As many of you already know, Steemit is more than just a social media platform. It has many uses. Blogging, networking, business, to name a few.
Usage of technology stems from a few basic interests such as removing a stressor / solving a problem, or gaining a reward / benefit.
To this end, I believe that Steemit is a fantastic platform that shows individuals that their voice has value. While this is at the core of steemit, I hope to show a few added values that Steemit as a platform has to offer.
Steemit for Bloggers
Bloggers Choice
Topic of Choice is left up to the author. The content topics have greater freedom of speech as you do not only have to target keywords that pay, or topics that are popular with the demographic that you're targeting. Some topics may take nurturing to grow your following.
A Budget helps bloggers decide if they will be the paid author on staff or if they'll send their earnings in for marketing endeavors. Shoutouts and Social Media Outreach are just a few ways you can gain a larger audience through the power of starting out with a budget.
Steemit for Business
Hello, Moon?
- Search Engine Optimization is increased when you outsource your blogging. That is why many people use websites like Medium, Reddit and other community based platforms. The difference between Steemit and other platforms is that if your authors are good, you'll likely gain their services for a reduced fee, and sometimes gain a profit.
- Great for Projects, Steemit can help any project gain momentum. By creating a steemit account for an individual project you can find the people who are most interested in that aspect of your business and promote to them. Try adding a Gain Game, which we'll discuss in the next section.
Steemit for Social
Tell Your Followers
Cross-Platform Promotions increase your community on Steemit. Increase your following with followers from other platforms you're active on. Surrounding yourself in a large and active community is the best way to be successful on Steemit!
Social Media Games gain new followers by reaching out to them in fun and interesting ways. On instagram there are many creative ways to gain new followers and have fun doing it. Users would create games inside their posts for their followers to interact with. I believe these games, while currently uninvented, would be a great addition to your gaining strategies.
