I'm hardly a big player here - I don't find the time to write that often, and I have a company to run and all that, but I do try to throw a few words together when I get a chance. I have been experimenting with some cross-posting, and I'd love your opinion.
The content breakdown of what I post where (my primary website, Twitter, Facebook, Steemit, Github, etc) varies pretty wildly. I use Twitter for tech ranting discussions/diatribes (usually not cryptocurrency related though), Facebook for politics diatribes and cat videos, my own website for tutorials and businessy-stuff, and Steemit for some mix of all of those things plus some art and recipes.
As I try to figure out what Steemit will be for me personally, this usually shakes out in one of two ways:
Reposting My Older Content to Steemit
I have occasionally *re-posted* something that I published a long time ago somewhere else (one of my websites, my GitHub, etc.) It's still my content, and my intention is to introduce my Steemit followers to some of my best (if a little older) work. I've been writing on the internet for over 20 years, after all - and it's unreasonable to expect folks who follow me here to track down all of my websites if they want to read more from me, so it seems like an ethically sound thing to do. I always disclose if it's been published elsewhere, so it's not like I'm tricking anyone. I have only ever pulled over content that I thought had real value and was some of my best work.
Reposting Steemit Content to My Own Sites
Some content I post here doesn't make sense to post on my primary blog. It's known for being a tech/business blog, so my (albeit awesome) curried egg recipes would seem a little weird there. But occasionally, I end up writing something here that I'd like to add to my blog. My policy has generally been that I post it here, then wait a week and post it to my blog with a link back to my original Steemit piece, that way nothing is competing with the other.
I personally feel like it's okay to do either/both of these things, since it's my content and I always disclose if it's been published elsewhere, but I'm curious what the Steemit community thinks. Is it gauche, or is it okay, as long as the content is your own and re-posted in good faith?
