I wish I could up vote this 1000 times! There is such a huge opportunity here for people with talent to create a following or those who already have a following. Even if a youtuber only has 1000 faithful followers, can you imagine if they brought them all here? If all they got were 1000 votes from their established followers every day, they would bank! Plus then established people already on steemit would jump in too and increase the rewards exponentially.

For sure, we only need a handful to come over and then a tsunami of content creators would arrive. I was talking to my friend @LanySullivan about this the other day. We met her on GPlus about 3 years ago and she just came to visit. We were talking about the good old days on GPlus and why the influencers on other platforms have not come to Steemit yet. We came to the conclusion that they are guilty of herd mentality. They need to have one of their gurus or influencer overlords tell them to come use Steemit. Maybe we need to get @LordVader involved. He has the power of persuasion.

As you know it takes work and time to create content. If you want to take quality photo's then there is also money involved. We are still creating new content, and sharing older content here but with the last three months of nonsense it has become apparent to us that Content creators are not one of the top priorities.

this is such an awesome post, too much truth in this, I hope people would start using Steemit more and more everyday... I'll continue enjoying this platform for a long time!

Well said Randy! So many people could benefit from dropping in to check what Steemit is all about and realize it's kicking the behinds of the corporate social overlord networks.

So true! Thanks for sharing.

I've been preaching this... now I have tokens to back my words up... bottom line, the incentives have to be greater then the complexity of steemit

I love the positivity of this post! I never thought I'd become a person that could create content. But I just started here in July 2016 and now I'm still here posting and having a blast. It's fantastic. There is so much room here for the creation of so much different content it truly can blow your mind when you start thinking about it. Great post man, made my day!

Everyone just keeps complaining instead of creating solutions. I propose the community gets together and funds a way to decentralize the internet. I dont think its software at this point, i think its hardware. I think we should see about creating something like the gotenna mesh ( https://www.gotenna.com/pages/mesh ) but an in home router that would effectively decentralize the internet. This would allow for more decentralized platforms to thrive. Im not sure yet how this could be used to circumvent youtube except for decentralized video sharing, but i think it could be a huge leap forward to destroy censorship just like steem and blockchains. We as a community need to stop complaining and create a solution.

Ira Miller of Gitguild is working on some pretty epic stuff. He told me that he has been in the dungeon for months coding and working with his Dev team. He says it is totally possible.

Great post. Steemit is a really great opportunity for online content creators. I like how there is something in it for everyone, and even someone like me who isn't particularly interested in marketing, per se, can still enjoy some rewards. You don't have to worry about censorship or centralization, just a hard fork every now and then :)

Even then the Hardforks are bearable. I am sure there will be big changes coming but I will adapt.

Thank you for an encouraging article. As someone who is just now getting into Blogging and content creation, this makes me glad that I am on this platform..

You seem to have missed the beginning of that transmission.

As an active YouTuber, I am using the stage to share the merits of Steemit. You may have heard the other day YouTube totally changed their monetization program. Now you need 10000 views on your channel before you can start to monetize. I did a video sharing Steemit with the folks on YT. I posted about it here
Enjoy your weekend

Hi Randy, well said. I tried already systems like TSU and similar during the last years.

It seems SteemIt is something different. Like to learn from you to start with the right steps, as I'm here only since a few days.
