Who benefits from Steemit

If you’re willing to be social — to share of yourself — then you can succeed in the Steem social economy.

Steem is a revolutionary breakthrough for content creators who want to get paid. Facebook, Twitter and Reddit do not pay you. They make all the money from your hard work.

At YouTube, some creators can earn a percentage of Google’s take on the Adwords ads Google presents to your viewers. You have to be earning millions of views on a regular basis, though, if you want to make good money.

Steem is different. It’s a complete economy that pays you to create value for consumers in the form of content — content you might already be creating anyway.

If you’re not interested in creating content, you can still make small amounts of money (paid in Steem Power) curating with a minimal daily time investment, since your curation rewards decline after 20 upvotes per 24 hours anyway.

Keep in mind that Steem is not just another channel for dumping generic content you already create — although you can still get paid for this, if curators decide to support you.

The best-paying content right now is media that relates to yourself, personally, and to Steem. This is already changing, with some curators seeking out content about anything other than Steem and Steemit.

So Steemit is for anyone who wants to earn money for being social in their spare time by creating and curating content: independent workers, freelancers, stay-at-home moms, students, kids, the elderly — anyone with something to say who’s willing to do it in a constructive way.
