Really interesting. As someone who had published in good old paper formats, blogging was a tough nut to crack: it seemed wrong for serious stuff I'd want to see between covers, and I could rarely muster the commitment to stick at my various WordPress experiments.
The people who seemed to make blogging work were those who stuck to a well-defined - and maybe time-constrained - subject or theme: an event in their life, a journey, a craft or hobby.
I'm new to Steemit, but there seems to be scope to publish/broadcast on an occasional basis to a community who'll recognise you (like your Facebook friends) but who won't necessarily expect hourly updates (thanks God for that!)
Be interesting to see how we all evolve here...
You're right, Martin. Steemit is a unique community of authors who all have a unified goal of helping Steemit be successful while pursuing their own creative outlets. We're still in infancy and right now is the perfect time to test the waters and post different topics. I do think as we expand it will become more important to niche your ideas.... especially once we are able to launch our own products. Welcome to Steemit!
