RE: CAPTALISM #1: Will Steemit Become a Platform for 100,000 Micro Magazines?
Wow, this is an amazing post. I agree with you, Steemit has enormous potential. I am following you since you wrote your first post, as i had the feeling you are destined for great things on Steemit, and you are nailing it.
Since i joined Steemit, i am so excited everyday to read new interesting articles. I have learned so much, in 30 days of Steemit, i have learned more than reading newspapers in the last 2 years. So Steemit is an incubator of great ideas, stories, people, pictures everything you could imagine.
The one thing facebook or other platforms are missing is the rewarding system. Of course every platform offers you a like button, but thats about it.
Great content has to be rewarded, like your article, which will give you a big payout i would assume (Your article is one of the best written articles i have read this week, how long did you need to write this one? )
So lets grow this baby with @Ned @Dan together and see where the journey will take us. I am so convinced that i powered up again yesterday. I am considering more powerups.
This time, i have the chance to participate truly with all other Steemians.
I used Skype when it only was Chat only, everybody asked me?? Why dont you use ICQ, and i told everybody ICQ is dead. I started using Google in their beta, i hated google from the beginning but i knew they will kill yahoo and Altavista i was using before google...
In 2007 the iphone was released. soon after the SimLock was introduced, the same day i booked a ticket and flew to the US and bought 39 Iphones, started unlocking them on the return flight.
So this time, i am proud to be a front runner, and to shape the future of Steemit with all of you. Has it been a risk to invest Cash into Steemit? maybe, but had i invested in Apple, Google or Skype, i would already be retired, so this time, maybe this time its our turn !!!
Lets go Steemit, lets go fellow Steemians, lets do this !
Thanks knozaki2015. After days of thinking about Steemit I am beginning to believe, that it will become something unique. Let's call it a social magazine or better a social magazine plattform. I'm sure, soon we will see on Steemit some well know authors (fiction and non-fiction), journalists, photographers. Everyone will have his own channel and his own tribe of followers. It's like the cutting out of the former middleman. A good journalist does not need a newspaper. He only needs Steemit for posting his article and Twitter so make it public. The same for authors. They can promote their new projects here, provide previews of there next books on Steemit. The possibilities are huge, if you think in this direction. - And your sooo right: Being an early adopter is awesome.
yes, i totally agree, but its not limited to magazines. everything could be hosted on Steemit.
The beauty is, its not limited to videos, or tweets or pictures. you are able to post anything you want on steemit.
If we can pay authors for their articles, well i am sure they could earn 10x the amount they would earning at an newspaper. lets say an author has something with the magnitude of Snowden etc. than you can be sure that will be huge payout.
You could use Steemit as a whistle blower platform, you could use it for webinars the options are unlimited.
