Today I want to present you statistics on the most profitable categories of content for authors on Steemit.
Everyone knows that one content can be more interested in owners of a greater voice than some other content. Starting his career on Steemit, each author is looking for a niche that can depend on the author's existing skills or on the payouts that it brings to the author.
But how to understand which category of content is more profitable to publish?
This is exactly what I want to tell.
