I hope that you find this video informative. My aim is try and explain as much as I can about Steem, Steemit, and the Steem platform to potential content creators and investors. I strongly believe the idea of a blockchain based social media platform is fantastic and will become very popular in the near future.
I am also aware that this method of earning rewards is very strange to most people not familiar with the blockchain or cryptocurrencies. Steem is not intended for just those that are interested in cryptocurrencies but anyone with any form of talent that can be articulated though the web; this could be painting, photography, videos, education, travelling, etc.
I recommend you get in now and give it a try. The price of Steem is reasonable for investors and content creators can still get a head start over the possible wave of content creators that could hit the Steem platform once it becomes more mainstream.
Thank you for watching
