Hey everyone. I have been on Steemit approaching 7 months now and what a ride it has been. Pretty much from day 1 I followed and interacted with @papa-pepper entered his contests etc. (I highly recommend you doing so too) It really has been an epic and brilliant journey (now if the steem price may just rise?) @papa-pepper is a regular content creator on Steemit so naturally I check in to his posts daily. Last December he made a post on a new Social media Site called SOLA and he posted an affiliate link which I clicked and joined and have pretty much done nothing since.
The last two weeks however here, I chat regularly with another steemian @mykos in Steemchat and he again mentioned SOLA I had remembered that I joined but that is as far as it went. So what I did is recently started posting, in the last 2 weeks odd and to my surprise it is actually rather pleasant. Now let me be clear SOLA is not a substitute for Steemit and Steemit is and always will be my favourite (I feel like a cheating spouse even stating that) BUT, SOLA is different and pretty cool easy to make quick posts, you have the potential to earn extra crypto's that been a few of the main reasons why I like it.
https://sola.ai/craigcryptoking This is what my homepage looks like. I tried a bit of a different strategy on SOLA than here and I am still predominantly in the learning phase, so for now A Ferrari wheel will be my profile pic and I will mainly be posting sports cars related topics, pictures etc as time goes I am sure that too I shall diversify!
Strategically I will utilize SOLA to Promote my Steemit Profile (and vice versa) in a symbiotic type relationship. My recent Steemit pics and posts I have been posting on SOLA in a 'summarized version' Here we call these POSTS or BLOGS on SOLA you make cards which is really cool because there is no need for a Title or Tags which is a huge time saving. Naturally if you want to create a quick post too here that is possible however I feel Steemit is more for Blogs/Stories/Novels/ Vast interaction between Steemians which happens regularly which generally you wont find on SOLA so in a way a Steemit 'Lite' if you will.
I will be posting my referral link at the bottom please do click it and join. I would highly recommend it as you are literally making online post cards, hence very minimalistic and simple to use and post. My plan with SOLA is to use it 'on the run' and as an extra 'string to my bow' in terms of paid social media.
Below an example of @papa-pepper page and the interaction. Upvotes on Steemit are Called 'Endorsements' on SOLA, much like Steemit when you join you get 'Action Points' which you can use to 'Endorse/Post/Comment' etc. Here I endorsed with the maximum of 100 AP (action points) and made a quick comment.
This is what my profile looks like on my phone a screen shot taken scrolled down a little from the first pic and 'landing shot'
Activity page, who you have endorsed and who has endorsed you.
Scrolling down a little more there are my older posts.
Lastly here we have one of @papa-peppers more recent posts.
Another really cool feature with SOLA, you can refer folks and in doing so you get 100 AP per person joining as well as 10% of the value on their posts so it really is a win win for everyone. I have already referred three folks from Steemit there @quailbreeder @annelienqueenb and @investometrics and they all love it, do the same and do let me know how your experience has been!! Be sure to also connect with @papa-pepper and @braaiboy on SOLA as I have ;)
I shall be doing regular SOLA updates to keep you all in the loop as to progress and my more 'experienced' views but for now be sure to click on my link below, get posting and let me know what you think and do the same for others, much like Steemit we are a community helping others, helping us, help them, help ourselves really such a wonderful mantra with the added bonus is we get to create more great content to use on Steemit as I just have ;)

Have a super week!
Cheer$;)
PS: when joining SOLA I would suggest using your same name there as you do here, it is just really easier to connect with followers/friends on both Platforms in doing so.
Thanks for the shoutout dude!
... and thanks for reminding me to go play on SOLA... been a busy weekend though, so I'm playing catchup here on steemit :P
P.S. Sorry for the reply from my development bot account on that spammer's post... was logged into the wrong account :-)
Whats up bad boy no stress and all good, you been having a swell time? Cheer$;)
Yeah... had a lekker long weekend, thanks!
Did you go away?
No bud I wish I really need to get out to a game park asap, need the peace and solitude again and many beers of course ;P
Alright I'm going to check it out. It looks like their coin SOL is not listed on coinmarketcap yet though. How do you pay out your SOL to Bitcoin?
As an aside, I have to say what an unusual name for a coin. They probably should have called the bitconnect coin SOL.
Hey @jeezzle how are you finding SOL? Steemit is way better no doubt but for a little extra cash it could work??
I'm frustrated with the lack of input options. Typing a short form thing is okay once in awhile, but there's simply no way that I could write an entire chapter of my book into there when I've already written it. That is ridiculous. Another commenter mentioned that they only accept original content, and therefore no copy paste...... but I copy and paste my own original content and I think a lot of people do. Not allowing you to copy your own content from one application into another one is really reducing options for that particular site.
Can it work for what it is? If it does work, then you should definitely use it. However, looking at it from the standpoint of usability...... I'd have to say that there are a few better options coming up with the SMT sites, and of course Steemit and then EOS not too far along........ so there's going to be a lot of blogging sites in the crypto world and I'm not sure if Sola can stand up to the others. I guess time will tell.
I hear you bud and understand your point and where you are coming from. I guess for me I take and post tons of pics so at times dont want to spend hours on a blog, but for writers such as yourself very frustrating, but do login daily as you get AP and even if you just post 1 pic and a 1 liner a day could be worth quiet alot of cash in time as with folks who joined in 2016 on Steemit, all smiling now. My two cents. Have a sweet day bud. Cheer$;)
True story its not worth much currently 1c odd I hear but 9 years ago so was bitcoin, I have been on Facist puke for ten years odd already and not earned a cent, so my two odd active weeks on Sol have given me 12 c odd. Bonus ;) and its fun. Check it out and let me know what you think. Drop me a line that side I'll give you some love. Cheer$;)
Oh and yes rather strange name, My Girlfriend is on there and every so often we ask each other if we have checked our SOL.. LOL #facepalm I still definitely prefer Steemit though and nothing will change that!! Sol is nice for a quick 'no need to think much' post which at times is cool!!
