I'm jumping into this since I'm new and trying to figure the place out. What I'm finding to be a problem here is that people who pay for upvotes are ranking on google for posts that do not deserve to be there.
So if I do not pay or go in chats and ask for votes - my content is not seen, This is very discouraging. Not only do I need to learn steemit - I also need to learn how to game the system.
I'm thinking that if you invested money here - your best bet would be to promote quality content as opposed to content people pay you to promote. This makes steemit more of an authority site and less of a spam site.
I'm not saying I'm right - still trying to figure it out.
75% of new steemit users are here for the cash.
99,9% of new steemit users are here for the cash, let's be honest ;)
I'm on here for the alexa ranking and to get my message out that I've been working on for the last 6 years. I'm sorry that it seems the alexa is actually misleading. I have been wondering how it got so good with "good" posts being ignored, and now I think it is the "pay to play" posts that are getting the attention. It makes me question the effort I'm making but I will still try.

True - I'm still using fb and it does drive traffic and sales for me - not so sure of my steemit results but it has only been 6 weeks.
The thing with steemit is u got to put money into it to make something out of it, most people will only see the $ sign.
This is exactly what I was NOT told when coming here. I thought this was a place to post your content so it will be seen. Now it appears that you need to put money in to make it work as you say. That is not something I am able to do.
Plus I'm not really one to invest in social media platforms as quite a few have failed while I have been on them.
maybe facebook is for you, but we know you wont go back to fb, why because fb dont pay, steem pay a little better than nothing.
