For those of you who are new to Steemit and for those that have not taken the time to learn more about it you should. The best time to get on board is right now. The reasons why are actually quite simple.
There has been real turmoil going on inside the world of all the mainstream web giants. To sum it up quickly, there have been hearings, unhappy creators, questions about fairness and even violence. The reason for all of this is easy to see. The giant's have become too greedy and the hard working original content creators have had enough.
To put it bluntly, the giants have forgotten where they started and how they became big in the first place. The life and blood of all web based organizations are the content creators. They are the ones that put in countless hours of hard work. They are the ones with incentive, entrepreneurial spirit and most importantly the source of everything that matters.
These creators have been burned too many times yet they refuse to give up. They will continue to generate great content and they will find the places that value what they are truly worth. This is where Steemit comes into play.
Steemit is offering unlimited earning potential to those that put in the hard work. This incentive will only make Steemit get bigger and bigger. For those that are grandfathered in early the upside is huge.
Think of some of the giants I spoke of earlier. Imagine if you had gotten on board before they became giants. You would have been richly rewarded.
Another point of interest is that Steemit uses digital currency. The best way to look at this is as an investor. Imagine if you had purchased stock in one of the web giants when they were little.
As an example, imagine that you own $300 worth of a stock that's selling for around $3.00 a share. You would own 100 shares. Now imagine that the price gradually makes its way to $1000 a share. You would be sitting on $100,000. Granted this is an extreme case but it is based on a real life stock that very much reminds me of Steemit.
Last, think about what you have to lose by getting onboard. You don't have to put in any of your own cash out of pocket. You can earn by generating content. The worst case scenario is that you get a following and traffic to your website. You really have nothing to lose.
The question you should ask yourself is not wether or not you can afford to start generating content on Steemit. The question should be... can you afford not to?
