Maybe you will ask why should I use Steemit if there are many platforms in the market, that's why I share the benefits here

If you want to write but do not want to pay hosting, url or pluggings, etc. In this platform you do not have to pay absolutely anything and the only investment you need is your time to write good content.
It is an SEO platform, your content is indexed quickly by Google and this something that neither Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat offer you. It's better to think about a long-term investment than short-term and Steemit gives you that opportunity.
The community in Steemit keeps growing and that is why the engagement is super good, this is one of my favorite parts. Users are really interested in your content and even share it in their profiles.
If you are a photographer and you want to generate income through your photos, Steemit is the best community for that purpose. This does not mean that you have to sell your photos, in Steemit the content is voted by the users and that way income is generated.
Steemit is built under its own blockchain and your content will not disappear, unless the Internet disappears (I doubt it happens).
How to build your personal brand in Steemit:

The first step you must do is open an account in Steemit and choose your username. I recommend that your username be the same as your social profiles, because that way people will find you easily.
Choose the topics that you know very well and that represent your personal brand. For example, my themes in Steemit are the same that I share in my blog or social networks.
Do not copy anything from another blog. One of the requirements that Steemit requires is that the content is original and if you are using a source or photo from another blog, it is advisable to place the author at the end of each post. Steemit is the only platform that cares about the author's content and avoids plagiarism at all costs.
Like any blog, it is important to use images, videos or even infographics if this is the case, so your content will look more attractive. The perfect measure to use cover photo in your posts is 850 x 550 mp.
Once you share your blog post in Steemit, it is advisable to share it in all your social networks, so that your audience knows your content and they also share it.
Steemit is like any other social network which means that you have to engage with other users. The engagement is the gasoline that has all social networks, hence its importance.
Take care of your image, never make offensive comments or write anything that is negative for your image. Everything you share in your personal brand will affect your image in a positive or negative way, aside from Steemit being built under its own blockchain your content can not be deleted.
Steemit has its own Token: Steem
One of the things I like about Steemit is that it's the only social platform that offers you something when you share your content there. Those who know me know that I have been using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in my business for several years. Steemit has a token that we call Steem and that you can generate with each content that you share on the platform, this will depend on what type of content you write, if it is original, if it is popular and if users like it.

Behind Steemit

Steemit is a relatively new company, founded in the first months of 2016 by Ned Scott and Daniel Larimer.

Ned Scott previously worked for Gellert Global Group, which maintains many food companies in the United States. Daniel Larimer is the founder of Bitshares, who has the eleventh capitalization market among all cryptocurrencies.

How can the creation of multiple accounts be prevented?

One of the disadvantages of this type of rewards for users is that people could try to beat the system by creating multiple accounts. These accounts can be used to publish and vote several times in order to manipulate the popularity of publications. Steemit tries to control this irregularity by requiring its users to register through their Facebook accounts.

The concept is not new

The concept of giving this kind of reward to users is not new. At the beginning of 2014, Bubblews and Bonzo Me came up with a similar idea: to pay users for the generation of content. These sites used Paypal to make the payments. Bubblesw closed in November 2015.

Taringa also rewards its users with Bitcoin for sharing and publishing content. However, this has not allowed users to migrate from Facebook and other social networks. It remains to be seen how successful Steemit will be in attracting users.
