Being a Blogger and Steemer are different breeds of writing online.

https://s11.postimg.org/zedswcnv7/5db33d3e362be3eec881d1dff2d0c977.jpg I was chatting with someone recently about signing up to Steemit and I was saying blogger meaning someone who blogs but I wasn’t referencing us Steemers. # We are different. https://s15.postimg.org/y3le7yjgr/2016-04-05-1459888488-1105248-5_Easy_Stepsto_Start_G.gif Neither path is all that easy, it takes time and effort to make a buck doing anything in this life. Some have knack for things we don’t and vice versa. But **Steeming and Blogging** have similar goals and objectives to share ideas, thoughts, opinions and of course our life adventures all smothered with shameless selfies and top notch photography. https://s18.postimg.org/ne2dqzxi1/2013-12-19-_Blog-_Ideas.jpg ## A true Steemer never stops Steeming. **Many people have come and gone with dreams of riches and fame only to get a cold hard kick in the ass of reality.** Steemit is not a blog where you can come and post stupid stuff you find off the internet and use lazy click bait tactics to make a few pennies like you would on Twitter or other blogging sites. https://s4.postimg.org/5c1wubwd9/bracia-przy-kawie-7-pytan-cel-zycia-ludzie-2048x.jpg The only way to make money posting articles on Steemit is to actually put some effort into your work. And then **you gotta keep at it.** You have to really **be a part of the community to make money here**. Posting and running will not get you the best returns. ## Bloggers Pay to Blog Most bloggers are paying to host their articles on a website. Then they need people to click on the advertising on their site. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a3/cc/20/a3cc206d43aeea06cd59c8f0bc7c2e80--tattoo-prices-money-tattoo.jpg **They need to sell something tangible to make money from their ideas.** **Steemit you’re only selling ideas for votes.** You never need to pay to make money by posting. If you do invest in Steemit you can make more money by voting and curating. Blogging you’re just paying for more services that may or may not pay off. https://s16.postimg.org/arad9ew4l/Bt_KDe_GEIYAAv_Wf_M.png ## Steemit is Uncensored I know this is arguable to those who have been silenced. **Being uncensored doesn’t mean you can’t be shut up and chased off.** http://1.images.southparkstudios.com/blogs/southparkstudios.com/files/2016/12/2010-blog-uncensored.jpg?quality=0.8 Once something is on the Steemit Blockchain it is there forever, accessible and readable, even your old edited posts can be viewed in their original content. **That’s uncensorable.** Blogs like Wix, facebook and twitter all have the ability to legally alter your work without notice. ## Steemit is NEXT GENERATION folks. This is the future of blogging. This is people society, civilization taking back control of the media, taking back control of sharing information on our terms. You don’t have to like or agree with said info but it’s there to be seen and debated. Blogs are a waste of money now that Steemit is here and not going anywhere. https://www.avaya.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/blog-next-generation-really-look-like-840x420.jpg **Steemit keeps evolving.** ## Guaranteed Income for Steemit Investors. With Steemit you don’t have to pay but if you did invest and started voting you will without a doubt make money with every click of a vote you do. https://www.comparemyrates.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/web-savings-0420-620x198.jpg BUT get this. **You don’t have to invest and you can just write articles.** The more people that vote for your content you make Steem Power, after time and effort your votes will become more valuable. **You invested time rather than money. Fair deal!** ## And best of all you can support your favourite authors and work by voting for them or it and not be suckered into reading about products you probably didn’t need. https://flynngray.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/img_2817.jpg You can however buy things direct from the author and make Steemit even stronger and greater. **What other differences do you see? Am I way off or spot on?** https://s23.postimg.org/aad171iob/b1603df1010fedc3188fcbc18942fcce.jpg **Image Sources** https://www.pinterest.com/pin/338966309429827304/ http://blog.touchcoreltd.com/author/godswill/page/2/ hand with light ball http://trulsespedal.deviantart.com/art/The-Light-IV-360172561 http://www.braciaprzykawie.pl/
