Turn SteemDollars into USDollars

in #how7 years ago (edited)

One of the most asked questions I get about Steemit.com is "how do you cash out?".

After my friends sign up for Steemit and start creating Content that earns them value, they always ask... How do I sell this steem or my SteemDollars for btc or usd?

The process is so easy even I can do it, and here's how.

  1. sign up for Steemit.com
  2. create or curate content
  3. earn value via steem or SteemDollars
  4. sign up for a bitpay visa
  5. go to blocktrades.us
  6. set receive currency to steem or SD
  7. set send currency to btc
  8. provide bitpay btc address
  9. open bitpay/ visa and sell btc for usd
  10. spend anywhere visa is accepted

I hope this short, simple easy guide works for all those who ask. If not I also made this video to go with it... Please drop feedback in the comments below!

i doubt that cashing out btc makes sense with current fees unless you are transacting more than 5k.

Love block trades for none steem exchanges too.

Keep STACKIN that’s Steem Boss 😬

Thanks for the post of how to cash out.

Thanks for this, as a noob to steem this is very much appreciated, I just then need to convert the USD to my local currency the South African Rand

Very informative. You got yourself a new follower.
Nice work!!

If you ever need a hand HMU

I just might do that when I finally get a gigantic pile of SBD haha

Very helpful. Thank You

I'm happy to help. If you have any questions please HMU

Simple and blunt, nice vid.

Now I know the easiest way to get my money =D
Thank you mate !

Use better tags bro.

I might need marketing advice lol

Here's my approach. I sort the tags by payout. Then I go down the list starting from highest payout and I start picking appropriate tags. Avoid irrelevant tags so you don't get flagged. This approach will increase your exposure. "how" as a tag has like 3 posts in the last hour. "to" as a tag the same. "sell" as a tag has you in the last five hours. See what I'm saying? Using my approach one result would be: steem; cryptocurrency; money; crypto; education. You could be more aggressive than that but your exposure would be much bigger than your original tags for sure.

Much appreciated

Thanks for step by step very helpful.

But I was thinking ....

To me it is Crypto vs non-crypto digital 'money'
But it is also about Owned vs non-owned systems

All we the users, need is an "app" so I can pay you or the merchant.
No need for plastic cards.

And it is this that has the elite bankers scared IMHO

This is how were get our non crypto friends into steemit tho... They way $ but they will end up learning crypto. I see you but I know people and if you show them how to get cash from an ATM from posting on steemit they will end up loving crypto.

Agreed. the cash part is a big draw card.

But assuming my coffee shop takes crypto and so does my landlord as they both have an "app"
I just transfer crypto as needed.
I don't need FIAT unless I want to deal with someone still on that old system.
At least thats the way I'm seeing things ATM

Love this! Thanks so much. Very clear and to the point!
