Hi Steemit community,

**First off,** **I wish to thank @milanademort for extending the invitation to Steemit and making a post about my page. Haven't had the chance to properly introduce myself and post** ![10469841_10203225355447043_5301602053893649762_n.jpg](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mikhailkuznetsov/Steemit/mvkprofile-3-2.jpg) It's exciting to find an engaged and dedicated community built on top of a tightly-knit passion for innovation, disruption, and advancement.

Before we dive in, a little about me.

My name is Mikhail Kuznetsov, I am originally from Russia now residing in Los Angeles, California. Currently, I am the CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) at *RSD (Real Social Dynamics).* Additionally, I am the President / CEO at *WhiteCoda* - a lifestyle company with a tech branch dedicated to providing White-Label CRM Solutions to Internet Entrepreneurs generating $100,000+/mo in revenue. Furthermore, I am a music producer with degrees in Keyboard Performance, Audio Engineering, and Post Production. ![1389741_523924461127665_427010418_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRCB6RhoKZcKc1eg8CGfwMzBA1K91RXZvwZmiJXmPd7Be/1389741_523924461127665_427010418_n.jpg)

With all of those things in mind,
let me tell you why I decided to join Steemit:

I have worked with clients such as Tai Lopez and Simple Pickup, as well as with a lot of other YouTubers / celebrities that you may be familiar with. Time and time again, one concept comes up over and over again: **"How do I monetize my content?"** For over a decade, almost every single one of my clients has brought up this issue. Certain platforms are great at certain things... **- Twitter for conversations...** **- Instagram for images...** **- YouTube for video...** ![734397_10201275391179155_1162083036_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYmFynkQDFKyyCNqFB2eRWjCSp91LqaGXzaDkdnBXwH66/734397_10201275391179155_1162083036_n.jpg)

However, there was one thing that has ALWAYS been missing:

*Monetization* And not just "monetization", but "monetization you can LIVE OFF" - there's a big difference. Sure, you can get ad revenue, but that pales in comparison to true monetization provided by other sources. That is exactly why almost every successful YouTuber I know has a monetized back-end (whether it's digital products, brand deals, etc) ![12070798_166873033662845_1591584892_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPQfsbSy7YC1pKCsMmUSvBW9qcP8nVDuJp13KBFFWcqbx/12070798_166873033662845_1591584892_n.jpg)

So... why me? Why Steemit?

I think Steemit has 3 great things going for it: **1. Incentivized Content** I hammer my staff on sustainable systems CONSTANTLY. The first thing that excites me about Steemit is the ability to ACTUALLY MONETIZE your content. This is huge. The incentive-driven model brings a sense of purpose to the content creation process that is often missing from the casual blogger / writer sphere. This aspect of the platform is extremely powerful, and should not be under-stated. **2. Tight-Knit Community** In a way, the community here on Steemit reminds me of the old days of Tumblr (more on that in a second). There is a sense of "no-bullshit" attitude, which lends itself to a high standard with respect to content quality. Basically, the people on Steemit are Savvy (yes, YOU, I see you!), and that opens to door to positive synergy - something that is a heavy success metric when it comes to social-driven platforms. **3. High Sharability** The content on Steemit is inherently sharable. This is due in part to a combination of #1 and #2 above, added to the high level of relevancy for the topic in question. If you go on Google and search "Cryptocurrency Algorithm Manipulation", you are not likely to share that article on your Facebook feed - but with Steemit it feels almost natural, almost organic, and that's a beautiful thing. ![11324902_376665999205621_949691934_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVtECTZwdvP7Tq4Zp8vwMbmGoEqZRDE69N6vYuL9KjXeJ/11324902_376665999205621_949691934_n.jpg)

So, I mentioned Tumblr earlier... why?

Should that be taken as a cautionary tale... or as a mark of success to aim for? **BOTH.**

Here's why:

The words *"innovation"*, *"disruption"*, and *"advancement"* used in my introduction are all cliches. They are cliches for a reason - each concept is easy to dream up, but inherently difficult to actually execute. *As cliche as they are... they are still things we strive for.* **Steemit has a lot similar with Tumblr:** - A tight-knit community passionate about ideas, and about freedom of information / expression. - Ability to distribute your content quickly within a pre-existing social framework. - Inherent consume-ability, making the content a pleasure to engage with. **However, Steemit has a big "one-up" on Tumblr, and that comes back to the word I mentioned again and again in this introduction:** "Monetization" So, without further ado, here's what you can expect from me on Steemit: ![11191286_454657998049608_1814768734_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZL5kH7eF3iax7mA6pXMidGkSYfkwC196axEwZZNJdjvQ/11191286_454657998049608_1814768734_n.jpg)

First

I don't expect you to follow me. I expect you to go out there into the world and figure it out. This world doesn't need anymore followers... it needs more LEADERS.

Second

You can expect the highest-quality content on everything from Internet Marketing, to Cryptocurrency, to Entrepreneurship. If you are passionate about improving your life - health, wealth, love, happiness, and all that jazz - then stick around. I'm a fanatical assimilator of knowledge on topics ranging advertising to neuroscience to quantum mechanics, as well as a dedicated bio-hacker **(Nootropics, anyone?)** **So if you resonate with the message, cool - let's get together and have a ball.**

Third

What I will ask of you today is to comment below:

"What project are you working on right now, and what is the #1 thing with respect to marketing that would help you?"

I have generated well over $10m+ in revenue, and would be happy to tackle anything you want to throw at me.

Again, thank you @milanademort for the invitation - I am excited to contribute to this beautiful ecosystem.
