Steemit.com: Blogging is the new Mining

[trumpman]

Don't post crap, don't use bots, engage in active communities (e.g. science & homesteading) and you will get real votes. If you expect to make money from memes, shitty photography or 1 paragraph blogs of what you ate for dinner you will fail.

I don't do what you say and I don't expect payment from those low things. I have high quality blog about startups but there's no real votes from people who actually have power. That actually shows us how centralized this voting power thing, you just proved my point.

Engaging with communities proves the voting power is centralized? lol

Whatever, check my signature, as you can see I always have relatively good payouts and I started with only the 15 delegated steems everyone gets. Feel free to contact me by pm, if you do post high quality stuff I think I can help you

Steem is growing very fast. Seems to be highly undervalued!

Finally got my account approved now, after waiting close to 3 weeks. Now I almost forgot what I planned to do on that site.

LOL.

I`m still waiting, since 6 weeks. But it`s ok, because too many want to join steem. They are very busy, actually. Very good sign, that steem is gonna be huge!

Steemit voting bots are clear scam, don't use them. I was aware of that for a long time but I wanted to test it myself.
Results are here:
Spent: 20.50 SBD
Received after 7 days: 13.56 SBD, 4.04 SP

In the last time too don't lucky with bots. My result:
Spent: 37.50 SBD
Received after 7 days: 18.75, 6.27 SP
Need trying something other for promote.

I wrote this post about bots just this morning - I hope this helps

Haha. I guess you just want to write about something you are already interested in.

If you wait for 6 weeks it might get lost in shuffle. As far as I know all registrations later than 3 weeks happened already Yesterday.

Maybe it depends on the country. I´m from Germany.

Yep, I registered on steemit and posted an article about reviews for a blog bounty post. Only got 1 like and still finds it difficult to know how it works. I know it’s a social media platform but getting around it seems difficult more so that its an altcoin presently on its own exchange and some monies are made per post. Too bad got none for mine. Any one who can put me through this, I will appreciate.

Welcome to Steemit!! New people hardly get any attention here, unless they are celebrities, or have lots and lots of Steem in their wallet, or post exceptionally high quality content. Other than that ability to network with whales, members from your own community helps. But it is really really difficult. I have been there for a year, writing good articles, but got nothing much. Between you can always use paid bots like Minnowbooster, Buildawhale etc. to get some visibility, if that's what you are looking for.

I`m pretty sure steem will fix such problems. (it`s still beta-version)
Have a look at google, at the beginning they had many spam on the first page, too. But now their algorythm is way better. I´m pretty sure steem will adjust the upvote-machanism, too and kick the voting-bots out. Only a matter of time... it`s still beta-version, don`t forget that.

But you also have to learn a strategy to get upvotes, it`s not easy, but possible. I`m comparing steem-blogging with online-marketing-tactics, you have to be familiar with that.

Why do they take so many days to approve account?

Yes, there are many groups of people upvoting themselves when there is an article posted by them. Many people are using a lot of Bots for upvoting and exactly steem will overcome all these in their live version. Beta version is always to find out bugs in the system before releasing the live version.

Should I invest in Steem or Steem-Dollars? As I know Steemdollar is pegged to US-Dollar. But why is it trading much higher at the moment? The chart looks in comparison to the steem-chart unnatural to me. Will the Steem-Dollar drop down to 1 $, soon? Which is a better longterm invest, STEEM oder STEEM-Dollars? Very confusing, thinking all day about it...

Hey Guys,

Anyone know if there is any website like Reddit on Steem? or if someone is building such thing.
Or do you see any roadblocks in making such a thing?
As per me, I think it is very suitable use case for steem and looks feasible idea as well.

What do you suggest?

I prefer Steem because of its high average volume. And quite a lot of Exchange.
Besides, its stable price makes me interested to invest long term. 

[ingiltere]

Finally Steem and Steem Backed Dollar price is under 3 USD again. Low price is better for us long term holders. I can think about to get more Steem Power now with that price.

Steem 2.89 USD
Steem Backed Dollar 2.90 USD

Finally at last I have been approved
