The experiment
I've been invited to Steemit by @noisy... Actually for the second time, because I forgot my pass to the old account, which was inactive anyway due to my disappointment. But this time I decided to gibe Steemit a proper try and conduct an experiment. I decided to show people in my country if it's possible to earn my country's' minimum wage (around $377 at the moment of writing that post) just by posting here. Just 12.5$ a day. You can read about it here:
I'm currently slightly exceeding that goal so I will do a lot of buzz in our domestic social media abut the result of my experiment.
Well although I won't became a Steemit millionaire, I still think that it can be a fair source of a half-passive income. Mainly because of a payout structure which encourages me rather to hoard more Steem and Steem Power rather than payout or power down. I'd rather use that money when 1 Steem = 10$ or so. At least. I am not going to touch it for a year. Unexpectedly my best post in terms of earnings (over 42$) was written not in English but in... Polish:

It's interesting how content written in other languages can be so popular.
I also started recruiting new people (you would laugh if I told you about same of my methods) but one of new users invited by me is my cousin: https://steemit.com/@adrianwastag
Oh no I missed a day:
Steemit vs traditional social media
In case of websites like Reddit the amount of conetenr creators is relatively low compared to the user base. Most of them are just consumers, sometimes even without accounts. But here is a completely different story because most of us are creators and consumer at the same time but we lack a big crowd which would only be consumer. It makes much harder for new users to get promoted, compared to Reddit where is relatively easier to get onto the main page.
In my opinion you are sentenced to succeed here if you are able to add some vaue to the community.If you are a specialist of any trade or industry and you can share and be a mentor that there is a future for you. Create content and interact with your audience, you will see effects in no time.
Steemit owners should use some of their money to bring us well known journalist, influencers,celebrities etc. who could bring more publicity here. I would like to somehow inform Gary Vee about our little thing here....
