#1 Break Away from SEO
If you’re sick of playing the SEO game in the hopes of ranking well in google searches, a game that seems to be never ending, consider posting your writing/photography/videos on Steemit.
With a couple appropriate tags for your post, your work can be seen and spread by the audience within the platform.
You can also choose to promote your post with as little or as much money as you’d like to pay to ensure it gets even more exposure.
#2 Concentrated Audience
Steemit is a platform where all types of people congregate and exchange ideas and inspiration. The people who use steemit are there to participate in the community. It’s a one-stop shop to reach people who want to know what you’re posting on a particular topic. You don’t have to venture into random chatrooms and start fake conversations just to plug a link to your blog post. Steemit makes exchanging ideas and information much more real and genuine.
#3 Enthusiastic Community
You can quickly gain a decent and loyal following if you are consistent and actively engage in the community. You don’t need millions of views to make money from advertisers or sponsors, the organic support from your audience will provide your payouts. The platform is still growing and is eager to discover new sources of entertainment and information. You can be that new source.
#4 Established Bloggers/Social Media Personalities Get Support
If you’ve already done the work to establish yourself as a successful blogger or social media personality, your presence will be warmly welcomed on Steemit. The Steemit community is eager to welcome and support reputable individuals who can supply the website with their material and introduce their fans to Steemit in exchange for another wave of supporters from Steemit and of course, healthy payouts.
#5 Get Paid After 7 Days
This payout time encourages the constant production of new material.
Who doesn’t like the idea of knowing for certain that if your post gets upvotes, you will be paid only 7 days later?
#6 Connect Better with Your Audience
What’s really special about Steemit specifically for bloggers, is the fact that you can develop a much more in-depth relationship with your audience by checking out their own Steemit profile and offering your support right back to them either through follows, upvotes, commenting or re-steeming their posts so you can help them achieve greater exposure by utilizing your reach on the platform.
#7 Steemians Unite at Steemfest
Once a year Steemit holds an official Steemfest bonanza where all of those people you’ve met online have the chance to meet in person, face to face and become real friends. The first ever Steemfest was held last year in November in Amsterdam and speaking from experience, it was amazing. Superbly organized, the people were eager to meet and interact, all who attended were sure to take every advantage of this meet up. Steemfest strengthens the community in ways that connecting remotely just can’t achieve.
#8 Great for Networking
Much like I highlighted talking about Steemfest, Steemit is a great way to network with people who are just as ambitious as you to seek out new and innovative ways to get things done. We are all- for the most part- open-minded pioneers at this point. If you’re looking to learn more or teach others or work together to achieve what you’ve got your eyes set on, chances are you can meet the people who will collaborate with you on Steemit.
#9 Blockchain Permanence
Imagine this, you’re hosting your own blog and for whatever the circumstance, you can no longer manage to keep it. Imagine all of your hard work writing, editing, and providing the photos and graphis that you were so proud to have published online. Imagine all of that hard work being deleted forever, never to be discovered by anyone else who may have really benefitted from coming across your material.
Because Steemit is a blockchain based social network, your work will never be deleted. You will always be able to reference a blog post, or re-read an old travel experience, view your photos with the effortlessness of posting your material on Steemit, and without the cost and effort of hosting your own website.
#10 Get Paid in Steem
Steemit pays you in it’s digital currency called Steem. Although there has been some controversy for this coin and many people thought Steem and Steemit would wither away never to be heard of again, both the user base and the coin are making a comeback. With new users flooding into Steemit and the price of Steem gaining a healthy rise despite the now turbulent volatility in all of crypto right now, the long term assessment for Steem looks good. The reason I think will be thanks to the Network Effect. Steem is attached to Steemit, a social networking website that is continuing to grow, thus the longevity that the Network Effect will have on this platform is very promising.

I'm excited to see this post hit over $1,000 when the price of Steem returns to normal ;) You're killing it on here, and you're a great motivator for the newbies. Thanks for making the community darling for everyone, Heidi :)
Hey @avilsd and @heiditravels! Here's a similar post (in Romanian) about the benefits of blogging on Steemit. It's gotten over 1600 views and a lot of great feedback. It would be great if you guys could support it.
https://steemit.com/monetizare-blog/@startupacademy/cum-face-acest-blog-usd1000-pe-zi
Very inspiring indeed, @avilsd! I think Steem is one of my favorite cryptos because of the community behind it. I've already met so many people who hold a positive vision for the future and are taking small actions towards making it happen. Here's to a shared world of abundance for all Steemians! Thank you @heiditravels. :)
@avilsd, have you heard of the Steemit killer? > https://steemit.com/steemit/@blockrush/is-wildspark-the-steemit-killer-blockrush
It's not really a Steemit Killer.. :P It's an interesting project to check out, of course, but Steemit's already well established and is only further growing! :)
thanks @avilsd, just one more request. we could like to know your comments on our response to Ripple's comment about Blockchain too slow for banks > https://steemit.com/steemit/@blockrush/blockchain-too-slow-for-banks-ripple-blockrush
Hi, if you are new to crypto i sincerely think you should use telegram
https://t.me/PumpsNotifier
they Provide Free Cryptocurrency Trading Signals for Pumps on a regular basis. just join group and follow and reap rewards for consistent profit
Pumps are useless to me. I used to run PnD's, many lose and will continue to lose. edit, have checked out your account.. it's spam. Goodbye. You are the first person I have flagged on this app.
Great post. I was neither a blogger nor vlogger...until joining steem. Now I find myself looking for new topics and things to write about. It feels good to contribute as opposed to just receiving content. Good luck to everyone!
I agree. It's very inspiring to be writing for an audience about topics I care about. I never did that til now.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. You do not have to win a popularity contest on this platform to make money. Just be honest.
BTW I think I may have spotted a couple of these so-called whales who seem to me to be gaming the system? I will investigate further.
I think Steemit is something really special. I blogged for a little bit a few years ago and have been vlogging for just a few months. I totally agree with the point of this article. It seems that the more you work online the worse things get. This network is 100% different to anything I have ever been involved in.
Thank you for sharing I just followed you and upvoting your post. I look 👀 forward to watching you become a great success here on Steemit🤓🙌🏾, re-Steem this post below on your page for a chance to win 100 Steem dollars , it will also help you earn the most out of steemit

egualmente. ditto. likewise. (^_^)
Inspiring indeed, I'm kicking myself in the foot for taking a late leap into cryptocurrency but hey better late than never. I'm super inspired now :)
I have to say that I do find Steemit quite difficult to navigate!
Looking for steemit to replace Facebook and YouTube!
Steemit is a nice platform for give and take, everyone with different background and knowledge contributed together, by posting nice content, leaving valuable comment to direct communicate. I think the keyword is respect, respect the author, respect all contributor here and you will be fine.
+I would add:
11 - You are still early adopter here. You can be well established when the real wave will come. :-)
Steemit really is Field of Dreams :-)
#ifyoubuildittheywillcome
I like this Bear catching fish ... and we want development!
Good luck to all of us and prosperity! Thanks for your advice!
Crosses Fingers** (^_^)
WOWWWW, this sounds great. SIGN ME UP!!!
Oh Wait lol....another great post @heiditravels cheers :)
Right on! This is only the begining of something big!
Steemit.com is an amazing tool for growth of this new world!
Bringing people together in an unheard unprecedented kind of way.
YES! (^_^) MAGICK!
Hi Heidi,
Big fan of your content - Your Crypto knowledge is amazing.
The videos are simple & easy to understand.
Not a Bloggers/Vloggers yet but watch this space.
:)
Not sure if I should be ashamed or honored to be in that many pictures of last years steemfest, hahaha! @firepower
I've posted a screenshot from this on old social media sometime ago to remind myself that we gotto take this to the next level and to tell everyone to Join Steemit! hahaha!
Yissssssssss
cool video :D
Sorry to hijack this post but I really love your videos. Now that Amanda has moved on you should consider doing a weekly dash update(funded from he masternode said) I think you would do a great job
Good advice 👍🏼
Good to have highly motivated female bloggers here.♥
This post was very helpful for me. Thank you so much for sharing it.
I have just followed you. I would appreciate it if you followed me back 😊
I fully agree to this! :) Steemit is the way to share great stories without remaining unnoticed!
@heiditravels , you said it all!!! point by point, you nailed it . As a new member, I use most of your tips to promote steemit to my contacts and have signed up many people. Steemit is great because of people like you using their talent to add value for our common success. I will certainly plan to attend the steemit fest. Thanks a lot , upvoted.
Also See my blog post for a link to collect free crypto, a one time opportunity.
Success
This video should be shared around (on other sites) so more people join this good site, as I will try to do
Good post. I have never blogged. I am not on vlogger i just joined steem. Now I find myself looking for new intresting topics and things to write about and share them with people and to the community. It feels good to help. Good luck
Yeah Steem is cool platform for getting income by creating content that you love. On that though I also like ONG.social which takes the idea of user controlled social media to the next level. They also have their own crypto currency there. And I love the idea that blockchain is used for all this... I see a new brave and better world a head!
Seems like Ong.social also benefits the creators. Pretty interesting stuff I will look into it.
Come on Anteroh - my friend, post your introduction post :D
Very good article.
The analysis is in place.
Great post. Upvoted and Followed. I'm a new Steemer. If anyone wants to follow me, I'd love to get to know more people and start helping each other learn and grow! -Rocky
It's useless and futile. I posted 3 posts today and nobody even read them
Great post, thanks for sharing ;D
So I get paid seven days after I publish a post but what happens if I receive upvotes after those seven days. Will I get paid for that aswell? Sorry for the newbie question :-)
Unfortunately those upvotes won't be converted into a payout for you. That's something I wish would be addressed in the upcoming hardforks as they work to improve the site. They used to implement a two-payout system where you'd be paid 24hours after you post and then again a month later.
Don't apologize for asking questions!
Thank you!
Yes! That is what I have been saying to my friends that steem is definitely a great platform for bloggers as the rules and regulations here are so perfect. Moreover, bloggers get paid directly from steem which can really encourage
This is now the platform I will be using as I work on creating new content. I don't see myself use any of the 20 plus URL I own at this time. Steemit has shown me the way.
Great article!! Enjoyed each of your points.
I like the human aspect of Steemit, lots of support, motivation, camaraderie.
Unlike other popular social media, Steemit makes newcomers welcome and helps them grow.
Keep the kard work up @heiditravels !! Thanks for the enjoyable read
Delicious (crypto)tips from Heidi
Awesome Blog Heidi. I just joined steemit and thinking of starting a blog of my adventures on the Big Island of Hawaii. A friend of mine turned me on to and just not sure which way to approach. This is such a magical healing place, I feel my story needs to be told..
People will simply make a lot more money here. Some are making $1000 a day with 3-4000 followers. You'd be lucky to make $10 a day with any other platform/monetization method.
wow this is really helpful thankyou
Thank you for sharing this post! I agree with everything you say!
I used to put tutorial videos up on YouTube, and run all of the ads and everything, and barely earned anything!
Since joining steem 3 days ago, the money I have earned so far is more than I earned from YouTube in 3 years!
This platform is definitely the next generation, and is great for content creators, no matter what your content is!
Great article! Resteemed.
I think many new user will be disappointed though as no one upvotes their stuff. These users need a whole other post: the basics in blogging, and a post which explains you'll never find success overnight.
Idea for me what to write about :D
I bowed out of Steemit for 9 months to focus on other concerns. Wishing now I had kept up with the old community. Anyway...GLAD TO BE BACK! :-)
We're glad to have you back :)
Great blog post, found it very interesting and true!
Great reading @heiditravels ;) I dived into crypto just couple months ago and became Steemian only couple days ago and it is all really absorbing... The Future is coming...
Great post! It's a good breakdown of the reasons that make Steemit so interesting. I just joined a few days and still trying to figure out how it all works exactly. Posts like this help a lot :)
i love all your posts
You are inspiring me alot to travel like you.
