Why Steem Has Such a Unique ROI Proposition to Investors

---

Hello Friends!

We talk a lot about attracting new users to the platform based on the amazing community and ability to earn for content creation– but what about attracting investors solely on the unique ROI proposal?

As the crypto space continues to grow in popularity and awareness – more people will be looking for ways to invest their money into various cryptocurrencies. Of course, many will be initially attracted to Bitcoin – but after a while, most will start researching various alt coin options. I’ve even seen this with my “non-crypto” friends who are thinking of investing in the crypto market. Many of them want to find some cool alt coins they can get behind.

Passive Income through Curation

This is where I think Steem has a really unique earning proposal, even for those who don’t want to post content. When people are researching various alt coins to invest in – many of them do not offer any kind of “dividend”. NEO offers Gas and a few other alt coins have kickbacks of sorts – but for most of them, it is a waiting game to see the price of the coin rise over time.

By owning Steem, people have the ability to earn additional income from their investment through the curation reward feature. By using their Steem Power to vote on quality content, they can literally earn passive income every day from their initial investment – which will allow their Steem to grow over time.

For those who like to consume a lot of content – this may lead them to manually curate content every day and simply add Steemit to one of their “news pages or blogs” they check regularly. For those who want it to be truly passive – they can find authors that they resonate with and set them on auto vote so they are still putting their investment to work by getting curation rewards every day.

Make a Positive Difference in Other’s Lives

BONUS… they get to use their investment to positively impact others. By giving out votes every day – they are helping to support content creators on the site, even if they are not posting content themselves. Heck, they could even pick Steemit members that live in developing and third world nations and could literally change their LIVES by increasing their income through their vote.

Isn’t this kind of obvious?

I know this may sound simple, but I still thought this was an important topic to discuss. As we all have more and more friends looking to invest in cryptocurrency – we can talk to them about Steemit, not only from the author perspective – but from the great ROI opportunity they can receive on their investment, all while helping others. It’s a win, win.

Who knows, maybe once they get on the site, they will decide that they want to start posting content or comment on other’s posts and become an engaged member of the community too.

I hope you guys found this vlog to be helpful, or at least thought provoking. Sometimes the pushback I get from people on Steemit is that they don’t think of themselves as content creators. I think reframing the conversation for those people to point out the unique ROI opportunity may be a good way to go about it and help them get plugged into a super awesome alt coin.

Let me know what you guys think of this! I’d love to hear your thoughts and questions below.
