RE: How I Went From Steem Agnostic to a Steem Believer in 48 Hours or Less
I have 3 million followers on my own website and i wont bring them here, just because i don't believe any of my follower is going to make any money by themselves. I tried myself as a "normal" user and couldn't make it, so they wont make it neither. Only personnalities are making money on here, last month anyone promoting steemit could make money, but today even that is gone.
There is no truth to that statement. Yes it's true people can make money by being celebrities or by having social connections to bring to Steemit but interesting or insightful blog posts get rewarded every day. Not every blogpost is anarcho-cap.
True! I'm just a normal bloke and my second post earned $2600.
They also have paid up voters working around the clock to up vote hidden gems and provide them some funds and build the network.
Again, self-defeating attitude. Just like any other form of media, anyone who wants to make money needs to be able to market themselves and gain a following. Those 3 million followers of yours didn't just fall out of the sky; I'm sure you worked for them. Same here. This is not free money given out to anyone just for showing up, and if that's what your web site followers are seeking, they would indeed be disappointed. It is a platform and an opportunity for those willing to work for it and bring value.
Well said, smooth.
I am of the same belief man. If you want something, work for it and I'm working hard on it. You mentioned some great facts on which I'm agree with you. For the same type of people, I wrote this article. I'd be more than happy if you read it and give remarks on my writing style.

But 'Value' is the challenge ... One mans meat is another man's poison...not so? "How to survive a Lion attack in the wild" article may provide value to an African, but is of no value to a New Yorker !!
@najoh Your "3 million followers" are not following you because you pay them directly and that shouldn't be why you would encourage them to give us a try here. It is safe to assume the "3 million" people that follow you do so because you provide them unique or informative content. Those same followers on Steemit would be able to both monetize your efforts here beyond your wildest dreams and be rewarded themselves in the proccess. Think of a post that got 3 million upvotes? Dream big my friend not small. - Cheers PJ
Point number one, all my followers are french, so not really the best audience. I'm not a celebrity but they are following my brand. I tried Steemit to have some fun and to see if it was possible to make any real money coming out of nowhere, and the truth is, it's as difficult as creating your own blog, brand or business. So why create it here when you can create it somewhere else.
That's exactly what I was thinking - get them on here and up-voting your content - then pay them a percentage of your earnings
This isn't just another blog--just another blog will have a centralized network. Have you not learned anything? None owns this shit. It's yours to make and to share.
