RE: Freewrite: What Constitutes Effort on STEEM?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Is performing quests on holy bread and kicking ass on splinterlands "high effort?" IDK but those games put more money in my STEEM accounts than my blogging does.
My posts take me an hour tops to type out, including editing, uploading and finding pictures on pixabay. Sometimes they get written even faster.
But... I spent a LOT of time perfecting my writing craft, I read lots of books, and I took lots of typing classes to get my thoughts out faster. Shouldn't I be making $300 bucks per post? That's how much I make when I freelance and write for companies.
Then go freelance. LOL

I'm guessing most of your statements are rhetorical, but I will respond anyhow.
It has little to do with how much you could potentially make outside of STEEM, and everything to do with how much the reward pool can sustain on STEEM as a platform. If you scale up the STEEM price, I would expect the potential reward in dollar amount to scale up as well. As far as the reward pool covering your sunk costs, the potential is there, but the expectation shouldn't be.
As far as using STEEM as a medium of exchange for trading game items, if you can make more money doing that, more power to you. I buy and sell Splinterlands cards using steem all the time.

@metzli In my opinion all that you mentioned are high effort. I play splinterland too and I enjoy gaming in general.
However the question you ask is how you monetize it. It’s a valid question. To monetize anything you need a consumer. If your gaming content can earn $300 just like your freelance work, more power to you. But it is up to you to scale your time and effort accordingly. Right now there is no content out there in steemit that can pay $300 for an hour for your effort. So I am sorry to tell you that at this point in time this platform is unable to sustain your requirements.
I believe in the blockchain. At this moment, I feel wealthy, but am not feeling wealthy enough to invest in my future (traditionally speaking, using fiat) my steem blockchain efforts are for me to reap the rewards of in 10 - 20 years. Let's hope I am right in investing my time here.
