My Experience on Steemit after 6 months as a Blogger

in #dtube6 years ago (edited)


Hi in this video, I share my experience as a Blogger using the platform Steemit.

I was lucky to get involved near the start and to meet some amazing people from there.

I also went to Steemfest 2 to met some of the gang, which was a blast!

So, in my experience, I would say :

  1. Take your time blogging. It's better to have few quality posts then a load of posts that you rushed.
  2. Like any social network, make friends on there and have fun.
  3. Blog to help people or to entertain people, not to make money. If your stuff is high quality and you're consistently posting, the money will come in the end, but it shouldn't be the end goal!

I hope you like this video and please post your comments below.

Cheers,
Tomas,

Good job Tomas! I wish I can be a good blogger some day!

Rewards Pool Farmer Alert

@Steemcleaners, check out the comments section of @ryacha21 above. (https://steemit.com/@ryacha21/comments)

He is leasing 30k SP from @minnowbooster then using that to VOTE Up his own 7 Day old comments on random posts at the last minute. Scroll his comments to around the 6 day mark or just go to https://steemd.com/@ryacha21; he has a lot of self love on his own old comments.

HE IS DOING IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER.. He is farming the pool.. If you could help it would be appreciated..

Learn more about this sack of monkey spunk here:

https://steemit.com/shitpost/@pawsdog/the-shit-post-diaries-1-17-18-4

Also kinda a dick move to use the actual good post of another person to post a comment for no other reason to come back and farm it later.

Post Author, I do apologize.. This dude makes no actual articles of his own so the only way to draw attention to what he is doing is to comment his comments. My sincerest apologies for cluttering up your blog, outing the abusive self voting behavior of @ryacha21

Really insightful post. You have done a lot of stuff in this community in such a short amount of time! I hope to follow in your footsteps fellow steemian. Thanks for this post!

Yeah!! Need to learn more how to create a better quality content, so excited about this steemit community.

Nice, I advice blogging about stuff you enjoy and that you're good at too.
For creating videos, I recommended spending as much time looking at microphones and audio as at looking at camera and video. Audio is super important and a lot of people do often forgot that.

Thank you, I'm glad you found this video insightful!

Yeah, I've basically just created a load of posts about stuff I know about and I'm also part of the Promo-UK Steem team.
I forgot to mention that I also went to Steem Fest 2 in 2017 which was a blast and a few of my friends are also on Steemit, which helps!

Hi tomasgeorge thank for the video please always vote for me.


I'm new on steemit,follow and upvote me,and I return that back..Thanks

Hey, can you follow me back!! :)

I'm following you now...sorry for late:)

Great post. There are many people taking all kinds of shortcuts just trying to get their posts noticed (and upvoted). Slow, steady, and quality wins the race.

Thank you for your points. I agree with you.You are right, you have to be consistent and post good quality content otherwise you will lose your attraction.
Being a new user, these things gonna help me a lot.

Thank you, I'm glad you like my video.
Yes, I just hope everyone creates high-quality content, then the platform would have some more great value to offer a lot of readers and investors.

these one is quite interesting

It's great to hear your experience in Steemit as when i first joined Steemit, I wanted to make as much friends as possible and engage with them as different people have different interest and it is fun to read and learn from different kind of people's post. I got to learn a lot of stuff that I didn't even know.

I wish you all the best! @tomasgeorge

I've been studying steemie for at least 10 hours a day for a week, it's so good :)
But very few friends

That's very good.. the amount of time you put in Steemit will definitely payoff!
I wish you all the very best! @stewardessa

Will be looking forward to your upcoming post
Goodluck! :)

Make friends by commenting! I read that at least 20 - 50 (if you can handle 50 lol) comments per day is ideal!

its a great idea to interact with new people by commenting on their post.im on my way to 100 comments /day

It is true, when someone comments on your post you usually always click their profile and peek around lol

lol i do it whole day.

may be :)

Yeah it can take a bit of time. I'd say just post about what you enjoy doing and the followers will come. However, give it a bit longer than a week though.

Nice, thank you! Yes, it's a really fun platform :)

I wish it was that easy for those without a massive following

nice post

Nice one @tomasgeorge
You are actually saying the truth.

Thank you, I'm glad you like this video!
Yeah, I wanted to say my honest opinion and not to pretend I'm any kind of crypto expert, which I'm not haha.

cool tomas! thanks for sharing! I think you spoke in a very authentic manner. Like the style of your video! Much more calm and just like you would talk normally!

Nice, thank you. I wasn't too sure if I was being 'too honest' in this video, but I just wanted to share my experience and I'm really glad people seem to like this video :)

You wanna Know my best part in that video ?😂

I don't know about crypto , But I know about music production & teaching people online

Hehehehe that part gat me 👍. Well said

Haha, yeah I didn't want to pretend I was any kind of crypto expert, I just wanted to share my honest opinion.
Thank you though Rufans, I'm glad you liked this video!

Amazing tips! :D

I am a new member of steemit, from Mexico, can not wait to get involved. Thanks for your post, you encouraged me.

UPvoted! Wow 6 months and you have achieved quite the accomplishments! #goals!

thanks for the great advices! we will try to follow them @tomasgeorge !

Nice, thank you!

sharing your experience will really help us as a new steemit users i appreciate that thank you and i wish you all the best

wow is very interesting advices nice friend, I am starting in this appasionate world

Noiiice video!
Man, thanks for that, I'm super relieved.
You are living proof to me that you can "make it" on this platform without necessarily having to become a crypto expert. because frankly, when my buddy first tried to explain it to me my head almost exploded and I am less than confident I'll ever get to grips with all the intricacies of crypto and what blockchain really is haha And I'm barely a week in. >->
thank gawwwd hahaha
toodles and rock on! ~~ ♡

You sound like me lmao... My husband tries desperately to dumb it all down, but I can truly only grasp about 20% of the words that come out of his mouth. I guess I'm just lucky one of us knows wtf is going on :) We'll get there eventually!

hahaha omg this made me giggle.
I realise it's a bit cliché but thank god for the tech-savvy men in our lives. >___>
We can do it! (with a little help) XD

Lmao Exactly, but in my case a LOT of help! Just had another crypto convo today and could feel my brain melting while my eyes glazed over bwahaha. Keep on keepin on girl!

Thanks, yeah I'm not a cypto expert haha.
Some of my friends are and it's a different language. I'm starting to understand it though, just about!

Good on you! :D Well it gives me hope I'll get there at some point hahaha
Mostly I haven't moved very far from this stage of things:

I feel like you really need someone to "hold your hand" a bit when you first get into it. Honestly, I have no Idea how some people manage to educate themselves about crypto so well, I mean I don't even understand most (supposedly) explanatory material I find. It's definitely like learning a different language!

I think steem is great I like to blog more than making vids ,,I also started steem about 6 months ago .... lots of fun .... and learned lots and lots .... blows YouTube out of the water ...and no I don't make much on it but still love the idea and platform ....

Yeah, you're right, it is loads of fun :)

Very cool. Thanks for your insights. I am a songwriter/artist and also a record producer. Really enjoying the potential of the platform and starting to find some great authentic people to follow whose interests I share. Looking forward to your posts!
Best
@benleemusic

Thank you Ben! I still need to start posting on the Steemit open mic at some point. I've heard a lot of good things about that.

Whats a good website to hear your music?

오늘 처음 시작했습니다. 좋은 컨테츠를 올리도록 하겠습니다.

I share the same opinion as you more quality and less trash!

Nice! Yes, the less trash the better.

I enjoyed your article
I'm a newbie. I love steemit business idea, and have migrated from blogger to steemit;
But i have concerns:

  • how sustainable is the business model so we can assure this will keep on going. After all, blogger & adsense belong to alphabet and probably stays in the market

  • I'm also concerned about things some people say about the whales....

  • steemit sees some duplicate and worthless content which can threaten its value

I would just say create the best content you can and keep blogging and offer as much value as possible on the platform and to the Steemit community.

Thank you for sharing this with us, taking your time blogging is extremely underrated. I wish everyone would focus on quality and not quantity. I hope you have a blessed 2018.

Thank you, I hope you have a great 2018 too!

Thank you @tomasgeorge for sharing this experience as for me now you are an experienced steemian since i am kind of new here. I would really like to walk on your steps and the most important is to have fun. You have my vote 👍🏼
Thank you

Nice, thank you!

Thank you, I hope this video helped!

Ok bro. Now interact with the comunity.

For real! I wonder how much he paid for the robot promoters.

Thanks for your video, maybe one day my blog on steemit will be on the same level like yours. ;) Im fresh here so i have to learn a lot. :D

@tomasgeorge, whoooa.... pretty review. i love it. good and outstanding performance. looking forward for more review

Yes, I'll definitely be doing another review for my 1-year journey and few others along the way.

Thanks for sharing your experience @tomasgeorge

yas follow me i follow u!

Hi can someone answer my newb question. I see this post has earned 460 dollars, but is that 460 US dollars or 460 Steem dollars?

it is split between the creator and the author. And from that it is than split between SBD and SP. Each the SBD and the SP have different real cash values. You can trade the SP and SBD into cash by transferring it into coinbase.

good advise... thanks!

Thank you, I'm glad you found some value from my post!

Great advice brother! I am using Steemit more and more these days. Cheers!

Thank you, I'm glad you found this video useful.

this is true man "It's better to have few quality posts then a load of posts that you rushed"

Congrats on your recent success. :)

Thank you!

You're welcome

Have fun and give knowledge are one of the best things !

This is really inspiring me personally.
I believe you worked hard,, so you are gaining gold now and from now on.
Keeep it up

Good to have some inspiration from someone who is still happy after 6 months

thank you for sharing your experience

You were so lucky getting involved in Steemit from the very beginning. Congrats.

Yeah, I really was. I luckily listened to my friend who told me that I needed to get onboard.

I appreciate you sharing your experience,this would surely help us around.Thank you.

No worries, thank you for watching :)

Keep up the good work! Fellow Brit here also loving Steemit.

People need to be educated on how to use Steemit. Your video helps to do that. Thanks

I really like this platform and i'm learning about it more everyday i also trade in the market sometimes so i know a little about crypts and charts etc. I believe this platform is what crypto needs to get the average person to see the possibilities of what it can be.

Nice to meet you Thomas!
Randy

I just made a post about my first 30 days on Steemit. What a great community to be able to come here and be welcomed so readily. I was surprised how welcoming it was when I first got here and how perseverance really pays off.
Nice post.
