0.000 HBDInterview with Steemit Community Liaison @andrarchy: Advice for New Users
<html> <p>First time I heard about Steemit was over a year ago. Back then I signed up, created a profile and successfully... forgot about it (stupid move, I know...)</p> <p>About a week ago I decided to check it out and figure out how it actually works. Posted few short things, looked around and realized that I need to learn a lot before this place starts making complete sense to me.</p> <p>In order to save time and get all the answers from a credible source I did what I've been doing since 3 years already: approached Steemit directly and asked for an interview. Luckily I got a response in the same day and they referred me to @andrarchy.</p> <p>As a result we ended up with 40+ minutes of amazing conversation, where @andrarchy explained in details everything I asked about (cool, right?)</p> <p>So below are the highlights and the video itself!</p> <h1>Interview Highlights</h1> <h2>What is Steemit?</h2> <p>It's a combination of Reddit and Medium. Steemit is a content sharing platform and it helps its users to monetize their content. And the guess what? It's free to use! But there's even more...</p> <p>The social network is itself is built into blockchain.</p> <p>But you don't have to understand any of that complex stuff in order to start posting. </p> <h2>How Many People Are Using Steemit?</h2> <p>Steemit has between 50-100k daily active users.</p> <p>But it is not a question of how many people are using it. It's more about the value of users.</p> <p>The value of average social media user is zero, which is not the case for Steemit user (it's obviously more than zero)</p> <h2>What About Followers?</h2> <p>If you create high quality content then you will get high quality followers. So make sure you focus on quality!</p> <p>It doesn't so much matter how many people upvote you as much as who the upvotes come from!</p> <h2>How to Make Sure People on Steemit See Your Content?</h2> <p>Engage and interact with the users. Comment on their posts. Look for people whose content you find valuable.</p> <p>Create genuine relationship, instead of asking for upvotes and follows.</p> <p>Don't be the douchebag who spams! (this one was my bonus idea)</p> <h2>Can You Repurpose Your Existing Content? </h2> <p>The short answer is yes. You can use what you have already created. </p> <p>But if you cater it to Steemit audience it will do even better! (so don't be a lazy ass!)</p> <h2>How Do I Make Money?</h2> <p>The points you earn are cryptocurrency tokens that have value on the market. </p> <p>You can exchange Steem for Bitcoin and then exchange that into real money. (you can use www.coinbase.com for that)</p> <p>Steemit rewards people who invest the most in the platform, especially the content creators.</p> <h2>3 Ways of Making Money on Steemit</h2> <ol> <li>Create content</li> <li>Comment on content</li> <li>Curate content</li> </ol> <h2>Niche Down or go Broad?</h2> <p>Being broad can be rewarding. You do not need to stick to a narrow niche in order to succeed on the platform.</p> <h2>So... How to Start?</h2> <p>1. Sign up (waiting period is 24-48 hours)</p> <p>2. Chat with other Steemians at www.steemit.chat</p> <p>3. Start engaging on the platforms (comment!)</p> <p>4. Look for good content that is your cup of tea</p> <p>5. Start paying attention to formatting (photos, headings, short to the point paragraphs, well organized content will do better)</p> <h2>And Remember!</h2> <p>It is possible to quickly raise through the ranks... <strong>It IS possible but it ISN'T easy!</strong></p> <p>Of course I did not cover everything in here. We spoke for 40+ minutes, so obviously it is better if you watch the whole thing.</p> <h2><strong>Watch the Interview Below</strong></h2> <p><strong>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iegFZlohz7s&t=5s</strong></p> </html>
