How Do You Use Steemit?
Happy Thursday Everyone its another day in the world of Steemit.com where many people from all over the world get an opportunity to earn a Cryptocurrency called Steem and for some the first time dealing with any Cryptocurrency at all. The platform is the first of its kind with benefits that can change lives financially and personally. But to truly thrive in this community is to make sure do what you can to make it better through learning the platform and helping others learn and inviting others to join to strengthen it.
Money earned on by interacting with Steemit.com that means posting, commenting, upvoting, sharing it with others in the community unlike other platforms your time is equally valued. Now value is key in this world so originality, entertainment, creativity, information, and authority. This is what you want Steemit and its sister platform Dtube to be known for and users like @liverehab, @dobartim, @reseller and @jerrybanfield are the people that are doing just that. These influencers bring their own skill an expertise to the platform and make it better all you have to do is do the same.
You might say "But @bandag I don't know anything about anything I |-insert excuse here-|" if you are reading this then you can get information that can be useful to community share it with us not copy and paste but explain it the way only you can on video or blog post because someone else might have brought that information to the community but you are unique and also from culture and someone from that culture can understand or someone who just likes your opinion better. That is what defines a personal brand because there is only one you. They are some ways to master this skill I encourage to read this by Gary Vaynerchuk called Crush It this is a great source to give you the mindset and learn how to take the opportunity to leverage the internet to get what you want which is all about giving yourself your true self so no pretending trust me its much easier if be yourself you'll live longer.
This where you can grow the community because that information can come up in from a Google search getting someone here on Steemit.com for the very first time and encourage them to join return for more content and maybe you. This is a social network after all as it empowers you with it you can connect with people and form deep relationships as the platform grows and as it grows you too can grow if you choose to take that challenge. With growth this world can be small place but in a good way with Steem friends all over the world AirBnB might meaningless to you with the financial freedom to travel the world you can see it and see the friends you have made on road trips or world hopping and spend a few days with them, all on a Steem invite.
This where Steemit truly shines we can disrupt the disrupters Uber, Facebook, Quora, Airbnb, even airlines Like JetBlue and make transactions right here on Steem for goods and services without having to cash out and the more us doing that the more value it has this not just an online community it is both online and offline and the more we blur those lines the more we change world. Blockchain technology is not a fad it is not going away let us be the community that shows the world how it is done. This is a technology that can open minds, eyes, and hearts. This is the future I see when blockchain technology replaces the currencies we give value to.
That future can't be here if we keep cashing out Steem to use those outdated centralized currencies only pay our bills if we are to have that future we should be gradually adding our own infrastructure out in the world where we can trade our goods and services we can start by networking with people in our own communities within our own countries and organizing with other communities all over the world this gives an opportunity to empower anyone with innate skills of leadership, organization, engineering, and creativity.
They are also members of the community that are doing just that like @dobartim, @tatjanastan, @flysky, @aidasfg7 in #steemschools with a community that teaches and brings awareness to the world they are now having a 100 Days Steem Schools Ultimate Challenge check it out here
This what I think I would love to hear your opinions please comment below so we can start a discussion.
Until next time Steemers...
Stay Loose.
Nice work @bandag! Really appreciate you taking the time to mention my work. Interesting thought about disrupting things like quora - how would you approach it without just simply copying their app?
By just copying their app. Just kidding we can add a platform that offers Steem rewards for anyone who gives the right solutions to questions and also reward the one who asked the question to follow up that his problem was solved all who contributed before the problem is solved get a little Steem but the the one the best solution gets Steem dollars.
Oh and say hi to @bazooka for me his course was the first course I took about learning how Steemit works.
Congratulations @bandag! You received a personal award!
