Let's Make It Happen",<br>"body":"<html>\n<p><strong>Currency? Social Media? Which is it? If it is both you\/we need to put a little more focus on the Social Media side and why people are attracted to it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Being still fairly new here,<br> I have been reading the questions,<br> comments and blogs of many members,<br> focusing of course on those regarding SteemIt,<br> as I am learning what this site is all about. If I am not here hoping to earn some Steem and hoping that Steem has value at some point,<br> I am probably long gone. <\/p>\n<p>Why would I choose to blog on a site with little functionality for those who love to blog. Why write where it take me 3 to 4 steps to upload my graphics? Why try to connect with people on a platform that has nearly zero features for making connections?<\/p>\n<p><br>\nI have read articles on how to write good articles,<br> how to get noticed and how to earn. Yet,<br> I find a lot of the advice is not in line with what trends and what earns,<br> so it seems disingenuous.<\/p>\n<p>What made Social Media a hit? You can find people to connect with on several levels. Friends,<br> Family,<br> people who live in your city,<br> people who like to debate a specific topic,<br> own chickens,<br> race cars etc. So,<br> you aren't just roaming through random content,<br> you are reading and reacting to those with whom you have a connection. There is no focus on excellent writing on FB,<br> Twitter or any other successful Social Media platform. In fact,<br> all the discussion of excellent articles and writing is actually intimidating and will run casual users away.<br>\nEncourage people to post what they would on Facebook,<br> little updates,<br> family pictures. Give people a way to communicate with others in a casual way like Twitter. There are a limited number of Authors out there. Although you may want to attract them,<br> you do not want to run off the casual user. Encourage people to write and to write often. Give people groups,<br> categories,<br> pages and ways to connect. If the users come the content will follow! Maybe allow people to like a comment with or without voting for it. <br>\nIf you are trying to build a social media platform and not just a currency people need to be able to vote more often,<br> post more often and gather information that is interesting to them.<br>\n<\/p>\n<p>To be a part of making this happen. Go comment,<br> follow and get to know your fellow Steemers. I have begun to have a great little group of people I follow and enjoy. As we are all slowly growing there is hope,<br> interest and willingness to be part of reaching SteemIt's potential.<br>\n<br>\n<br>\nFollow,<br> upvote... Or not,<br> it is a Free,<br> errr,<br> decentralized block chain,<br> platform,<br> thingy. <\/p>\n<p>Bad Art by @whatsup,<br> and parts of this article have been used in a previous post here on SteemIt.<br>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/s21.postimg.org\/5ukb31us7\/beach_6917009_1280.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"647\"\/><\/p>\n<\/html>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"steemit\",<br>\"ideas\",<br>\"currency\",<br>\"socialmedia\",<br>\"whales\" ,<br>\"users\":[\"whatsup\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"http:\/\/s21.postimg.org\/5ukb31us7\/beach_6917009_1280.jpg\" " | | vote | "voter":"whatsup",
