This Week in the Sndbox


Welcome to the 9th State of the Sndbox newsletter! So far this week, we’ve published the first iteration of our “What NOT to do on Steemit” post. We intend to continuously gather concise but significant tips on the nuanced ins and outs of the platform and technology that don’t warrant a full-length post each on their own but can be collected into an informative list.

We’ve also posted our 2nd updated Master Toolkit with all the resources you would need to learn more about Steemit and Sndbox.

For a more thorough breakdown of what our members have been up to, be sure to go through our weekly Upvotes of the Week post that we publish each Monday.

A Creative Revolution


Yesterday we had the opportunity to start pursuing a series of posts that clearly define the social, cultural, and disciplinary goals of Sndbox in today’s world. To start, we introduce the major hurdles of freelance careers and how blockchain technology can revolutionize creative practice.

As we scale Sndbox and bring in more exciting members from around the world, we’ll be developing and supporting projects that use Steemit in the most impactful ways. We hope to really shake up some stagnant industries and use decentralized methods and shared content production as a new strategy in professional practice.
