Just curious is anyone is successfully replacing their main blog/website with Steemit? To me, this is one of the most exciting aspects of this platform! If a person has a main site, why not make Steemit the very first stop for any original content? Then after posting on Steemit you can put it on the page and hit all the social media accounts for the page.
I was on the verge of setting up my own finance blog, but now I'm wondering if I should even consider doing that when I can make so much more by directing me energy into Steemit rather than a brand new page, building it from scratch. Using Steemit takes out so much of that initial work at setting up a new page, it's much more efficient for getting started right away.
The future is VERY exciting for Steemit, and the potential is almost unlimited.
I was debating the exact same thing. I have decided to stick with Steemit and my writing for Seeking Alpha. I'll occasionally link back to my writings at SA, but I will blog original content on this platform. That is my plan for the time being anyway.

That's cool, I write for SA as well! Have you have good luck promoting your SA stuff here on Steemit? Are we even allowed to do that?

Now THAT is a very interesting idea.
I'm a SciFi author and I've been considering re-tooling my old Blog at BlogSpot.
Steemit might be a much better idea. I'll have to think on it, sit back and watch.
by the way. if any one is interested in SciFi stop by and see me some time.

For a writer like you, a popular enough Steemit account could probably out-earn self-published kindle ebooks on amazon! Could be pretty disruptive in that way.

Good plan. I shall attempt to do so while CAREFULLY navigating the mine field of flags.

I continue to post on my website but not as often. I first posted on steemit than after it paid out I posted on my website to dodge cheetah not. BUT now I don't repost on either site. I just add links from steemit to my site and vice versa.
Making my website the landing page for my social marketing of steemit is something I'm experimenting with still.

My site isn't much but I like owning the domain .

I had just started setting up my website when I discovered Steemit. I'm rethinking what I will use that website for, now. If I just copy my content from my Steemit posts, then the SEO systems will think my website is posting duplicate content and they will downgrade it -- in favor of my Steemit blog because the Steemit folks have done something to really get our posts to be high-ranking in Google searches.
So I'm still thinking about how I will use my website now. I may use it more for transaction-based activity (downloading a book or bonus image files, getting on an email list) rather than information-based activity (reading my posts).

how do you add a picture?

Simply find the image you want from another site, right click and go to "copy image location" and then past that link into your post and it will show up. I'm still not sure how to upload image files yet, though.

You have to upload image files to a separate image hosting service. You can use Steemimg.com, flickr, Amazon's service, whatever it is that Google has these days. That service will provide you with the link to include in any post. I think you are supposed to give the source for whatever images you use that aren't yours, as well.
