“Steemit has redefined social media by building a living, breathing, and growing social economy – a community where users are rewarded for sharing their voice. It’s a new kind of attention economy.”
I’ve heard about the Steeemit around December 2017 while doing research about blockchain. I’ve known about cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for while and didn’t really get into it until skyrocketed to $20,000 per Bitcoin around the same time. I was also looking for new ways to gain more audience to my Photography and Travel Blog so I joined.
After six months of Travel Blogging on the platform, I've learned a lot. I've had many highs and many lows. Here, I will share with you non-biased and honest review of the social media platform with the hopes that you judge for yourself if it's worth your time.

How do I make money using steemit?
Steemit also allows its users to promote their posts to reach a larger audience. Steemit has its own built-in way to promote each post. This is not unlike other decentralized platforms such as Minds, which also allows users to boost posts this way as well. Think of it like a Facebook Ad, your essentially paying for people to see your content, hoping that will convert to sales for your business, or in this case, upvotes and earning potential for your post.
