To Steem, or not to Steem, that is the question?
I would like to hear your experience about steemit after few months of usage?
Do you find it interesting and useful? Did you managed to have some income?
Any real feedback from experienced steemers is welcome :)
There have been many lessons to learn, ups and downs, good and bad with Steemit. I have been on here about 2 months now and my girlfriend joined following about a week behind me. We both posted like crazy for a good month straight and had what I would consider above average success for newbs right out of the gate. Between the 2 of us we earned a little over $500. She's an incredibly talented artist so Steemit is a perfect platform for her and she does very well consistently. She has already had multiple $100+ articles and most of her posts tend to do anywhere from 10-30 a piece on the low end. I'm not as interesting a person to the general public I guess so I don't earn as much as she does by any stretch but I have still managed to gain a decent reputation and have had a $100+ post myself although most of my posts are hit or miss as far as profits are concerned. I would probably be a better example of the average user attempting to put quality post out without being insanely unique, talented or beautiful. That being said I've made a couple hundred myself.
After a family pet became ill before passing on, we had taken about a month break from Steemit as we just weren't in the mood to write positive upbeat blogs. Over the last couple days we have just started to look at Steemit again and are trying to build back up some momentum. At the end of the day I think if you really want to become a full time blogger Steemit is probably the fastest and easiest way to accomplish that goal. Like I said, in our spare time @j-vo and I have earned about $800 on here to-date with about 5 weeks of cumulative work. No that doesn't pay our bills by any means but I'm pretty sure we can triple that or more in another month or two. We have almost 800 followers already and as soon as we get cranked back up full steam again that number will just continue to grow day after day. The best advice I could give you is to learn as much about how Steemit works and to try your best to stick to the core ideals of Steemit. With consistency (no more than 4 a day) and quality posts, meaning unique original content presented in a non half-assed way, you will do great! Don't copy other peoples content, don't try to make money here off other people's youtube videos/memes, don't spam your affiliate links, all those kinds of things will get you flagged down by the community destroying your reputation. Simply be you, have fun and enjoy the community! I think Steemit is an incredible platform that is posed to blow up after this next hard fork. I hope you find this helpful :) Welcome to Steemit and I wish you the best!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! Good luck in future posting ;) @i-am-wade
I think the platform is not even for all. Actually there are a lot of bots, auto post/comment tools and much more. And I think the witnesses enjoy much more benefits than ours... We, the common people have to struggle hard. But the technical persons, they write a bot and relax...
Thanks! Actually, my first thought was: "I can write a bot and get some money for 0 work". Of course, that's not the way to go if you want to have some good quality content. I am a bit worried that this idea may suffer due to bots and auto tools to be honest. So this post is only to know what is the overall experience after few months of usage.
It can be useful to all of us who recently joined!
You cannot expect sudden income from Steemit, patience & dedication is the key
Thanks! I expected that
You are always welcome
Well, I think it is a long way before begining having a real good experience : meeting people, share about subjects around photographies, and earn really some money with your pictures. But it seem promising, already share with some people, especially from french community, I think being a little part of this social network help to bring us. And what about your's opinion ?
I would like to share your opinion in few months from now :) I like the idea and I am quite positive about it, but I'm a bit worried about plenty of bots and auto post/comment tools.
Hope the steemit team will work on that in order to create high quality content network where all the parts can enjoy and profit.
