Introduction to steemit
Before we look at how to make money using Steemit let’s look at what Steemit actually is. Steemit is a relatively new social media platform where you can get paid to blog online, upvote blog posts and also comment. Steemit Background: Founded in 2016 by Ned Scott and also Daniel Larimer. Steemit is powered by new blockchain technology and uses cryptocurrency (Steem & SBD) to reward its users who are active on the platform. This includes: Writing a blog article Uploading images Commenting on other blog articles Upvoting other blogs Upvoting other comments. Users of the platform are paid in both Steem Power and also in SBD (Steem Backed Dollars) This can then be sold and transferred back to your bank account.
Steemit also allows for mining, but it’s not the primary way to earn rewards/money on the site. Every day new Steemit currency units are created by the network and then these are distributed to the users on the platform. The more you are active and engaged on the platform the more rewards you will receive. This is how you make money using Steemit.
