Steemit is a Social Media Platform First and Blockchain Second.
"Here's the heart of the matter: The essence of social media is knowing your audiences and engaging them in something they love!"
I absolutely love the Steemit platform but sometimes we forget that this is a social media platform first and foremost. Without the social aspect of this platform it would be pretty boring frankly.
There are many reasons to love Steemit.
- We can make Crypto Currency here.
- We can dominate Google search.
- We can build a personal brand.
- Our content actually has comments.
- Most of all we have a community of people who love the platform.
I was asked, "Randy how come I am not succeeding on Steemit? "
I prefer to be frank when people ask me questions like this. It took me just a few minutes to diagnose why the user was not performing well.
A. Not following other users.
B. Not commenting on other users content.
C. Not Upvoting comments by users on their posts.
D. Not formatting posts.
E. Not using multiple types of media in their post.
F. Just plain old not being part of the community.
G. Not creating content regularly.
The recipe for success on any social media platform is essentially the same. The one big difference is that there is money involved on Steemit. If you can look past the money and treat it like a typical social media platform you will do well.
This means engage, connect and create.
Can you please explain to me how we can dominate google search? Serious question not trying to be smart.
Format properly, include multiple media types, SEO images and use proper H1,H2 and H3 tags.
Could you expand on the proper use of the H tags?
I do my best to source any photos/info I find using google. Are you saying this will increase Steem post presence on Google Searches therefore dominate google search? I will admit I am not actively searching google to find Steem posts, but I have never come across a Steem Post while searching.
@cryptoctopus had a great post recently about improving SEO for a website using Steemit.
In a nutshell, rel="noopener" > rel="no follow"

Google is search engine only not a social platform, Google's algorithm is too much smart and Google show what he wants in first page....
For some reason, if I dial Steem in Google, he takes out Steam. So the search engine is not too fond of Steem :(
Steemit definitely encourages engagement and participation in a unique way that I think has amazing merit. I think if the platform itself can see some improvements to get us on par with the likes of a facebook in terms of functionality, steemit will overtake them all!
Your post is like gold to me. Thenks for sharing!
Thanks for the tips. I regret not becoming very active within the community since I had registered in 2016. STEEM has much more potential as an altcoin that I had originally thought and I will become much more invested into it.
Its my second month here and I'm already loving it :)
keep going pal the sky is the limit
Thats what I like to hear!
how often do you steem
BAM!
Short and sweet!
Its obvious u understand steemit well and I am sure many will benefit from you sharing your knowledge and experience.
SteemON!
well said lets keep steeming its agreat thing
Yes it is!
I agree, Steemit is so much more than just an outlet for a cryto, it's a wonderful growing community! Thanks for your great posts!
Hahaha just reading your title again and I was thinking....
Really Steemit IS a blockchain first, as it is Steemit that is BUILT upon the BLOCKCHAIN. Yet at the same time what is the fun or where are the payouts without the PEOPLE who are HERE because of the SOCIAL MEDIA aspect that is what we EXPERIENCE as Steemit. For many here on Steemit they don't even know what the blochain is...They just know if they post and comment they can make $$$$ hahahahaha so yes ur right in your point which is that if you want to succeed here on Steemti you must Know its a social media platform and u must have a good comprehension of the social vibe of this community. It is the social media aspect that gives Steemit its failure or success, its LIFE.
Another cool note, my up vote put the post at $22.22! Great number!
Thank you @Quinneaker I appreciate everything you do on this platform. Soon the numbers of people who actually understand what a blockchain is will be tiny compared to the masses.
That means a lot to me. Thanks for the recognition and I hope to continue to help the steemit community and economy!
Been loving ur posts. Keep up the good work!
what determines the number of people who will see your post.....can following the highest nomber of people help
Following people in and of it self will NOT help you get views. Though it IS possible that when you follow someone you will get a follow in return. But even then u still have to get the up vote.
So what that means is the ONLY solution is to produce QUALITY content, content people feel like "this is valuable and deserves my up vote" otherwise you will not really have any success.
So find what ur best at, know the most about and put together comprehensive posts.
SteemON!
@hilarski thank you su much brother
You are right, because the lazy nature must be removed away from the stemian self
It is a great social media platform. I love the comments also. So many websites now do not have real people commenting on content. I'm thinking I missed out on the early start of steemit. Like many others and wish I would have done more when it launched but it keeps getting better and better so maybe we are still in early enough to become whales one day! Thanks for the awesome posts @hilarski.
