Business in the Steemit world

Source

Business is the activity of making one's living or making money by producing or buying and selling goods or services Source.

Just like in the physical world where we have the business men and women who provides goods/services for a specific amount of money, so we have it here on steemit world.

There are numerous business on the steemit world which includes but not limited to

• Bid bots
• Vote selling
• Leasing and Delegating Steempower
• Exchange services
• Freelancers and so on

What a world you say, Yeah 5 business and counting. Now let us look at each and everyone of them.

The most booming business on the steemit world presently is Bid bots. You may have heard about it or not. Using @yabapmatt steembottracker I counted over 150 functioning bid bots. Bid bots function by accepting SBD/STEEM to the bots for a chance to get an upvote in their voting round. This SBD/STEEM is just like money in the real world that you pay for some service. Same applies here, in the event of @smartmarket founded by @therealwolf, you send some token and get upvoted at a certain percentage provided you have been whitelisted.
