Hey, how exactly does the payment system work around here?

in curious •  4 years ago  (edited)

Thanks for the info, but I was kinda meaning more like how can I earn more Steem here, like how can I get the value of my posts and comments to go up. I'm trying to see if there is a way I can actually start generate a decent amount of currency through art or writing or whatever. Any pointers? :)

It's a matter of gaining followers and attracting more votes. Honestly, you'll probably do better on Hive. I had my Steem account first and still post here but I do better there. Looking at the trending page on Steem it seems most users are Korean here and Korean language posts seem to be the ones with all the votes. There are some exceptions. But the strategy is the same either way. Make sure your tags are accurate, particularly the first as that is used as a category. Find one or more communities that fit your posts to post in. Follow others who post stuff you are interested in. Comment on and upvote their posts when applicable and of course, make quality posts yourself. It's the sort of thing that grows over time as you gain more followers.

If you do decide to join hive (hive.blog), make an introduction post with the first tag being "introduction". Talk about your interests, include sample art work, and ask for advice about communities. You should get a healthy response though it can be hit or miss. Wouldn't hurt to do the same thing here even though you've already had a few posts.

Looking at the communities here, there are one or two good photography communities but I don't see much in the way of artwork. Hive has more. Check out the On Chain Art (https://hive.blog/trending/hive-156509) and Alien Art Hive (https://hive.blog/trending/hive-158694) communities. Hive even has an associated NFT showroom (https://nftshowroom.com/gallery) where you can turn your art into NFTs and sell it. Though I'm not the one to ask on how exactly that works since I 'm not much of an artist.

Doesn't hurt to post on both hive and steem to double your chances of getting some big payouts.

Thanks will do!

Say, which registration provider on Hive should I use? Ideally one without a phone attached.

I had an account upon creation of the blockchain since I had a steem account during the split. I'm not sure what the requirements are these days but you can try hive.blog, peakd.com, ecency.com, and leofinance.io to start with.
