RE: My 1st Video About Steem To My 384,177 Youtube subscribers, LMK What You Think?

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Okay, it's great that you're getting the message out. However it's important to set expectations at the right level.

(1) 25% of rewards go to voters not 50%

(2) Newbies with little SP will not make much (if any money) by upvoting

Join and you can earn $20 in SP through one vote, by voting early.

This is virtually impossible for someone who only has $7 worth of STEEM.

I've touched on this in previous posts. It would take months to turn $7 to $20 by voting alone.

There is no need to hard sell Steemit. The proposition is a simple one, your viewers can do what they are currently doing on YouTube (commenting, liking, posting response videos etc), however (unlike YouTube, Twitter, Facebook etc) they get an opportunity to share in the rewards and success of the platform. Also well as rewarding you for providing great content.

They can also earn rewards if they post content that people enjoy and upvote. However the rewards that a low SP holder can get by purely upvoting are so small that it isn't really a selling point.... If they gain more SP then that's a different story.

If your viewers fully engage with the platform, post, vote, comment, contribute... then yes they could reap greater rewards. However just being part of a community that rewards content owners directly and stimulates great conversation should be plenty to encourage people to get on board.

Thanks for the clarification, I was wrong and heard disinfo then. I will make these important updates on the next content I make about steem.

I like it when people are warned: Don't expect to make anything, many posts make a penny. Then add some tips..

@nanzo-scoop, thanks for clarifying the rewards for the curators. Hopefully, your comment gets more upvotes so more people can see the correction. @lukewearechange I'm sure it's a bit of a hassle but if you could update it soon that would be great - I'm sure everyone would prefer not to give out the initial wrong impression and because of it have new people cry foul when they don't get the curator rewards that you mentioned in the video.
