Steemit is a blogging and social networking platform which makes you earn from creating unique and educative content or contributing your ideas and knowledge on a subject study. This platform is one of a kind, was founded March 2016 and has grown to harbor over 500,000 users worldwide and would grow into over 3million users in 5years according to my personal statistics.
As a user on steemit, it is important to realize the chief objective for the creation of this platform, which is earning from your creativity, steemit has made it possible for anyone to earn money from their knowledge and experience escaping the hassle of doing tedious or criminally inclined profession, so let us maximize the good potential of this platform in joining hands to eradicate poverty around communities and cities till we touch the whole world.
I would outline some few ideas and means we can achieve this together and the actualization of this goal can be accomplished in 5years if we all work together with a common zeal.
Giving to the less privileged: There are orphanage homes around your community or city, make use of the steemit platform to touch lives around, help the less privileged who don't have the ability to access the steemit platform, raise donations, feed them, clothe them and give them hope. This can be achieved while you earn from steemit, while doing any of these things, create awareness for steemit by using it's identity while on this quest, take pictures and upload on steemit write on how you were able to help the less privileged, write on how you still intend to use the platform to keep helping people around you, use the tag #promo-steem while making such post, this would help reach potential steemians who are also interested with creating awareness for steemit and could give you their upvote to help realize your next charity project.
Promote Steemit: Introduce friends to Steemit. When young people have Steemit, they have a means of income. More income means there would be less crime. Earning from Steemit only requires your creativity. You don't need to be an awesome writer or crazy researcher; all you need is your mind. There are lots of things you experience and see on a daily basis around you. These things can be spoken about, and you could earn from it. Don't keep this platform away from a friend or group of people just because you don't see their ability to create content. Create an online group or social meetings, and teach those people about Steemit. When in such meetings, always use materials with the Steemit logo prominently displayed. When letting Steemians know about these meetings you organized, and the people you introduced to the platform, you'll be needing to post pictures from the meeting. It will be important that the Steemit identity is included in those pictures. Also, use the #promo-steem tag when you publish your post, so you can get an upvote for promoting Steemit. To earn more, and continue the promotion activity, don't fail to introduce new people to the Steemit system. Everyone deserves a platform like this.
Big whales upvote minnows: We have those we refer to as the big whales on the steemit platform, these are those who has gained a good level of steem power and has a high rate of upvote and minnows are the new comers with very low steem power. I would like to urge the big whales to work on scouting for good content made by minnows, and upvote at least one of these post every day, this would stand as an encouragement for them to keep up the quality content, to remain on the platform and would also give them the mindset of helping others. The act would also encourage them to upvote other minnows when they become a big whale. By doing this we are all helping each other earn which is a good start to tackling poverty around the globe
If you also have ideas or contributions on how this can be achieved, use to comment box. Let's all work together as steemians to make the world a better place.
