Hello my fellow UK Bloggers and Influencers and welcome to Steemit.
Some of you might be wondering what Steemit is and why I am inviting you to join myself and 500,000 other Steemians (our collective name).
Well, it is simple.
Steemit is an exciting social media platform based on blockchain technology and before you ask what that is, think about Bitcoin, but with an actual real life use (but don't worry, you do not need to know much about cryptocurrencies and I can help you). This fantastic Steemit for Dummies video from @just2random is a great introduction.
The premise is simple.
You register your free account (it can take a few days for verification) and you start blogging.....and EARNING.
Not a lot at first, as you have to grow followers, discover and engage with other creators and become a part of the community.
However, as you gain followers and a reputation, you will be able to gain SteamDollars that can be converted to normal currency (currently at a rate of $8.50 USD) , while you will also earn Steam Power (one of three Steem currencies)that will enable you to reward others.
The post above earned me $500 USD (which I then bought more crypto coins with!!) and helped to increase my Steem Power to 0.06 Steem per vote. I aim for about 20 upvotes each day (any more than this and your "power" and curation rewards reduce) and this "curation" can also increase my earnings, so it pays to be nice and to support your peers.
And that is another reason why I am inviting you to join me, here in Steemit.
To succeed in Steemit, like anywhere else, you have to be creative, consistent and supportive. The more people that follow you and vote for you, the more likely it will be for your posts to trend and attract the votes of others.
There are many communities on Steemit and I think that it would be brilliant to replicate the amazing UK Blogging communities that we have on other platforms, here on Steemit.
We could create pods, special UK tags and guide each other across the Steemit landscape.
By supporting each other and creating new content, we can reach new audiences AND increase our incomes.
So, please feel free to ask me any questions about my 3 months on Steemit and sign up today
