A question I ask myself a lot, does only who get benefits enjoys from Steemit? (answer inside)

in #steemit7 years ago

"No one read my posts!!!, I invest many hours and I HAVE 5 VIEWS AND 0.02 CENTS😢"

I started using the platform a little over six months ago,
I remember how my post was swallowed up in a lot of posts.

The frustration that when I invested heavily in the post, there was simply no one to look at.

However, since I started using Steemit I use Steemit primarily for reading information, I feel that the information is less commercialized (because of the decentralization)
I hardly read information on Facebook, so I can use the Instagram to see beautiful pictures.

My personal problem is that there is not enough content in my native language - Hebrew
But thanks to @techslut and @yairdd the problem begins to be solved.

I know that many people will find it hard to understand but it is very difficult for me to read things that are not in my native language fluently

I remember my initial feeling when I entered the Steemit platform

"Well, I'll make money from" like ", even if it's a penny, on Facebook I'm all day user getting thousands of likes and I do not get anything."

But for some reason this thought quickly turned into "how Steemit can help me financially"

I do not like those who are pious, "I'm not here to earn," it can be true in exceptional cases.

On the other hand, I really like to read articles in Steemit, the content is much better than other places.
It's not just that the platform is growing(you can look at statistics about Steemit on @reko profile), the financial incentives give people the inspiration to write about themselves.

I think it was very interesting for me to see posts from my very good friends who are on Facebook.

They choose to be very politically correct instead of writing things about themselves, perhaps through Steemit I would know them better as the famous phrase.

"One post is worth a thousand pictures"😉

Sometimes I think to myself that it was a very nice magazine to get with the best articles that were in Steemit in a certain month.

According to Steemit's statistics there are 61,000 active users.

Steemit website is among the first places in the world according to "Alexa" (among the first 1000)

I do not believe that there are 61,000 people who make a lot of money on Steemit, maybe 5% of them earn something significant.

I see that there are another 75% who really love the platform and another 20% who are trying to pave their way up and make Steemit another income. (According to statistics I made in the Discord group of 250 people)

The future of Steemit looks good to me!
I think even if I were not earning at Steemit, I would go in for reading content.(maybe not everyday)
It's obviously much nicer to earn and much more satisfying that people pay attention to you, obviously it's very annoying that you flag or when someone.
But still, in my opinion even people who do not earn at Steemit benefit from the platform

This is amazing.

Note :

It may also be worth supporting content that is not just in English!
Content in Korean, Chinese, etc.
This way people will create content in foreign languages and attract people from different countries.
(Or do a delegation for people who know how to read foreign languages)
Because most SP is found in English speakers
Steemit is also the site where the largest percentage of visitors is from the United States.
We need a variety

Thanks.

I agree the content on Steemit gets better and better compared to other platforms. Especially after you start following the right people for your particular interests. The monetary side is largely a bonus for most users or a dream to make steemit a fulltime occupation.

Looking forward to seeing where Steemit evolves to!

Israeli users are such a small percentage of the users on Steemit, like 0.001% and we make a lot of noise like we are 20%, just like in real life :)

I totally agree with you, I just love reading posts here! I think I have never read so many posts on other social media platforms like I read here, and that's why I love being here so much.

Oh, and about the Hebrew content, this is why I created @recommendation so I can post about things I like, in Hebrew.

מקווה שיצטבר שם חומר טוב 😜

גם אני :)

Very good post @amiramnoam !If everyone thought like you... Steemit would be better !I think that everything is still ahead.

יש פה עדיין מה לשפר... הרבה זמן לא עלו פיצ'רים חדשים. ואני מסכים איתך אגב שצריך לאפשר לתגמל פוסטים מסויימים מעבר ל 7 ימים. השיטה הנכחית מעודדת ספאם תכלס כמו כל שיטת כרייה כיום

Hmm
You have a very good concept here.
This is my current situation with a little reputation as well.
I am not feeling the good weather of steemit .
I felt like going off when i got punished but you guys are very motivating.
I wish you help me get back on my grind.
Together we succeed

A very nice experience in steemit
I also now feel the same as before,
Now I'm getting bored because every post I do not have a lot of noise.
But I read your post right now I am motivated to achieve success in steeemit,
Please support and help me to be as successful as you are @amiramnoam

hey @siponk
If steemit makes you feel bored so don't write posts...
write interesting comments like this :)
and then when you have experienced after you saw a lot of (good) posts you can write good posts by yourself :)

I see many users that take profits from comments..
but if you are here only for profits it's very hard to success because the passion to write should come first and read content should come first..

This comment actually says more about your post than the post does.....because it's your post in action. Nicely done!
And I enjoyed the post too BTW :)

You are right

We all want our posts to be seen, doesn't seem like many people have noticed me either. I also aim for a couple minute read posts, since I personally don't like reading walls of text TL;DR Spending hours for pennies is not ideal. That said I feel I still make good content in a shorter format. Though your first statement is what brought me here, I feel similarly to you in that my time spent seems unrewarded. If you ask @yallapapi it's pay to play I find myself agreeing with him, basically this is a closed market for marketing. Pay for upvotes get more traffic, just like when advertisers pay google and facebook. We just eliminated the middle men.

Of course if you are creating high quality content in long forum it only works so long as readers here are interested and tap or click your post. Anyways I know its cutthroat here and the flag wars have degraded the trending page a bit but in the longer term I feel steem is strong and highly supported. The more creators we are able to bring in the better the content and the better content we have to enjoy and be rewarded for doing so! I think The DIY section has huge potential still, lots of focus still on this platform and cryptos in general. Getting tired of it, I'm looking for broader content creation.

I'm interested and i'll ask, do posts upvoted on weeks or months after their post date still earn any rewards?

I have been seeing many people now have steemit as their fulltime income. I think even I'm a person struggling to grow, being in earlier stages. Persistency will pay for the efforts I believe. Nice article by the way. The First line in this article attracted and dragged me in. 😊

great post.... I am in the US and am still in the " no one reads my posts stage" but my focus is not the stuff the masses are looking for..... So I will have to accept that and keep learning how to catch the attention of more people and make them want to visit my posts....

Your writing is very interesting to read, as you say. I keep writing even though nobody sees and reads my writing. I am sure One day someone will help me.

@starlost i would like to read some of ya posts. I'm also new here. Hit me up on discord @degem2priceless
