Actually finding content that is personally interesting to me. I have my Facebook feed tailored to my interests, and it does not consist of posts from personal profiles. It consists of posts in common interest groups and pages of people and businesses who produce content or products that interest me. This also provides me with some idea of how to target an audience with my own content.
This level of customization and targeting seems to be difficult to achieve in this platform. I would love to see the layout improve to the point where our Steemit is our business and designing that business includes plentiful dynamic options, as apposed to hunting down interests and hoping to find a targeted audience.
My comment from a few days ago, in another article's comment section:
Steemit now is a little place.
I think, most of new members come to earn. Earn fast, now, a lot. It doesnt work. But they dont know. They can see the trending page, a 5 min video in dlive make 500$, a two-picture post make 200$.
And they think, its work like youtube or insta. But is not.
I think, steemit its like a marketplace, but we are the seller AND the buyer, and the market-boss give for us a money every morning, "go, and spend this". Its a little weird idea (i like it btw), so its almost unbeleviable for most of the people, and for the new users. They can see the working, and they dont believe it.
If the community can teach this simple rule for every new member, we win.
I can understand... And while I'm not really a "Steemit" user anymore I can remember using that site.
I do agree that expectations are a little bit skewed from several things.
One of the things that make us decide to not use the term TRENDING on our Steem interface.
There's still some more things we can do to help people set their own healthier expectations.
'Flagging' aka 'downvoting'. It is not meant to be personal but a form of negative feedback.
Take this as an example:
Flagged for disagreement of rewards; take this flag to cover your post as well. If you want your comment to gain visibility you can use 'declined payment' in the options.
I think it's mostly the differentiation between Steem, SP and SBD, along with the rewards period of 7 days which looks kinda arbitrary to a lot of people, especially when they spend a lot of time producing their pieces / posts.
I believe the concepts of just posting carelessly, commenting carelessly, following carelessly, voting carelessly, and resteeming carelessly is what NEW comers/users don't understand how it can reflect on them.
exactly my point... What did you find difficult?? i think the voting power was quite difficult to grasp at first. Also maximing profits from votes, bidbots and delegation was even harder.

NEW USERS REALLY STRUGGLE WITH THIS CONCEPT
I use upvoting in comments mostly as a form of curating the order of the comments. Which is another concept most people don't understand. haha
Also another concept is that you can sort by other methods other than reward (chronological and by reputation)
Good answer. Have an upvote this time round.
Hi! i m a new user , i know it's really hard to find good good education for steemit , but you are a good explainer.
I think it's mostly the differentiation between Steem, SP and SBD, along with the rewards period of 7 days which looks kinda arbitrary to a lot of people, especially when they spend a lot of time producing their pieces / posts.

hahaha

people don't decide a particular niche and everyone write about cryptocurrency.
you do not make money from steemit everyone comes on thinking they will be the next youtube style star in steemit that aint true
Steemit is a website interface ... steem is the blockchain. Steemit doesn't give ANY money to begin with
