Exploring New Avenues for Content Recognition and Revenue

in Suggestions Club4 months ago (edited)

This is not an attempt to influence the team into selecting my group as curators. Others should have a chance as well, and I would be happy to take a break to focus on my own blog.

Although @chriddi, my first mentor, discourages posting twice a day, it's sometimes hard to hold back thoughts when motivation strikes.

Though this may seem like an unusual way to start my post in the suggestion club, it was necessary. Now, I can proceed with my suggestions. So, here we go.



I keep thinking... Why is so much content created daily? As a curator, I see hundreds of posts, and I sometimes feel bad for the authors who put in so much energy and effort. They take photos in advance and share their lives with us. They display photos of their families for the whole world to see. What's the rush? What's the need?

I can't shake off the thought that it's for the coins. Why can't we admit it openly? We don’t want it to be a job or a fixed income for people, but the monetization factor remains a fat reality.

SC01 and SC02 do an excellent and exhausting job of curating and upvoting. Then there are also the curation teams. But still, many authors are left out and don't receive the appreciation (coins) they deserve.

I keep thinking about how this content—this written text and photography—can be utilized. There's an incentive by @weisser-rabe with her book from keywords, which is heavily appreciated by the team. It makes me wonder: what if we had collaborators from magazines around the world? How would Steemit and its authors benefit from such ideas?

You won't find such diaries and content in any magazine. People have poured their souls into their work. There are so many wonderful authors. Sometimes, simple chores written in diaries make me want to read until the end. While we make efforts to advertise Steemit through LinkedIn, Google ads, Instagram, Twitter, and try to attract investors and authors, can't we also find a way to attract magazine editors?

I mean anything to publish this content in print, giving authors proper authorship on a professional level. Maybe we can create a separate community or team to filter such posts and then establish some kind of collaboration, which will benefit both the authors and the platform in terms of revenue.

I apologize in advance if my ideas don't make solid sense, but I can't shake off the thought of so much content and potential going to waste daily.

I am stopping here and would very much welcome your suggestions. Please share your ideas, even if they seem absurd. I am confident that we can do something about this, and I believe this thought has crossed many people’s minds—it certainly should have.



Edit: I have realised that I am talking about Repurposing content on a blockchain. Yes this could be the correct term. It can be advantageous for both the platform and the author. Just an idea if I may present. I am really not familiar with the technicalities, but I have come across something like this:

Here's how this can be done and how each party can benefit:

Smart Contracts:

We can use smart contracts to manage the distribution of content, ensuring that authors automatically receive payment whenever their content is accessed or used. Smart contracts can also handle revenue splits between the author, platform, and any other stakeholders.

For example I see posts from developers and the threaded communication that follows. This content is truly golden. You won't find such information and extensive debates anywhere else. Perhaps something along these lines.

Printed magazines are dying as a vestige. In order to stay afloat, they need unique content that causes a storm of emotions. Usually it should be scandals, gossip or some kind of mystery. No one will print good life stories or diaries of unknown people. No one will buy such a magazine and it will collapse from an economic point of view.

I see another solution - an online magazine. I used to think that it was necessary to create an alternative interface with a filter that would filter out the junk. @the-gorilla created one, but it doesn't filter out uninteresting posts because no filter can do that. So I think it would be nice to create an online magazine where editors manually add the best posts from Steemit. Only programmers can suggest the implementation mechanism. Let only a few posts be added to this magazine every day, but the best and most interesting ones.

Such a magazine will have to be monetized in order to have the resources to pay for the domain and hosting, as well as the work of the editors. Also, this edition will need to be promoted to get readers, so funds will be needed for advertising.

It can also be several separate thematic online magazines.

Кстати, хорошая идея. Но этим кто-то должен заниматься. И тут мы опять упираемся в мотивацию и монетизацию...

I realize this idea is still in its early stages and doesn’t have a solid foundation at the moment. I fully acknowledge your extensive experience and agree with your points. If I may ask: do you see this as a feasible option, perhaps not in printed form but in a compiled format? Please feel free to express your thoughts unfiltered. Do you think it seems impractical due to the campaigns and associated costs?

I see great potential in the Steem blockchain and think that it is worth trying to implement any good idea, and only then analyze the results and decide whether this idea is successful.

If we talk about the practical side of implementing your idea, then I see it like this. You can create a site on a separate domain with your own unique modern attractive design. A group of editors, who will initially work exclusively voluntarily, could add posts they liked to this site (magazine). Ideally, it would be good if the post itself was physically located in the blockchain, and the post was simply displayed on the created site, as is currently done on any alternative interface. The newly created site should be optimized by someone who understands something about SEO. This will allow you to get more search traffic. Then you can solve the issue of monetization.

Возможно, найдутся добровольцы, потому что заработать на таком журнале на первых порах вряд ли удастся.

Over the past few years, I have not read a single magazine on paper or a single newspaper article. I don't even pick up newspapers.
Printed products focused on advertising, and the potential reader went head and feet to the Internet.
You need to look for the reader where he is.
Maybe @o1eh is right and we need an online magazine. Your own magazine.
But based on the situation we are in now...I am tormented by vague doubts )

За последние несколько лет я не прочитал ни одного журнала на бумаге и ни одной заметки в газетах. Газеты я даже не беру в руки.
Печатная продукция сосредоточилась на рекламе, а потенциальный читатель ушёл с головой и ногами в интернет.
Искать читателя нужно там, где он есть.
Может быть прав @o1eh и нам нужен онлайн-журнал. Свой собственный журнал.
Но исходя из того положения, в котором мы сейчас находимся ...меня терзают смутные сомненья )

Okay: I rephrase:-

Magazine, booklet, anything in compiled form... Maybe

I agree, but rather in electronic form.
With publication via the Internet.

Спасибо за поддержку)

I certainly noticed this mention, because I certainly read your text (since you are/were still in my feed).

Could it be that I don't want to/can't/won't go into this topic right now? Yes, that could be the case! My focus is not here right now!

Your thoughts are great. Yes. Indeed they are. However, they are not new. Research at @steemwiki (long dead), @afrog and I have invested a lot of brain, acquisition, server space and money, a lot of money. It would have been a great project if every individual for themselves (not the project leaders!) didn't have that shitty coin in mind!

And now let me put my focus on important things. Important to me.

Could it be that I don't want to/can't/won't go into this topic right now?

Totally understandable. And of course, it should be like this. Anything forced doesn't work for me either. Actually, I have been very careful with mentions now... You know that ;)

You know what, just after publishing this post, I felt so stupid. Like I thought I made a huge fool out of myself. I texted Hira and O1eh and said the same thing to both of them. But the nice people that they are, they reassured me with such remarks that every idea was new once. Of course, they are polite people, at least towards me.

So yeah, I think you are right...

And please don't ever feel pressured to reply. I will always understand and respect that!

And now let me put my focus on important things. Important to me.

You must have read my latest post, which begins with:

YOU ARE YOUR GREATEST ASSET. PUT YOUR TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY INTO TRAINING, GROOMING AND ENCOURAGING YOUR GREATEST ASSET."
-Tom Hopkins

So yeah :)

Oh, Maan, no justifications or apologies please. I'm the only one who transfers my own dissatisfaction onto everything here. Dissatisfaction in many ways, including the fact that I can't manage to put it ‘on paper’. Dissatisfaction that after four days I just manage to get to the computer at night. Dissatisfaction with immediately becoming impolite. So I apologise... At the same time, it would have been even ruder to ‘ignore’ your post - despite my mentioning it... ;-)
At the moment I can't get involved in discussions and I can't write a text that I'm happy with myself. But if I then make ‘rubbish’ with the other account, I'm not satisfied either. It's a vicious circle. In this respect, I should simply be more consistent and not stick to what hardly moves me. So your quote is perfect... ;-)
I told you that you will go your way here and do it. That's what you're doing and that's great!
You no longer need a ‘mentor’. Not for the ‘new Steem’. I, of all people, would be the worst advisor for that anyway... ;-)

Excuse me, Maan!
I had even ‘parked’ this post for the purpose of replying. And then so many bad things came in between...
You definitely can't help it! But I also don't want to be forced to ‘have to answer’ somewhere. Do you understand now? Now that I really couldn't answer (because there were more important, much more important things)?

I basically like all ideas that connect this Steemit world, which for most people is a closed book, if we are honest, with the real world. In the same way that we try to process our offline experiences here on a small scale, as well as transporting our joy of Steem to the outside world, the two could go hand in hand much more intensively.

I read magazines, in print and online. I think the vast majority of people do the same. We shouldn't just expect from ourselves, i.e. people with an obvious affinity for blockchain...

Thank you.

I read magazines, in print and online.

I feel less silly now. I thought I was alone and maybe too old-school. 🫣

And in a rush to reverse this feeling, I had to visit a salon today to do something about my hair. I wanted to be up to date. 😌

It was heavy on pocket though...
