After steeming for several weeks now I thought about making a list of user types here on Steemit. Probably you can find yourself in this list, too ;)
Let's start with:
- The Developer
Developers act in the background and inform users about new updates. Gradually they appear and introduce themselves to the community.
- The VIP
A well known person from real life with a huge fan base in social media comes up and posts the first article. The hype is huge and everybody upvotes because it is great to see some VIPs joining the Steemit project. Those VIPs help to spread the word and make the community bigger.
- The Whale
Wanted! Everybody's goal is to attract some whales. With the enormous SteemPower a single whale can make you well paid for your content. But only good content will tempt whales to upvote your post.
- The Professional / The Midas
It doesn't matter what the Professional is writing about, you will always find his articles on the front page of Steemit. What the Professional writes gets into gold. Of course there is a lot of hard work and skill behind those people.
- The Traveller
This user type travels around the world and shows us beautiful places in their posts. Some manage to extend their trips only with Steem or SteemDollars :)
- The Steemit Expert
The Steemit Expert bears always a helping hand and writes a lot of informative articles. Newcomers can ask and get helpful answers. Those guys are the real MVPs of Steemit :)
- The Financial Adviser
Next to the Steemit Expert the Financial Adviser gives you tips in the field of Bitcoin, altcoins or stocks. The analyse charts and tell you what they think will happen in the future.
- The Chef
The Chef brings you joy with some delicious recipes. Regardless of whether you need a recipe for smoothies or other meals the chef always nows what's best for you.
- The Sportsman
The Sportsman contributes content which helps to stay fit and eat healthy.
- The Steemit Addict
No matter what time zone the Steemit Addict is he posts all day and all night always looking for his next coup.
- The Lazy Henry
The Lazy Henry tries to make huge amounts of Steem and SteemPower without big efforts. Most of them will fail!
- The Lucky One
The Lucky One starts posting and gets a huge number of upvotes. But only once.
- The Copycat
Copycats try to get some fame without work. They copy ideas or even articles to earn some money. But usually it doesn't make sense because the Steemit community is the best watchdog around ;)
- Bots
Bots try to make quick money with comments and replies under articles of whales. The hope to get an upvote. Some bots are helpfull (e.g. chetahbot which shows articles from copycats), some are really rich (e.g. wang the welcome bot).
What user type are you? Just tell me in the comments :)
The newbie!!!! the one who click everywhere and doesn't seem to know too much about steemit!!
He's always screaming "where is the money"
