Modern blockchain projects provide new ways of making money. Little by little blockchain economy shapes the new idea of things you can do in order to get paid. For instance one of the late projects brings rewards for discovering new products. It is called Steemhunt.
Introducing Steemhunt
Steemhunt is a Steem blockchain-based decentralized application that might seem to be similar to platforms like Product Hunt. The platform uses Hunt Tokens as a payment, rewards, etc. The active users of Steemhunt get rewards for upvoting, reasonable commenting, and so on. BTW, it's important to know that when you upvote anything on Steemhunt you reward the hunter (you decide how much your upvote costs).
Definitions
It's time to explain who the hunter is. Another way to earn on Steemhunt is being a "hunter". Hunters are discovering new products, platforms, projects, devices and get rewards for sharing that. Everything hunters discover is called "hunts". According to the guidelines, all the hunts should be based on complex (or at least wired or connected) technology in order to be registered on Steemhunt.
Now let's speak about User Score. This rating defines your influence on Steemhunt. This tool helps to fight the abuse of the platform and make quality products more visible. The User Score is the user's Hunt Power Score (Hunt Tokens stake) multiplied by the user's Contribution Score (this number s defined by the user activity on Steemhunt). If you stake many tokens and post a lot, your opinion will have a bigger influence on the platform.
The Relevant Ways of Earning on Steemhunt
Hunts
The hunters can opt to get paid in SDB, Steem, or Hunt Tokens. The hardest thing here is to find a product that hasn't been already hunted and presented on Steemhunt. When the product is found the hunter pastes a product website link (English version only!) to a proper section on Steemhunt. Then the hunter should add at least two pictures of the product, a short description, an original (!) quality review, and then proceed to "Post Now" button. Here's a video-guide on posting hunts.
Upvoting
Upvoting the decent products can bring the user some Hunt Tokens and increase User Score, although upvoting the bad products lead to the decrease of User Score. So it's important to maintain attention to your actions.
Shuffle Button Lottery
This small airdrop is available for every Steemhunt user. It's possible to tap on this "button" every 6 hours and get small rewards.
Twitter Campaign Bounty
Those who simply start following the Steemhunt official Twitter account and fill the special form get a reward for that. Liking and sharing the Steemhunt tweets is also rewarded (in case if you fill the special form).
How To Get Started?
You can start with creating a Steem account on Steemit, Steem.ninja or straightly on the special Steemhunt page (this option is much better if you want to use Steemhunt). When/if you have the Steem account you should proceed to the Steemhunt website and start using the platform.
Cons and Pros
On one hand, sometimes it takes longer to wait for the verification of the hunt. This time gap depends on the moderators and sometimes it takes hours. This and some other flaws can be explained by the fact the Steemhunt is continuing its development and the improvement is not so far away.
On the other hand, Steemhunt has a great user interface + it provides quite a decent service of the tech products reviews. The verification system and User Score help to reduce the number of fake reviews or low-quality content. The fact that all of the useful activity is rewarded only fuels the users.
