Hi fellow Steemers!
My name is Kevin Pham and I'm a writer, cryptocurrency enthusiast/investor, rideshare driver, and a former tech banker (I provided debt to venture backed startups).
I recently quit my job to drive for Uber & Lyft so I could have the flexibility to travel, write, and pursue opportunistic opportunities like cryptocurrency investing (I'm an early investor in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Urbit, Lisk, and now Steem!).
I started a blog called Rideshare Sabbatical on Wordpress to document my journey. I've been getting thousands of readers and been thinking about how to monetize. I though about selling ad space with Google Ad Words. But I've always believed that the best way to monetize is if the readers pay the creators directly and that ads are inefficient as most of the value is accrued by the platform provider.
Now that I've found Steemit, I can get paid solely based on the quality of my content! That's why I've made the decision to switch exclusively to Steemit....and plan to bring along my thousands of followers in the process! I think we're at the beginning of a massive viral feedback loop, that's going to disrupt the tech industry big time! Imagine what'll happen once all the top content creators and publishers come over as well!
Here are links to my blog and twitter account, if you want to learn more about me:
Same here Kevin. I leave medium for Steemit. No regret.
Website owners should be able to connect directly from their website to steemit via an API call so that content postet on other sites could also make use of steem power.
Now, that would change everything in a big way.
I too have left wordpress for Steemit! Best of luck to you!
А есть русские?)

Thanks for posting, we're the future

Totally with you on this one.
Yes I agree with you.
Welcome. The steemit platform is indeed quite interesting.
good choice dude
This is a joke. A post created and upvoted by the large holders of SteemPower to help pump the ponzi. Disgusting.
Can you explain a little more? I naively thought it was a genuine introduction post of a new user.
To be honest it could be a genuine post, I don't know. It's just annoying me that the posts that are going to the top are mostly hype about Steem coupled with the fact that those who already have lots of SteemPower bestow more Steem than a regular user when they upvote. Rich getting richer and no accountability. I also don't trust this place due to all sorts of shady shit like plagiarism.
I don't think its necessarily a conspiracy to [ump a ponzi but it is 'the rich helping the rich get richer while hte poor look on in bemused ignorance waiting for table scraps.' The underlying philosophy of Steemit was advertised differently to what is here. This is classic circle jerk.
How I got rich doing nothing but selling the idea of how I got rich to the ignorant masses who will never be rich because they thought they could buy the secret of how to get rich. I can give you all a hint, moral flexibility and ethical ambiguity.
Hi Kevin, I do what ito time worked in a taxi n I had no idea about what can be so creative to make money, as you do! Good luck!
If you already have a big following on your blog, until there is a public api available you might take a look at the quick plugin I wrote to let people easily mix their steemit.com posts into their wordpress blog, archives, and search functionality. See https://steemit.com/wordpress/@tony.jennings/show-your-steemit-posts-on-your-wordpress-site for an explanation of what it can do.
i have to say that i have never found any page like this.
I mean there was many similiar,but there really isn't better site for earning money on your content,than steemit.
There is youtube of course,but what if you are making an articles? Then steemit is the best!
I think so too!
few day ago i also closed my wordpress & blogger blog.
Great job. Welcome to the new train.
Sounds great
empower the needy communities for sure
Welcome fellow steemian!
wordpress and medium are now useless for creatives...maybe for the following but if you post there about it you'll get it here anyway. Welcome! I'm a writer too
Oh I so agree with this!! As a writer I'm considering leaving wordpress too :)
Yes I agree with you.
I like what youre doing here, honestly, i've been doing the same for a while now, but I haven't put it quite the same way as you have . Still, all props and good luck!
However wordpress is the best!
cheers
However wordpress is the best! but steemit very interesting.
By leaving wordpress do you mean that you're going to quit updating your website? Or does your website integrate with this site somehow? I don't understand how this site works yet.
отличный парень так держать!
Well done I'm new here, and i would like to do smt like you
Good to have you here!
I invite you to support one of my projects:

Welcome, I'm also a new member here, and still learning about it. But your story inspires me, and since I always wanted to have a blog, this might be it :)

this looks like a great place to be. welcome. I might leave everything to post my thoughts here.
The traction Steem is getting in such a short period of time is mind boggling. Wordpress has been around for years, Steem for weeks, and the rotation has already begun. This is going to be epic!
