Smart Media Tokens are the future of the Steem blockchain. They will allow everyone to create their own cryptocurrency that works like Steem and runs on the Steem blockchain. But they will have their own ecosystem and have their own price. In this post I present a few that you can earn already today without any money investement.
@Actifit
Actifit is a new mobile app for Android (iOS coming) that pays you for your activity - your walking activity to be precise. The app counts your daily steps and let's you post them directly to the Steem blockchain. You are getting rewarded once a day for your activity via the Actifit upvote. You are also earning the upcoming Smart Media Token form the project in form of an ERC20 token until SMT's are released.
To earn the tokens you can participate by posting your daily activity via the app to the Steem blockchain. They have a level system that rewards you based on the daily steps you did. Additionally, you can upvote and resteem 
@Steemhunt
Steemhunt is a product hunting website that let's you post short product overviews for cool gadgets, tools and software. If you are the first to discover and share them then you can get upvoted by the community with a sophisticated voting mechanism. Each day the best hunts will be upvoted by the 
They also release a Smart Media Token and you can already start earning it. When you upvote and resteem posts via the Steemhunt website you will get a diversity score that is being calculated by how you spread your upvotes, how large they are and by your Steem reputation. the more regular you do that the higher that score grows. You can also delegate Steem Power for a weekly payout (you don't get the tokens yet but you have a pseudo-wallet showing you your hunt tokens earned already.
@Appics
Appics is a mobile app that clones Instagram for the Steem blockchain. They have a sleak design and an integrated shop for each user. They support images and videos as well as live-streaming for selected users. They were the first team to announce a Smart Media Token project and they have already concluded their successful ICO in which they collected over 4 million USD.
To earn the Appics token you can join their bounty system. It rewards you for spreading the word about Appics on all sorts of social media platforms. You can manually hand-in your links to the posts you created. Twitter, Facebook and Steemit are even fully automized and you earn shares which will at some point be converted to tokens. The amount of Appics tokens you will receive depends on the total of bounty hunters and who will have to share the dedicated pool of tokens.
There are many more SMT's announced and we expect the majority of the large Steem platforms like DTube to release their own tokens as well. To get a head-start with them as well you can just be active on those platforms and keep an eye on their announcements. DTube has already teased that early adopters of the platform will be rewarded with their token somehow.
It is exciting to already collect the first tokens. We don't know what their value will be but the fact that you can earn some of them entirely for free is fascinating and has created quite a bit of interest in the forementioned projects. What do YOU think about hunting SMT's? Do you think it will be worthwhile eventually? Or do you think this is rather a waste of time and energy?
