Let me ask you something , if u put in over 200k into steemit and the one that dont put anything in, how do u fell?

Two types of investors, thanks for investing your money, and thanks to the content producers for all the words :)

I wouldnt feel anything. People have different means of contributing to a community. Some people are content creators while others are funders. I am more in the middle, I like to help with my funds and also my words. Comments, curation, upvoting and a combination of all is the way I want to do it. I am just trying to figure out steemit. Only been on here a week so still learning

the saying is you either got money or u got time.

sayings are meant to be broken. Help out how you can. Especially when it doesnt cost you anything

It doenst cost me anything? Are u kidding? do u know how money work?

As for as I know, an upvote costs you nothng but a click

lol, i dont see u put 200k in and click it yourself. Oh yea maybe u dont have 200k,
if you want to be well off do what the well off guy are doing, if u want to be where you are keep doing what u are doing.

That's wrong, an Upvote would generate new Steems on the fly which would dilute the pool of Steems and decrease the overall value for all the investors. Of course it cost something.

yes, you said it right. But somehow, some dont have any.

Almost everybody start at the bottom.

whao, i am proud that you can say that. Most people wont say such. Thankful you are not where you used to be. Hardwork must have paid off.

I disagree with your view , if I buy a vote from him he gets no rewards from the reward pool it takes it from me. Then that vote gives me more steempower and then when I vote other people if also gives them more steempower because I have more.

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.
