Steemit is an opportunity, and if you approach it like that, you are already more likely to do well on this platform.
Because of the decentralized nature of the steem blockchain, Steemit is not like your typical company, there are no set advertising campaigns, instead it is being built by word of mouth. And it is working!
Steemit is ranked in the top 1800 websites worldwide, and climbing!
Ok, now that we understand that, lets focus on the Steemit itself. Steemit was set up on the Steem blockchain by the creators of the Steem blockchain, Ned, Scott and Dan Larimer as a social media interface build on top of their creation, as a way to showcase the Steem blockchains abilities and functions, and how it is different and better than bitcoin for some aspects of use for businesses(1.5 sec block times and free on-chain transactions).
This is where the opportunity is! We have this amazing platform to use and build on. To some building is a tech term, but it is also a, pull up your sleeves and break a sweat, term.
What do I mean?
I mean you may not find a lot of similar interests on here, or people who think the same as you, and followers are not easy to get. This means that the beginning is when you will have to do the most work with the least reward. That is okay, because we are building!
If you feel like Steemit is missing something, build it! Create a blog about whatever it is and be the first to start building in that topic. Or build upon other interests or ideas.
Every post, every different point-of-view more completely expressed, and every person who uses Steemit, is helping to build a better and more complete Steemit!
When you write about what you are passionate about, people can feel that and it comes thru the screen. You will gain more followers, fans and friends because you are talking about something with a powerful and positive energy.
Instead of focusing on how quickly you gain followers or rewards, focus on creating passionate content and passionately interacting with people you find interesting and you will soon find out you are building your path to Steemit success!
Peace, Love and Steemit!
