What Is Minds?
Minds is open source and decentralized social networking platform where users are rewarded with Minds tokens for contributions to the community. The Minds token is a social networking utility built upon the Ethereum ERC-20 standard.

In short, Minds is another social platform where you get paid for your contributions and your engagement in the community.
It's true, Minds is only one of many new platforms where you get paid in crypto (You'll find a short list below), but so far I find it fairly easy-to-use and straightforward, although I haven't figured it out completely yet.
Why Would You Join Minds?
The answer to that question is pretty simple.
In the first place, you can earn free crypto by using the site, which is good enough as it is, of course.
But there's more...
it's an excellent place to promote SteemIt as a platform ánd drive more traffic to your own SteemIt articles.
Since you can simply share a link to your article, you don't need to worry about being punished for posting duplicate content.
Below, you see an example of a post I made on Minds, using just the link to my SteemIt post:

Everybody who clicks the image or link is redirected to my article on SteemIt.
And the best part is, it took me about 1 minute to create the post.
Time Consuming?
I'm not going to lie to you. It is true that the more time you spend on Minds, the more you will earn. But so far I have limited my visits to 5 to 10 minutes a day, mainly because I'm simply reposting links to my SteemIt articles.
So yu can make it as time consuming as you really want. It all depends on how much you want to earn. I simply see it as a way to get more eyes on my SteemIt posts and maybe recruite new SteemIt members.
We Can Help Each Other
I know a lot of you already have an account on Minds. It's just not always easy to find you.
That's why I started the group 'SteemIt Friends'.

The idea behind the group is that we can find each other in the long list of Minds members, and give each other a follow, maybe like each other's articles and so help each other earn tokens.
Here's How To Join The Group:
If you don't have a Minds account yet, you can create one HERE. If you need help with setting up your profile and your wallet, this video will walk you through it.
Once you've created your Minds account, follow the steps below:
Log into your minds account, simply click here to join the group and post your SteemIt and Minds profile link in the group for everyone else to follow.
Now, connected to the group is another group where you can post your best SteemIt articles for the other 'SteemIt Friends' to see and like. To receive an invitation to that group you need to take the following steps:
FOLLOW ME at https://www.minds.com/simplymikeonminds
Join the 'SteemIt Friends' group.
Leave both your Minds username and a link to your SteemIt profile in that group and I'll send you an invitation.
Of course, to get the best results, you need to post links to your SteemIt posts all around Minds.
More Incentivized Networks To Join
These days, there are loads of social networks who reward you for your actions.
I can't list them all, or this post would be way too long. You can find an extended list in this post by @stellabelle:
A List of Steemit Competitors

Feel free to follow me on these networks too. Leave a message with your SteemIt profile link, and there is a good chance that I'll follow you back.
