First 100degrees Steemit Intro Talk in Bangkok, Thailand!

in #meetup7 years ago

Do you get paid when you post your contents on social media?

Well, for most social media platforms - Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn - they get paid by advertisers. If that’s the case, aren’t they making money off what you posted?

Want to turn that around?

Enter: Steemit - a social media platform that reward content creators and curators like yourself, with Steem!

Steem is a cryptocurrency powered by blockchain technology, and it’s value is pegged to the USD.

Yes, 1 Steem = USD4 (~THB126)

For once, you can make real money whenever you:

  • Post contents (articles, blog posts, pictures and videos)
  • Upvote other people’s contents
  • Comment on other people’s content
  • Have discussions on any content
  • And more!

Sounds unreal?

Well, we'll be frank. When we first started experimenting with the platform a few months ago, we were skeptical too. Of course, when we get paid (in our local bank account), somehow clarity sinks in. :)

Since then, we’ve formed Steemitup.Club to help more Asians create contents through our 100 degrees, **BoilerRoom **Initiatives, Bootcamps & Masterclasses!

So if you have contents to share (writings, photos or videos), why not join up at the 100degrees meetup and explore further? Since posting on Facebook and Twitter basically just gets you Likes (which is nice), why not post the same content on Steemit, and get paid instead (which is WAAAAY nicer)?

Don't know about you, but we'll trade a FB like with real money, anytime.

FAQ:

Q: Is this an event where you guys try to sell me something?
A: If "sell you something" means time-share, MLM business opportunity or high-ticket seminar or course, then no.

Q: Seriously, what’s the catch?
A: Really, no catch. We just want to build a bigger pool of local content creators, because together, we will be making more money online.

Q: Ok, that starting to sound scammy.
A: It’s true. Let me put it this way: when there’s a bigger community here, we will be able to upvote, comment and show support for each other’s contents. When that happens, both the creators and curators will earn Steem.

Q: Huh? Everyone get’s paid?
A: Yup, that’s the magic of Steemit. Whether you are posting contents, or commenting/upvoting on other people’s contents, you will get paid!

Q: How’s that possible?
A: Ok, I can throw you terms like blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, mining etc, but let’s use the quick video below to explain.

Q: Ok, after watching the video, I'm still confused.
A: Why not come over to the 100 degrees session and talk to our community members. And it’s not just us, because you’ll also meet regular members (normal people like you and me) who are making money off their contents on Steemit. The worst case, you’ll lose two hours evaluating an opportunity that you may or may not regret not hearing about earlier (we have too many missed opportunities like that too). The best case? You’ve just found a side income that can help you relieve the financial burden, pays off some loans here and there, or even go for that trip you’d been postponing.

Q: What do I need to do before the event?
A: It would be good if you have a Steemit Account. As a matter of fact, the moment you register for the event, please register for a free account here. It takes anywhere between 6 to 48 hours for your account to be approved.

Wait, why's Mav posting on Steemit nowadays?

Well, unlike other blogging and social media platform, Steemit is the only platform that allows me to earn cryptocurrency when I engage with it. Yup, one Steem is about USD5, and you, too, can earn Steem Dollars every time you:

  • Create content (articles, blog posts, podcasts, videos, photos)
  • Upvote (like) other people contents
  • Comment on other people's posts
  • Have discussions, share opinions etc!

Yup, basically it's the very same thing you're doing on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc all along!

The only difference? For once you can earn a nice income on the side!

Sign up for a free Steemit account, and you can thank me by coming back and upvoting this article. And guess what, you will earn Steem too for doing that! #awesome

That's a great thing you are doing to educate more people about joining Steemit. It is a great platform and although I am moving slowly here I am definitely enjoying and the more hard work I put in, the more I get in return in terms of money and support and love. Great work that you are doing and I wish you good luck on this journey.

Thanks @sharoonyasir! Yes, I personally think Steemit is one of the greatest platform over the past few years, especially for those who are creative. It's hard to find a platform that's so engaging an rewarding for our contents, really!

You made me want to go Bangkok!!! 😁

Ini class for newbies lar, some said the non-believers too!

Wow, you guys are going international now? Best of luck and say hi for me to the new Steemit community in Bangkok, Thailand. Good job @maverickfoo and co.

Great job bro @maverickfoo. Extend your experience to Bangkok. Build the community stronger. Bravo!! Resteemed

Haha, thanks bro! Doing Vietnam in May/June! Excited about that too.

Sounds interesting! More countries ahead!

Going to see if we can attend. Maybe just Sam as Becca will be working. It will be nice to meet up with other Steemians as well as learn a thing or two that we might not have known.

Cool! Looking forward to meet more people too. Steemians both new, upcoming, and seasoned!

Sam has registered and he might bring his brother along (he's not a Steemian yet), but he also has work on Sundays, so depends on how long his workshop goes on for.
It will be nice to meet all walks of life at your event 😊

Looking forward to see all of you! Steemit is worth skipping a few minutes/hours of work for, haha.
