blockchain.
I actually do have a Wordpress blog from which I post to SteemIt every once in a while - if I don't forget to use it - but it is not easy to get traction, even though I have a background in marketing.
The fact that you offer analytics, seo, One Signal and especially the content exchange are features that attract me to your service.
this sounds pretty cool. I will for sure will take a look into it right now :D
Engrave will soon have its introduction post, stay tuned and follow @engrave :)
I will be waiting for it. 😉

This is the kind of stuff we need to get the mainstream users onboard the platform.
This feature is a part of Engrave for Teams which will be released soon :)
Will we be able to upgrade a normal blog to that feature?
hmmm... I am not sure...
@nicniezgrublem: hmm?
