RE: Is it true you only earn for 7 days after posting and nothing after?
I want to reply to the comment so if other people see it here it will clear up confusion. It is true you only have a 7 day window to collect earnings on that post from the crypto currency side of things. I was initially concerned about this as well but that is where your Steem Power comes in. As you become more powerful your vote becomes worth more. We can upvote ourselves so a post you made months ago can still pay you in a round about way through your Steem Power because you are able to continually pay yourself more on future posts.
On top of that the Steem Power is earning 15% interest passively so it is always growing. You can also run auto vote bots to gain more Steem Power through curation rewards.
Next Level Elite Tip: make a footer with links to your best Amazon Merch shirts which can be put at the bottom of each post. Tell everyone they are able to get 15% off buying them with Bitcoin through Purse.io
That way you start creating multiple streams of income through your blog posts.
Steemit posts are indexed by Google so someone could be searching for information on starting a YouTube channel and trip across a Steemit post from 4 months prior and end up getting an Amazon Merch shirt!
Feel free to ask me more questions. Figuring out this system will take a week or two but once you do it makes a lot more sense.
Actually you do not earn 15% interest on your SP. It is true that fifteen percent of the new coins are allocated to SP holders but the inflation rate of the Steem currency is 9.5% per year and decreasing about 0.5% annually. So your actual interest is 15% of 9.5% which is 1.425%.
Hi brianphobos,
You say someone searching google may uses a post from steemit.
If the person searching google has not got a steemit acount they can
not see the post, before I joined steemit ( jerry banfield's fault ) I saw
links to steemit posts but could not view the post because I
was not a steemit member - just like none members of facebook -
but to view a youtube, you do not have to have an account you
can just view any video, that is why I use all and any free
internet advertising and promoting for the bands and artists I suport for free see

Thank you for the upvote :-)

I was able to browse around Steem and read blogs and watch videos without having and account
Thanks for the tips!
Hey Brian, is that okay to do? I know every forum tends to have it's own etiquete. I think the idea of putting some merch shirts in the footer, just wanted to make sure that's acceptable to do? Also is there actually an official footer you can set or are you just referring to basically at the bottom of your posting including a couple merch links? I wasn't familiar with that 15% off hack so thanks for mentioning that.
Yeah just basically at the bottom of your post. Yeah it is find to do. @crypt0 litters his post with affiliate links and no one seems to care. Makes good payouts. Others do the same as well.
I'm sending you some Steem Dollars. This could help you learn how to transfer money around in the internal wallet. One of the things I did early on because I didn't have much Steem Power was to seen 0.5 or 1 Steem Dollar to people who made a good post and put in the memo "My vote isn't worth much but I love your content so here is a tip. Thank you!" You could do this to heavy hitters or people just starting out who made a great post you enjoyed. It is your money now so you can do whatever you want with it!
Thanks for the Tip about Amazon Merch & Purse.io
I will add my Merch link and see how it goes;D~
No problem!
Actually, the structured data markup is not that great on steemit. I've opened a proposal for that and I'm working on a fix that I'll submit as a pull request at the end of this weekend. I'd be happy to get some feedback or suggestions in the comments of the post. Let's make steemit outrank Medium in searches!
