The thought of a time machine often comes to mind, especially when you think back on missed opportunities. The Internet has taken the world by storm and connectivity is at an all-time high.
Fun Fact: In 2009, there were 3 connected people in developed countries for every connected person in undeveloped countries. Now there are 2 connected people in the undeveloped world for each connected person in developed countries.
With the internet, social media and sharing platforms soon became very popular. More popular than it could have ever been imagined! Facebook, twitter and youtube see more information shared daily than all the books ever written.
Steemit is the next step in social media. For the first time, there is an economic layer to social media. One of the consequences of this is that people act in a much more civilised manner (usually). This does not detract from the freedom that users have in sharing their thoughts. Youtube and Facebook have taken some questionable steps to censoring their users which could be dangerous over time.

There are two types of people I have run into that have given me problems. Sceptics and Unmotivated people...
Sceptics are the most difficult to deal with so I will focus on them today. Try as you might, they will insist it is a scam and refuse to even give the platform a try. I usually try these things.
Keep asking them; What have you got to lose?
Once you have earned a decent payout, do not be afraid to spend some of it. Showing sceptical people what you have accomplished helps. Perhaps even take them for lunch with your earnings. Prove the money exists.
At this point, even the sceptics will want to at least open an account. This is where your work starts! Steemit can be overwhelming to new users. Sit with them and take the time to explain things to them. If you are new yourself, feel free to speak to the community. It really is quite awesome!
