Like the 10 minute offering solicitation in the modern church, we on Steemit have have a laser like focus on the return on Steemit efforts, i.e. rewards that we receive on Steemit,solely in terms of money. @cryptodan
We've bought into the Google AdSense model of monetizing the internet for content creators & thrown curation into the mix as well.
We've not managed the expectations of newbies: Make money; get rich on posting on Steemit.
Steemit is sold as a new, improved monetization
channel for content producers.
Which it is.
But, isnot Steemit more than
AdSense glorified on the blockchain?
Steemit is more than monetization
More than AdSense glorified on the blockchain
1. _Assign a value_to the interactions I've had with people from Sylhet, Bangladesh, Armonk, NY & Caracas, Venezuela on one post.
2. Price in the learning opportunities that I've had from people with different cultures, languages, goals & freedoms & financial standing.
3. Monetize the opportunity to make the world a better place for everyone.
4. Wearing my copywriter's hat, Steemit has catalysed breaking both writer's block & creative inertia in me. If I aspire to produce at least one Steemit piece per day that I am proud of, over & above, promotional pieces for friends & clients, I need to focus. No dawdling, in the guise of inspirational serendipity.
While, I don't anticipate that I will be able to make a living off Steemit, like @sweetsssj, in the near future, making money is not the only reason that I'm on Steemit.
