Welcome to the Twenty Second day of @dragosroua's May 30 Days Writing Challenge. If you haven't heard of the this challenge then have a look at the introductory post.


Today's topic is

What Is, In Your Opinion, A Worthy Post On Steemit? A Post That "Deserves" Its Payout...

This is an interesting question. I think, the answer to this question can not only help many other steemians to make their posts payout worthy but it can also serve as self-analysis for me.
The answer demands me to write the standards that I expect in a worthy post, whether the post belongs to me or the others.

So here are few factors that I consider when judging a post for its worth.

1. Originality/ Creativity

To me, this is the top factor when it come to judging a post. A shrapnel of Originality/ Creativity is better than the plethora of plagiarist bullshit. So if a possesses even a small amount of Originality/ Creativity, then it is certainly worthy of some reward.

2. Idea and Utility

Creativity/originality leads to the creation of new ideas and ideas lead to utility. This world is built around ideas. Behind everything great there is an idea in play; that particular idea serve as the soul and whole thing stands on it. e.g, consider our beloved platform STEEMIT, there was a unique idea behind it's inception i.e. decentralized and censorship free social media. So a post built upon creative ideas for the purpose of helping others is noblest of them all.

3. Content

Doesn't matter what genre a post belong to if it does justice to that particular genre, it deserves an appreciation (payout). e.g. a post written as a comedy should must be good enough to make reader smile or a post intended to be a critical analysis should must be within limits of rationalism and ethics.

4. Effort

A reward deserving post should must show the amount of effort on the part of writer. One can be a non-native english writer but least he/she can do is put his best effort into his posts. Being a non-native english writer does not absolve one from his responsibility to put his best effort.

5. Aesthetics

While all above mentioned things are essential to reward deserving post, the importance of Aesthetics can not be neglected. Aesthetics include visual effects, formatting and structure of the post etc. Aesthetics keep the reader interested and prevent boredom throughout his course of reading.

Sort:  

I do have trouble spotting bad from ok, ok from good and good from great. So I take a more general approach, that's is the market is the market. If your content is good, in the markets opinion it's worth the payout.
