Many bloggers become famous due to the insane amount of traffic they received to their blogs or websites. In Sweden, we have many "blog-celebrities". Blondinbella for instance. Her real name is Isabella Löwengrip.
I might be wrong here and I won't try to discuss or share any major details regarding her career. But let's just say it like this:
She started out like a teenage girl who published tons of post about her newest lipsticks and whatever. She shared photos and basically used her own blog just like people are using their Facebook accounts. - She got insane attention and quickly become a "celebrity" with thousands of followers. She's 26 years old today. She's a Swedish entrepreneur, author, lecturer and blogger and she runs her own company.
She has more than 700,000 likes on Facebook. 25,000+ subscribers on Youtube. Almost 400,000 followers on Instagram and almost 70,000 followers on Twitter. - With that being said, she started from scratch and she worked her way up. All the way to the top.
The fun part is, that she adapted too. And that's why she's still very successful. - She knew she wouldn't be able to be this average teenage girl her entire life so she became an adult and also changed her approach on her social medias too.
However, we're talking about one person here. How many million bloggers are there?
Let's face it. Facebook, Instagram and all these platforms are killing personal websites & blogs. - Because you don't need blog's anymore. - They're outdated.
You can create your own business page on Facebook with just a few clicks. - It takes a few minutes, tops. - It takes you a couple of seconds to upload your most recent photos on Instagram and you can with ease target customers, find new clients or talk with both new and old friends. - Social Media is killing everything related to personal blogs and websites.. - And in my honest opinion, I think it's great.
That being said...
Take a look at Steemit. You have raw potential here. All it takes for you to become successful, is you. You have the tools, you need to figure out the best way to use them.
You could use your Steemit blog for personal use only, or for business related things. You could even create and run your own business on Steemit. - Look at @randowhale and @booster for instance. Both great initiatives to boost the presence and people's content... For a fee. - How awesome is that? - It's literally the perfect business!
Look at @neoxian. Savings & Loans and SP Delegation service. - Both awesome ideas. He not only helps the community or individuals by doing this, he also profit himself by doing this. - He runs it like a business.
Take a look at @lauralemons, a great author who shares content in various niches. Personal, non-personal, funny, sad etc. - She shares basically everything you can imagine. - However, one thing stuck out.
- The First Walking Talking Steemit Logo!
She's not only talented, she created something unique. - And take a look at what @stellabelle said in her article.
And what does that mean...?
- Laura can easily turn her passion & her talent into a business.
All it takes, is to come up with something unique. Something you believe would work. - And do it. - You have nothing to lose.
Steemit gives you the opportunity...
Like Eminem would say:
If you had
One shot
Or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture
Or just let it slip?
- What will you do?
What you do is entirely up to you. You can use Steemit for what it is for most people. A Social Media platform where you can earn money from content and curation. - Or you can use it just for fun. For the sake of using something different than Crapbook and all these other boring platforms...
You can share whatever you want. Photos, stories, memes or whatever suits you... And you could use Steemit for business. - What matters though, is that you strive to be yourself at all times... And that you take advantage of the opportunities you see.
I know what I have in mind. I know what my long haul goals on Steemit are. - I know that I'm dreaming of becoming a well-known, established Steemian who could make a full time living on Steemit. - And I work hard to reach these goals.
However, there's nothing that says that I ever will reach these goals... - But I won't give up.
- I truly believe that blogs & websites are dying, and I believe Social Media is killing them. Slowly. - However, I also believe, that Steemit has so much potential so I bet it could make people turn their backs on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter too.
I mean, it's 2017. - You've probably had your Facebook account for about 10 years already... - How often have you earned a single cent? - It's time to earn. Mark, where's our rewards?
I've probably made a few thousand dollars on Steemit already, in 1 year. - So, sure, I'd probably stay on Facebook too, in case I got a payout for $50,000 or so. - Mark, send me a message on Steem.chat in case you want to transfer the funds to my paypal. Otherwise, I suggest that you pay me in STEEM or SBD. - It's easy to transfer these currencies between users.
Oh, and btw. - Mark. - Make sure to send $50,000 to all your users too, while you're at it. - All your users deserves some sort of rewards, don't you agree? - I guess not, that's why you'll end up with a lousy, non-crowded platform within a few years. - That's when you'll come to Steemit and if you do, send me a message and I'll delegate some of my SP to help you grow your Steemit account.
- You can thank me later.
