RE: 5 Things Every Steemit User Should Be Doing

in #steemit7 years ago

Thank you for your post. It is interesting to see your 5 things you think everybody should be doing. I only doubt about your idea to post it on facebook, twitter, etc. Do you think steemit is ready to go mainstream (or should it be called mainsteem?) or it should be smaller and grow internally, fix the initial issues it encounters and then go mainstream, maybe becoming a next facebookish platform? I'm curious about your thoughts about that.
Happy new year!

Hey @markpu, great points. I personally feel that a lot of people could benefit from using Steemit as their go-to social platform... especially those who have struggled with building a following (or earning ad revenue) on other sites. Does it need to go mainstream? No, not really. I don't think that is necessary for the success of Steemit. But for those of us who have a following on other social sites and want to "share the love" with those people, then yeah I think it's appropriate to share with them.

Great question and thanks for your thoughts. I hope you and your family have a very Happy New Years! :)

I have to agree with you. On steemit you can get followers by making good quality posts, people don’t have to know you. I ‘met’ some people here that I directly liked because we shared a same passion and felt like they are nice people that I wanted to be connected with although I never met them in person. In e.g. facebook you have to know people in real life to build a network.
I’ll discuss steemit with some friends the upcoming days and see what they think about it. We usually use whatapp to share ideas and stories with each other and I’m curious what they think about using another platform (that even pays them to read and like stories).
Maybe it’s because I’m still a beginner and don’t know how to use steemit properly but my feed can be flooded sometimes with posts. If I would be following more people, how can I read posts by the people I really like? Maybe steemit has a solution for it, but I haven’t found it yet.
