As you know I am the moderator of the subreddit r/steemit, I'm in the process of receiving full permissions on it if the Reddit admins will allow it which means I am going to be able to invite more people to help me moderate it and turn it into something else than the #postpromotion and #help channels on steem.chat. Of course those posts will be allowed as well but we want it to be a nice onboarding place where people can easier find the information they are looking for with some daily sticky posts about discussion, etc.
I want to create a new incentive for sharing your Steem posts on Reddit. Over time a lot more posts are being shared, most of them on the popular cryptocurrency subreddit r/cryptocurrency. They are bringing some traffic to Steemit but it is not a lot and people don't share their posts often. We are missing the viewcounter on posts at the moment but I am hoping it will be back soon and improved.
The incentive will be to reward these posts with votes that get a lot of visibility on various subreddits.
This does not mean that you should cheat your way and use bots, etc. If found cheating and going against Reddit's rules you will be disqualified from future participation. It is just an incentive to share your posts more. Users will be invited to a discord server where they can submit how their Reddit shares are doing and users will reward them accordingly.
These are the traffic stats from alexa.com that we want to improve.
Through this link you can easier check all posts that have been shared on various subreddits linking to Steemit.com:
https://www.reddit.com/domain/steemit.com/
We will also accept posts that go to busy.org and various other Steem front-ends.
If you are interested in participating, send me a message on Discord at Acidyo#8038.
Users that are interested to help moderate the subreddit can join the discord server as well, I believe there were some that have been in the past and thank you to those that have remained active on the sub and helped newcomers.
Thank you for your interest.
If you have any further questions about this feel free to ask them here in the comments.
Woooo, sounds like a great idea! I'm on reddit every day, but I hadn't ever thought of sharing Steemit posts there, lol. I understand that every time a #postpromotion channel is created on Discord, a thousand minnows start sharing their stuff every second, lol, and it's really hard to say what's good or bad from that.
There's normally no input, no participation, no quality checks, everything in chronological order, just adding to what is usually called the "spam channel". But reddit has proven that thousands of users can share one place and provide a lot of content and if they are nice contributions that fill the hivemind with a nice feeling, those posts can get a nice share of votes.
I'm all for this and I'd frequent the subreddit. I'd even propose to moderate it if I knew the implications, but I guess I can talk that over on Discord, right? I'm excited about this new project. <3

Since cryptocurrency is big right now, I thought it might be worth having a chat here about Steemit. To be honest, I'm a bit surprised it's not being discussed more in startup communities.
About 5 weeks ago, a buddy of mine, who's been deep-diving into crypto over the last year or so, told me that I need to check out Steemit. He knows I love Reddit, and post in this sub a lot, and he was like "Why don't you post somewhere where you get paid everytime someone upvotes your content?"
I kinda called BS at first, or didn't have time, or whatever, but I eventually started checking it out and realised a few things:
There are people making serious bank on this platform. Particularly with the way crypto-currencies are going right now.
It's still in its infancy, which means it's a really good time to establish a presence
Over the last few weeks they've started to see exponential growth (something like 12k+ new accounts this week), which means huge future potential.
I'm still not completely sold on the platform, and there's a ton of crypto-stuff under the hood that I will probably never bother to understand, but I do kind of like the model. Roughly, upvotes (either on posts or comments) earn you Steem, and the amount you earn depends on how much Steem the voter has. Similarly, if you upvote stuff early that makes it big, then you earn Steem for curation.
Other major differences from Reddit include embeddable images, and more of an emphasis on who follows you - eg, my default "front page" is full of posts from people I follow.

So I've been sharing my blog posts on steemit subreddit. But that really help bring in more traffic to steemit, now would it? So should I share my posts on other subreddits instead?
P.S. You should maybe hold off pouring acid over reddit for the time being

Yes posts shared on r/steemit won't count, the point is to share them where you can bring a lot more visibility to users that haven't heard about Steem yet. Your posts should be posted in the appropriate subreddits depending on the content of it.

I wish we could get finer grained stats on Alexa based on specific sub pages of steemit (per blog redirect stats for example). I wonder if that exists? Maybe we need a link shortener to track clicks into the shared page hmm....

Great post as always. Yes, I was handing out upvotes to people who commented on my latest post (The 175 Steem Giveaway for the Mayweather vs. McGregor Mega Event that just happened this past weekend). I ended up giving more and also upvoted all the entries. I'm thinking of doing another contest with US Open Tennis. Still thinking of the rules now. Hope you can join that contest as well !!!

Money from upvotes come from "tokens" which are traded (i.e. bought) on cryptocurrency exchanges.
It's basically a transfer of wealth from investors to users of the site.
Why would anyone buy this token?
With Steem Power you can earn more and cancel other people's rewards.
And on Steemit's particular interface your post will have more exposure.
Of course any site could interact with Steem's blockchain.

It’s been awhile since social networks have tried to motivate users by paying them some “money” (either real or not). Take a look, for example, at the Reddit’s try:
And there were some others:
Also take a look at the Empire.Kred social network: Empire.Kred is designed to drive social media activity and interaction between the registered members. A player’s value increases, in part, as a result activity on social media sites and their own verified blogs and rss feeds. In addition, a player’s value increases through dividends paid-out by other members he or she has invested in. Thus, the social media activity of a player’s investments also contributes to his or her game wealth. It is in the player’s self-interest to follow, favorite, or otherwise contribute to the social media activity of those they invest in.
But let’s continue with Steemit!

In the digital currency world, people love to talk about the “killer app,” a use for the technology that would bring it truly mainstream and compel the people who are dubious about Bitcoin to buy in. Many are still waiting for it, and say bitcoin needs it to succeed in the long run. Ned Scott believes he’s got it.
Scott is the cofounder and CEO of Steemit, a social network that runs on a new cryptocurrency called steem. Scott, a former analyst at food-industry private equity firm Gellert Group, and Dan Larimer, founder of BitShares, launched the network and the currency in April. Since that time, its market cap has ballooned from $2,000 to $300 million. The platform is very young, and has its problems, but it shows impressive potential.
Steemit works like Reddit, which Scott cites as an overt influence but says he hasn’t used. Steemit users publish a blog post—it could be any length, any topic at all—and other users can “upvote” it. The twist: Every upvote represents a small amount of steem power. Think of steem power as a representation of influence, because the more you have, the more power your upvote has to move someone else’s post up when you upvote it. Steem power can be converted to steem dollars, which at the moment trade for about $3.25 USD each.
That’s tiny, sure, but more steem is created from more activity on Steemit, and the $300 million market cap of steem is enough to rank it No. 3 among all cryptocurrencies, according to CoinMarketCap, behind only bitcoin and ether, the currency of the Ethereum network.

I dont post about cryptos though, as you know i am mostly about science stuff. I really dont know how relevant that could be to this new idea. I am ready to learn.

Finally, we are getting some moderation in that subreddit. It hurt my eyes every time I looked at the pile of junk people were creating there.
I do a lot of sharing on Reddit, in fact, a couple of my posts are in the top of all time there but people should be aware what content is good for Reddit and what is not. The basic explanation for this would be that Reddit is not Facebook and shitposts will get what they deserve.
I don't have time to help with moderation but I could put up a content guide for people who want to share their work on Reddit. If you need help with that let me know.
Posting too much shitty content could lead to a site-wide domain ban for Steemit and then we are all fucked.

Massive Kudos to you and anybody else putting in the hard yards to increase visibility of our epic community!
I had zero idea that Reddit had such a high AR and will be honest, even though I used to have some amazing discussions ther i thought it had become a little bit...dare I say irrelevant?
I think the biggest, scummiest, greediest market-share platforms have created a "paid for" smokescreen that is designed to make us think that they are at the sharpest end of the idea provoking, opinion shaping culture where social media is concerned.
Don't get me wrong, they have a point but not a particularly valid one although they are ridiculously visible (sickeningly too in the case of FB...Eeew I even feel dirty saying it.) But I see few initiatives there that promote social endeavors and initiatives to help the masses in the way I have seen here!
Let me confess something also, I genuinely don't care what Doris from Basingstoke ate for dinner and Mike from Wisconsin makes me sick showing off his new bling and Ferrari when I know how many people live in abstract poverty on this little blue/green orb we call home!
I am now very interested in using Reddit again and helping to make the masses of our revolution. Thanks for opening my eyes dude I guess even I am susceptible to mass media campaigns and blanket shutdowns of all other avenues of narrative.
If the Reddit community is as I remember fondly, it is one that would make the transition here smoothly and embrace the ideas and aspirations that we have here!
Once I am home again and on my trusty PC (Yeah I'm a dinosaur) I gotta re-engage with Reddit I think I have been missing a trick promoting our blockchain based community.
Oh man! everyday sees me more excited and enthused for the future, anybody else feeling the building lightning bolt's ready to strike change into the heart's of mere mortals?
