It is my opinion that for Steemit to succeed it needs to have a broad appeal and to contain exclusive content. It already has good 'Google juice', so people will find their way here via search, but with compelling content they will stick around. Once they join Steemit they can follow their favourites and vote them up. I want to see more artists here posting their work and getting paid for it. Then we can bring in more artists by showing them that it is a useful platform where they don't have to rely on advertising, subscriptions or other schemes.
Here are some of the artists already on Steemit who I think deserve your support:
- @joyoftech is a long-standing on-line comic that has recently joined Steemit. A couple of their posts did well, but they only have 20 subscribers so far and deserve to have more.
- @opheliafu is a more established Steemit artist producing beautiful work that's doing well.
- @katharsisdrill makes cool comic art. I am enjoying his Phil from GCHQ comic.
- @runridefly may not consider himself a great artist, but I've enjoyed his comics
I enjoy various on-line comics and these of some of the artists I'd love to see here. I tend to go for geeky stuff:
- xkcd: It would be a major boost to get Randall Monroe onto Steemit. He has a big following in the geek world.
- Savage Chickens: I've been following Doug Savage on Google+ for years and he makes me smile on a daily basis.
- Commitstrip: It's largely about developers, so may have a niche market, but I like it.
- lunarbaboon: This one is mostly about being a parent. I've lived some of these stories.
I may contact some of these in the coming months when Steemit is a little more established. Perhaps it needs additional tools so they can present their work as they would want it, e.g. in a custom theme.
Who would you want to bring to Steemit?
Unrelated question. ? I cant seem to find out where to get steem varified? I googled steemvarify.com, and nothing comes up! I looked in the list to the right, and FAQ, i cant find anything anywhere about it?! Can you help me out? Thanks!
Great post by the way! And i agree on steemit automatically showing us stuff we may like! Great idea, ! Steem on! ♨😉♨
Did you mean this? http://steemverify.com/ It's not an official thing. There are ways to automatically verify an account using encryption, but we need to be able to confirm that an account is real, especially if we want to send them money.
I expect new feature ideas will come out of Steemfest.
Nevermind, about my last comment! Lol, i think i figured it out! Because t sent in my first part of the application, and emailed me! Now i just need to wait for part 2! Whatever that is!? Hopefully it all goes good! Thanks! ♨♨♨
Awesome thanks alot for the info! Somehow i missed your reply earlier! Lol! I will check it out! You would think these things would be easier to find! Thanks again! STEEM ON,! ♨👍♨
So i went to steemvarify, and they need some sort of steemit ID? Enter a value? It says, what is that? I cant process the first part of the application ithout it! And i still cant find any information on this process! Its pretty rediculous really! Lol! Thanks again! 👍
some good recs 4 sure
Good work! I recommend you to get in touch with Steemtrail, and start a comic-trail or something like that
. Another idea is to start a magazine. It's just to recruit the right people for the job, it can be done. I would love to see more comic-strips!
Oh, I hadn't seen @joyoftech her, thanks for notifying me/us.
Happy to let you know. Content discovery is still an issue here. I hope Steemit will eventually suggest profiles and posts we might like automatically
I appreciate the mention, thanks.
