In this video, I talk with @TerryBrock, a marketing coach, journalist and public speaker about the opportunities Steemit provides and how one can master those opportunities and become successful on the platform.
Steemit is the Facebook alternative on the Steem blockchain. A site where individuals can post what they would on Facebook, Twitter or Reddit anyways, but potentially make a decent amount of money if they provide good insight and follow a few steps.
People make money off of the upvote of their posts or comments.
Of course there is also DTube (the YouTube alternative), DLive (for live streaming), DMania (for memes) and so many other fundamentally necessary platforms built on top of the Steem blockchain.
Terry Brock digs into how individuals can make the best of their time on Steemit, catch people's eyes and be successful.
Of course thumbnails are important. Topical tags seen trending on the home page are also important. A great product is important. So instead of writing "I had a sandwich today", write "I had a sandwich today, this is what was on it, this is how it was made, this is where I got it, this is my review" etc.
Steemit provides reputation scores so unlike dealing with trolls on Facebook, people are actually kind to each other in the way they would be in person on Steemit as they actually have incentive to be a decent person which is one of the many great things about Steemit. One of the things that makes Steemit an amazing community.
Let's replace the mainstream media and bring this diverse product to the market for all to enjoy! We need to promote this platform as we're on the ground floor of a historic, decentralized movement.

Yes, there is definitely a strategy to Steemit. What's funny is that it's a very similar strategy to grow your Steemit following as it is for YouTube, and then again, my channel is growing at snail's pace. Whereas on Steemit, not even a year, almost 1K followers, a nice pace that isn't too quick, not too slow, just right for me. Although, I have a theory that YouTube doesn't like niche content. But I will not fall into the trap of talking about gossip and stuff like that. Those who find my channel, stay.
I can definitely attest that the strategy for growing a Steemit following works. Some days I post a lot and make a lot, other times I make more by posting less often. I'm still trying to find the best times to post, but commenting and sharing with others on each other's posts is very important to meeting new people and making new Steemit friends :)

Only the things that sell, work on youtube. Youtube is owned by google and google is a search engine. If you make content that is searched by people then you can easily get successful on youtube.
It took me two years to achieve the same amount of success on youtube , i achieved here on steemit in 2 months. Yes, in that matter steemit is fast.

Yeah, I hear you. I do what is in alignment with me, not what people are necessarily searching for. I know however that there are other people who make videos about theories and analysis about for example Dragon Age and who have lots of subscribers. So there must be a way for me to find those people and bring them to my channel too, those viewers.

Nice Video and very encouraging to minnows as myself.
I do like what Terry Brock has said about providing engaging material. I know that everything that I post does not get noticed. It may have nothing to do with the quality of the material, just that somehow it slipped by.
But not every post that have publish has "slipped by", I have had a little attention and some very nice and encouraging comments. So for these days, when I do get the eyes on my material I want to be sure it is something that is top notch and not just something I just threw out there because I convinced myself it doesn't matter.

Ive watched Terry Brock on youtube before, he defintely has that "tv voice" lol, I like his stuff, this is a great video and I agree that its difficult to talk to people about Steemit who are not into crypto already. I typically get a glazed over look when I try to explain how Steemit works. Hopefully as the interest in crypto grows, people will naturally be attracted to steemit.
I honestly don't know what my focus is yet, I am just trying to learn how to write content so far since I have never done it before...just trying to learn as I go for now :)

Thank you, @emmyem84. You are most kind. I got that "tv voice" by paying a lot of money for it! :-) (just kidding!). Actually I started in radio when I was a junior in high school. Undergrad degree was in radio, TV and media.
Get that focus. It is most important that the world knows you for a speciality in something. Hey, if I can help, give me a shout. You can reach me on that Internet thingy! :-) All the very best to you!

Doing one post a day is very difficult to do. But i am willing to do it. It takes time i know but i would like to try for sure.
I have already set a two years target for myself. Lets see where i will reach in these 2 years. I hope i can make it big and earn a lot of steem soon.
