Steepshot Review and Tutorial with Brandon Frye
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Instagram rewarded you for your beautiful pictures? Well, wonder no more. @steepshot is a blockchain-based photo and video platform built on the Steem blockchain which means you can actually earn Steem and SBD for those vacation snapshots! In today's video I'll review the platform and test it out on video. This way you can see if this is something that you might want to use for yourself.

Great review! This is also the first I've heard of steepshot. I'm guessing Appics will be a competitor?
What is Appics? Havent heard about that
Thanks for this app review video I super tired of IG and the chronological issues. This my first time seeing Steem Tools and I can't wait to explore and see how i can create with the other apps to further communicate with the world. Also super happy as a new SteemIt user to see something that looks familiar for posting pictures.
Cool, I’m glad I could introduce you to these apps. And welcome to Steemit! :)
Hey Brandon- I actually posted on Steepshot for the first time the other day. Just so other newbs like me know: When you're typing your tags for your picture, DON'T press enter. All you need to enter photo tags is just space.
I didn't know that because I had actually never posted on Steemit before. If you press enter, it WILL post your picture before your ready...which can be kinda awkward.
I ended up posting it twice. Hopefully, this comment can help keep someone else from making a newb mistake.
On another note...I vote you and your gf come to Thailand! I'm traveling here right now with my SO for a few months, and it's great! And warm. Also, several people on Steemit here in Chiang Mai. I'll be posting pics from here for a couple of months...so maybe if they're good enough, they'll sway you away from Iceland, for now.
Thanks for the tutorial! Nice to meet you!
This is fantastic, thank you!
I've been in need of an updated intro tutorial for steepshot, and this was totally a happy accident that I ended up on your blog by way of a you tube search that brought up your video on "10 Things You Shouldn't Do On Steemit", and I fell down the rabbit hole and ended up here!
:)
steepshot! its new thing for me as i am new on steemit and do not know about these things so i say thanks to you who introduce me steepshot Its good for me that i learn a new thing from your post, I am already following you. i wish you all the best and hope i will learn more new things from your blog and post please keep posting.I upvote your post hope you will visit my blog thanks
Hey @travellingwomen, thanks for the support. And I'm glad you were able to learn about steepshot from me. It's really a great tool to have, especially for us who travel and enjoy taking pictures. :)

I just downloaded the app. I was really confused how it ties into Steemit. Is it it's own thing or own site or is it a part of Steemit?
I noticed when I post to Steepshot it also shows up on my Steemit blog which I wasn't really expecting. I see what you mean about how if the app gets popular Steemit gets flooded with photos as opposed to video and blog type content.
I sort of expected it to be a related but seperate site or thing.
Hey @peter007, it's just another application built on the Steem blockchain (just like Steemit). But it also ties in with Steemit, meaning you can post on steepshot and it automatically posts on Steemit a well. Glad you got to test it out.
It's great to here it from you. Thanks for this post
Just opened my account on @steepshot, my poor old social media accounts must wonder where i have disappeared to!!
they have been neglected since i joined here :)
Lol, mine too! I rarely even log into Facebook or Instagram anymore. Why bother, right!? :)
exactly!! It literally isn't worth it anymore to do it.
I think i only log on now just to get rid of those pesky notifications
I saw your Steepshot post on your Steemit blog and decided to get started myself. I can easily see this replacing Instagram. I have to agree, Steemit seems to be way ahead of the social media curve, and it's so important to have a platform that's already up and running- just look at Bitcoin.
Would it be fair to compare Steemit's position in the social media blockchain market to Google's position in the search engine market?
Cool, I figured people would be wondering what I was up to lol. Tried to get the video out as soon as I could. I’m loving @steepshot though and will be using this for sure while I travel.
And yeah, I think they’ve got the market cornered. Facebook is considering an ICO from what I hear but I’m not sure how much people truly trust Facebook for decentralization due to their focus on pleasing advertisers.
I've got a distaste for Facebook and Twitter because of their censorship record. I dropped FB last summer after getting hacked and I'm mainly using Twitter for news and sharing my Steemit content. Converting my IG account to here is the next step for me.
Awesome, same here. I feel as an ambassador for the Steemit platform it's best for me to just stick with the interfaces popping up here. Besides, may as well earn a few tokens for my work. :)
Exactly!

Sweet! Thanks for the plug man and the winnings. Much appreciated!
And huge info on Steepshot. Looks like I need to dive into this too. So much to check out, such little time but I think this could fit perfectly into what I'm trying to do here.
As always, grateful for the support man and looking forward to more nuggets from you sir!
Most definitely, so glad I found you on here! And yes, check it out when you can. It’s just a great addition to what we already have here on Steemit. Plus, more exposure for your channel/brand. ;)
Interesting I will check out the desktop version I think it could be useful when your posting photos. But even better on your phone I will also need to wait for it to be available on the app store
Glad you’re testing it out. And yeah I’m looking forward to the iPhone app!
I just posted one now
Awesome! Btw I meant to tell you that your Steemit shirt is on the way. :)
Thanks and that’s good
Well the post is interesting as I see the totle "I said just click it Shahid!" And really informative post about the steepshot and I will join it now, keep me updated brother. Thank you for information!
Cool, glad you’re going to be joining @steepshot!
This One Was Something Different! I Might Have To Give It A Try!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Thanks for your investigative work . The @steepshot app is very cool. I will be most definitely setting up an account, and thanks for sharing on how to link it to our steemit account.
Absolutely! Glad you’ll be using it. All of these other social platforms are quickly being replaced. :)
I am currently playing around with it myself to do a review though I am waiting to give a full review after using it for a few weeks. I plan to do it in a few days. Though I won't be able to use the app to give the review since it limits how much you can put into the description.
That’s a great idea. And yeah, my girlfriend tested it out today and mentioned the limit for the description on the app. Otherwise, she’s excited to be using the app as she’s more of a Instagram user than blogger anyways.
I think that is the downside of it since it does show up on the steemit site. I think it could cause problems with spammy posts. But I do like the easy of use and it doesn't seem to be buggy.
That’s a good point. One thing I wish dtube, steepshot, and other interfaces would do is give you the choice of whether you wanted it to post to Steemit or not.
but also on the other side of the same token it is nice to be reward by the followers you already have on the platform
Congratulations @brandonfrye! You have completed some achievement on Steemit and have been rewarded with new badge(s) :

Thanks for the tutorial! Nice to meet you!
Thanks for the review Brandon! I prersonally did not like Steep Shot that much, as I feel photo only content should mainly be hosted on a seperate platform that links to Steemit, but it's still a great tool for those who enjoy it.
wow the more I see the more I think steem is going to take over the world! " One ring to rule them all "
Hey! Please could you make a video on how to edit posts to make them look good. Lots of articles but little videos on the topic. Thanks
Thanks for the suggestion @pharmacy-jinni. I will put this into my queue of videos to make. I appreciate it!
Just heard about steepshot and thought I'd start and then found out no app for iphone yet.... so I wait patiently
Hi @brandonfrye, I am a 3 day old newbie to steemit @digitalmind
I stumbled upon your video at youtube and I am glad I did. Really appreciate you put up the effort to compile this vidoe and it is so useful; for me to understand steemit better.,.
I know it may not help too much but I have upvoted you and sure, also followed you
Looking forward to more application reviews like this. You mentioned Dsound and I hope you also review Zappl.
I have enjoyed Steepshot a lot. it has made Steemit more image focused, and I like how it's integrated. Though I am hoping they put in the Markup language into the posts (as they reflect into Steemit, but not there) and that follows on Steemit/Steepshot will automatically reflect. It seems not all pictures/photos from your Steemit blog will work on Steepshot. I think it's a great service, slower than Instagram, but also good (with the Android app and all).
I’ve included this in my Steeply digest for Steepshot related posts here: https://steemit.com/steepshot/@scottcbusiness/steeply-the-steepshot-digest-2
Also you can share Steepshot related content on Twitter and Facebook using #Steepshot and they’ll repost/like it :)
