RE: The Difference Between A "Post" & A Publication
My professors in college used to tell me that Wikipedia is not a "credible source" to use in published articles, and the only internet sources that are "credible" are .edu website
I was told so to last year and I guess the reason for that is because Wikipedia is an open source where any one can make contributions whether valid or invalid. So to some extent, it is not 100% valid but some part can be used to make comparison with other sources.
The point I want to get across is that there is a near perfect 50/50 split among Steemians who post, and Steemians who publish articles. The rewards seem to be split 50/50 respectively across the platform as a whole in those two categories as well. A lot of Steemians that pour passion into their writing, videos, music, and/or photography get paid less than many Steemians that just simply post. I watch it happen all the time, and so does everyone else.
That is so true because some came for money, others for the passion while the third category came for the money and passion. So if the steem platform must grow, the reward system should be in a way that good content should be rewarded, else we would continue in posting rather than publication.
yea I agree with the categories you've said. I classify myself under the 3rd one actually. My primary inspiration once I earn here is my younger brother who has 4 kids. I wanted to save my earnings here to be able to send some Christmas presents for his kids. As you know, I am a full time housewife and can't work yet. When I was still in the Philippines, it was my own tradition to buy gifts for them every Christmas. I treat them like my own. And if il be blessed more from my blogs, I would share it through community activities here such as creating a contest like I recently have done. We can do many things here on Steemit.
I hope you enjoy being here as I do, @inspiredgideon1 :)
God bless. :)
Yea it has being wonderful here on the steem platform. Meeting great people while I earn, also building my writing skills because my study in school is different from my hobby as a writer. In my final year in school studying mathematics and statistics, so building my writing skills and spellings is so needful.
I also came for the money while my passion keeps me going even when the pay is low. The steem platform has being feeding me and it has being good but not too easy.
Well for the Christmas gift, I hope I will also get some portion of it?
Why not? 😉
Ok then. Will be patiently waiting
