RE: AskSteem: How much have you earned on Steem this month so far?
The content creators I am associated with in multiple fields make money from the places they post. It is a very hard sell to expect them to "invest" in STEEM in order to get their message out.
They will spend some money to buy tools to help in posting, but the ides of investing in a crypto coin is a big turn-off in my experience. They will go back to Pinterest, fb, or Insty, where they do not have such a hurdle.
Investors and content creators are two different breeds for the most part.
Not in my experience, as those who are looking to monetize are willing to invest their time in, like you said, tools. Steem Power is a tool, and it is how one uses it that can make a significant difference.
They will learn, or miss out.
What categories are the content creators you know posting in, @tarazkp. Mine are mostly authors, artists and coaches with no patience for the intricacies of STEEM. If they are travel or food peeps, they can get into tasteem or travelfeed and do well, but coming in here with your fiction is a sure path to crickets.
The people I know are entrepreneurs that are willing to put in the steps on and off platforms. The intricacies of Steem are nothing in comparison to what it takes to run a business or shop ones talents, skills and wares. I think people who are limiting themselves to online are well, limiting themselves. I do not know any purely online authors who live well off it, but I do know playwrights, poets and authors who use online platforms to enhance their reach. All of them put more than their skill in to get to where they are.
Are these people succeeding on STEEM now?
