For most users, when thinking about steemit, they believe that they can generate an income from upvotes from other steemit users. This is however only half the potential that is offered by steemit.

Steemit offers a free platform to develop your business

I have been trying to earn money online for several years. I had many strategies and it took me very long to make some profitable business. When it comes to earn money online, I realized that I always needed two things: to have a platform and to generate traffic. You need a platform where you can promote what you offer and you need people to see this offer. You can offer affiliate products, your own products, you can build a list or promote a referral link. Whatever you do, you need a platform to do so and you need people to see it.

With steemit you get such a platform for free! You can write whatever you want on your steemit posts and you have the possibility to include links into your articles. These links could send the users to a product or a service that you want to sell.

Steemit helps you to get traffic

In addition to offering you a platform, you can create relationships with other users. If you write interesting articles and if you power up, you will get new followers with every article you produce and at the same time you increase the possibility of having customers among them.

If you want to start your own blog, you will need a lot of time and effort to get any visits at all. With steemit you have a head start already. Thanks to the high ranking of steemit on Google and Alexa, you will directly be placed much better on search engines with your articles than if you started your own blog.

When you are on steemit you have tons of possibilities to present your article to the community over news, hot and trending sections. You can ask people to resteem your article or even pay upvote bots to give it more presence.

Use steemit to build a business

The articles your write on steemit pay you after 7 days but they stay on steemit for much longer. They also stay on websites like busy.org and other platforms built on the steem blockchain.

When you use steemit only to get paid after 7 days, you miss out of the potential of this platform. Internet Marketing specialists would counsell you to find a niche, a subject that you are interested in, to write about it and to find ways to monetize your content with links to affiliate offers, to your own products or to referral links. Nothing prevents you then to promote your articles on other social medias like facebook or instagram to get traffic from people that are not necessarily steemit members.

The big advantage that you have when trying to build up a business on steemit is that you won't have to think too much to find new ideas for your steemit articles.
