Imagine you are going on about your normal daily lives like posting a picture of what you ate for lunch on Instagram and bragging about where you're flying to for your next vacation to your Facebook friends. Now imagine, instead of wasting your time and padding your ego, you get paid for those actions. That’s exactly what Steemit, Inc., is doing with Steemit.com.
To put it bluntly from Steemit, Inc.,' own words: “Steemit has redefined social media by building a living, breathing, and growing social economy – a community where users are rewarded for sharing their voice. It’s a new kind of attention economy.”

Great post, I'm sure there are many new steemians, as well as potential new recruits that may come across steemit thanks to you writing this on your website, who could take some advice from you (or just learn some the basics thanks to the simple way you presented it).
To your comment that a new user will need to either invest in STEEM or have a friend with a lot of SP, it is worth pointing out that community projects such as @steemSTEM, @ocd @curie, etc, do great work at rewarding quality content. However, we certainly need many more such groups, covering different topics, if we want to achieve a better correlation between quality and effort on one side and rewards and visibility on the other.
And finally, thanks for mentioning SteemPress! I hope we can continue to provide creators like yourself with a useful product while lowering some the of the barriers you rightly mention for other bloggers to come onboard as well.
Thank you! If only more established bloggerss know about your plugin. I'm sure most of them are turned off from Steemit because they believe it will take more work - which really isn't the case with Steempress!
I started here exactly 1 year and I invest only 1k dollar that time. After a year my account has made over 20k dollar as of today(take note that I didnt cash out any from the day 1).
The question if you can make money here? The answer is big YES! However, it takes a lot of hard work. If you are just starting thi gs our in Crypto and no initial investment I would suggest to start in @dlive start making you videos. Steem is not just an easy money grab. It takes full dedication and love to the things here.
Beautiful .. well done
This is for those who want to know what a real travel pleasure is
Thank you for sharing with us your adventure..
Steemit really redefined the platform of social media and blogging. We engaged in social media for a long time without any income generating benefit (at least most of us) until steemit came unto our attention and here we are now, we are earning while enjoying interacting with our fellow steemians and mind you, there are hundreds if not thousand that join the steemit wagon plus the numerous meetups all over the globe.
I hope and wish for its continued growth :)
What development, if I may ask?
This is a very awesome guide :) Keep adding value to the platform
This was really well written.
I've been using Steemit for about two months now. I started off using voting bots (and am glad I did) but have reverted to just growing organically.
I think Steemit is a wonderful platform and it has definitely benefited me. While it has it's flaws, it is providing sustainable income options for MANY people. While I can't currently live off my Steemit income, it is growing. One day I might be able to support myself from Steemit alone!
Vote bots are useful on the occasional use to get some exposure you wouldn't get otherwise. I wish that weren't the case...
thanks for the information brother
It's an amazing the post we have a lot to learn about steemit, I am new here so I need time to grow up in the platform, If can any give me a hand I gladly accept.
Keep at it, you got my upvote whatever it's worth :)
May be the best post I have read about Steemit.
Why not
or are developers already working on this? How they want to stop abuse of the reward pool?
hey @adonisabril, this was actually a really, really informative post, thank you! And congrats for making it that far in such a short time! I have a daily wordpress blog by myself with a couple thousand followers and you've mentioned Steempress a few times. Are there no google issues with "duplicate content" so that google downgrades the SEO rating of your blog? As it seems that Steempress copies the content from your site?
thanks again!
Sam
No, not that I know of. Google doesn't really care about duplicate content as long as it knows which one is the original source :)
yep, i just checked in with the creators of the plugin. All good! thanks man! Google also checks the source of where the content had been published first... So all good if your post appears first on your blog.
have a good week!
Sam
No, not that I know of. Google doesn't really care about duplicate content as long as it knows which one is the original source :)
Mira lo que estan esos pesos Argentinos!!!
Se nos estan desvalorizandoo!! lpm ja
Hi @adonisabril Thank you so much for sharing such an informative post about this platform. I'm new to steemit, only a few days old, so it's great to have such a detailed post explaining it all properly and putting it in more simple terms for a newbie like me.
It will take a week or two to get the hang of the platform :)
Excellent article! I've been here since January of this year and still figuring out. I've tried getting friends on Steemit but they get discouraged fast just like you said above. Thanks for the article!
There's much to learn when you join the platform but it's easy once you get the hang of it.
Slowly but surely I'm getting there with help with these great articles! Thank you! :)
Thank you for the pros and contras! I'm new here and it really helped me
It helped me aswell
Good luck on Steemit!
Well done... I have been on this platform a little longer than you have... I haven't made 6k but I started without an initial investment and am still learning how to create good original content. I wish you the best in your future with steemit.
Thanks and good luck to you too!
Less than that.
To be in the top 1% of all Steemit accounts (as measured by owned Steem Power) requires only 478 Steem Power as of today. That number is slowly dropping. About a month ago, it was just over 500.
In that case, I belong to the Top 1% - that is a sad state of affairs.
This is my first venture into steemit after updating my profile. Thanks for sharing your experience. Good to learn from the footsteps of others. From the post I get the sense that steemit replicates some of the economic hieirarchy that is so prevalent in the dominant culture, but I still look forward to participating in this experiment free of advertisers and harvesters of personal information.

You got it, it's got quirks and it's like being in the playground when you were in Kindergarten sometimes!
Great review. Thanks for the information @adonisabril. I recently returned to Steemit and have observed much of the same.
There are some developments that I hope will address the issues.
Very thorough and lucid explanation. Thanks @adonisabril. I've been on Steemit for less than 2 months and I find all you have said to be true. I'm self employed and am an author, so I have those advantages over people who are at work all day, and who, perhaps, are not blessed with great writing skills. Meaning, while I love Steemit, I have to say it's not for everyone.
It's not for everyone but it's a great start towards an incentivized social media platform :)
“Steemit has redefined social media by building a living, breathing, and growing social economy – a community where users are rewarded for sharing their voice. It’s a new kind of attention economy.”
This is the best thing I have seen this year!!!
"4 - There are corruption and issues but there's also development ongoing to mitigate these issues."
You can see it being dealt with daily and there is a lot more to come...The Steemit team is on the ball!
Brilliant review man!
There are obvious potential once the quirks and flaws are worked out.
¡Hola!!! muchas gracias por tu publicación, apenas acabo de ingresar y me siento totalmente perdida, tu amplia pero sencilla explicación me aclara un poco el panorama y me impulsa a seguir avanzando, éxitos, saludos.
De nada. Será más fácil con el tiempo. ¡Buena suerte!
Hey @adonisabril! Thank your for sharing your knoweldge and story with us, honestly . As you point it out, for new users, as me for example, it is really important to get upvotes from the "big whales" . However I think ,and this is my story to share, we cannot focus just on this. We are here to help each other, to build a community, and it is only happen with good quailty content. If some big dogs from the hood got stronger voice than the others, just because they are bigger, we will never hear that little puppy ,who is waiting at front of the door. Even if he or she is the cutest of all. Our voice is our coolness. Our coolness is quailty content. So thank you for sharing with me, and the other members of this family , your coolness. At the end, I would like to ask, what do yoo think, what would happen with the community if everybody got equal vote power ( foundamential point in the cryptocurrencies) ??
Equal vote would be nice...but that wouldn't attract investors into to the platform. It's a catch-22.
yes, true story x either way, thank you again for the sharing
Just made my way to Steemit yesterday. This is very helpful for me! Thank you for taking the time write such an in-depth review and i look forward to trying to make this platform work. There are many of us Youtubers that are sick of the way Youtube is handling the creator relations and i am excited to share Steemit with fellow creators. I know i am not the only Youtuber that is fed up with it but i believe we need to help spread the word about Steemit. Thanks again!
Very nice, detailed post for new comers. I do agree with most of your ideas about Steemit. I think that making money via Steem is possible, but only if you spend enough effort in writing decent content and invest your time and your money also.
Personally I see Steemit as a way to play out my skill of writing (I'm not good at writing at all), also a way to show to the world my vie ( I love sharing my experience to others).
I also invest in Steem, as a way for a long-term investment, not just a short-term play. I hope that my journey and yours will become greater and more successful than ever in Steem!
Hi. I joined Steemit on January 25 of this year. A friend told me about this social network. I subscribed although I did not have much information. But for years I have published things on my facebook, twitter and Instagran account, and what I have been able to obtain is a simple "I like it". But since I started at Steemit I have learned that my opinion or publications can have a value; especially a monetary value. During this time my gains have not been many; I'm still looking for success, but my rewards have helped me meet some needs as a single mother. Also, here in Venezuela, my native country, the economic situation is very bad (it is not a secret for the world), so any profit is of help. When I was able to make my first SBD change for Bolivares, I could not believe it. At last the things that inspire me began to matter.
Excellent post. Great to see you back and posting on Steemit. There are issues here for sure. But at the end of the day its the only platform that rewards you to post.
Exactly!
This is a super super helpful, awesome post! I just made my first post today of a short film I made and I was definitely wondering about the dynamics of the platform and how it all works. So thanks man!
You're welcome :)
Thank you for the informative article. My account just got approved today after more than 2 weeks of waiting. This ready is so timely for me and all the other new steemians who are still a bit uncertain about how to make this platform work for them
Join some discord groups and start networking there :)
What a find, I'm new so I will be doing a introduce my self. I have never been a blogger but this platform I am more interested in the way the community controls the content and our content get rewarded directly. This platform is going to be big. I really want to go traveling after reading this as well. Hopefully if crypto gives me freedom to travel and not work 6 days a week I can see some of the world. Keep smiling man
i will travel till my last breath
Wow, that was one hell of an information! Thanks,im thrilled to be On this platform
I'm still a newbie here and this post has given great insight to how steemit goes. Though I still have questions, I hope to interact and benefit from this platform. Any more help will be greatly appreciated.
hi there!
#1- congrats for your first 6 month of travel. also it is kind of hard for the beginners into this platform named steemit, also there are 3 factors to success in steemit.
a) quality of yours posts
b) invest some money
c) luck, good luck.
i think these 3 facts are important to do it great.
well, that is my opinion.
good luck!!!!
have a wonderful day!!!

nice
Very professional from you.
Such "posts" are never enough.
This looks like a script for students and a dictionary that everyone can understand ...
which is in this crypto space of great importance ... that people can get a picture of what they are doing, on the block chains ( in the head ).
Informative article 👍
