What is Steemit: A short intro
Hi fellow Steemians!
Just leaving this here in an attempt to help newcomers! 😁
What is Steemit?
Steemit is a revolutionary concept that brings social networking to the next level by fusing the blockchain technology with a social media platform. Steemit is different to “traditional” social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter in that it rewards its users for posting quality original content.
How do you make money on Steemit?
Income on Steemit is generated from posts based on how many users up-voted the content and how powerful each of those votes were. Your can generate anything from $0.01 to thousands of dollars for your original content.
“If they pay you for posting content, doesn’t it leave the platform open to spam?” I hear you say. No it doesn’t, thanks to curation rewards.
Curation rewards are rewarded to Steemits users for, well, curating posts. Curators are any Steemians that upvote, comment, flag and/or resteem posts. Through the use of upvotes and resteems, good quality content rises to the “trending” tab and eventually to the “hot” tab. This exposes the higher quality posts to a wider audience making it easier for the everyday user to find a good read!
On the other end of the stick we have flagging. Flagging can be seen as the counter to the upvote, lowering the income from the post in question and making the post harder to find.
Eventually with enough flags the post is removed from public view and will generate no more income. The type of post that gets flagged are spam posts, incorrectly tagged posts, referral links, “copy+paste” posts and any other sort of plagiarism.
There are many bots on Steemit devoted to flagging posts that fall in the previously mentioned categories, in an attempt to make Steemit “clean”. I must say though it seems that sometimes these bots flag posts for no reason, which can be disheartening at best. Also a paradox is created with Steeitm bots that flag spam content as they themselves end up being spammers, but hey always chose the lesser of two evils.
What should i blog about?
We can think of Steemit as being a de-centralized socialmedia platform for the people! You can post anything you see fit on Steemit from “good morning” posts to porn, though your post will be subject to community curation as mentioned previously and the community tends to be scrutinous about certain matters.
I hoped this helped you! Feel free to follow, upvote and resteem! 😁
