RE: My First Steempress Post and New Blog Site!
Wow, good for you. What was the main driver behind wanting to get a blog? Are you planning on advertising there was well, or did you just want to see if you could do it?
No plan to advertise. I'm doing my best to showcase the many uses of steemit. Maybe I will do some talks locally or something; the fact is that the steem based apps are very powerful and not enough people know about them yet.
That's true. People probably don't know that they can post the things on their blogs onto Steemit too and get paid for it. There are a lot of features that a normal blog has regarding subscriptions and such that haven't yet been incorporated into Steemit (post notifications, etc...) but are hugely valuable for people who want to follow. By using some of the apps, you're able to reach new audiences. There will be some overlap between the two, but the more places you have a presence, the more likely you are to get eyeballs that are ready to take the next step.
Yes, and I need to set up an email system too so people can subscribe and I can occasionally reach out when I have a free book or something. A blog allows this.
