RE: Steemit in Rolling Stone Magazine: Looking for Success Stories

in #steemit8 years ago

What a very cool opportunity to get Steemit into the mainstream.
I'm not doing anything extraordinary, just a regular person excited about an opportunity and building a solid foundation with positivity. :)

Sort:  

I worry about it becoming mainstream too quickly filled with idiots just trying to make money but the best stuff should float to the top either way I hope, I find a lot of junky looking posts, I just wish everyone would post like each post mattered to them like I do or I don't post anything, but thats just me lol

I hear you @vapecat - I scroll through the New tab every day looking for quality material and...well... I keep scrolling through a lot of junk. Then again, "junk" is pretty subjective isn't it? Heck, I put effort into my posts and to some, it may in fact be junk. LOL But here's my take on it - only the adventurous are going to sign on. I've been very active for 3 months and doing my best to bring friends and family onto the platform...and like lemmings, they continue to waste their time, energy and talent on Facebook and Pinterest (and others). Well - it's their loss as far as I'm concerned. I'm just going to keep doing what I love and maybe one day it will pay off. :)

I noticed that. When people come on and don't get "rewarded" right away, they disappear. So one challenge for the platform is (and maybe there's a good post somewhere on this): Getting people to come to Steemit for Steemit and the community itself, so that whatever Steem they may or may not make is just a bonus.

@neilstrauss, you may actually enjoy the blog post about my 90 days on steemit. I've got a good bit about expectations.

Agreed, it's exciting, and also to see so many people here like @vapecat below spreading the word-of-mouth. "A solid foundation of positivity" is exactly the heart and core that Steemit needs, and so much other social media lacks. Thanks for contributing to that.
