SteemitWorldMap is a great tool made by @blueorgy and @martibis that allows you to pin your posts to a specific location or browse the world map where ideally every place on the map is a Steemit post. I say ideally because we are lacking a lot of coverage and A lot of the map is empty and waiting for you to make a contribution. Share your best travel story, beach, secret hangout, national park, historical landmark, coffee shop, book store or anything that matters that someone will eventually search for because...
Every well written, correctly tagged post is bringing value to the community as it is a potential for new users from browser searches.
By correctly tagging and using the right keywords in your posts you are increasing your chances of getting views from outsife of Steemit.com (browser searches) and every single one of that views is a potential new Steemian. Why? Because most will be shocked to see $ at the end of your post and will want to find out how you can make money by blogging. And that's how we get new users.
- this is the key for ensuring organic growth and increasing search engine traffic/rankings and you should do everything you can to contribute because in the end it's increasing the value of the STEEM token itself thus increasing your profits
So what are you waiting for? Do something today to add value to the community, help it grow and make some cash in the process.
Share your travel stories in SteemitWorldMap and help the community grow and earn a reward by participating.
NOTE: I will reward every contribution with a partial upvote so there will be no losers in this competition. Take in mind that if you plan to abuse my good will and shitpost just to get an upvote that I'll flag you out of existance so please don't do that.
Just make a post about any place you desire and share it in SteemitWorldMap

Great idea @runicar! I'll make some posts about all the amazing spots I've found during my travels. This will make traveling even better! It sucks big time to find out that you've missed a hidden gem when you've already moved to another country/continent.
Glad that you like it so much. Looking forward to see where you travel. What hidden gem? I actually live in Croatia.
Nice country!! I've been there a couple of times during holidays. What I mean by hidden gem is when I was in northern Sweden for example, some of the locals luckily told us about this one (Abisko National Park):
Hit me up next time you decide to visit :) Sadly I had no opportunities to travel yet as I'm a broke student. This looks truly amazing, I'm looking forward to seeing your travel stories.
Thanks man I will! Not sure when I'm going to be there again though.. I think if you keep Steeming like this you will have some travel funds soon enough :P
That would be great but not yet as for now I'm focusing mainly on acquiring steem as it will be harder and harder to get in the future. 100$ at the end of the year wouldn't be surprising at all.
yes
Heya, I really love to see you taking this incredible initiative to help the map grow! One thing I have noticed is that you're still pointing to the old way of adding posts to the map, sometime back we have added a way easier way to do it (granted we still need to update the auto-comment to reflect that, should be done next week!)
Otherwise, I really love to see this going! And good luck to all participants!
@martibis from the @steemitworldmap team!
Thanks! I love the map and feel like it's a shame we don't have more quality posts on it so I wanted to encourage people to contribute.
Could you link a post that explains the new way of adding it so I can edit mine?
To be fair the number has been going up a fair bit -, you can find what we deem to be the best travelposts underneath filters -> best travel posts only! We are rewarding these posts as well through our daily #traveldigest !
We have only been up for a little over 4 months now if I got it right, so we're doing quite well considering the short time frame I think, haha!
Sure thing: https://steemit.com/steemitworldmap/@steemitworldmap/how-to-add-your-post-to-the-steemit-worldmap-and-other-updates
It can always be better, #travel is filled with awesome posts which would be great additions to the map but I feel like most don't even know of it's existence. You need some promo and I hope this will help eventually :)
Edited, thanks for pointing that out.
I definitely agree, we're still actively developing a lot behind the screens and so the focus from our part isn't on promotion as much at the moment, so it's very cool to see other people helping out with that!
I think our main promotor so far is @choogirl who has helped a lot of quality travel posts find their way onto the map, haha!
Again thanks a lot for helping getting the word out!!!
I know you are, and you shouldn't worry about promotion at all. The community will do it on it's own. That's one of the things I like the most about this platform.
If a project is good and brings value the community will hype it up and spread the word about it as each member will try to add value thus in the end increasing Steem price and the overall value of our platform.
This is my way of doing just that and I picked Steemit World Map because it is a great tool and deserves much more attention than it's currently getting.
Hope the idea catches on and you get a ton of new quality posts to the Map.
Also hoping that my broke student self will eventually be able to make it's own contribution :)
I love to join but I don't know if I can make it to the deadline as this post has been here for 7 days. I was working on a travel blog and I am finalizing today (can't do everything in one go due to work). I also do not see a resteem button anymore. But I will still post my contribution :)
New contest is up and will be running new ones every week so there are no deadlines actually. Because old and new contest are back to back :)
Feel free to join any time. No stress.
So when I make my post 1 of the 5 tags I just use SteemitWorlMap and then add the city as my next tag and it will connect it to the site? Or do I input it myself?

That's the first time i've heard of steemitworldmap and i think it's a great idea,can't wait to go and check it out,thanks for sharing.
Hey! I have added my post to steemitworldmap. thanks for me the comment on my post. I would never have added it and would miss out on a lot. Thank you @runicar
Np, looking forward for more travel stories by you :) Have a great day!
Hello, I have uploaded a new publication, following the steps of my previous publication, @steemitworldma left a comment, however, on the map, the publication is not reflected. Has it happened to you?
Thank you very much!
Could you link the post you are referring to?
The map was updated and my publication appears. Thank you very much
Awesome! Thank you for joining, read and upvoted. The beaches look like paradise :)
Great contribution to the map! Looking forward for your next travel blog.
This is a great idea! It's amazing how much content there already is on this platform. I keep finding new things to look at on almost a daily basis. @steemitworldmap is now another place bookmarked and saved for me to come back to again and again. I will see what I can come up with to put me on the map...so to speak. 😎
It's a good idea.. upvoted and resteemed :) i will try to read a post and share it in @steemitWorldMap
Thanks, looking forward for your contribution!
The rules are difficult, especially the quality of writing because i'm new steemian .. so I'll try so hard to write a good post
I'm sure you will get around it and make a good entry.
Thanx a lot :)
I totally forgot to put my last posts on world map :S .. will do now ;) - Good luck with the challengue! I think its a great initiative.
You can edit it and enter the challenge :) Thanks for the support!
When is the challenge over? Maybe I put my post of tomorrow in it ;)
Great :) Contest ends in a week.
Got it posted :)
@runicar You gave me just the reason to bring all my travel stories to steemit. Is there a limit to the No of entries one can post and hence the reward per user?
As I want us to fill up the map with as much quality content as possible I decided that there will be no limitations for how many entries you can make, so feel free to make 10 if you can :)
Hi @runicar
here is my entry https://steemit.com/swmchallenge/@thetimetravelerz/the-little-girl-at-the-cookie-shop
It is a fab project would like to make many more entries if there is a date extension and more such contests
Would like to share some experiences
The http://www.steemitworldmap.com/ did not work on firefox not atleast for me. Works like a charm on Chrome browser :)
Thought would let you know since you are working so hard on this fab project.
Secondly while pasting the copied code in our post I did 2 things one I simply posted [//]:# (!steemitworldmap 1.262103 lat 103.817899 long Harbourfront Centre Maritime Square Singapore d3scr)
next to the text
the other thing I tried was using the editor & creating a hyperlink
Not sure if this or which is the right way to post.
I have traveled to so many places and have lots of stories from around the world and have lots of stories to tell so would love to be associated long term
Cheers and good luck
Excellent creative idea. Thanks a lot...:)
I strongly agree, every tourist location, bookstore, coffee shop to other places of interest goes to the steemitworldmap. Can reference for Steemian hobby of travelling.
putting steemit on the world map is very important and allowing people who have never heard about it to know , this one initiative i want to be part of
