You Found a Great Article About Something Interesting!
It makes sense that when you find interesting information you want to share it with the rest of us here on Steemit. After all, we don't all have time to go read every news article on the internet, and the one you're sharing is super interesting and important.
That's Great!
As a Steemian, I enjoy reading interesting things and I would love to find more of them here on Steemit ...
Let's talk a little bit about how we do that.
Say you found an AMAZING article on CNN...
For example SEC suspends trading of red-hot bitcoin stock
You're really tempted to highlight the whole page and paste it to your feed to earn that prized bit of Steem and SBD for getting a top voted article. DON'T DO IT!
First of all, plagiarism is illegal in most places. Second it's just bad manners. Third, why should we pay you for the work Paul R. La Monica did?
How Should You Share The News?
Start out by relating it to yourself. Steemit isn't just about what you find on the internet, it's about YOU! When you find something interesting that you want to share, tell us why it's interesting.
Go find a couple more sources ...
Seriously, the article's author started out with a paragraph or two from a syndicate source like Reuters Articles on SEC actions related to bitcoin then did some of their own research to find out more about it.
Cite your sources...
Tell us where you got your information in case we want to read more. It's not hard to include a link in your post.
Use pictures from Pixabay or other public domain sites (not the pictures from the article) or take some pictures yourself. Image plagiarism is just as serious as text plagiarism...
If you can't find good related pictures, use a picture of yourself!
Write from the heart...
Show us what's interesting about your topic! When you're interested in it it shows and when your interest shows it makes you more money!
As always, I Steem for my Kids ...
Thanks!
