RE: The Business of Blogging and How To Take Over The World

in #newsteem5 years ago

Great thinking. I need to change the way I talk about Steem to strangers from "getting paid to post" to "getting paid to invest". I wrote a similar post once: https://steemit.com/@organduo/if-i-had-an-extra-million-dollars

Sort:  

Most folks are glued to the phones and consuming content anyway. That's a huge market there, and a lot of them are throwing their money away. Even Youtube now is offering subscription services. Wouldn't be impossible to redirect some of that money this way. People are reading ebooks, online magazines like Nat Geo and everything else. There's billions out there.

I'm sure there are plenty of ways to attract people but it works best when more money is coming in than what can go out. Something like this setup, there's no time to waste. It's a gold mine out there but everyone has to keep digging for it.

I think when people get around the idea that they are really wasting money on entertainment, the idea of Steem economy will start to click for many of them.

"Getting paid to INVEST" -- I would have come either way, but I would have had an easier adjustment than I and most newbies have, and will have even more so after HF21. And, this idea does make it easier to know how to share Steem with others -- not people looking for the quick buck from their creativity, but people with the mindset to INVEST, whether through consistent production and curation as a second leg, or curation as a first leg and production on a second, or all curation. There are a bunch of good ways, if I understand #newsteem correctly.
