How to get paid by Steemit
Are you interested in sites that will pay you to publish?
You know, revenue-sharing sites, websites that actually give part of their advertising money to their writers.
Well, there’s a new sheriff in town, and its name is Steemit.
This post will explain how you can get started making money on Steemit and how you can attract new readers to your content.
The best part: Steemit is still in beta, so the field is wide open for you. In contrast to other revenue sharing sites, you won’t have much competition for readers or the money Steemit is paying.
Where do the tokens come from?
The Steem network continually creates digital tokens to reward content creators and curators. Some of the newly-created tokens are transferred to users who add value to Steemit by posting, commenting and voting on other people’s posts. The remainder is distributed to holders of STEEM Power and the witnesses that power the blockchain.
Strategy
If you focus your efforts at the site on building a following and connecting with the community, people will become aware of you and upvote your content. Then, monetization can and should follow.
Make sure you tag your posts so people interested in your content can find your articles. You can even search tags so you can find other writers in your niche.
You can search for content that is “new,” “hot,” “trending,” and “promoted.”
You can “follow” certain writers so their posts appear in your feed.
Steemit is similar to Twitter when it comes to resharing other people’s content. You can send other writers’ articles to your followers. Sharing other people’s content is called “resteeming.”
Advice on how to build a following can be found here.
- Don’t use all your voting power at once. It will deplete each time and be worth less value. Your voting power recharges at 20% each day so it will take 5 days of not upvoting once you use all your power to have 100% upvoting power again.
