Hey dear I am Eh Pothik a simple person. I am working as a content writer. I have joined here about one years ago. I have noticed something that its a wrong platform for content writer.
I think if you have a own site then your content will never lost and You will have an opportunity to make money from your site for a long time. But on steemit there's have single time opportunity. Another big problem is there's have no fixed payment for your content. But there's have many site who will pay you a fix money or payment for your content.
Okay you are earning from steemit. But in many countries this currency is not valid. So its a big factor to use your earnings.
Then another one is a small earnings. Steemit's paying amount is very small . You will earn more when you can invest here.
So I think Which person have money he/she can create a website or blog. Then he/she can publish there and it will help him/her in future.
Last of all I shared my own thinking. You can select anything. But I hope it will be helpful for you.
Thanks
Somagom.
You can create your own blog and use the Steempress plugin to cross-post to the SteemIt Platform. That way, you will stay the owner of your own content, and maybe earn a little bit extra on SteemIt
