The best part of Steemit is the incentive to improve.. Why has Facebook become such a bore? There is no incentive for anyone to improve their posts.
I think I am an ok amateur photographer. But format? Writing style? Put a meme in a comment? Nope, dont know how to do that...
But there is an incentive for me to get better.. I'm learning markdown and html. I've picked up a few books on creative writing. I'm taking many, many pictures a day to improve my technique.. I'm following the bloggers who are creating great content..
Exactly. Facebook isn't FOR people to try and improve. It seems to me it's mainly about keeping in touch through superficial sweet nothing posts that do nothing except remind your friends and family that "I'm here." There's actually some value in that, as it keeps people connected, but I'm not all that interested in it.
Facebook doesn't make it easy to connect with like minded people who aren't in your friends list. People don't post their ideas, they post what they think their family and friend want to see. Or hope they want to see.
Steemit connects you with people who are into what you're into. And it exposes you to ideas and information you'd never see on Facebook. This is the place for people trying to provide something of value, and for people to discover that that is a possibility, even though they got on here thinking it was gonna be like Facebook plus money.
Steemit will be a Facebook killer not by being like Facebook, but by showing people that the energy they expend on the internet can be much more valuable to a lot more people.
Super motivating and super real, I read every single word of the post. I am going to resteem this and hope a lot more people read it.
You're right about everything and I wrote a similar article recently, but I missed out on some points that you mentioned. Thank you for this! To the moon! :D
I was just reading this and thinking damn why didn't i wrote something like that. Honestly every single word said is totally makes sense .90% of the comments just made because they wanna be recognized by big fishes or to get something back .Enjoyed the reading and how structured every single point here.
I havent read such a sick how to steem post in my short time on this platform. Such insight and presented in such a "kickass" way right on @rok-sivante. Keep on steeming bro. Peace out. Have had to resteem
What complete and utter garbage... now I know why I haven't used steem since last year, if this guy is getting paid... it is ALL fluff, this whole article was fluff and curse words, and poor grammar... yes, but you did let all your bad qualities hang out, congrats. Moving on.
Everyone seems to blog the shite out of Steemit after HF19. Fortunately only good articles are on hot and trending, even though they are 1 meme with 600$ rewards. Lol, joke aside.
After 19, Steemit really needs to push it's content quality boundries to the highest possible measure.
Another nice article of how to not suck at Steemit. Thank you.
Dang, It kind of hurts that such valuable posts as this gets drowned in many posts after a while, I so much wish there was still a resteem button, I want to say a million thank you's for this post, but as you said in one of the comments, the best thank you is paying it forward and applying what has been learnt to becoming better, and this is what it is.
Its amazing how golden your old contents are, your consistency is awesome. Thank you for this spurr and motivation.
Thanks for sharing this.
Gave me a different prospective.
There is one word "Niyama" in Sanskrit, means discipline which makes things better. I hope to follow the Niyama for the betterment.
I just gave you another Redfish or minnow vote! Made me laugh. Now I need to go see if I graduated from the bowl into the ocean yet! My vote is worth 4 cents now after HF19.
Some of your HARD FACTS are not so hard but I enjoyed your article and I upvoted it. According to 2016 statistics published by the Small Business Administration (SBA), about 78% of small business startups survive the first year and about half of all employer establishments survive at least five years. A third survive ten years or more. This is a far cry from the previously long-held belief that 50 percent of businesses fail in the first year and 95 percent fail within five years. http://www.businessknowhow.com/startup/business-failure.htm
