Business.com Promotes Steemit.com Encouraging Businesses To Join As Early Adopters To Cash In On The New Blockchain Based Social Media Startup.
Author Raphael Locsin just featured Steemit on Business.com!
It is a very positive post encouraging businesses to get involved as follows:
"1) Go to the site and register. They are currently giving away $10 worth of Steem to all new sign-ups.
2) Submit a well-written post introducing your brand. When you submit it, enter one tag only: introduce yourself. Right now, the most powerful users on Steemit are watching and rewarding new users by Upvoting their introduction posts.
3) Learn about how to follow the super users in order to write expert comments on posts related to your business that already have their attention. This will give your brand exposure since these posts generally get high traffic. These comments could also net you anything up to $300 from Upvotes.
4) Create and post great content related to your business. If you have a blog, consider rewriting some of your best posts and reposting on Steemit. If you already use videos, then simply post those to the platform.
5)If you want an even faster start, invest a few thousand dollars directly into Steem Power. This will give your business instant authority on the platform and, since Steem Power is a type of share, grant you a stake in the company."
@nathanbrown This is Raphael Locsin. I'm curious as to why you've never reached out to me about the donation of funds. I never asked for the money; however, I don't appreciate you using my name to make money without contacting me first.
I'm so glad you wrote me! With everything else I have going on I totally spaced paying you! Can you post proof you are the author so I can know it is you and I will send you the SMD I earned on this?
Well done
Very good your article
I agree. The more coverage like this we get the better. The more this post makes, the more the author of the Business.com article will get as a gift from me to thank him for the coverage, and if the payout gets big enough it could entice more promotion of this sort for authors off site.
What's your take on the fact that about half of the start-up equity was already bought up before the company went public?
Sounds like very other startup to me.
@nathanbrown this is good news, but as brands start join steemit, there is one scenario that could occur, brand become whales and then upvote content that promotes their product, this could lead to product placement in article, like movies, I am not sure if that is going to be good. Brands do need to come in for the platform to go mainstream, but question is how
@unrealizback, if Steemit.com is going to be successful then what you described is EXACTLY what needs to happen and what will happen. After the speculation craze, there needs to be a reason for people to purchase SP that isn't just about speculation that Steem will increase in value. SP needs to be a useful investment on it's own, and it will be only if SP drives sales and revenue. Basically SP right now is seen as a way of gaining influence on the platform in order to earn more currency, but down the road SP will be both a stake in the platform and it will be essentially and advertising purchase.
If SP doesn't have this advertising value, then a long term drop in the price of steem (which I think will happen eventually due to the 100% annual inflation rate) will just drive people away from holding SP. Something, besides currency speculation, needs to drive people to buy SP again, and that something is essentially the ability to get exposure aka advertising.
