RE: MARKETING STEEM # 3 : What are we marketing?
It is a complicated topic; nothing is black and white, as there are many grey areas. However, Steemit definitely cannot be compared with Facebook and Instagram. I use these two other platforms, so I can at least say this.
Both media thrive on advertisement. The one big major difference, and then they were basically a means of connectivity, and the video sharing aspect is definitely another big perk. Then there is a business model that has been integrated into these. People advertise their skills and also the business. Steemit, on the other hand, is on an entirely different tangent.
It's a blogging space and literally has nothing to do with the advertising side.
Only those who possess reading and writing skills can effectively utilize this platform, including investors.
Regarding comments and engagement, they differ significantly from those on traditional social media platforms. Engaging on Steem necessitates reading, and since there's a financial incentive involved, the time spent reading and engaging assumes a different level of importance and preference.
Only a handful of people genuinely engage when they find something interesting.
Most of the time, engagement feels obligatory, driven by various factors such as SEC regulations, the desire for visibility, or to connect with influential voters.
There are no shortcuts on Steemit. Understanding the platform and its users is essential. It demands consistency, active involvement, and a genuine desire to create content.
This is the stage where many new bloggers and those seeking quick profits often step back.
The question of whether Steemit should be promoted and under what categories remains significant.
The answer to the first part is a definite yes.
Regarding the second part, Steemit can be promoted across all these criteria. The question about advertising monetary aspect - why not! I think it should be emphasized, as time is money. However it should be left to the user to explore the chain on its own and they will definitely come to terms with the fact that Steemit is not easy money.
Agree with your points.
This part is key...
Should the word 'good' be inserted between possess and reading?
Erm... No
Because, you know why!
Do you want me to elaborate?
Please do elaborate...
You could call it a failure of Proof-of-Brain! The trending posts are not always the quality posts. I really will not go into details here because you get the gist.
Now, turning to the lower tier of high-earning and typical posts and posters; it seems that simply being on the platform for a long time is the primary factor for them to receive fervent upvotes, regardless of the content. Yes, I stumble upon a post and find myself wondering, 'What did I just read?' Then, I glance at the rank, sometimes the SP, and the influence of the writer, and I find my answer.
Please I'm not pointing any fingers. But that's just my perspective. And the answer to your question.
My focus was solely on the reading and writing aspect (in the point you have highlighted) as opposed to the video/shorts/tiktok content found on other social media platforms.
But you put the variable good in the equation.
It's true. You notice it yourself if you upvote. Give 50% upvote to someone with a low level/SP it's less than if you give it to those with a collection of dolpins/orca's.
I am spending time in 3 different worlds of Steemit lately to figure out what is going on.
My average earn became lower since I joined the clubs. How can that be?
I noticed 3 lines even 6 words without hashtags is enough to receive high upvotes even with only 800 SP.
Where does this Steem come from? The null-bank?
You get paid less in SBD if you are club 75 as long as SBD prints
Mana, that is, the power of the voice. mana can then be, for example, 90-100% which gives more than lower mana
If I understood your question correctly
And another thing that counts is that posts that give below approx. 20 steem in payment both author and curator earn slightly less than one for posts of more than 20 steem in payment
Unfortunately, there are always loopholes in any system which can be exploited!
That loophole looks more like a totally different part of Steemit than the one we are joining.
There are definitely significant gaps and failures in the implementation of the Proof of Brain / Curation model.
Solving those issues though is not easy unfortunately.
