The MINNOWS have approved - steemengine advertising could be the future of STEEMIT!

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Sadly, this post has 123 upvotes, 83 comments, and only $40? Do whales not care about progress?

The King DEMANDS more recognition than this!



I recommend you listen to #MONEY while you read!





To you minnows, thank you for the upvotes! STEEM ON with the steemengine - if implemented, in house ads WILL affect you no matter your chosen blogging topic! If ads are only able to point to steemit posts and not outside sites, we ALL can benefit! To you whales, its time to follow the decisions of the school! Go with the flow, and upvote!

UPVOTE = AGREE with the #steemengine

DOWNVOTE (flag) = DISAGREE with the #steemengine ...


Collaborating and Debating both generate steem. You are rewarded either way. And many of you have wondered, "Will steem ever let us advertise or have ads?" MAYBE BABY! So let's do this! HERE IS HOW ADVERTISING *MIGHT* WORK, here on steemit.com:



Let steemit users advertise their steem post by paying steem to steemit.com who distributes the advertising revenue equally as steem to ALL valid steemit users, regardless of steampower or popularity. Viewers of the post do not have to upvote it if it is garbage. So there is a chance of loss. The advertising will evolve to become always good advertised content! 

NOTE: only 1 small box ad will be shown, under tags and topics to the right, which will not detract much at all from the same size images of trending steemits on the left. 


POSSIBLE REQUIREMENT: Steemit users can only claim this daily ad dividend if they upvote *and* comment one post per day. While steem tends to dissipate to everyone around, you gotta be there to breathe it in.

(Do you like the click bait steem engine on this post?)




Basically, if you are a person who thinks steemit users might need to hear an important message from you, or you want our extra special steemit user target market to buy from you, THEN even if you do not think your post will be upvoted (controversial content, salesy etc.) - at least now you have the chance to be heard! (NOTE: 3% of viewers buying your services could be massive steem income, if you ever want to sell something for steem that is... But 3% of steemers upvoting wont ever make you go viral enough to get a lot of views.) Does anyone know the metrics required to "snowball" to the top of the trending feed? Steemit is an all or nothing snowball blog system, and steemit users who can't get a viral golden snowball should still get to profit a tad bit more evenly from steemit. I am especially considering the steemit users who cannot get $30,000 for making a 6 minute video of them doing something they probably already do every day of their life anyways - or because they weren't born with big boobs, well... now THEY TOO will be able to profit! @dan @ned @dantheman @smooth @berniesanders @steem @steemit, UPVOTE THIS DEVS! and STEEM ON...


This new advertising idea I have created we shall now call the STEEM ENGINE:

P.S. I am ok if the idea is rejected, but it's fun to throw around possible developments of an infant project like this. I was a steemit critiquer but I now see that even an account with only $10 worth of steem can suddenly earn $1000's of dollars and since the makeup video that infuriated everyone has passed, most of the posts are actually GOOD and INFORMATIVE - and thus I am pleased - not to mention STEEM is continuing to trend up in price, I see no reason why anyone would waste time posting on facebook anymore. On facebook you have to PAY for more viewers... On STEEM if your content is good enough you GET PAID... Over there, you can only spout hot air! HERE, you get to fume STEEM!

GODSPEED to the GOLDEN GOOSE OF STEEM.

And the really uncool spamming of your post in other people's posts. I commented on a similar advertisement in a post's comment:

Hey roelandp I'd like to comment on this promotion of your post. It's very tall, made more so by the unneeded image, which uses more vertical space in a comment section for someone else's post. I don't feel that's fair to whoever's post you place a comment promoting your own post in. You're diverting minds away from this post and into yours.

nobody would ever see it if I didnt spam it. If you dont PERSONALLY know a whale on steemit, good fucking luck. Not saying I blame you, but consider my perspective as I have considered yours @pfunk

You can go about it in a less obnoxious way, including sticking to tags that are on-topic and if you must link your post from other posts, do it from ones with a related topic and don't make it a giant image-filled trainwreck.

It's in my interest to keep Steemit high quality and if everyone posted unrelated spam in comments, it wouldn't be. Consider that please.

Had to stay on this page to hear the full song ;) Was just talking to my friends about Floyd the other day and about the famed "Floyd hole."

Apparently he took too much LSD and became a hermit:

He went into self-imposed seclusion until his death in 2006.

could you please downvote or flag the comment that dissed me for "autoplay music - muting you" ??? I don't want to see that negativity in my comment feed while i check for gems like what you have posted here! <3 Pink floyd is acceptable autoplay music, i could understand me autoplaying garbage pissing someone off, but the majority of people will like how the music suits this post. Please downvote that comment if you can find it? Listenting to your video now, EPIC reply! <3 cheers and steeeeeeem on!

HES IN A FLOYD HOLE - FILL THE TUB WITH ICE, NOW! LOLOLOL

Upvoting since you put time into this!

I think you overestimate how much control steemit.com has over the content that shows up here. If steem continues to be successful, advertisers are simply going to buy steem power and use that to push their ads to the front page.

correct, it is decentralized only to an extent. Anyone with enough $$$ or enough hired big boob models can easily gain enough steem to monopolize the trending feed.

an "official" advertising square might not even be needed at all!

As promised, I've read your proposal, thought about it for a bit and came to a conclusion that it is a good idea. No surprise here :)

One serious obstacle might be that the Steemit owners seem to want to avoid ads of any art and nature. Maybe you can persuade them to allow in-house and in-community ads. It is well worth trying.

Good luck!

hmm... I agree. ads can be screened so they can make whatever rules THEY or the community wants to adopt. I know facebook has an advertising limitation - no porn etc...

Art and nature is a figure of speech :)

Let's just say any kind of ads. I think I've read in the book that they don't want Steemit to become yet another Facebook or G+

Steemit is already has a lot of ads driven to the tops of pages by the whims of whales. I'd rather see the format more like it is, but have commercially driven upvotes and high-rankings be limited with filters and clearly marked.

its a delicate subject no doubt. Why not allow ads to a certain steemit or steam level? It's an option, but I definitely do NOT want the clutter of facebook or G+ at all. Steemit has a unique charm that I have not seen in a while. And the money is backed well enough to work.

it might not be noticed bottom right, I am jsut being generous to the fact they have no ads at the moment - maybe one under the trending posts? ON TOP is a bit much, everyone does that. it annoys me with google for example. LOL

Yes, the rules for posting ads should be set and followed well and strict enough.

By the way, in your example, the ad is way down and to the right. I fear that it wouldn't be noticeable enough down there...

why ads of "Art and nature" can you link to that particular post?

This might be a good idea! UPVOTED! :)

BTW how did you make the autoplay on the youtube video?

Thanks!

YOUTUBELINK.COM/BLAHBLAH+*at_the_very_end you must add ?rel=0&autoplay=1 before the "

so <iframe "" " "" " src="link.link/link PLUS ?rel=0&autoplay=1" make sense?

Thanks a lot! it wasn't working because before I wasn't using IFRAMES...

Nice!

I attempted a funny post to help newbies not be intimidated by whales..

thanks for sharing, I will check it out!

thank you let me know what ya think :D

grats on $500

intriguing idea, I think the concept of Ads is a hot topic and needs more/a lot of thought put into it in the future.

Muting you. You're posting that shit all over STEEMIT. And with autoplay music. Not cool. Bye.

your post is genius, the music is well done on it but your tags are a simply pure spam. What has this topic to do with "marijuana"... this is a real pain here on steemit and for a 400mio market cap it is questionable that it even work. So please do it the right way.... your skills don`t need that :-)

the train is using marijuana as fuel! Haha but you got me - I just know people tend to vote on NON genius make up posts . From life experience, nobody wants tesla free energy tho it would save the world. BOOBS get far more attention. My apologies for being a rebel

Yeah I know... thats the reason I stopped writing my 3d printing guide here. I am not sure if that whole steemit will not go under in a large spam wave. Imagine when people write bots and so on in masses. There is no real QC build in yet - when there are coming just a few people now it will get uninteresting.

The main problem I think is in less frequent topics this posts dominate.... so best example today the "marijuana" topic. In top 12 stories of topic "marijuana" (trending) are 5 of totally unrelated content. And that is really uninteresting for any user what see not only the $ here.

I wrote a post of it today:
