RE: Does the "Just Write" Advice work for Steemit?

in #steemit7 years ago

In my humble opinion, the most important advantage of this platform is that it eliminates 95% of the money friction. And by that I understand that it makes the road to money shorter. You don't have to go through a convoluted process in which there are guest posts, paid posts, paid links and so on and so forth (not to mention ads that are paid after 30-60 days).

But that doesn't make the road easier. You still have to create and maintain a community by yourself. You know, like in the good ol' times of blogging. That didn't change and it won't change.

Thanks for the heads up on FB about this post, I think you just discovered a solid use case for Facebook Messenger: let other people know about what you wrote on Steemit :)

Agreed, but there is a certain amount of urgency in this platform also because your earnings have to fit into a very short window - in a month any traffic you get will not pay out (though you can hope the person who finds you is also a Steemit user and becomes a follower - vast majority of the world does not know this site exists).

maintain a community

That is still my hope, will stick at it :)

Would be good if there was a feed or opt-in alert built in so that you would be immediately pinged on these things but as a substitute it seems to have worked this time ;)
