RE: A Questionnaire For Whales And Solutions For FRUSTRATED MINNOWS: Comments Are Needed, Don't Have To Upvote

in #steemit9 years ago

And, let me repeat, blogging should not be the only form of income. We need to create more ideas on this, and then have the results of our efforts be in blogging form. Many of the top creators are professionals: programmers, video bloggers, artists.....the point is that THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING ELSE BESIDES WRITING. That is my main point here. The writing comes afterwards, as they are documenting their work. Not everyone can be a successful writer. More stress should be placed on different disciplines: teaching, outreach, parenting, running a business, programming, etc........... making films, you get the idea...

Yes agree 100% on same page, Curating should be a form of income for more users.

Those other avenues of income are not related to the platform. If some one wants to be a teacher or programmer this is not relevant to the discusion of optimizing the platform or payout of posts and curation. Unless they will be monetized by blogging or curating. Those are the only current mechanisms to reward income for any effort related to the platform.

We are left with two streams of income, posting and curating. 100% of users will have to derive any Steemit related income from those two sources.

There is only ONE discussion that matters and that is optimizing the use of those two rewards to facilitate growth of the platform.

I wrote a blog proposal about changing curation rewards but you can find it if you havent.

how things like running interest groups (i've been admin in a few over on facebook it's hard work so rewarding those who do it well would be amazing), a steemit version of instagram or a steemit wiki,
