Steemit has changed my life. Hands down, no questions asked.
Having a platform to post my content with direct monetization has motivated me to create and curate SOOO much more content than IN otherwise would have. I went from writing a few times a week to going around telling people that “I’m a blogger” when asked what I do. This has been wonderful in so many ways, yet like everything, Steemit has it’s dark side.
The Good
I can get paid to write words! Sure this has been possible… forever … but with Steemit I found a platform where I could easily a reliably make money for creating content. No more trying to drive traffic to a website, convincing other blogs to pay me for my articles, using shady ways to convert “free” content into sales. I had a platform to express myself and I was making money doing so.
It’s a wonderful community. Steemit has gathered people from all around the world who are intelligent, interesting and ambitious. That’s my crowd. I’ve enjoyed meeting and interacting with many of you and am excited to meet even more.
The sky's the limit. When I first started reading STeemit I @chbartist making $500+ per post! I was stoked! I looked at his history, saw he was only a few hundred posts deep and thought to myself … “I can do that … I will do that”. And here I am. While I don’t categorize myself as being on that level yet you can be damn sure that I will be … and soon.
The Bad
A lot of people are using Steemit just for profit. While there is nothing inherently wrong with this I think that it’s always nice to have a bit of balance. If you are going to upvote all of your content … you might as well make it look nice.
It seems like it’s become (or has been) pay to play. Unless you have a huge following, it takes bid bots to get onto the trending page. Sure there is a lot of good content out there but there is also a lot of fluff. I wish that there could be a separation between promoted content and organic. Now that would be nice!.
The Ugly
I wake up and think about Steemit. I’ve focused the majority of my work time over the past month creating, curating and promoting content on this platform. Sure it’s great but you’ve got to draw a line somewhere. I think I am relatively good about maintaining balance in my life but I am sure there are some people out there hitting upvote like it’s a goddamn line of blow. Remember folks, life comes first, then Steemit.

Well written. I agree 100 % with your post. I enjoy the platform because it keeps me busy for 1 hr each evening and I love reading various posts, checking out different places in the photography section, learning about crypto currency etc. Of course I love seeing an upvote on my post and the money is a bonus, but honestly, I get my daily pick me up from the steemit platform.
Steemit allows us to much more clearly observe the value of the content that we bring to people. This is a great characteristic of Steemit, and one that really motivates me!
What are your thoughts?

If steemit where to grow exponentially to the masses imagine how fortunate we would be in the long run financially and mentally. keep up the good work. And i'll definetley follow you. peace.
I totally see steemit and similar platforms being the future of social media. It makes sense for the users to benefit as we are the ones creating the value. The days of the facebook giant are coming to an end!

I am Judge in court of Indonesia, I choose steemit for fun only. Life in real life is first like you say. Beside that, I want to share what i find daily maybe some photography or article. Thanks for sharing with great article. God Bless you
Here promises a reward. So, reasonable when the bloggers are very encouraged to get maximum results. That's the main reason people play in steemit.
I really like the steemit platform. I feel your pain about driving traffic, but I still don't understand how someone that uploads a picture with no content can make $100's of dollars while other people with amazing work and craft only get $0.03?
see #voting bots
Living off of steemit is legit the DREAM !
Like you sit at home.
Write a really nice post do some research for like 2-4 hours.
get paid like 100$ for a post everyday or every 2-3 days
and life is ez and fun and the dream is real
i tell you friend i never before to steemit social media website to change my life hats off steemit i wish to run this always
I have been on steemit for over a year now, and have amassed a staggering $30.00 so far! LOL, I know that is nothing, but the platform is teaching me to write well, inspiring me to take better photographs and I am reading so much interesting content!
The positives completely outweigh the negatives, so if you come across a post that is "fluff" - just ignore it
Great article, I have followed, upvoted and resteemed :)
it seems like even if you have good content, you need to use a Bot to get it noticed. Especially, if you are a newbie
Thanks for sharing.
I'm new on steemit no doubt, but my principal aim here on steemit is that I have found a platform to express myself, my thoughts and have people actual go through them, to me it is a dream come true.
