Creating The World We Long For!

1600 - Steem's popularity is skyrocketing! Join now and profit! Seriously! And for everyone else already on Steem, let's boost this growing popularity even more.

This post is about how to create the world we long for and how Steem and other cryptocurrencies can play a big part in this, why we should all try to boost Steem's growth with each of our posts as well as ways to incentivize such sharing so it becomes part of Steemians' second nature.

Most people who could benefit from using Steem haven't heard about it yet and it's a no-brainer for everyone to work toward a better world helping remediate to this.

Steem Pays Its Users!

Steem is a revolutionary social network which pays its users for the votes, posts and comments they make depending on the votes they received. Not all votes are equal.

I've made a lot of money Steeming in the last year, more than a hundred thousand dollars, but there's possibly very few people who can still expect to make many thousands solely blogging nowadays.

Steem is the name of the technology and data base on which Steemit runs. Steemit is only one of the the many projects using this data base. Busy.org is another example, displaying the same information but differently.

Steem is also the name of the currency users are being paid with. Each Steem are currently worth around 1,40$ and can easily be exchange for money. Steem is currently distributing around 63,000 Steem daily.

No credit card is required ever. The only thing needed to register is a valid email account.

Steem details of its functionings can be found here.

The Opportunity Of A Lifetime!

We're still very early and the opportunity to make interesting profits are very real. Steem currently has a bit more than 263,000 accounts.

It's somewhat getting increasingly harder to succeed but any success is also increasingly more rewarding as we go.

Any posts or comments can pay their authors from mere pennies to hundreds of dollars and even though the trending page is filled with posts making hundreds of dollars, no new authors should expect their posts to make this much money even though it remains a possibility.

Most trending posts are from established authors holding a lot of Steem and thus having a lot to lose or gain from the Steem price performance. Also, people holding a lot of Steem are leveraging them to receive more votes and thus bigger rewards.

Posting anything will get their authors some rewards, from not quite a penny to much larger rewards as mention above. Posts can be a simple link or image or more extensive post.

New authors should probably stick to short posts requiring small amount of work and which are fun and witty, that is unless they know how to make their posts being paid well or if they are writing those posts with a precise objective which suits them.

Steem Popularity Is Skyrocketing!

Steem is the most fun social network and its meteoric growth is a testament to that.

Steem steemed from concept to reality in early 2016, to become the 3,673 most visiting website today and is still going up the rank at a frantic pace.

Cryptocurrencies are changing the way money is created, distributed and transacted and now Steem also change the way information is disseminated. Money "rule" the world and money creation rules money but that's a topic for another post.

Every 3 seconds new Steem are created and distributed by a network of computers which no single entity control.

If steemit.com were to close every Steemians would still have control of their funds and they could still access their exact same blog through other site like busy.org or app like eSteem.

Hundreds Are Joining Everyday!

Hundreds of people are already joining Steem everyday, sometimes thousands and in a few months it could be tens of thousands.

I know a lot of us wished we were making and publishing video when Youtube got launched back in early 2005. There wasn't a lot of competition back then and this would have been a good opportunity to build a valuable and fun business.

The same can be said about Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. People with a lot of followers on these websites are receiving advertising offers and some of them are getting well paid to post simple advertising links.

Steem present even bigger opportunities than these websites and is still in its very early days.

Joining emerging social networks very early can be very rewarding and Steem is no exception.

Our Thoughts And Actions' Purpose

The very purpose of our thoughts and actions should be to create the world we long for and for this to happen, it's necessary to have our ideas shared by a growing number of people, therein lies the need to share our Steem posts far and wide as much as possible.

Steem and all its users will gain immensely from accelerating Steem's growth. Steem content will get much more diversify, plenty and authors will feed on each others influence of ever more enlightening reflections.

The real value in each of our lives lie in the joy our actions and knowledge bring us rather than in any sorts of pseudo valuable we own, like national currencies.

Cooperation amplify our joy while its opposite, abuse, leads to mutual destruction. Let's work toward greater cooperation and curtailing abuse whenever possible.

Our posts should also have a place left open to introduce people to what Steem is and what it can do for them.

Creating Beneficial Change!

As I've laid out above, reaching out to people is one of the most important thing in regard to creating the world we long for that's why I want to reward those who are doing it.

My 100% upvote is worth around 70$ and I have 10 of these every 24 hours. I don't necessarily plan on giving only 100% upvote but I would love to give at least one a day for the best outreach posts.

Five days ago I said I would do such a thing for introduction posts. See here. It turned out I gave 6 100% votes in a roughly 24 hours period. Here's the list of those posts.

Any posts can be used to promote Steem, even introduction post. I will look for these posts promoting Steem in the tag #promoting-steem.

None of officially listed tags on Steemit are about promoting Steem. See here.

Creating The Culture We Long To Live From!

Let's create a culture where it's in everyone's second nature to share their most useful knowledge and human power.

Sharing our posts as much as possible should be part of this. Promoting Steem can be easy and can make any already valuable posts even more valuable.

It's easier to create a good post promoting Steem than to make any other type of post.

I Made Money On Steemit And So Can You!

There's so many people in dire need of money that money can always be used to attract attention but everyone should make sure to be honest though and clearly state that most people won't probably make as much money as the earliest adopters.

Now no matter how much money people will make on average, Steem truly is a revolutionary technology and that's one of the reason why I want to share it far and wide as much as possible. I've already shared about all this throughout most of my posts. Here's one good example.

By the way, a click-bait title is only a click-bait if the post isn't a useful post to the person who clicked on it. A title's purpose is to have people click on it and the intent of someone clicking on a link is to have a good time seeing what's behind that link.

Let's Reward Promoting Steem!

I will peruse the #promoting-steem tag. I invite others to join too. People should mention approximately how many people they will share their posts with, as well as provide links to these posts from their social media where they shared their posts.

I use Bitly.com to share my links on other social networks. Bitly allow me to know how many people clicked on my links and also when.

I have more than 200 clicks from Facebook's profile, on one of my post I shared there last week. I also have more than 90 views on the same post I share on one of my Facebook page.

Steemit.com receive around 555k page views per day and around 14.4k Steem posts are published every day. If everyone shared their posts and received only 10 clicks on them then that would result in a 25% increase in page views per day. From there, even more could be achieved.

It's a given, Steem's already skyrocketing popularity would experience an epic boost if everyone would shared most of their Steem posts to their other social networks and that's why we should all make concerting efforts toward this goal.

Boosting Steemit's Already Existing Buzz!

Each and every time people will hear about Steem should help generate create more interest.

Tagging friends on Facebook and Twitter as well as adding tag there, will definitely helps your posts get more views.

If a lot of people begin to use the tag #promoting-steem then it might be a good idea to put the number of people the post is going to be shared with in the first line under the title's post like I did.

The number of people being reached out isn't the only thing I'll be looking in rewarding posts. I'll also be looking at the overall quality.

I encourage everyone to help me incentivize this habit of doing as much as possible to boost Steem's growth.

Whether or not this initiative will do much difference remains to be seen. It might or might not but I felt like trying.

Thank you steemit, it's the wonderful social media platform that pays. :-). Can you please answer my question if possible? here is my question regarding steemit https://steemit.com/steemit/@stefen/what-happens-to-our-old-posts-after-7-days-can-we-still-get-paid-from-them-again-and-again

@themonetaryfew | July 20, 2017, 10:39 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

After 7 days you cannot be paid anymore. You receive your payout 7 days after you posted. People can still upvote your post after these 7 days, but it will not influence the payout after these 7 days.

@stefen | July 20, 2017, 10:44 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

thanks for the reply, but what i mean was we are creating posts for only 7 days unlike creating posts for our own websites which are long lasting, you still get paid because of your old posts because ads will display on old posts too right?.

@themonetaryfew | July 20, 2017, 11:33 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

On Steemit, there isn't any type of ad revenue to be earned with your posts.

Though, there are some accounts which have endorsements, mainly from one poker site.

@teamsteem | July 20, 2017, 11:39 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

You could use ads on Steemit also. I never used any. We're we going I'm not sure we'll need ads. Seriously.

@joanaltres | July 21, 2017, 12:20 p.m. | Votes: 7 | [ VOTE ]

Nobody discusses it much, but you could place ads on your posts as an affiliate, offer to do sponsored ads through Fiverr or to business leads you gather, even do sponsored posts maybe. I don't know how effective ads would be at this point, though. You'd probably need to generate more post views than the average Steemian for it to be worth it.

I think the best way to do it, and I think I read this in one of Stellabelle's posts, is too just have fun and blog. I think that strategy might work because that way you are probably more likely to stick at it for a while, which is an important factor in making money as far as I know. Also, your audience are more likely to enjoy your posts and look out for more, or follow you, because they can identify with you.

For over 10 years I've been saying the economic catastrophe that is looming will be avoided, but I never knew how. At least until this year when I revisited an idea I stumbled into back in 2010 called Bitcoin. This year has been like going back to school except I'm the teacher and the student, and blockchain is the subject I'm learning about. It wasn't until I learned about steem that I really fully saw the impact blockchain tech is going to have on culture and society.

Indeed Steemit is in it's early stages and it's only smart to get in now and start building a reputation here. Steemit will skyrocket in the near future and it will be harder and harder to get seen by someone, that's why it's so awesome to be here this early. Those who put quality to the community will be seeing success over time. People who join in a few years will wish they joined much earlier ! I know I would :)

I really did try to go down the rabbit hole as deep as possible. I glad you enjoyed looking at my blog.

I have some even deeper reflection coming out eventually. Soon hopefully.

I haven't even took a look at my passport yet. I've been doing some catch up on my life for the past 2 weeks of freedom. So much I want to share and yet so little time or so it seems.

I'll check this out next week for my passport. Shouldn't be too long and complicated either. Well everything involving the gov usually is a pain but we'll see...

I know what you mean. Money in Steem is just like a bonus. Nobody is forced to invest and everyone has the opportunity to make some, so it's a bit foolish to be scared of it.

Reddit is the 8th most popular website and give its users nada. People don't need to be paid to want to share, everyone wants to share and Steem is the best place to do it.

>If steemit.com were to close every Steemians would still have control of their funds and they could still access their exact same blog through other site like busy.org or app like eSteem.

the STEEMIT website could also be made available again as well, as it's also opensource and available on steemit's github as "condenser". Perhaps that's still what makes it ironic, though, that I'm releasing scripts to add "hide resteems" toggle buttons, and to enable minnows access to the "Post Vote Slider" on STEEMIT.com! But, of course, this seems easier for now than going through the "politics" of having the front-end modified or upgraded directly.

Perhaps the "powers that be" at STEEMIT.com will eventually see the usefulness of some of these mods and additions, and seek to include them directly.

>I know a lot of us wished we were making and publishing video when Youtube got launched back in early 2005. There wasn't a lot of competition back then and this would have been a good opportunity to build a valuable and fun business.

We were on YouTube almost that early, and we did gain quite a bit of traction as I believe you've seen from some of our posts about our past YouTube "experiences" (channel vlogolution). I've gotta agree that STEEMIT now does have a very familiar "air" to it.

However, on STEEMIT we've earned more already in a few short months than we ever did our first several years on YouTube (that was before the YouTube partnership program even existed). It wasn't until mid 2008 that our YouTube revenues really started kicking off.

It would be great if STEEMIT could also one day replace YouTube. However, there's gotta be a way to monetize all types of older content in a meaningful way. And that was just one more incentive for creating the script I just released, which demonstrates an already working "proof of concept" showing exactly how that can be potentially achieved right now!

On a side note, we also share all our STEEMIT posts across our various twitter and facebook accounts as well! :)

I think some people try to make money on Steemit using shortcuts. So what they might try to do is to keep checking what are the highest rating tags, or try to mention a whale in their blog (like I am doing here). Actually now that I think of it, that is what I am doing, especially with this particular reply.

Thanks for info. It's cool you were able to make what you did. The most obvious way to promote steem is to help your community profit. It's the life changing stories that attract people. We live in a world where everything is set up against us. People are tired of empty promises that draw their heart in and then leave them hanging.
There's a feeling of excitement when you first sign up. You write and #introduceyourself and everyone up votes it. You rediscover skills you forgot about and things are exciting. Yet that feeling is short lived. As you discover about steem power and bandwidth you learn more. Once the feeling subsides it's up to the individual to continue on. So just like the great feelings attract new users, feeling abandoned or mislead will lead to fewer users as people tell their story. So the stories told so ultimately depend on how good the steemit community and it's leaders are at lifting and supporting it's fellow steemians.

Amazing post as always @teamsteem! Much appreciation for your quality content.

Now I'd like to share some of my own perspective in regards to some subjects you touch on this post, so here I go:

You bring up some very valid points as to why we should promote steemit. I would like to share some points that I've seen so far:
* Steemit mostly promotes high quality content in order to encourage everyone to do better at what they're doing, to get better at their own posts, indifferent of what those posts are about.
* Steemit success is highly based on making friends, on interacting with other fellow steemians and interacting with the site itself, which promotes us to be engaged with other people, to make friends, to support them as they support us.
* Steemits way of promoting those who share valuable and well presented information also promotes the conscious evolution of Human kind as a whole.

Those are for now, and there are more, but your post motivates me to write my own post regarding my own experience in promoting steemit to friends who have never heard of a world like this.

Anyways, thank you so much for your work. It really does help those who wish to get better at what they're doing, and that is part of who I am.

Cheers @teamsteem! Ciprian.

P.S: You're dancing skills resemble mine when I'm so high that I don't even know what song I'm dancing to! Hahahah
Also, that's when I do the best dancing moves. So it's supposed to be a compliment. xD

That's a great initiative. One big problem remaining is waiting to get accounts approved. I had seen before that that is because of the initial cost and that if a person was willing ro pay it themselves that the wait could be circumvented and the people you have turned on to Steenit could jump on in. Would you, or anyone here happen to know where and how a person would go about using that method. Their are a couple people I know that I would be willing to pay for, and several others I would like to present the option to let them pay and skip the wait.

It is good to promote steemit and steem. The concept behind this platform is revolutionary. Indeed, it is easier to explain crypto currency to ordinary people using steem because it is the first cryptocurrency, whose mining was designed in such a way that ordinary people can participate.

You are changing the world indeed! Great to be a part of steemit community where people like you make things happen :) Thank you...

Although I do still wonder why I never encountered steemit last year or even earlier this year... I wish I had, I may have spared all my pennies from getting lost in many online fiascos. But perhaps this year is my year here at steemit :D
Anyways, I will continue promoting this platform daily.

Can you imagine those who haven't heard about it yet? Or those who heard about it a year ago but neglected it? There are so many stories like that throughout the cryptocurrency space...

Glad to have jumped on board the very same time I've encountered it. So many things to learn here...

Anyway to make purchasing of steem easlier😑 My only problem is that my country is making it hard for us to purchase bitcoin and to TOP up $ into the exchanges for us to purchase it. Not sure if it's possible to purchase steem directly next time from the site. I see steam out growing Facebook soon and if you guys can have a function for people to upload video directly on the site rather then going to YouTube, then this site will grow multiple times faster 😁

We should all be promoting steem as it has the potential to be a facebook and twitter rival, if not a killer, as you said it is a revolutionary platform. And much more fun to boot. That feeling when you push that post button and wondering if a whale is going to come along and release the full power of his vote on you, it is exhilarating.

However I think for me, as a minnow, this was the most important part of this post.

> New authors should probably stick to short posts requiring small amount of work and which are fun and witty.

I was spending hours writing my content only for it to be overlooked because I haven't put the ground work in and developed a following. It is pretty disheartening.

So thanks to people like yourself and @stackin, who have far more knowledge than me in marketing yourself, I am changing my game plan, and going to concentrate on making a name for myself.

Steem on my friend. Upvoted and followed.

Hi,
So full of information this post is.
Beeing new here (3 days), still trying to understand things, and it will take some time to get them.
First of my problem is how can i save, bookmark or do smth to see posts later.
I like this post and looked for a way to save it for later reading and havent found one except replying.
Is there a way to do that?

I dont use much social media but since i read and heard about steem i saw it is smth new and refreshing and want to give it a try.

Yes, it is also the pecuniar motivation but it is not my big interest here. You can't make money with things you dont like and want to.

So, maybe you guys will give me a tip on how to manage information here.

I read the faq but it will take some time to put things together.

Thanks and hoping will find a soution to my first little problem.

If everyone continues to just follow and resteem the whales in an effort to gain their attention isn't it just a popularity contest that was won from the beginning.

I'm a pretty recent newbie, and am putting a fair amount of time into a post right now titled, "Why I chose to not get the Rhogam shot while pregnant." I plan on posting a link to it on facebook. Doing that via bitly is a great idea! I like the idea of seeing how many clicks I get from fb. I have also been working to get people I know who have great content to join. My Mom is a professional writer and has a TON of blog material. What she doesn't have is a ton of extra time to build up a following/do a lot of commenting, etc. She takes care of my Gramma full time....My Sister is a model (part-time/semi-professional) and she has some wonderful photos to share. I've been trying to get her onto Steemit, since I know ya'll would love her stuff. But, she's expressed concern about copyright issues....I've told her Steemit doesn't "own" her stuff once she posts it, but she's yet to join. I'll see her this weekend and try to talk her into it again. Anyhoo, long comment to say I've been working to get folks on here! :)

I'm more about quality than quantity. The masses will follow eventually and why not make sure all the struggling artists, teachers, creators etc. who want to make the world better have a chance to make profit from being on here before the masses arrive.

I finally got around to bringing some friends and aquantinces to steemit. 5-6 this week, super awesome people with big hearts and lots to contribute.

100% agree @whatamidoing. I haven't checked in the last couple of days, but as I recall about 20,000 accounts are active at least once a week.

I'm more about quality, as well. I "recruit" quite a bit but it's almost exclusively person-to-person to people I already KNOW create high quality web content. It think it serves the site best to build a really broad base of quality content before emphasizing "mass" marketing too much. It will also ensure more people are established on the platform to help guide newcomers who see this purely as a "clicking for cash" site.

Sure, here's link to Empire Avenue. It's a social capital stock market. Not sure if you're familiar with that. It runs advertising missions which you give rewards to and they pay out when people click the links and watch the advertising or your link. I have like 50 million of their currrency so i can run ads this way indefinetly. The majority of the missions are generally completed. So pretty cool feature, steemit campaign is here with the tag

@denmarkguy | July 21, 2017, 11:07 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

@teamsteem, lots of good info here, as always!

Couple of thoughts... in these promotional/explanatory posts we do to the outside world, I feel it's pretty important that we make it very clear that STEEMIT is the social content site and STEEM is the currency. This site already has a steeper learning curve than most "plug-and-play" sites, so keeping term as accurate as possible should be a priority.

For the primary tag I would propose using "promoting-steemit" rather than "promoting-steem" UNLESS a post is specifically about the token rather than the social site.

Be mindful of a BALANCED presentation! This doesn't apply to you but if people are taking their cues from "power players," SOME are out there promoting the site purely as a "make money" venue... with the unfortunate consequence of attracting lots of people who are ONLY here to "click buttons for cash." Whereas there's nothing in the code to prevent this, the risk is that it provides ZERO lasting value. Better so say this is "a social content site that rewards contributors" than calling it a "make money online" site. Brings two VERY different types of people in.

I get what you mean but to mean Steem is also the platform and no matter where we access the platform we can post. Steemit does what is does because Steem allow it. Steem is the thing and Steemit is just part of it.

I understand your concern about the possible confusion it can create. We'll see how thing goes.

Sure we'll attract unwanted attraction but hopefully more positive contributors than negative one.

Unfortunately many people do not believe in this new concept of a social network with technology Blockchain database, others do not want to start with cents, they already want to be on top of the success, many still complain about finding people who did not succeed, and blame The whales. Anyway, I believe that in a short time everyone will be here, and there will only be remorse not to have entered before, because here is a social network system of the future.

I am a writer out for justice, abundance and freedom for all. I just went to the Rainbow Gathering and Standing Rock last year and have this innate desire to create a brave, new world comprised of small satellite conscious communities connected by caravan. We gotta change the way we eat, the way we think, and they way we work together! Seems like we're on the same mission. Looking to build a team of movers and shakers to work together to build this better world today!

If you have any sort of a following on another social network, then you need to make a post like this and have it visible to your audience over there.

This is key to growing both the community and your own following (read earnings) on Steemit!

The concept itself is just genuis! and you are quite right in what you said - most of the people who could benefit most from a platform like this, have absolutely no knowledge of it.

My father and my brothers are big crypto men and they have educated me a lot in the subject... they are my "gurus" haha.

It is the future - plain and simple and those that get into the game now are going to benefit MASSIVELY in the future.

And all that aside... Steemit as a community is a whole bag of awesomeness all on its own!

Viva La Steem! I had a healthy level of skepticism when hearing about Steemit. How can one possibility generate dollars out of thin air? Once you realise STEEM dollars is the currency you are paid in, which can exchanged for BTC and then dollars, it's a lot easier to understand. Maybe more emphasis on teaching newbies how you actually end up with dollars in your wallet?

Hi @teamsteem,

Thanks for your article

Few days ago i compared Steemit, Steem with Foursquare, Flickr and Myspace using Google Trends:

The last 3+/- months steem and steemit had a lift off (blue and purple lines) (others are still declining)

https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmdywLjH7FrgyEKYRCku1viMHXHgRzQ19B1vxf7tN67dEy/1Untitled.png

This is a Google Trend chart comparing Facebook and Twitter over the last 5 years:

I too want to create positive change, and I am excited about Steemit. On other social media sites the users are creating the value but most of them will never share in the rewards. Here on Steemit we actually get rewarded. I will tell my friends for sure, but it is my hope that Steemit will make Facebook the next MySpace.

Well written post. Tells it all. But at times I feel that when you write a post it is all about who you know on steemit. People with high SP try not to upvote at all but gain others votes. It does take the encouragement away from the ones who cannot write smartly, but they try. Yes people do make money on steemit. Not equally. Same way is in life when people have management jobs and labor jobs. Does steemit play the roll of minimum wages? ☺

Lately I've been thinking a lot about how to blog in a way that people will really engage with my blog. I want people to leave comments. But I also want them to reply to my replies, as well as other people's comments and their replies. So I have noticed that a key theme on Steemit seems to be that if you are a minnow (someone who is just starting out with blogging on Steemit and you don't have a high reputation score / many followers / much steem) you gotta try and get a whale (someone who does have high reputation score / many followers / much steem) to upvote your posts or comments because their upvotes are worth a lot of money.

The one I'm worried about right now, what makes steemit judgments about the best content, whether they choose it or not.!
Because I see those who make friends so they get a lot of rewards.
