I was scrolling through Youtube videos a few weeks ago when I found one by Jerry Banfield on how to make money online. That led me to Steemit.
I vaguely remember Jerry recommending to write about stuff you know, and to make quality posts. Or maybe I made that up, I don't know.
The point is, at first I figured
Post tits, make monies!
Because that's what I'm good at: finding and sharing pictures of beautiful naked ladies.
And I did just that, I made a few posts with quality pics in them! But it didn't really work.
So I read a bunch of posts on how Steemit really works. I read about STEEM, SteemPower, SteemDollars, and I completely didn't get it.
I read about upvoting, witnesses, minnows, whales, curation rewards and I didn't get those either.
Instead I figured
Fuck it, just post good stuff and see what happens.
Which is what I've been doing for some time now: I just post threads about things that interest me, and I reply to other threads when I feel my input makes sense.
I upvote posts and replies that I think deserve it, and I don't care about timestamps and rewards because that shit is too complicated.
And when I find a post that's really good, I will resteem it.
Is this a good introductory post?
I wonder. I tried to read @teamsteem's guide but it's soooo long. I'm not giving you guys my details here. Or my hobbies, favourite books/movies/food/...
I doubt you care.
Steemit motivates though
I do have to admit that Steemit's reward system does motivate me to only make quality contributions, apart from this one obviously.
And I think I'll keep on using Steemit for a while.
Bottomline
I don't know if this is how I'm going to make my fortune, but it's how I'm going to use Steemit!
