How To Be A Steemit SUPERSTAR! (with @TerryBrock)
In this video, I talk with @TerryBrock, a marketing coach, journalist and public speaker about the opportunities Steemit provides and how one can master those opportunities and become successful on the platform.
Steemit is the Facebook alternative on the Steem blockchain. A site where individuals can post what they would on Facebook, Twitter or Reddit anyways, but potentially make a decent amount of money if they provide good insight and follow a few steps.
People make money off of the upvote of their posts or comments.
Of course there is also DTube (the YouTube alternative), DLive (for live streaming), DMania (for memes) and so many other fundamentally necessary platforms built on top of the Steem blockchain.
Terry Brock digs into how individuals can make the best of their time on Steemit, catch people's eyes and be successful.
Of course thumbnails are important. Topical tags seen trending on the home page are also important. A great product is important. So instead of writing "I had a sandwich today", write "I had a sandwich today, this is what was on it, this is how it was made, this is where I got it, this is my review" etc.
Steemit provides reputation scores so unlike dealing with trolls on Facebook, people are actually kind to each other in the way they would be in person on Steemit as they actually have incentive to be a decent person which is one of the many great things about Steemit. One of the things that makes Steemit an amazing community.
Let's replace the mainstream media and bring this diverse product to the market for all to enjoy! We need to promote this platform as we're on the ground floor of a historic, decentralized movement.
At work right now! Will definitely watch this over a few drinks tonight!
Thanks Shaun :)
Just watched it. I’m about to follow Terry right now!
Thank you, @shaungerow! I appreciate it.
My pleasure! Always great to get tips on how to improve your base on Steemit! It inspires me to post on here, more!
My pleasure! Happy to help! Anything that breaks the monopoly of the mainstream media is a good thing!
Wow. This is eye opening. Thanks for the step by step analysis.
You guys did a wonderful job
Thank you! :)
It's a pleasure, keep the good work going boss
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Oh, this is a GREAT interview to send people when they ask me what steemit is about. I will try to put this advice to use myself! Thanks to both of
you!
Thank you! :) It's our pleasure!
Thank you for saying that @fishyculture. Glad you liked it and cna share it with others.
Good post! I agree, being more descriptive is a great way to engage the audience and grow your profile over time! Thanks for the post!
Encouraged that steemit is a great community. Sometime it appears otherwise. One need to identify what makes steemit tick. Thanks
Yes, there is definitely a strategy to Steemit. What's funny is that it's a very similar strategy to grow your Steemit following as it is for YouTube, and then again, my channel is growing at snail's pace. Whereas on Steemit, not even a year, almost 1K followers, a nice pace that isn't too quick, not too slow, just right for me. Although, I have a theory that YouTube doesn't like niche content. But I will not fall into the trap of talking about gossip and stuff like that. Those who find my channel, stay.
I can definitely attest that the strategy for growing a Steemit following works. Some days I post a lot and make a lot, other times I make more by posting less often. I'm still trying to find the best times to post, but commenting and sharing with others on each other's posts is very important to meeting new people and making new Steemit friends :)
Yep strategy ( content quality, consistency, and giving out ) is a key 🔑
I love the little key you added ;)
You are right, @binkyprod. It is all about strategy and finding ways to help others. Thank you for your comment.
Well thanks for the tips. It's good to hear these friendly reminders that allow us to check ourselves, if we're keeping up with our goals in a strategic manner and to know that we're doing what we need to even if it does take some time sometimes.
Only the things that sell, work on youtube. Youtube is owned by google and google is a search engine. If you make content that is searched by people then you can easily get successful on youtube.
It took me two years to achieve the same amount of success on youtube , i achieved here on steemit in 2 months. Yes, in that matter steemit is fast.
Yeah, I hear you. I do what is in alignment with me, not what people are necessarily searching for. I know however that there are other people who make videos about theories and analysis about for example Dragon Age and who have lots of subscribers. So there must be a way for me to find those people and bring them to my channel too, those viewers.
when I can be like @joshsigurdson yes, it's really amazing.
