What makes Steemit different from other social media sites? How do users earn rewards on Steemit?

Steemit is the social media blockchain built on the Steem application, which rewards users in the form of crypto known as Steem for publishing high-quality content free from plagiarism. Steemit supports users to grow and connect with other users worldwide. I see other social media networks as a waste of time and data on things that will not earn us rewards in return.

The most interesting thing about Steemit is that it does not include advertisements on their page, unlike Facebook and other social media platforms that generate money from the advertisements they upload on their platform. Authors who create articles earn rewards, and readers who upvote and comment in those content also earn curators reward. This show that the new token generate are split in form of reward between authors and curators for their contribution they make to the platform.

Steemit is a decentralized platform where the government does not have access to any information we publish, but in x, formerly known as Twitter, the government can decide which information should be published.

How does the community help content creators?

We have different communities on the Steemit platform, but it all depends on the community you would like to join. Communities help content creators write about any topic of their choice, and most of the time the moderators or admins organize contests in which the members are expected to participate and earn tokens with the aim of powering up the token. At the end of the contest, the winner will be selected and rewarded with prizes, usually in the form of Steem Power. The purpose of the community is to learn from each other and form strong connections with other members.

Why is blockchain important for Steemit?

Blockchain is important for the Steemit platform because it is a decentralized platform which is not controlled by company executives or the government of any country. Users have full power to control the activities that are going on in the platform. It also supports Steemit by not allowing fraudulent activities to take place and your information will not be corrupted as well.

Free transactions on the Steemit platform from the exchange are another major feature. Once you transfer the Steem, within a second the token will be delivered to your Steemit wallet. This will enable users to power up the Steem with the hope to influence the token.

This Blockchain supports users who hold Steem power. They are viewed as people who have resources that help them earn rewards through long-term investments.

What do upvotes and downvotes mean for posts?

In the Steemit platform, Upvotes play a crucial roles. Readers who enjoy your content will support the authors by their upvoting articles, generating good rewards and increasing the blogger's reputation. On the contrary, Downvotes are used to show disapproval towards articles with abusive language that do not contribute to the platform's development. The main purpose of downvoting is to discourage vote manipulation which may lead to a decrease in the user's reputation score. Therefore, we must be cautious as it can negatively impact our popularity.

How can users get more attention on their posts?

The following points must be put into consideration in order to get the attention of readers to read your post:

• Promote your write-up: It will be nice if you post on social media like Twitter or Facebook because they have millions of people who visit their sites every day. These social media networks will attract people to read your post and also allow new users to join Steemit.

• Use appropriate hashtags: Hashtags are essential tools that draw the attention of active users to easily search for the articles you post.

• Posting high-quality content: You must try as much as possible to continue publishing quality content, at least one article on a daily basis. Your write-up must be simple and straightforward. Avoid using jargon and complex grammar that people will find difficult to understand.

• Title: The headline must contain a meaningful sentence that allows readers to understand what you have for them.
