I recently came across a very good bloggers post @stellabelle which she indicated ( last year ) that Steemit is on the verge of disrupting social media . Fast forward today , I think that she is absolutely correct -especially after the successful HFORK . Most people that have not joined this amazing platform either do not know about it or are ignorant to believe that Facebook et al are sucking them dry like vampire without giving them a fair share of their time and contents online. In addition to my former post on this subject , steemit has seen drastic growth in recent days as reported by @penguinpablo and @stephenkendal, which shows a positive upward trajectory -this argument is supported by steemit Alexa ranking and consistent growth in market share. All these factors including paying members in steem for their post , upvotes and comments shows that steemit is far better than any other social media platform and therefore, it is only a matter of time that people will recognise that steem is highly undervalued-which will result in steem price spike and big gains to those of us who based their strategy on powering up.
Some points to note
Ned Scott and Dan Larimer founded Steemit last year. Ned has a background in private equity and Dan is a crypto expert, and a founder of BitShares another very good crypto to explore. The duo co-founded Steemit, a bitcoin-inspired social network that rewards those who sign up with cryptocurrency : By commenting on people posts , authoring articles, or “upvoting” other people’s content, Steemit users can gain “Steem Power” and steem dollars which can be converted to cash.
()
Moreover, since joining steemit few weeks ago, I have seen drastic success, however this does not come easy as it entails lot of hardwork, dedication, strategic alliances and being real. Successful steemians , for example, @sweetsssj , @timsaid , @jerrybanfield , @dan , @twinner , @good-karma and @trafalgar (to mention only few) did not see great success on day one rather they were consistent in their hardwork, true to their readers via good contents and most importantly , they invested time and money in steem and steemit- all these strategy led to their consistent success on daily basis.
Why Rich and Broke people need to join steemit
Unlike other social media, steemit does not discriminate rather it is based on good contents , hard work , building relationship and having a good strategy on how and when to upvote , comment (Please stop F4F comments) and good communication with fellow members via comments or steem chat. In fact you can start steemit without a dime and work your way up and gain financial freedom- which other social media platforms can not offer. Therefore , steemit is perfect for developing and developed economies citizens - the only thing required is internet , faith and ability to work hard.
Do you agree? send in your comments, pls resteem and upvote if you agree.
Good. Very good points; I see the same myself.
About a week after I found steemit, I invested pretty heavy..
It had the things I was looking for in my next crypto currency investment.
I could easily tell people why I was excited by the steem token, and the services steemit was providing to its users.
They each had a great feature set, such that when combined, and considering the level of invovlement in it's development, it seemed like a no brainer. I would actually rather be wrong, and pull out later, than wait to dive in.. usually a better investing strategy for me, in many years of hindsight.
I'm a tough crowd, so if you get past my filters, I should buy.
wow, very good comment and we share the same love for steem and steemit...lets stay in touch.
Following you buddy
Nice post @charles1. In my opinion there are currently only 5 options to become a successful steemian:
Either
OR
You nailed it! And if you're not in the top 4 group, then you better work your ass off and come up with some clever marketing ideas.
Point
I have to go with option 5:
Although I would rephrase it "no matter how low the payouts are. Regular, high quality posts are the way to go for Papa! Thanks for pointing this out!
Haha the same here, good one. I will add optin 3 to it isnt it?however gradually
It is the right way to go....but plenty of people are finding other ways to be successful. Gotta have that marketing game.
I agree...good point
@twinner
Your points are very germane as such i am following you to tap more from your wealth of knowledge...
that reminds me, i sent a new post yesterday related to superior brain power? my next articles shall be superior comments... am about to publish a post that will guide minnows and with your permission shall reference this comment while acknowledging its creator;)
Lol , @twinner haha you are 100% correct. Unfortunately, I am a man so being a good looking woman and having connection with the whales (makeing love to whales) is out of line. I am not a prominent Youtuber like Jerry et al, again that one is out. So it remains buying steem daily and powering up plus posting good contents even though I earn low payout , I will gradually see increase. Thanks for your advise, and support, bless you.
Hallo @charles1 !
Dies ist eine automatische Nachricht.
Anscheinend hast Du das erste Mal auf #deutsch geschrieben.
Willkommen bei Steemit !
Schau doch mal im https://steemit.chat/channel/deutsch vorbei !
Upvoted as always :P
Hey guys i just posted a hilarious try not to laugh if anyone could resreem and upvote that would mean the world :p
welcome
Thanks for the mention. Stephen
you are welcome , more success and thanks for all your great work here. Steemit is great because of people like you working behind the scene for our success.
very excellent post @charles1 quite informative.... keep it up
Steemit gradually is taking over. I have been a social media guy much of when i knew the internet and it has succeeded in making me poorer especially all energy and time invested on facebook page educating people on health with nothing to show for it...more so trying to monetize my blogging abilities through google adsence...however since i joined steemit, i have realised that being social can be beneficial which was before now unthinkable. @dan & @ned did very well for such by creating such platform for everyone to benefit fro m. But ofcourse, there are those who will benefit more and those who will watch others on the sideline and cry foul...
thanks once more for this post...upvoted as always...
Welcome , good comment. Upvoted
thanks as always
welcome
@elewarne
read your report of not being able to post on steemit...i had an issue myself of my post vanishing after confirming it in the new post section...i think its not about censorship nor political views, i trust steemit is open for all views....might be a bug issue...if all modalities are perfect from yoor side...did you reach support or try steem.chat and ask some informed guys st the general section...
keep me updated...
love your blog...
Good point
thanks ma'am as always...
ok
i hold steem dollars and steem also my friend :)
but not only..
Great, I agree
resteemed and upvote
Wow, bless you...lets stay in touch
A great summary, @charles1. You've gotten to the essence of why this could become the great equalizer when all the Pikettys of the world can only point out that we're not equal and the world ain't fair. Steemit does something practical not only to even the playing field, but to completely change the game and how we look at value. A terrific post, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your insights.
You are welcome my buddy, we will surely stay in touch. Thanks for your comment.
Pleasure!
Thanks and bless you
Waiting for steemit to hit mainstream!
Aren't we all. The facebook disruptor is finally here...
Point
Very informative post @charles1

UPVOTED and Resteemed.
You are welcome, thanks for your support

Thanks for the information.
Welcome, keep steeming
It's just a start steemit is future of social media
I agree, good point
steem goanna be the next Facebook more users than FB,Insta or Snapchat is a god investment for the future .
Absolutely...amen
Great post thanks a bunch for sharing !! 👍👍👍
welcome, more success to you and thanks
Awesomeness ! You too !👍👍👍
Thanks, bless you
your welcome!
I believe for steemit too succeed the wealth has to have a better distribution. Here are some whales dictating the finances. For steemit to really work it has to turn from a Kingdom more to a democracy. Even the whales should be interested in it, since the crypto steem could be worth 10%,25% or even 100$.It doesnt have to be equal chances, but a fair chance for minnows to grow and have their piece of the cake.
you have a point there @steemboys
Good point, however these whales invested more than 100K to 1M USD and powered it up..my strategy is not to complain rather work hard and keep powering up untill I attain a position of power
Thank u for shearing this post.
welcome
This post received a 3.9% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @charles1! For more information, click here!
if you use randowhale shortly after creating your post, you are actually burning money
https://steemit.com/steemit/@flurgx/why-you-are-burning-money-if-you-use-whale-voting-bots-incorrectly
Good way to market your post, but I disagree. If you wait 30 minutes or more, then the author gets nothing from rando. Best to do it in the first minute....yes, you will lose money, but that tip jar will look full!
It's wasn't about marketing 😀 I just came across your posting while researching, and then I saw that u used the whale immediately after creating... But I don't get your point. What do you think is your gain from an early rando except the $ that will melt over time?! You think a rando vote makes your post "hot" or trending?!
If you wait to use rando after 30 minutes have gone by, then you (the author) don't get anything.
If you use rando before the post is 30 minutes old, the author gets to keep what rando contributes on a sliding scale. 1 minute being better for the author than the 29th minute. Yes, the author loses $ over time like you say.
Either way, you're losing money with rando.
Ah ok now I get it. You are talking about the Curation share that you get in minute 1 and that rando gets in minute 30. But I'm talking about using rando on day 6, shortly before voting is over ..curators have been determined.. Rando gives you over $ ... But the Curation thing you are referring to is a good point, I'll look into it, thank you
Yeah exactly. If you use rando on day 6, your blog looks like it's making a lot of money. But, in reality the author won't get that money....it'll go to all the upvoters.
I sure hope this will materialize and Steemit becomes the top platform. One question I do have that is somewhat related to this is: If Steemit becomes hugely popular and the amount of content increases 100 fold from current levels, what happens to the amount of rewards? Wouldn't they become 100 times smaller as the same amount of Steem has to be divided over that many more posts? I'm slowly becoming more and more familiar with the intricacies of Steem, but that one I still haven't figured out :)
Good question. I think if millions of people join, there will be too much competition and lots of people voting too. All will then depend on your followers and quality of your posts and most importantly steem power
@livewell
not to worry, when we get to the river, we will walk through it;)
the most important thing now is work harder and ensure you save enough steem power so when it explodes, you one of those calling the shots...
Oh no! Not Stonehenge! O_O
Oh the humanity! Won't somebody think of the children?! ;c)
That aside, a well-written article with interesting thoughts expressed within.
welcome
hey @charles1 this not deutsch at all - please erase the deutsch tag ...
I absolutely agree, steemit is a nice little community, growing day by day, as you mentioned lately steemit have been growing a lot!
And for success you have to be a part of it, enjoy it and really want to do it!
And you have to be seen, work your way up, writing some posts, and don't sweat it if you can't find the inspiration to write, you can just browse through your favorite topics and comment around for people to start recognizing you!
Keep the good work up @charles1!
You are correct. Am sure that you will do great here with your strategy..keep steeming buddy, am following you now in order to stay in touch and send in my support. Success
on point @jerry12 a good strategy
I have told around 20 people of which 1 had joined. Snooze you lose
Great guy, thanks for your comment
That is for sure, taking from my past experiences on other social media platforms, I never found myself truly posting original content I just shared what i found interesting or funny, i never saw the value of connecting or creating original content, but with steem i find myself on here daily thinking of new posts or ideas and creating into some meaningful manner to be shared or to receive feedback on improving.
Good point, the same here
This is so true! Steemit has grown into such a great platform and is only getting bigger. It's hard to think we've only been out a year! I agree that we need to keep the "F4F" comments and other spam out of Steemit so that we can make it a great community where anyone can prosper. Thanks for sharing :)
Good one indeed, keep it up.
Steemit is still in its very early days. I think it can easily grow 100x its number of users.
Good read! You will enjoy this analysis on the bright future of steemit

Welcome buddy, you are so kind
Do you know why I can not post on steemit today? It says that I am missing posting authority???
Eva
did you use the right tag and in small letter? did you follow all the steps? if yes, then contact support
Well I tried to post it again and have been censored again...so obviously the new people running this site are biased and monitor posts based on their political leanings!!!! This means that steemit is crap now...these were pics of how we have destroyed our earth, rainforests etc,,,
why not try another post and see what happens...and make sure you refrence / source all including the pics
I did try again and referenced...because I always do and got the same message...missing authority for posting for me...
Hmmm , contact support

@charles1 I agree with your observations! And comparing FaceBook to a vampire is exactly right. Steemit is where I want to spend my social media time! 😊
Amen, I agee. Face book is a time waister and I gained nothing except gossipers and back stabbers fighting themselves and pictures of beautiful ladies haha...here is the real thing
charles, we are all one no matter how rich or broke you are, perfect...let's steem
I agree, bless you buddy. Keep steeming
Good read, @charles1. Wish you more success on Steem and look forward to reading more of your content! Cheers

Welcome, feel free to stay in touch with me..success
Bros i will be glad if you can follow me back and add me to your steemvoter and upvote my post. Thank you
Keep steeming and welcome
@charles1 I see Steemit just like you do and I believe that when people do finally start waking up probably after the next HF when the signup process will be a lot easier and after the launch of a few more DAPPS and the communities feature this should blow this thing wide open.
I agree, hence your strategy of buying and powering up..the same here.
@charles1 yup every time there is a dip in price I plan on taking full advantage of that opportunity to just buy more.
Great...the same here.
What do you think of EOS especially Bitshares?
Trying to gradually hold some Bitshares on open ledger wallet ..a good long term strategy?
@charles1 to be honest as big as EOS is I up to this point have not taken the time to really dig into it so I really cannot comment on it yet.
Come on my buddy @mrwalt do some DD on EOS and Bitshares in order not to miss out.
I am thinking of gradually holding Bitshares maybe with few steem dolars weekly.
I trust your Due dilligence. Remember your success in Etherium ? hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@charles1 yeah I need to get up to speed on both BTS and EOS as I keep hearing about them but just never took the time. However, they are still low right now especially BTS (EOS had a slight pull back).
Greatly appreciate your input and the strategy here!!
@sirvic thank you for your feedback.

Good post. Steemit is the future of blogging/social media without a doubt. So many people on Facebook, Instagram are moving over to Steemit and why not, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see the benefits straight away. It is very inspiring to hear about those that have big success, were in the same position of many of us at the start of our Steemit journey. I am inspired and excited about the opportunity Steemit gives me and can only look forward. I am so glad to be here. I wish you all success!
You are welcome, I agree with you. Keep steeming and more success
Thank you. I'm new and learning so much. Almost overwhelming but will carry on.
