Perspectives on steemit / Personal way of understanding this platform

Traditionally we have always been enjoying common social networks like facebook, twitter, instagram, although at the same time we also enjoy contributing to these platforms content such as own images, reflections and even geographic location information , but we have ever wondered if these social networks reward us for the information we share on those platforms.

Based on this reasoning and in an honest and understandable way, the need arises for the emergence of a social network that allows us to be rewarded for the content we generate in this way of interaction, that is why steemit was born to excite and encourage their users to share quality information, and I personally believe over time evolves to make changes that increasingly benefit the different societies of the world.

steemit reward mode and style

First of all I have to say that steemit is a globalist platform, that is to say that it is spread all over the world, and that to reward us bloggers who provide their own content and quality is necessary for them to think about using a reward system that is established worldwide, another requirement that this payment system must meet is that it be independent and decentralized (that is, it is not real currency).

You can imagine how difficult it would be for steemit to pay the rewards with the currency of each country that lives on this platform.

That is why the payment system is made with the cryptocurrency, since it is universal, each country has its mechanisms to convert to their real currencies, the other is the implication that has in the mode of their transactions, which is Fast and efficient, thanks to its blockchain feature shape. The rewards that we are given is in steem and steem dollar, the two cryptocurrencies are being born if we compare them with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, although in my way of perceiving this world it is only a matter of time for steem and steem dollar to become in cryptocurrencies at the height of bitcoin.

Responsibility of the users committed to this platform

There is a series of regulations on the part of the platform that in general can be summarized to require publications with their own characteristics and quality. Regarding the originality of the articles, it is not a 100% requirement, we are asked that if we use a source on which we rely, then we will quote it, otherwise it will be declared plagiarism, above all because of the issue of respecting the rights From author. In the case of quality, it is a quality that I consider subjective, since the quality parameters are dictated by each curating community that has the commitment to vote (cure) content in its wide diversity, how many communities are there? Well many, in my case I have been using as labels to #cervantes, #castellano, #provenezuela and #entropia in the ample or little capacity that these communities have to vote, makes their different voting groups, have different criteria to vote (cure a post), that is why we have to keep in mind what and what types of elements are what each community demands, because they are all different, and as the saying goes, what is good for one is bad for the other.

Despite the fact that quality is subjective, generalized elements are always handled to be considered of good quality, one of them is that the publication reaches the depths of the readers, that it complies with the quality standards related to spelling and grammar, that there is a sense of understanding when you read the post, that is to say that you have coherence in the message you want to convey, another aspect is that the publication has aesthetics. Already for other parameters to be considered quality, it will depend on the different curator communities within steemit.

As we can see one of the things that steemit differs from other social networks, is that they reward us, but at the same time they demand a number of considerations, that when we reflect on it, we can conclude that publishing in steemit is a responsibility It is a matter of seriousness, since our articles are being seen by the whole world, and we must have a commitment and responsibility when publishing, otherwise, as happens with other social networks where you can publish anything regardless of not even if the rights of authorship are respected, of course this does not matter so much because they are not rewarded, but in this case if they pay us we have to comply with all the requirements that are asked of us.

Do the ant work in steemit

Many of what we started new, without much to investigate, without much to know, and without much to contribute, we can believe that we can become rich within steemit in a short time, misperception, since most of the users who are inside of the platform and have a large amount of steem and steem dollar is because they have harvested within the platform for a considerable time, dragging followers, associating with new communities and interacting in a great way to position themselves in high ranks.

The best strategy in my opinion to collect great futures in terms of steem and steem dollar profits is to do the work of the ant, that is, to work in a group, to do the small job, perhaps nobody wants to do, to focus on having realistic expectations, because if we do not take steemit as a long-term job we will be disappointed, and leave in a short time.

Final considerations

There are many things to learn in this world called steemit, the little I humbly learn, I plan to share with you, always looking for the sources that inspire me to generate new content that is of interest, it is necessary to be motivated forever. publish, vote and interact within the platform, is like the one that practices a sport, to be active you have to always train and be motivated, because if you fall into some of these factors, in the end all your potential will not help at all because All your effort will come down.
