As a creator of my own social network, I have put a lot of time into attracting users away from Facebook and elsewhere to come and explore my own creation. I understand quite well that there are lots of reasons why people don't want to leave their pushy, somewhat abusive corporate 'caretakers' (overlords) in the social networking arena - yet despite Steemit actually PAYING them to leave and come to a new community, many still resist!
Many people, it seems, just won't accept that a social network will reward them just for making posts - but it is also true I feel that many don't want to be put into what they perceive as a competitive environment and would prefer to just huddle together with friends in a private way. There's nothing wrong with that, but I do happen to know that there are lots of people on the web who jump at all kinds of chances to make money and yet who still reject Steemit for their own reasons that aren't exactly clear to me, except that I feel some fear is involved.
I'm really just making this post to let my Facebook contacts know that right now, not only can you make significant money on Steemit just for blogging and commenting, but if you make original, quality material/content you can actually get rewarded more highly than you are likely to be paid in your day job - even in a quite well paid day job!
Steem backed dollars, one of the two cryptocurrencies used at Steemit.com is currently valued at 11 times it's intended value! SBDs are intended to be pegged at $1USD, but currently are over $11USD, which means that posts on Steemit that were once worth $1USD are now worth over $11USD and when you factor in that quality posts can receive payouts of hundreds of STEEM dollars - that means that currently you could get paid $1000USD for a single popular post on Steemit - or more!
Compare that to Facebook or just about any other platform - where you get absolutely nothing and just continue to make a bunch of Billionaires even richer!! Is that really the kind of reality you want to be creating?
Steemit runs on a blockchain which means it is transparent, cannot be censored/controlled and is essentially autonomous up to a point, without a central hierarchy controlling it. Steemit also has a Youtube clone called DTube that is a similarly distributed and uncensored video platform and Dsound which is the same but for audio.
If all this isn't enough, Steem, the main currency in use on Steemit, currently supports the highest amount of transactions of any cryptocurrency, transacts in 3 seconds (vs 10+ minutes for Bitcoin) and has ZERO transfer fees!
What?
So Steem is simultaneously the technically most proficient cryptocurrency, supports the most uncensored social network and video/audio hosting platform AND pays you more than your day job probably does just for doing exactly what YOU want to do and for providing value to the community...
And you aren't here... because?
;)
Wishing you well,
