RE: The Surprising Number of "First Time Bloggers" on Steemit

in #blog7 years ago

Interesting article, i think it's obvious that there is a BIG incentive: actually being rewarded for creating / curating content, and we can reach our goals sooner than trying to monetize a traditional blog, etc... also i feel there is an incredible community talking and growing important projects for all the society, and we get to share directly, to help and support others, Steemit is really an amazing tool and i think we are still learning all the great potential and how to use it wisely!

Sort:  

You point to something it seems often gets overlooked: A lot of people are using Steemit as a "front end" on outside projects they are developing, and the result is that they can get "funding" (in a sense) to do things that otherwise would never have been possible. Things like @sndbox are a great example-- the renovation and dedication of an actual park in physical space... created thanks to Steem.

I've been blogging for almost two decades, and this is definitely a LOT easier than working with AdSense, Amazon links and all that other stuff. Not to mention it's more secure; Steemit isn't going to suddenly block your account because you said something "Big Brother" didn't approve of.
