But at the same time writing something that is a 'hot topic' can bring in more views. People like new but these also want something they can keep coming back to. It is a difficult balancing act. Do you want something that will last long enough that it will come up in search results for the future? Or do you want something that will drive heavy traffic for a short period of time? And is it possible to do both? </p>\n<p>The Power Of Timeless </p>\n<p>It seems like a funny idea having something timeless on the internet. One of the things the net does best is the constant uploading of new, exciting and current information. But some posts, mostly how-to guides, can be shared and discussed for years to come. This is a matter of what you are writing about. Techniques that are proven to work, even if new techniques come out, are timeless. Ideas can be timeless. You are timeless. There is only one you and stories about your life that are positive and inspiring, regardless of the era that they happened in, can always be shared. And the internet is not always as fast as people think it is. As quickly as the search engine can archive something, it still takes time to be seen. Even if the post is worth sharing, it will still need to be found by someone, they in turn have to read it and then share it, the people on their network have to see it and read it and share it and so on and so forth. Unless you have a forum with an established reader list, your blog will take time to get out there. Blogs get archived. And no one is going to care about the 2016 election when 2017 rolls around Slow and steady can win the race, but it also can be at a disadvantage in the faster paced world of the internet. </p>\n<p>The Power Of The Trend </p>\n<p>The way the system is set up now, I cannot deny the power of the trend. If you mention Hillary or Trump in my article title there is a better chance that people will click it. People are searching for things that are current. Even in their own field of interest, people want to know what is new. Techniques and technological advancements are present in every field. That doesn't take away what has worked but when you are looking for viewers, a lot of them want new. Plus when you write about something current, it is being talked about. You can be apart of the conversation and gain momentum from other posts on the same subject. But trend is short lived. This means quality is going to pay a price. And if your post doesn't go viral soon, it will sit on your hard drive with little reuse factor in the future. </p>\n<p>Combining The Two </p>\n<p>Of course the best thing is to write an article that is both. But as the two can be at opposite ends, it may be difficult to achieve this. One stragety is to use a trending topic to introduce a more timeless idea or talk about a timeless idea with trending examples. For example, the examples I'm using in this blog about the the current election. This post has timeless elements to it, it should be useful as long as blogging and article writing are a part of the internet. But using examples of the current election in my title and in the post give it a relenvce factor. It makes the idea come to life and attracts users to the idea. Don't abuse that. It is easy to just staple a popular topic to a post to bring in views but that will angry and push away a lot of your readers. Think of a relevent topic that is a useful example or match for your ideas and if you pair the two properly, you can get the views for the post while keeping the article from fading quickly. </p>\n<p>Thanks for reading, check out my other post about cryptocurrnecy which is sitting at over $100 atm.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://steemit.com/money/@funny/why-are-bitcoin-steem-and-other-cryptocoins-worth-real-money\">https://steemit.com/money/@funny/why-are-bitcoin-steem-and-other-cryptocoins-worth-real-money</a></p>\n<p>This is @funny, please upvote, follow and promote \")</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Because we, as a society, say it is. No really, I'm not being a smart ass. Okay the market is a little more complicated than that and the creation of a cryptocurrency is definitely more complicated than that. But when it comes down to it, steem, and other cryptocurrencys like bitcoin have value because we, as a society, have agreed that it is valauble. And the more people are willing to pay for it, and the less of it there is, the more it is worth. </p>\n<p>But can I buy food with it? Directly no. Not now at least. That may change if vendors decided they would accept steem as payment. But for now, steem cannot be used directly. But it can be exchanged for bitcoin which can be exchange for cash. There are websites that buy bitcoin for real currency and if steem really takes off we might see vendors who will deal with it directly for cash in the future. </p>\n<p> So steem and bitcoin by themselves are worthless then? Not exactly. They do have value. From what I know, the transparency and permancy of the blockchain gives security to the currency. It is also easy to send and recieve, saving a lot of costs in the long run for companies and people who choose to deal in it. And steem does have a secondary function. If you are a company or a celebrity, steem yields you influence. Having your stuff seen over somebody else's is a big market on the internet. Look how much the advertising companeis bring in. So, in theory, if you were looking for a platform where you wanted your message to be heard and you didn't have time to build up a network, a large financial investment could guarantee that your posts get seen as long as the viewers are there. </p>\n<p>So let's all get rich on nothing then? Not that simple. And also very dangerous. This is why cryptocurrency cannot stand on it's one without a fiat currency. Steem didn't just have value because it was mined and now people want it so it's value is rising. Steemit had a $20 million dollar investment of real money that gave the steem value. When the steem was created it was paired with a real world value, so that the steem was already worth the equivilant of something in the real world (in this case USD). Then they gave a percentage out to the people who would in turn us it and want more it, increasing its value. </p>\n<p>I like to think of cryptocurrency as a diamond and maybe just because the mining metaphor works so well as does the 'diamonds are forever' saying. Diamonds in themselves are fairly useless. They do have some functions if you cut them properly and they are shiny (so shiny). But like cryptocurrency, you can't eat it, wear it or accomplish anything with it. Yet if someone asked if you wanted a sandwhich or a large diamond, you would take the diamond (unless you were literally about to starve to death). Cryptopcurrency works the same way. Each steem or bitcoin can be seen as a coin that is worth a lot more in value then it is in actual worth. And why is it worth that value, because, like a diamond, someone might be willing to pay you cash money to own it. But keep in mind there a lot of cryptocurrencies out there, and prices fluctuate, so be careful with any of your investments.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s10.postimg.org/z5x69j8vt/diamond_635332_640.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"412\"/></p>\n</html>",

But at the same time writing something that is a 'hot topic' can bring in more views. People like new but these also want something they can keep coming back to. It is a difficult balancing act. Do you want something that will last long enough that it will come up in search results for the future? Or do you want something that will drive heavy traffic for a short period of time? And is it possible to do both? </p>\n<p>The Power Of Timeless </p>\n<p>It seems like a funny idea having something timeless on the internet. One of the things the net does best is the constant uploading of new, exciting and current information. But some posts, mostly how-to guides, can be shared and discussed for years to come. This is a matter of what you are writing about. Techniques that are proven to work, even if new techniques come out, are timeless. Ideas can be timeless. You are timeless. There is only one you and stories about your life that are positive and inspiring, regardless of the era that they happened in, can always be shared. And the internet is not always as fast as people think it is. As quickly as the search engine can archive something, it still takes time to be seen. Even if the post is worth sharing, it will still need to be found by someone, they in turn have to read it and then share it, the people on their network have to see it and read it and share it and so on and so forth. Unless you have a forum with an established reader list, your blog will take time to get out there. Blogs get archived. And no one is going to care about the 2016 election when 2017 rolls around Slow and steady can win the race, but it also can be at a disadvantage in the faster paced world of the internet. </p>\n<p>The Power Of The Trend </p>\n<p>The way the system is set up now, I cannot deny the power of the trend. If you mention Hillary or Trump in my article title there is a better chance that people will click it. People are searching for things that are current. Even in their own field of interest, people want to know what is new. Techniques and technological advancements are present in every field. That doesn't take away what has worked but when you are looking for viewers, a lot of them want new. Plus when you write about something current, it is being talked about. You can be apart of the conversation and gain momentum from other posts on the same subject. But trend is short lived. This means quality is going to pay a price. And if your post doesn't go viral soon, it will sit on your hard drive with little reuse factor in the future. </p>\n<p>Combining The Two </p>\n<p>Of course the best thing is to write an article that is both. But as the two can be at opposite ends, it may be difficult to achieve this. One stragety is to use a trending topic to introduce a more timeless idea or talk about a timeless idea with trending examples. For example, the examples I'm using in this blog about the the current election. This post has timeless elements to it, it should be useful as long as blogging and article writing are a part of the internet. But using examples of the current election in my title and in the post give it a relenvce factor. It makes the idea come to life and attracts users to the idea. Don't abuse that. It is easy to just staple a popular topic to a post to bring in views but that will angry and push away a lot of your readers. Think of a relevent topic that is a useful example or match for your ideas and if you pair the two properly, you can get the views for the post while keeping the article from fading quickly. </p>\n<p>This is @funny, please upvote, follow an promote \") </p>\n</html>",

That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. But the same things were said when you were a nerd. It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool if you are not one. Things and people change. So @funny is announcing that internet dating is no longer something to scoff at. Why do I say this? Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. </p>\n<p>You Mean You Have A Personality </p>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. I'm not going to argue how important looks are, or are are not, in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. It may not be a lot but it is something. </p>\n<p>Get To Know The Person First </p>\n<p>So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. That is great, but what did you really learn about the person. I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. </p>\n<p>Less Pressure </p>\n<p>It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. </p>\n<p> I Don't Have The Time To Meet People </p>\n<p>That isn't just an excuse. People are busy and dating takes time. Meeting people even takes time. When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. Plus it gets expensive. There are cover charges, costs of transport, drinks. And if you do meet someone you can only get to know them so much in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. </p>\n<p>I'm Shy </p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with being shy. Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. Who cares. You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. And maybe you are a bit \"weird\" by some people's standards. Again, who cares. Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being socially awkward. But if you are, so what, good for you. We all have our quirks. </p>\n<p>Now I know there are negatives. There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. It is not perfect. And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so.</p>\n</html>",

They do not want to be there nor do they want to call you about whatever it is they are calling you about. So when somone calls you at a time when you are a busy and you make it clear to them, that you, have no desire to be on the phone with them, I assure you, that they, probably have no desire to be on the phone with you. They are not even the ones who dial the phone number to call you, it is literally a machine that dials your number and then your name pops up on the screen in front of them. They might be allowed some leeway to what they say to you but basically it is a hi and before they talk about whatever it is they are supposed to sell you. A lot of these employees do not even work for the company of the product they are trying to pitch. Call centres are owned by third parties who make calls on behalf of other companies. The person on the phone probably does not have stocks or interest in the company. They probably do not even get paid well to call you and bug you about whatever it is the company wants to bug you about. So when the poor bastard calls you, even if it is at the worse possible time, try to be nice to them. </p>\n<p>The place I worked was above a mall. You would not even know it was there unless you had to visit it. The space was fairly large, an open area that was littered with rows and rows of desks. On each desk was a computer and a headset. You would sit at the desk, put the headset on, click that you are ready to go and the calls would start. A screen would pop up with the name of the person you are suppose to talk with and then you would go into your spiel of what you were trying to sell. When the person said no (as was the large majority of your calls) you would need to click a reason of why they said no before letting the call go before moving on to the next one. The time you waited in between was called downtime. This didn't last, it was ususally a few seconds before the next call came on. You don't even decide to take the call, as long as you are on the clock the calls keep coming. There is an option to pause it, but when you do a clock comes up that counts the time you are on break. Oh and when you are finished with a call and need to pick a reason you didn't get the sale, you are timed for that too. So that way you cannot hide in the menus between calls. </p>\n<p>Every once in awhile someone would say yes. In order for the sale to go through it needs to be a clear YES on the phone (the calls are recorded). If it is not a clear yes, then you need to verify the positive affirmation again to make sure. Then comes the verbatim terms of the product. It was literally two pages long of terms and conditions that you had to read to the client word for word. If you messed up on any of it, then the quality team who listens to the sale could deny it. A lot of the times it is difficult to keep the person on the phone as you bore them with the terms, so you need to talk fast. To motivate you there is a team leader. Every dozen or so computers are sectioned off into a team. In front of each team is a whiteboard. This board has everybody's name on it and a space beside it where the team leader would write down how many sales you were getting. It could be pretty daunting to see how badly you are doing on the board in front of you. You are told that you are required to get so many sales an hour (it was usally 1-point-something, a number that was not easy to get) and they would check up on you if you are having trouble getting sales. </p>\n<p>The saddest part of working there is how much no one wants to be there. You will probably never find a man or a woman who is there because that is the job they wanted. No one growing up says I want to be a telemarketer. There are people who have dreams of doing something else and are waiting for their chance, to young adults finding there way in the workforce, to parents looking for income for their family. It was kinda depressing. And the turnaround rate in ridiclous. I remember how many times you would see a new class of trainees learning the ropes of the system. The job is not one I would recommend to anyone unless you need the work and if you do, know that there are people out there that feel your pain.</p>\n<p>Taco Bell:</p>\n<p>Never be rude to anyone who works at a fast food place. People do no understand how rough a job it can be. You are dealing with a constant flood of costumers, all of whom are there for \"fast\" food and there are times when the line doesn't seem to end. When you work the window there is a timer on the screen that shows how long the person has been waiting since they ordered. It stares you down as it clicks second by second. To make matters worse, I worked at a taco bell that was in front of a mall. That's right a mall. And it was attached to a Pizza Hut. Between the pay and the poor work it really encourages you to stay in school. To anyone who is working there because they have to or are working hard at an extra job in their spare time, my hat is off to you. You do not get payed enough, regardless of what fast food chain you are working for. And to anyone who goes for a quick burger please please please be nice to the men and women who are behind the counter.</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>We are already heading in that direction. Credit cards, e-transfers, bitcoin. I think a lot of people already walk around without cash in their pocket. But eliminating the coin and bill altogether is a big step for an economic system to take, one which needs to work for everyone in every financial situation. </p>\n<p>MORE MONEY MORE PROBLEMS </p>\n<p>Eliminating physical money would cut down on costs in the long run. We don't have to worry about printng costs, materials and shipping and handling fees. Digital currency is easy to send and recieve. The metal from coins can be recycled. Money has become inefficient and moving to a system where digital payment is user-friendly and accepted everywhere will help move the system along quicker. But the system needs to be accepted everywhere for it to work. One of the reasons cash has staying power is it doesn't need infrastructure to work. You give someone a $20 bill, they pocket it and the transaction is completed. For a digital system to take over completely every vendor needs a system in place and every person will need the means to use it and that can be costly. </p>\n<p>IS IT SAFE? </p>\n<p>Security, or the idea of feeling secure is an issue. The fear of hackers is a prominant one and one that conjures images of hooded figures stealing your life savings. But there are ways to stop it. Having an institution that is liable for lose is one and it creates jobs. Personally I feel more secure when my money is in a bank account then when I am holding on to it. I'm not insured for that random $20 bill that fell out of my pocket. There is a comfort knowing someone is protecting your money, as long as feel you can trust them. But banks and other institutions have yet to implete blockchain technology. </p>\n<p>DOES STEEM HAVE STAYING POWER? </p>\n<p>I'm curious to see how well steem works as a currency and how well it will translate into real world applications (hey can I give you an upvote as payment for my coffee). Right now it is a third link over, cryptocurrency needs to be exchanged for digital currency which can then be exchanged into physchical currnecy. But that is just a temporary problem, digital currency and cryptocurrency can be intergated together. It will depend on how people feel about blockchain technology. Having data permanent and public can be a problem for a lot of people and businesses. But bitcoin seems to have proven that it has staying power and with the 2 year investment of steem back into the system, steem should have a future, at least until we figure out what the world thinks of blockchains. I'm sure there are users on here who are a lot more versed in cryptocurrency and blockchains, what do you think of the idea of a digital economy?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s16.postimg.org/532q7s1ad/money_card_business_credit_card_50987.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Because we, as a society, say it is. No really, I'm not being a smart ass. Okay the market is a little more complicated than that and the creation of a cryptocurrency is definitely more complicated than that. But when it comes down to it, steem, and other cryptocurrencys like bitcoin have value because we, as a society, have agreed that it is valauble. And the more people are willing to pay for it, and the less of it there is, the more it is worth. </p>\n<p>But can I buy food with it? Directly no. Not now at least. That may change if vendors decided they would accept steem as payment. But for now, steem cannot be used directly. But it can be exchanged for bitcoin which can be exchange for cash. There are websites that buy bitcoin for real currency and if steem really takes off we might see vendors who will deal with it directly for cash in the future. </p>\n<p>So steem and bitcoin by themselves are worthless then? Not exactly. They do have value. From what I know, the transparency and permancy of the blockchain gives security to the currency. It is also easy to send and recieve, saving a lot of costs in the long run for companies and people who choose to deal in it. And steem does have a secondary function. If you are a company or a celebrity, steem yields you influence. Having your stuff seen over somebody else's is a big market on the internet. Look how much the advertising companeis bring in. So, in theory, if you were looking for a platform where you wanted your message to be heard and you didn't have time to build up a network, a large financial investment could guarantee that your posts get seen as long as the viewers are there. </p>\n<p>So let's all get rich on nothing then? Not that simple. And also very dangerous. This is why cryptocurrency cannot stand on it's one without a fiat currency. Steem didn't just have value because it was mined and now people want it so it's value is rising. Steemit had a $20 million dollar investment of real money that gave the steem value. When the steem was created it was paired with a real world value, so that the steem was already worth the equivilant of something in the real world (in this case USD). Then they gave a percentage out to the people who would in turn us it and want more it, increasing its value. </p>\n<p>I like to think of cryptocurrency as a diamond and maybe just because the mining metaphor works so well as does the 'diamonds are forever' saying. Diamonds in themselves are fairly useless. They do have some functions if you cut them properly and they are shiny (so shiny). But like cryptocurrency, you can't eat it, wear it or accomplish anything with it. Yet if someone asked if you wanted a sandwhich or a large diamond, you would take the diamond (unless you were literally about to starve to death). Cryptopcurrency works the same way. Each steem or bitcoin can be seen as a coin that is worth a lot more in value then it is in actual worth. And why is it worth that value, because, like a diamond, someone might be willing to pay you cash money to own it. But keep in mind there a lot of cryptocurrencies out there, and prices fluctuate, so be careful with any of your investments. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s18.postimg.org/wwrfi26hl/diamond_635332_640.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"412\"/></p>\n</html>",

But at the same time writing something that is a 'hot topic' can bring in more views. People like new but these also want something they can keep coming back to. It is a difficult balancing act. Do you want something that will last long enough that it will come up in search results for the future? Or do you want something that will drive heavy traffic for a short period of time? And is it possible to do both? </p>\n<p>The Power Of Timeless </p>\n<p>It seems like a funny idea having something timeless on the internet. One of the things the net does best is the constant uploading of new, exciting and current information. But some posts, mostly how-to guides, can be shared and discussed for years to come. This is a matter of what you are writing about. Techniques that are proven to work, even if new techniques come out, are timeless. Ideas can be timeless. You are timeless. There is only one you and stories about your life that are positive and inspiring, regardless of the era that they happened in, can always be shared. And the internet is not always as fast as people think it is. As quickly as the search engine can archive something, it still takes time to be seen. Even if the post is worth sharing, it will still need to be found by someone, they in turn have to read it and then share it, the people on their network have to see it and read it and share it and so on and so forth. Unless you have a forum with an established reader list, your blog will take time to get out there. Blogs get archived. And no one is going to care about the 2016 election when 2017 rolls around Slow and steady can win the race, but it also can be at a disadvantage in the faster paced world of the internet. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s13.postimg.org/m89pxog2v/numbers_time_watch_white.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>The Power Of The Trend </p>\n<p>The way the system is set up now, I cannot deny the power of the trend. If you mention Hillary or Trump in my article title there is a better chance that people will click it. People are searching for things that are current. Even in their own field of interest, people want to know what is new. Techniques and technological advancements are present in every field. That doesn't take away what has worked but when you are looking for viewers, a lot of them want new. Plus when you write about something current, it is being talked about. You can be apart of the conversation and gain momentum from other posts on the same subject. But trend is short lived. This means quality is going to pay a price. And if your post doesn't go viral soon, it will sit on your hard drive with little reuse factor in the future. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s22.postimg.org/5lkaptr0x/light_person_woman_fire.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>Combining The Two </p>\n<p>Of course the best thing is to write an article that is both. But as the two can be at opposite ends, it may be difficult to achieve this. One stragety is to use a trending topic to introduce a more timeless idea or talk about a timeless idea with trending examples. For example, the examples I'm using in this blog about the the current election. This post has timeless elements to it, it should be useful as long as blogging and article writing are a part of the internet. But using examples of the current election in my title and in the post give it a relenvce factor. It makes the idea come to life and attracts users to the idea. Don't abuse that. It is easy to just staple a popular topic to a post to bring in views but that will angry and push away a lot of your readers. Think of a relevent topic that is a useful example or match for your ideas and if you pair the two properly, you can get the views for the post while keeping the article from fading quickly.</p>\n<p>This is @funny, please upvote, follow an promote \")</p>\n<p>(photos from pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

Maybe you are the one who tells funny stories all the time or you are the one who tells others about the latest gagdets. It may be because you like comedy or love tech and are happy to share your interests. But there is a chance that your behaviour is the result of postive reactions from the previous times you started to do that behviour. If you share an app that no one heard of and everyone starts to use it, maybe it made you feel good. So you tell them about another one and still, another positve result. This carries over to the next week where you let everyone know about this cool new site called Steemit, which leads them to high five you after they make there first dollar. What begins to happen is you start to pay more attention to the tech world. You might go out of your way to look for new things to tell people about. And soon you become an expert who can spot the next thing from a mile away. </p>\n<p>There is this idea that we tend to like what we are good at. Our interests and hobbies are, in a way, molded by the postive feelings we get from them. And being good at something is quite a positve feeling. Think of the things you enjoy doing. If it is something you put any considerable time into, it was probably because you had a knack for it. It is more likely you will follow a career in a field if you are quick to understand that field and feel like you can excel in it. And a lot of the time, since we are social creatures, excel-at-it is a relative term where other people acknowledge that you are good at it. It can come in the form of applause, laughter, good grades or money, but the external stimulus that you are getting that shows you are good at the thing you are doing is giving by someone else. This is why we need to encourage people and not be discoruaged ourselves when we fail at something. Getting good at anything takes practice. And if you have people giving you positive and realisitic (don't lie to someone if they are really bad at something) support, you might be suprised how far you can impove in a field of your choice. </p>\n<p>But we are not salvidating dogs. We are not animals. All the behaviour tests on animals in the world cannot fully help us to udnerstand huamns. People who like something will do it even if they suck at it and will do so with a smile on there face. And more power to them. Good for them rocking that shower ballad even when they are clearly tone deaf. People are more then how the outside world rewards them. And on top of that we are aware of why we likes things. Take this article for example, I can write about the idea of it because we can look outside of ourselves and see why we are doing what we do. Just something to think about the next time your eye wanders to that new tech article. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s17.postimg.org/x3j07di7z/pexels_photo_65121_1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>@funny - follow, promote, vote \")</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Steemit can be daunting when you start. You can post on literally anything. Or you can spend all your time looking at other posts as you upvote and comment them. Both can get you your start in the network and build you steem. But with so many people on this site already, and with so many more sure to join, you will want to utilize your time properly if you are going to see results. </p>\n<p>So what are you posting about? I recommend sticking with topics that you already have knowledge in at the start of your steemiting (yeah I made that a verb). When you already have a handle on the subject you can cut-down/out on time spent on preperation and research. I don't recommend getting stuck on one topic, cause you really will miss out if you don't continue to learn, but, when you need to build an account, you don't want to spend too much time reading other work when you need to produce your own. When you get a good start on steemit, built up steem power and are comfortable as a writer, then start to branch out. </p>\n<p>If you need some topics to post about, here are some ideas: </p>\n<p>\u2022life (tell us about your first vacation, or that embarrasing story that always gets a laugh) </p>\n<p> \u2022hobbies (sports, gaming, shopping, movies, you have to have something you like to do and something that you are knowledgable about it. Find it and share it.) </p>\n<p>\u2022teach us something (Where do you work? Bring your expertise over to steemit and blog about it) </p>\n<p>\u2022photography (Got the eye for it? Steemit is also a place where photos and video can be shared.) </p>\n<p>Also make sure you give yourself a goal for the day regardless of the results that happen after your first post. Tell yourself that you are going to complete two articles today and post them. Even if the first article doesn't get well-recieved, don't get discouraged about the second one. Get it out of your head and push forward. Working hard when things seem glim in a trait that will help you a lot in anything you want to be successful in. Anyone can work when things are going well, but those that can make it through the rough patches will see an increase in their chances of success. </p>\n<p>Now for the BIG mistake we are all making. Have you read the story of Narcissus? He thought he was so beautiful that he spent all his time staring at his reflection in the lake. Until one day he worried his reflecting was drowning, so he dived in after himself and ended up dead. Why am I telling you this story? Because like him, we all spend too much time admiring, or checking, our own work. Let's be honest, after you put you post out there you are pressing that F5 refresh button like mad to see how your post is doing. Then you wait five minutes and check it again. Maybe you check it again after another 5 minutes. We all do it. But this process is not only taking a lot of time but draining our mood and energy. If the post is doing well, great, don't get too cocky, just because you had one good post, it does not mean you don't have to work on the next ones. And if the post is doing bad, you will just make yourself less and less motivated with every click of the refresh button. Don't forget to check your articles later in the day to see what is working and reply to comments, but that time you waste watching how many upvotes you are getting is time that can be better spent elsewhere. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s21.postimg.org/699h8yexz/pexels_photo_1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"423\"/> </p>\n<p>And here are some other tips </p>\n<p>\u2022Long, well-written articles tend to do better than shorter posts. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't forget about commenting, well-liked comments get paid as well. </p>\n<p> \u2022In order to do a link, highlight the text you want to add the link to, click the link icon and paste the link in the box. </p>\n<p>\u2022Remember this system uses a blockchain, so everything you post will be permantly saved somewhere. </p>\n<p> \u2022Yes I can not deny having a niche can help you build your profile faster, but you're a person not a brand, you want to randomly post about flowers and motorcycles, go for it. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't be intimidated if you know nothing about bitcoins or blockchains or anything with the word crypto in front of it. This is a forum like any other, as it grows so will the topics. If there isn't a topic about something you want to post about then start it yourself. </p>\n<p>\u2022You don't have to be an english major to blog, find your voice and write about your expertise. </p>\n<p>\u2022Sometimes your post will be on at a bad time and fall under the radar. Don't be discouraged. I personally think its okay to repost it especailly since we currently don't have views. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you see something you like, upvote it. It is only polite. You help out the author and you get paid for it. The amounts are still not set but even if it is low it is still payment to vote. There are a lot worse ways to make money. </p>\n<p>\u2022But don't just scroll and upvote everything you see. Integrity goes a long way to keeping a system fair. And your voting power takes time to reset to full. </p>\n<p>\u2022WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD AND KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE! There is no password recovery system here. </p>\n<p>\u2022There are several free image hosting sites you can use to link photos from. Upload your photo, copy the link and post it in the image box. </p>\n<p>\u2022The Steemit white paper is like an instruction manuel. Keep in mind changes are still being made. Read it here. </p>\n<p>\u2022Take time with your title, make it catchy without being misleading. </p>\n<p>\u2022Steemit is not a link farm. </p>\n<p>\u2022Post your own work. Even camera phone photos are better than ones from the net. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you post photography make sure you add something that lets people know it is your photo. You don't want people to not upvote it becuase they don't know if it is taken from the internet or not and no one wants to do an image search on every photo. </p>\n<p>\u2022And finally, don't be an ass. This is more of a tip for life in general but hey, it applies here too.</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>We are already heading in that direction. Credit cards, e-transfers, bitcoin. I think a lot of people already walk around without cash in their pocket. But eliminating the coin and bill altogether is a big step for an economic system to take, one which needs to work for everyone in every financial situation. </p>\n<p>MORE MONEY MORE PROBLEMS </p>\n<p>Eliminating psychical money would cut down on costs in the long run. We don't have to worry about printng costs, materials and shipping and handling fees. Digital currency is easy to send and recieve. The metal from coins can be recycled. Money has become inefficient and moving to a system where digital payment is user-friendly and accepted everywhere will help move the system along quicker. But the system needs to be accepted everywhere for it to work. One of the reasons cash has staying power is it doesn't need infrastructure to work. You give someone a $20 bill, they pocket it and the transaction is completed. For a digital system to take over completely every vendor needs a system in place and every person will need the means to use it and that can be costly. </p>\n<p>IS IT SAFE? </p>\n<p>Security, or the idea of feeling secure is an issue. The fear of hackers is a prominant one and one that conjures images of hooded figures stealing your life savings. But there are ways to stop it. Having an institution that is liable for lose is one and it creates jobs. Personally I feel more secure when my money is in a bank account then when I am holding on to it. I'm not insured for that random $20 bill that fell out of my pocket. There is a comfort knowing someone is protecting your money, as long as feel you can trust them. But banks and other institutions have yet to implete blockchain technology. </p>\n<p>DOES STEEM HAVE STAYING POWER? </p>\n<p>I'm curious to see how well steem works as a currency and how well it will translate into real world applications (hey can I give you an upvote as payment for my coffee). Right now it is a third link over, cryptocurrency needs to be exchanged for digital currency which can then be exchanged into physchical currnecy. But that is just a temporary problem, digital currency and cryptocurrency can be intergated together. It will depend on how people feel about blockchain technology. Having data permanent and public can be a problem for a lot of people and businesses. But bitcoin seems to have proven that it has staying power and with the 2 year investment of steem back into the system, steem should have a future, at least until we figure out what the world thinks of blockchains. I'm sure there are users on here who are a lot more versed in cryptocurrency and blockchains, what do you think of the idea of a digital economy?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s13.postimg.org/op1mohcuf/money_card_business_credit_card_50987.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Have you ever fallen into a pattern of behaviour with a group of people? Maybe you are the one who tells funny stories all the time or you are the one who tells others about the latest gagdets. It may be because you like comedy or love tech and are happy to share your interests. But there is a chance that your behaviour is the result of postive reactions from the previous times you started to do that behviour. If you share an app that no one heard of and everyone starts to use it, maybe it made you feel good. So you tell them about another one and still, another positve result. This carries over to the next week where you let everyone know about this cool new site called Steemit, which leads them to high five you after they make there first dollar. What begins to happen is you start to pay more attention to the tech world. You might go out of your way to look for new things to tell people about. And soon you become an expert who can spot the next thing from a mile away. </p>\n<p>There is this idea that we tend to like what we are good at. Our interests and hobbies are, in a way, molded by the postive feelings we get from them. And being good at something is quite a positve feeling. Think of the things you enjoy doing. If it is something you put any considerable time into, it was probably because you had a knack for it. It is more likely you will follow a career in a field if you are quick to understand that field and feel like you can excel in it. And a lot of the time, since we are social creatures, excel-at-it is a relative term where other people acknowledge that you are good at it. It can come in the form of applause, laughter, good grades or money, but the external stimulus that you are getting that shows you are good at the thing you are doing is giving by someone else. This is why we need to encourage people and not be discoruaged ourselves when we fail at something. Getting good at anything takes practice. And if you have people giving you positive and realisitic (don't lie to someone if they are really bad at something) support, you might be suprised how far you can impove in a field of your choice. </p>\n<p>But we are not salvidating dogs. We are not animals. All the behaviour tests on animals in the world cannot fully help us to udnerstand huamns. People who like something will do it even if they suck at it and will do so with a smile on there face. And more power to them. Good for them rocking that shower ballad even when they are clearly tone deaf. People are more then how the outside world rewards them. And on top of that we are aware of why we likes things. Take this article for example, I can write about the idea of it because we can look outside of ourselves and see why we are doing what we do. Just something to think about the next time your eye wanders to that new tech article. </p>\n<p>@funny - follow, promote, vote \")</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s11.postimg.org/76p03ocmb/pexels_photo_65121_1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>So who here has missed an investment or startup stage that they wished that had taken a part it? I'm guessing we are all raising our hands. I'm sure even the smartest people have missed a company they probably wished they had invested their time or money in. You are not alone. Yeah it can leave you with that punch in the gut feeling. </p>\n<p>Take A Deep Breath. </p>\n<p>FUCK! </p>\n<p>Feel better? </p>\n<p>Yeah there is going to be a period of frustration. Go for a run or hit the gym. Blow it off. But don't dwell on it. There will ALWAYS be another opportunity to capatilze on. That is the secret. But if you waste your time with regret of what could have been you are going to miss out on what is coming next. Keep looking forward and keep looking outward. If you are focused on your field it is easy to feel like another opportunity like the one that passed in your field will not happen again in your lifetime. The key is realizing it may not be in your field. It may be something you have never heard of. Take steemit for example. How many people knew nothing of blockchains but learned about it and spotted an opportunity when the site was new and even now as it is still growing? This carries over to everything. There will always be a next big thing and if you are willing to widen your scope (if only for investment purposes) you will pick up on more of them. It takes a little more work then when it is something that is in your scope of expertise, but taking some time to spot an opportunity while still staying in your field can help you build the capitial you need to continue to pursue your field of choice. </p>\n<p>Remeber you didn't actually lose anything. I know me telling you this is probably not helping, but it is true. Losing an opportunity is not the same as losing something you actually have. If you knew about the opportunity after the fact, knew about it before and decided not to do anything or didn't know about it at all, the results are all the same. Technically, even if the opportunity never existsed, you are in the same boat then if it did and you didn't act. What is causing any frustration is the knowing that you have missed out, which means, quite literally, that it is all in your head. There are probably dozens of opportunities you are missing a month that are not even on your radar and you don't loss sleep over an of them (and no, don't start thinking about all those other missed opportunities). The loss of what could have been hits as badly as if we actually had it. It is even something you might feel more suddenly than losing something you actually had. That is because we, as forward thinkers, are visualizing what will be and since that is what is in our head, we feel the lose of possibilites quite instantly. While feeling the loss for something you had may take more time as we tend to take for granted what is in our life. So dust yourself off, raise your head and look forward to the next big thing.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s10.postimg.org/6t2iaz195/woman_dropped_fail_failure.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>About ten years ago, maybe five, internet dating got saddled with this idea that if you use it there was something wrong with you. That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. But the same things were said when you were a nerd. It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool if you are not one. Things and people change. So @funny is announcing that internet dating is no longer something to scoff at. Why do I say this? Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. </p>\n<p>You Mean You Have A Personality </p>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. I'm not going to argue how important looks are, or are are not, in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. It may not be a lot but it is something. </p>\n<p>Get To Know The Person First </p>\n<p>So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. That is great, but what did you really learn about the person. I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. </p>\n<p>Less Pressure </p>\n<p>It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. </p>\n<p>I Don't Have The Time To Meet People </p>\n<p>That isn't just an excuse. People are busy and dating takes time. Meeting people even takes time. When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. Plus it gets expensive. There are cover charges, costs of transport, drinks. And if you do meet someone you can only get to know them so much in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. </p>\n<p>I'm Shy </p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with being shy. Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. Who cares. You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. And maybe you are a bit \"weird\" by some people's standards. Again, who cares. Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being socially awkward. But if you are, so what, good for you. We all have our quirks. </p>\n<p>Now I know there are negatives. There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. It is not perfect. And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s17.postimg.org/nv066jnj3/smartphone_friends_internet_connection.jpg\" width=\"630\" height=\"380\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com) </p>\n<p>So you are starting to meet new people, now what? I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to tell you that all you have to do is be yourself and everyone will be interested in you. That phone numbers will fall at your feet and your social calender will run out of space. Cause it won't. In reality, being yourself probably won't attract as many dates as you possibly could get. But getting a higher number of yeses shouldn't be your goal, especially if you are looking for a long-term serious relationship. What you want is to find that one person, the one who is going to be there for the real you. That one who knows who you are on your good days and your bad and will still stick it out for you when you are at your worse. If you waste all your time impressing the wrong people, you might miss your chance with the right ones. </p>\n<p>When I was younger and didn't know better, I had made mistakes of acting in a way that I thought the person I liked wanted me to act like. And I have seen times when others have done it for me. We have all been there. Maybe its something small, like you pretend to like a band that you would never listen to, or something bigger, like pretending your an outdoors person when really all you want to do is stay home on a Saturday night in your pajamas. And this can work at first. If you are good enough at understanding what the other person likes, and wants, you can give it to them. But how long can you do it before it becomes a chore? When you start to act \"differently\" because you start to voice what you really think. At some point the person who you are will start to surface. Or worse it won't and that pushed down resentment can lead to some bad moods and arguements down the line. </p>\n<p>So give it a try. You are going to meet a lot of people that you will not, in one way or another, click with. That is just fine. So is being rejected. It does not feel great when it happens, but it happens. You are no worse off then before you got rejected. And who knows how much time you would have wasted chasing the wrong person. Be smart about your time and just be yourself.</p>\n</html>",

Come on strike-out! I like to hit the ball, but the whole catching and throwing thing was not for me. I couldn't kick in soccer and apparently you need something called co-ordination for tennis. Basketball required dribbling, so that was out and football was a time to chill on the bench. I never played rugby but I'm sure I would suck at it. Golf is a no unless it is mini. Surfing involves balance and I would sink like a stone at the first wave. Skateboarding lead to ripped pants and scrapped knees. I was not winning an olympic medal when we did our track and field events in school. Hockey, ha! I was happy if I didn't fall on my ass when I was skating. I was not bad at bowling, so that is something. The point is (if there is a point) is if you did suck at sports, you are not alone. I wanted to be on the bench with a pad and a pencil drawing. So if you are or were like me, don't sweat it, find your own ways to stay in shape, eat right and embarce your lack of strength, speed and co-ordination.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s17.postimg.org/z2zqr8c73/black_and_white_sport_fight_boxer.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"465\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>This isn't an article about how awesome steemit is and how it is has no flaws and how I spend all my nights dreaming about it. The system is far from perfect. And yes, it is becoming difficult to have a post trend on this site. But trending is happening. And people are making money. Even if it isn't a lot, it is more than you will make on other sites. </p>\n<p>I am very willing to put the work in. The problem is finding a place to do that, that is flexible and pays wells. A lof of jobs don't give you the time to work elsewhere and online jobs that do pay do not pay well enough. Steemit on the other hand can fix that. Steemit can be a place where I can bring my laptop and work from anywhere at anytime and make a good profit from it. And I can work on what I want to and then work to improve in that field. The possibility is there, not just for me but for others users as well. This can be a space for writers, photographers, artists and other content-creators to make a living from their work and give them the financial backing to not only continue in their field but explore others. Or even take a trip or two. For me it will be writing and some photos, and I hope to get to a place where I can feel that my effort will be worth it to make quality content for this site. Right now though it does feel too much like a lottery, where random posts make it big. But the potentional is there. </p>\n<p>The plan is to continue to post articles until enough get upvoted and I earned enough SP. It is something that literally anyone can do and anyone can make it viral on here. I know that sounds like a load after you have worked hard on a post only to watch it sink into the blockchain abyss. But it happens. A lot of these people who are making good money from their posts are just random people who came on at the right time or told the right story. And yes some of them have boobs, as I have read people complaining about that, but that is not a requirement. I don't have boobs (well when I'm up in my weight that can be argued) and I know no one here and look how much money this post is making (that is your cue to upvote this post) </p>\n<p>Time will show us how well Steemit is for income but as I said, it is looking positive. I will keep you updated if I can make a solid paycheck from it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s22.postimg.org/pa8fzytu9/logo.jpg\" width=\"616\" height=\"574\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>So who here has missed an investment or startup stage that they wished that had taken a part it? I'm guessing we are all raising our hands. I'm sure even the smartest people have missed a company they probably wished they had invested their time or money in. You are not alone. Yeah it can leave you with that punch in the gut feeling. </p>\n<p>Take A Deep Breath. </p>\n<p>FUCK! </p>\n<p>Feel better? </p>\n<p>Yeah there is going to be a period of frustration. Go for a run or hit the gym. Blow it off. But don't dwell on it. There will ALWAYS be another opportunity to capatilze on. That is the secret. But if you waste your time with regret of what could have been you are going to miss out on what is coming next. Keep looking forward and keep looking outward. If you are focused on your field it is easy to feel like another opportunity like the one that passed in your field will not happen again in your lifetime. The key is realizing it may not be in your field. It may be something you have never heard of. Take steemit for example. How many people knew nothing of blockchains but learned about it and spotted an opportunity when the site was new and even now as it is still growing? This carries over to everything. There will always be a next big thing and if you are willing to widen your scope (if only for investment purposes) you will pick up on more of them. It takes a little more work then when it is something that is in your scope of expertise, but taking some time to spot an opportunity while still staying in your field can help you build the capitial you need to continue to pursue your field of choice. </p>\n<p>Remeber you didn't actually lose anything. I know me telling you this is probably not helping, but it is true. Losing an opportunity is not the same as losing something you actually have. If you knew about the opportunity after the fact, knew about it before and decided not to do anything or didn't know about it at all, the results are all the same. Technically, even if the opportunity never existsed, you are in the same boat then if it did and you didn't act. What is causing any frustration is the knowing that you have missed out, which means, quite literally, that it is all in your head. There are probably dozens of opportunities you are missing a month that are not even on your radar and you don't loss sleep over an of them (and no, don't start thinking about all those other missed opportunities). The loss of what could have been hits as badly as if we actually had it. It is even something you might feel more suddenly than losing something you actually had. That is because we, as forward thinkers, are visualizing what will be and since that is what is in our head, we feel the lose of possibilites quite instantly. While feeling the loss for something you had may take more time as we tend to take for granted what is in our life. So dust yourself off, raise your head and look forward to the next big thing.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s10.postimg.org/qwjqt2dx5/woman_dropped_fail_failure.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p><strong> </strong>About ten years ago, maybe five, internet dating got saddled with this idea that if you use it there was something wrong with you. That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. But the same things were said when you were a nerd. It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool if you are not one. Things and people change. So @funny is announcing that internet dating is no longer something to scoff at. Why do I say this? Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. </p>\n<p> You Mean You Have A Personality </p>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. I'm not going to argue how important looks are, or are are not, in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. It may not be a lot but it is something. </p>\n<p>Get To Know The Person First </p>\n<p>So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. That is great, but what did you really learn about the person. I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. </p>\n<p>Less Pressure </p>\n<p>It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. </p>\n<p>I Don't Have The Time To Meet People </p>\n<p>That isn't just an excuse. People are busy and dating takes time. Meeting people even takes time. When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. Plus it gets expensive. There are cover charges, costs of transport, drinks. And if you do meet someone you can only get to know them so much in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. </p>\n<p>I'm Shy </p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with being shy. Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. Who cares. You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. And maybe you are a bit \"weird\" by some people's standards. Again, who cares. Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being socially awkward. But if you are, so what, good for you. We all have our quirks. </p>\n<p>Now I know there are negatives. There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. It is not perfect. And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so.</p>\n<p> <img src=\"https://s17.postimg.org/3l2xwhwr3/smartphone_friends_internet_connection.jpg\" width=\"630\" height=\"380\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n<p>So you are starting to meet new people, now what? I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to tell you that all you have to do is be yourself and everyone will be interested in you. That phone numbers will fall at your feet and your social calender will run out of space. Cause it won't. In reality, being yourself probably won't attract as many dates as you possibly could get. But getting a higher number of yeses shouldn't be your goal, especially if you are looking for a long-term serious relationship. What you want is to find that one person, the one who is going to be there for the real you. That one who knows who you are on your good days and your bad and will still stick it out for you when you are at your worse. If you waste all your time impressing the wrong people, you might miss your chance with the right ones. </p>\n<p>When I was younger and didn't know better, I had made mistakes of acting in a way that I thought the person I liked wanted me to act like. And I have seen times when others have done it for me. We have all been there. Maybe its something small, like you pretend to like a band that you would never listen to, or something bigger, like pretending your an outdoors person when really all you want to do is stay home on a Saturday night in your pajamas. And this can work at first. If you are good enough at understanding what the other person likes, and wants, you can give it to them. But how long can you do it before it becomes a chore? When you start to act \"differently\" because you start to voice what you really think. At some point the person who you are will start to surface. Or worse it won't and that pushed down resentment can lead to some bad moods and arguements down the line. </p>\n<p>So give it a try. You are going to meet a lot of people that you will not, in one way or another, click with. That is just fine. So is being rejected. It does not feel great when it happens, but it happens. You are no worse off then before you got rejected. And who knows how much time you would have wasted chasing the wrong person. Be smart about your time and just be yourself.</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Steemit can be daunting when you start. You can post on literally anything. Or you can spend all your time looking at other posts as you upvote and comment them. Both can get you your start in the network and build you steem. But with so many people on this site already, and with so many more sure to join, you will want to utilize your time properly if you are going to see results. </p>\n<p>So what are you posting about? I recommend sticking with topics that you already have knowledge in at the start of your steemiting (yeah I made that a verb). When you already have a handle on the subject you can cut-down/out on time spent on preperation and research. I don't recommend getting stuck on one topic, cause you really will miss out if you don't continue to learn, but, when you need to build an account, you don't want to spend too much time reading other work when you need to produce your own. When you get a good start on steemit, built up steem power and are comfortable as a writer, then start to branch out. </p>\n<p>If you need some topics to post about, here are some ideas: </p>\n<p>\u2022life (tell us about your first vacation, or that embarrasing story that always gets a laugh) </p>\n<p>\u2022hobbies (sports, gaming, shopping, movies, you have to have something you like to do and something that you are knowledgable about it. Find it and share it.) </p>\n<p>\u2022teach us something (Where do you work? Bring your expertise over to steemit and blog about it) </p>\n<p>\u2022photography (Got the eye for it? Steemit is also a place where photos and video can be shared.) </p>\n<p>Also make sure you give yourself a goal for the day regardless of the results that happen after your first post. Tell yourself that you are going to complete two articles today and post them. Even if the first article doesn't get well-recieved, don't get discouraged about the second one. Get it out of your head and push forward. Working hard when things seem glim in a trait that will help you a lot in anything you want to be successful in. Anyone can work when things are going well, but those that can make it through the rough patches will see an increase in their chances of success. </p>\n<p>Now for the BIG mistake we are all making. Have you read the story of Narcissus? He thought he was so beautiful that he spent all his time staring at his reflection in the lake. Until one day he worried his reflecting was drowning, so he dived in after himself and ended up dead. Why am I telling you this story? Because like him, we all spend too much time admiring, or checking, our own work. Let's be honest, after you put you post out there you are pressing that F5 refresh button like mad to see how your post is doing. Then you wait five minutes and check it again. Maybe you check it again after another 5 minutes. We all do it. But this process is not only taking a lot of time but draining our mood and energy. If the post is doing well, great, don't get too cocky, just because you had one good post, it does not mean you don't have to work on the next ones. And if the post is doing bad, you will just make yourself less and less motivated with every click of the refresh button. Don't forget to check your articles later in the day to see what is working and reply to comments, but that time you waste watching how many upvotes you are getting is time that can be better spent elsewhere. </p>\n<p>My Photo:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s15.postimg.org/waotl02p7/mirror.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"800\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>And here are the other tips </p>\n<p>\u2022Long, well-written articles tend to do better than shorter posts. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't forget about commenting, well-liked comments get paid as well. </p>\n<p>\u2022In order to do a link, highlight the text you want to add the link to, click the link icon and paste the link in the box. </p>\n<p>\u2022Remember this system uses a blockchain, so everything you post will be permantly saved somewhere. </p>\n<p>\u2022Yes I can not deny having a niche can help you build your profile faster, but you're a person not a brand, you want to randomly post about flowers and motorcycles, go for it. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't be intimidated if you know nothing about bitcoins or blockchains or anything with the word crypto in front of it. This is a forum like any other, as it grows so will the topics. If there isn't a topic about something you want to post about then start it yourself. </p>\n<p>\u2022You don't have to be an english major to blog, find your voice and write about your expertise. </p>\n<p>\u2022Sometimes your post will be on at a bad time and fall under the radar. Don't be discouraged. I personally think its okay to repost it especailly since we currently don't have views. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you see something you like, upvote it. It is only polite. You help out the author and you get paid for it. The amounts are still not set but even if it is low it is still payment to vote. There are a lot worse ways to make money. </p>\n<p>\u2022But don't just scroll and upvote everything you see. Integrity goes a long way to keeping a system fair. And your voting power takes time to reset to full. </p>\n<p>\u2022WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD AND KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE! There is no password recovery system here. </p>\n<p>\u2022There are several free image hosting sites you can use to link photos from. Upload your photo, copy the link and post it in the image box. </p>\n<p>\u2022The Steemit white paper is like an instruction manuel. Keep in mind changes are still being made. Read it here. </p>\n<p>\u2022Take time with your title, make it catchy without being misleading. </p>\n<p>\u2022Steemit is not a link farm. </p>\n<p>\u2022Post your own work. Even camera phone photos are better than ones from the net. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you post photography make sure you add something that lets people know it is your photo. You don't want people to not upvote it becuase they don't know if it is taken from the internet or not and no one wants to do an image search on every photo. </p>\n<p>\u2022And finally, don't be an ass. This is more of a tip for life in general but hey, it applies here too.</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Have you ever fallen into a pattern of behaviour with a group of people? Maybe you are the one who tells funny stories all the time or you are the one who tells others about the latest gagdets. It may be because you like comedy or love tech and are happy to share your interests. But there is a chance that your behaviour is the result of postive reactions from the previous times you started to do that behviour. If you share an app that no one heard of and everyone starts to use it, maybe it made you feel good. So you tell them about another one and still, another positve result. This carries over to the next week where you let everyone know about this cool new site called Steemit, which leads them to high five you after they make there first dollar. What begins to happen is you start to pay more attention to the tech world. You might go out of your way to look for new things to tell people about. And soon you become an expert who can spot the next thing from a mile away. </p>\n<p>There is this idea that we tend to like what we are good at. Our interests and hobbies are, in a way, molded by the postive feelings we get from them. And being good at something is quite a positve feeling. Think of the things you enjoy doing. If it is something you put any considerable time into, it was probably because you had a knack for it. It is more likely you will follow a career in a field if you are quick to understand that field and feel like you can excel in it. And a lot of the time, since we are social creatures, excel-at-it is a relative term where other people acknowledge that you are good at it. It can come in the form of applause, laughter, good grades or money, but the external stimulus that you are getting that shows you are good at the thing you are doing is giving by someone else. This is why we need to encourage people and not be discoruaged ourselves when we fail at something. Getting good at anything takes practice. And if you have people giving you positive and realisitic (don't lie to someone if they are really bad at something) support, you might be suprised how far you can impove in a field of your choice. </p>\n<p>But we are not salvidating dogs. We are not animals. All the behaviour tests on animals in the world cannot fully help us to udnerstand huamns. People who like something will do it even if they suck at it and will do so with a smile on there face. And more power to them. Good for them rocking that shower ballad even when they are clearly tone deaf. People are more then how the outside world rewards them. And on top of that we are aware of why we likes things. Take this article for example, I can write about the idea of it because we can look outside of ourselves and see why we are doing what we do. Just something to think about the next time your eye wanders to that new tech article.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s11.postimg.org/ysgf6z8oj/pexels_photo_25370.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

And yes, it is becoming difficult to have a post trend on this site. But trending is happening. And people are making money. Even if it isn't a lot, it is more than you will make on other sites. </p>\n<p>I am very willing to put the work in. The problem is finding a place to do that, that is flexible and pays wells. A lof of jobs don't give you the time to work elsewhere and online jobs that do pay do not pay well enough. Steemit on the other hand can fix that. Steemit can be a place where I can bring my laptop and work from anywhere at anytime and make a good profit from it. And I can work on what I want to and then work to improve in that field. The possibility is there, not just for me but for others users as well. This can be a space for writers, photographers, artists and other content-creators to make a living from their work and give them the financial backing to not only continue in their field but explore others. Or even take a trip or two. For me it will be writing and some photos, and I hope to get to a place where I can feel that my effort will be worth it to make quality content for this site. Right now though it does feel too much like a lottery, where random posts make it big. But the potentional is there.</p>\n<p>The plan is to continue to post articles until enough get upvoted and I earned enough SP. It is something that literally anyone can do and anyone can make it viral on here. I know that sounds like a load after you have worked hard on a post only to watch it sink into the blockchain abyss. But it happens. A lot of these people who are making good money from their posts are just random people who came on at the right time or told the right story. And yes some of them have boobs, as I have read people complaining about that, but that is not a requirement. I don't have boobs (well when I'm up in my weight that can be argued) and I know no one here and look how much money this post is making (that is your cue to upvote this post) </p>\n<p>Time will show us how well the average user can earn on Steemit but as I said, it is looking positive. I will keep you updated if I can make a solid paycheck from it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s16.postimg.org/inp6qaun9/food_pot_kitchen_cooking.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

The novel would be exclusive to steemit until it is completed and after a few months I might do something else with it. Being on steemit I thought a steampunk story made the most sense. I am thinking of having it take place in a steampunk world that is running low on water, making it harder for machines to get steam to run on. However there is a new mineral found from mining called steem, that when heated, gives off steam for days. The story will be about that mineral and those trying to obtain it. As it is quite the undertaking I want to make sure that the interest is there first. I will start it if this posts get 50 upvotes, regardless of how much money this post gets.

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Let me start by saying this has nothing to do with censopship. This in no way hinders users from posting what they want nor does it stop them from upvoting the content they want. But part of a person's freedom is also the freedom to have control over their own work. The need to post articles that do not allow comments is about giving users the power to write what they want, how they want, without worrying about the scrutinty of others. Maybe the person wants to write about a sensitive subject. Maybe they don't want people linking stuff in their posts. Or maybe they just want to worry about the article writing and skip the social media or debate side of the website. Regardless of the reason why someone chooses to block comments on their post, that they have taken the time to write, I feel they should have the right to do so. </p>\n<p>But This Might Encourage People To Post Garbage </p>\n<p>With downvoting and the addition of the red flag, poor and hateful posts can be buried in the blockchain abyss. Unwanted articles can be dealt with in a swift and painless manner. It is not as if commenting will stop these posts from popping up. If anything, comments on these posts will encourage fights, ones that pass respectful debate, and this site can do without the drama. There are more efficient ways of increasing the quality and decreasing the garbage of the site. </p>\n<p>But I Have Something Important To Say </p>\n<p>Say it. But why does it have to be on some one else's page? If you are determined to write about a topic that someone else has touched on then write your own post about it. Mention the aspects that you agree or don't agree with an write your own article. And if you want this one to be one of open discussion, then go for it. This feature, in no way, stops users who want to create posts that are discussion pieces. </p>\n<p>The goal of any site should give users as much control to utilize the site as they see fit without taking away from the other users. It may seem odd to you thay some people will want to disable comments, but if that is how they want to use the service, more power to them. Giving them the option to do so will in no way take away the rights from others and will lead to a more open and widely used site.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s18.postimg.org/z9183djh5/pexels_photo_59628.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Being paid properly for online content is an issue we have yet to solve. There are some sites which don't pay enough and others that pay a small percentage of the content-creators a large percentage of the profits. It is a difficult problem to assess. You give too much money for quantity and you get flooded with garbage. If you give too little then it is not worth the effort of the person making the content. And even if the money is good, the amount of work available may not be. Some sites offer a small amount of jobs, which are quickly taken. While other sites only request pieces on certain topics that can be too limiting for a lot of creatives. This results in a challenging path for anyone who wants to make a living from their craft. </p>\n<p>DOES REPUTATION MATTER? </p>\n<p>Yes it does and the problem is it does a little too much. When a user becomes known on a lot of sites their work becomes featured. They get more opportunities, more views and the value of their word, their photos and/or their video goes up. And more power to them. People who have worked hard, deserve it. But the problem is it is not a guarantee that if you work hard you will be rewarded. A lucky post at the right time can go viral, while a person can spend years perfecting their craft and barely make any money. This leads to a very big gap for new users. They should never give up, but it is very discouraging to submit a piece of work in a sea of content and hope that enough people see and promote it. It can feel as productive as throwing change into a wishing well. And this results in the line between the rich and the poor becoming too thick, a problem we see plague us elsewhere. </p>\n<p>CAN SEO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD? </p>\n<p>SEO can help any person or business get their work out there. Knowing how to present your article with keywords and meta tags will lead to an increase in views, even if you are a lesser-known content-creator. However, the problem becomes that this, in itself, is a full time job. Learning how to master SEO takes research and work, and it is a field that is constantly changing. It is the same with learning to self-promote. You can spend all your time becoming a professional at promoting your work and you start to forget what your work was in the first place. A lot of creatives just want to work and improve in their field without feeling like they need to learn how to \"sell themselves\". </p>\n<p>TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION </p>\n<p>This is why steemit and other sites that pay for original content are great for content-creators. There is no limit to what you want to post about and if people want to read about it, you will be rewarded. Having your posts show up in a public forum without being filtered means all users have the chance to get an audience for their work and lets the people decide if it is something they want to read. Sites like steemit usually get this done by running ads and it is yet to see if funding with blockchain technology is a sustainable system. But as we find better ways to fund people for their work, we are starting to see sites emerge that are giving people who want to pursue their craft a way of making a living</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s11.postimg.org/4vunybvnn/pexels_photo_89860.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

The novel would be exclusive to steemit until it is completed and after a few months I might do something else with it. Being on steemit I thought a steampunk story made the most sense. I am thinking of having it take place in a steampunk world that is running low on water, making it harder for machines to get steam to run on. However there is a new mineral found from mining called steem, that when heated, gives off steam for days. The story will be about that mineral and those trying to obtain it. As it is quite the undertaking I want to make sure that the interest is there first. I will start it if this posts get 50 upvotes, regardless of how much money this post gets. If the votes are there I will start right away.</p>\n<p>Please promote and share if the interest is there.</p>\n<p>Thanks</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s4.postimg.org/hqaq8ik5p/food_pot_kitchen_cooking.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>First of all, congratulations to everyone who is making good money from their posts. I'm not hating at all, good for you for putting in the work and figuring out how to be smart (and honest) about it. If you are on the lower end of the spectrum or are just joining (welcome) know that it is possible to make money here if you work and work smart. And don't worry if you don't know anyone. I literally just joined this site two months ago and I know nobody here, so don't worry about feeling excluded. </p>\n<p>So you wrote an awesome post and no one liked it It happens. Some of your posts might sky rocket, while others might never get off the ground. Don't take it personally. Sometimes it is the timing of the post. If no one is looking at what is new when your blog is posted it will quickly get pushed down the feed as new posts come. Or maybe it is a topic that is not popular on steemit yet. It might take you some time to build an audience for it. Keep pushing. There are people on here who will support you for your interests because they are happy to have variety on the site. And do take a second to think about what you could do better. Sometimes it is you. Not being mean, EVERY ONE of us has written posts that were less than stellar. Part of getting good at anything is practice, which includes real-world experience of sucking. Has to happen for us all. If your post wasn't great, see why and work to improve it the next time. But again, never take it personally. Even the greatest writers have written garbage. The difference is they tear it up and drink themselves to sleep while we post it on the internet. We are more public about our failures nowadays. </p>\n<p>Still having trouble getting an audience, here are some quick tricks to remember </p>\n<p>\u2022Make sure you have an awesome title that people will want to click on (but be honest, don't just make clickbait) </p>\n<p>\u2022Write what you know is always helpful and if you are writing about something you like it will make it easier to continue working on your bad days. </p>\n<ul>\n <li>Yes, certain topics, like posts about steemit have a better chance to succeed. This is a new site and people on it are still interested in it. This will most likely change.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>\u2022A picture is worth a thousand words, grab your cell phone and take a cool pic of something related to your work. </p>\n<p>\u2022Do not copy and paste work that isn't yours, it is easy to find out when something is a copy on the internet. </p>\n<p>\u2022Timing, timing, timing. It is easy to have a post get buried so don't get discouraged if that happens. </p>\n<p>Also be happy for the success of others You say you spent a couple of days or weeks working hard on an article that no one liked, while someone took a quick photo of their cat and made thousands of dollars. Welcome to the internet. Yeah it can be discouraging. I never said it's right. And I think, with networks like steemit, we are starting to move in a direction where quality is what pays. But for now, like every other social media and forum site, random stuff will sometimes blow hard work out of the water. That doesn't mean you should hate on those posts. No one likes a complainer. Do not be one of those jerk crabs that tries to grab the escaping crap and pull them back into the bucket (to anyone thinking, okay that was random, read the steemit whitepaper for the story of the crabs). Neither should you stop trying to improve yourself and your work. Instead focus on what you want the site to look like and what posts you think should be rewarded. Remember steemit is new. If you want it to thrive as a place for intelligent articles then post intelligent articles. Upvote and seach for intelligent articles. It is an open space to grow as each of you sees fit. And it is a big enough space that though-provoking debates and fart jokes can exist side-by-side.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s21.postimg.org/58c1f31cn/pexels_photo_24380.jpg\" width=\"530\" height=\"800\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>So who here has missed an investment or startup stage that they wished that had taken a part it? I'm guessing we are all raising our hands. I'm sure even the smartest people have missed a company they probably wished they had invested their time or money in. You are not alone. Yeah it can leave you with that punch in the gut feeling. </p>\n<p> Take A Deep Breath. </p>\n<p>FUCK! </p>\n<p>Feel better? </p>\n<p>Yeah there is going to be a period of frustration. Go for a run or hit the gym. Blow it off. But don't dwell on it. There will ALWAYS be another opportunity to capatilze on. That is the secret. But if you waste your time with regret of what could have been you are going to miss out on what is coming next. Keep looking forward and keep looking outward. If you are focused on your field it is easy to feel like another opportunity like the one that passed in your field will not happen again in your lifetime. The key is realizing it may not be in your field. It may be something you have never heard of. Take steemit for example. How many people knew nothing of blockchains but learned about it and spotted an opportunity when the site was new and even now as it is still growing? This carries over to everything. There will always be a next big thing and if you are willing to widen your scope (if only for investment purposes) you will pick up on more of them. It takes a little more work then when it is something that is in your scope of expertise, but taking some time to spot an opportunity while still staying in your field can help you build the capitial you need to continue to pursue your field of choice. </p>\n<p>Remeber you didn't actually lose anything. I know me telling you this is probably not helping, but it is true. Losing an opportunity is not the same as losing something you actually have. If you knew about the opportunity after the fact, knew about it before and decided not to do anything or didn't know about it at all, the results are all the same. Technically, even if the opportunity never existsed, you are in the same boat then if it did and you didn't act. What is causing any frustration is the knowing that you have missed out, which means, quite literally, that it is all in your head. There are probably dozens of opportunities you are missing a month that are not even on your radar and you don't loss sleep over an of them (and no, don't start thinking about all those other missed opportunities). The loss of what could have been hits as badly as if we actually had it. It is even something you might feel more suddenly than losing something you actually had. That is because we, as forward thinkers, are visualizing what will be and since that is what is in our head, we feel the lose of possibilites quite instantly. While feeling the loss for something you had may take more time as we tend to take for granted what is in our life. So dust yourself off, raise your head and look forward to the next big thing.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s18.postimg.org/p47e1ibp5/woman_dropped_fail_failure.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

Come on strike-out! I like to hit the ball, but the whole catching and throwing thing was not for me. I couldn't kick in soccer and apparently you need something called co-ordination for tennis. Basketball required dribbling, so that was out and football was a time to chill on the bench. I never played rugby but I'm sure I would suck at it. Golf is a no unless it is mini. Surfing involves balance and I would sink like a stone at the first wave. Skateboarding lead to ripped pants and scrapped knees. I was not winning an olympic medal when we did our track and field events in school. Hockey, ha! I was happy if I didn't fall on my ass when I was skating. I was not bad at bowling, so that is something. The point is (if there is a point) is if you did suck at sports, you are not alone. I wanted to be on the bench with a pad and a pencil drawing. So if you are or were like me, don't sweat it, find your own ways to stay in shape, eat right and embarce your lack of strength, speed and co-ordination.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s18.postimg.org/p3rec6cu1/black_and_white_sport_fight_boxer.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"465\"/></p>\n</html>",

So when somone calls you at a time when you are a busy and you make it clear to them, that you, have no desire to be on the phone with them, I assure you, that they, probably have no desire to be on the phone with you. They are not even the ones who dial the phone number to call you, it is literally a machine that dials your number and then your name pops up on the screen in front of them. They might be allowed some leeway to what they say to you but basically it is a hi and before they talk about whatever it is they are supposed to sell you. A lot of these employees do not even work for the company of the product they are trying to pitch. Call centres are owned by third parties who make calls on behalf of other companies. The person on the phone probably does not have stocks or interest in the company. They probably do not even get paid well to call you and bug you about whatever it is the company wants to bug you about. So when the poor bastard calls you, even if it is at the worse possible time, try to be nice to them. </p>\n<p>The place I worked was above a mall. You would not even know it was there unless you had to visit it. The space was fairly large, an open area that was littered with rows and rows of desks. On each desk was a computer and a headset. You would sit at the desk, put the headset on, click that you are ready to go and the calls would start. A screen would pop up with the name of the person you are suppose to talk with and then you would go into your spiel of what you were trying to sell. When the person said no (as was the large majority of your calls) you would need to click a reason of why they said no before letting the call go before moving on to the next one. The time you waited in between was called downtime. This didn't last, it was ususally a few seconds before the next call came on. You don't even decide to take the call, as long as you are on the clock the calls keep coming. There is an option to pause it, but when you do a clock comes up that counts the time you are on break. Oh and when you are finished with a call and need to pick a reason you didn't get the sale, you are timed for that too. So that way you cannot hide in the menus between calls. </p>\n<p>Every once in awhile someone would say yes. In order for the sale to go through it needs to be a clear YES on the phone (the calls are recorded). If it is not a clear yes, then you need to verify the positive affirmation again to make sure. Then comes the verbatim terms of the product. It was literally two pages long of terms and conditions that you had to read to the client word for word. If you messed up on any of it, then the quality team who listens to the sale could deny it. A lot of the times it is difficult to keep the person on the phone as you bore them with the terms, so you need to talk fast. To motivate you there is a team leader. Every dozen or so computers are sectioned off into a team. In front of each team is a whiteboard. This board has everybody's name on it and a space beside it where the team leader would write down how many sales you were getting. It could be pretty daunting to see how badly you are doing on the board in front of you. You are told that you are required to get so many sales an hour (it was usally 1-point-something, a number that was not easy to get) and they would check up on you if you are having trouble getting sales. </p>\n<p>The saddest part of working there is how much no one wants to be there. You will probably never find a man or a woman who is there because that is the job they wanted. No one growing up says I want to be a telemarketer. There are people who have dreams of doing something else and are waiting for their chance, to young adults finding there way in the workforce, to parents looking for income for their family. It was kinda depressing. And the turnaround rate in ridiclous. I remember how many times you would see a new class of trainees learning the ropes of the system. The job is not one I would recommend to anyone unless you need the work and if you do, know that there are people out there that feel your pain. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s18.postimg.org/ophkejycp/pexels_photo_2.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

The novel would be exclusive to steemit until it is completed and after a few months I might do something else with it. Being on steemit I thought a steampunk story made the most sense. I am thinking of having it take place in a steampunk world that is running low on water, making it harder for machines to get steam to run on. However there is a new mineral found from mining called steem, that when heated, gives off steam for days. The story will be about that mineral and those trying to obtain it. As it is quite the undertaking I want to make sure that the interest is there first. I will start it if this posts get 50 upvotes, regardless of how much money this post gets. If the votes are there I will start right away.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s17.postimg.org/hyr2rshjj/industry_vintage_old_fabric.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Being paid properly for online content is an issue we have yet to solve. There are some sites which don't pay enough and others that pay a small percentage of the content-creators a large percentage of the profits. It is a difficult problem to assess. You give too much money for quantity and you get flooded with garbage. If you give too little then it is not worth the effort of the person making the content. And even if the money is good, the amount of work available may not be. Some sites offer a small amount of jobs, which are quickly taken. While other sites only request pieces on certain topics that can be too limiting for a lot of creatives. This results in a challenging path for anyone who wants to make a living from their craft. </p>\n<p>DOES REPUTATION MATTER? </p>\n<p>Yes it does and the problem is it does a little too much. When a user becomes known on a lot of sites their work becomes featured. They get more opportunities, more views and the value of their word, their photos and/or their video goes up. And more power to them. People who have worked hard, deserve it. But the problem is it is not a guarantee that if you work hard you will be rewarded. A lucky post at the right time can go viral, while a person can spend years perfecting their craft and barely make any money. This leads to a very big gap for new users. They should never give up, but it is very discouraging to submit a piece of work in a sea of content and hope that enough people see and promote it. It can feel as productive as throwing change into a wishing well. And this results in the line between the rich and the poor becoming too thick, a problem we see plague us elsewhere. </p>\n<p>CAN SEO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD? </p>\n<p>SEO can help any person or business get their work out there. Knowing how to present your article with keywords and meta tags will lead to an increase in views, even if you are a lesser-known content-creator. However, the problem becomes that this, in itself, is a full time job. Learning how to master SEO takes research and work, and it is a field that is constantly changing. It is the same with learning to self-promote. You can spend all your time becoming a professional at promoting your work and you start to forget what your work was in the first place. A lot of creatives just want to work and improve in their field without feeling like they need to learn how to \"sell themselves\". </p>\n<p>TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION </p>\n<p>This is why steemit and other sites that pay for original content are great for content-creators. There is no limit to what you want to post about and if people want to read about it, you will be rewarded. Having your posts show up in a public forum without being filtered means all users have the chance to get an audience for their work and lets the people decide if it is something they want to read. Sites like steemit usually get this done by running ads and it is yet to see if funding with blockchain technology is a sustainable system. But as we find better ways to fund people for their work, we are starting to see sites emerge that are giving people who want to pursue their craft a way of making a living.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s17.postimg.org/i0nfh9znz/pexels_photo_2.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"486\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>I will admit, I was one of those kids who was not a fan of gym. You know the ones. The ones that hope the three outs pass before the ball makes it to the outfield. Come on strike-out! I like to hit the ball, but the whole catching and throwing thing was not for me. I couldn't kick in soccer and apparently you need something called co-ordination for tennis. Basketball required dribbling, so that was out and football was a time to chill on the bench. I never played rugby but I'm sure I would suck at it. Golf is a no unless it is mini. Surfing involves balance and I would sink like a stone at the first wave. Skateboarding lead to ripped pants and scrapped knees. I was not winning an olympic medal when we did our track and field events in school. Hockey, ha! I was happy if I didn't fall on my ass when I was skating. I was not bad at bowling, so that is something. The point is (if there is a point) is if you did suck at sports, you are not alone. I wanted to be on the bench with a pad and a pencil drawing. So if you are or were like me, don't sweat it, find your own ways to stay in shape, eat right and embarce your lack of strength, speed and co-ordination.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s18.postimg.org/p3rec6cu1/black_and_white_sport_fight_boxer.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"465\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Steemit can be daunting when you start. You can post on literally anything. Or you can spend all your time looking at other posts as you upvote and comment them. Both can get you your start in the network and build you steem. But with so many people on this site already, and with so many more sure to join, you will want to utilize your time properly if you are going to see results. </p>\n<p>So what are you posting about? I recommend sticking with topics that you already have knowledge in at the start of your steemiting (yeah I made that a verb). When you already have a handle on the subject you can cut-down/out on time spent on preperation and research. I don't recommend getting stuck on one topic, cause you really will miss out if you don't continue to learn, but, when you need to build an account, you don't want to spend too much time reading other work when you need to produce your own. When you get a good start on steemit, built up steem power and are comfortable as a writer, then start to branch out. </p>\n<p>If you need some topics to post about, here are some ideas: </p>\n<p>\u2022life (tell us about your first vacation, or that embarrasing story that always gets a laugh) </p>\n<p>\u2022hobbies (sports, gaming, shopping, movies, you have to have something you like to do and something that you are knowledgable about it. Find it and share it.) </p>\n<p>\u2022teach us something (Where do you work? Bring your expertise over to steemit and blog about it) </p>\n<p>\u2022photography (Got the eye for it? Steemit is also a place where photos and video can be shared.) </p>\n<p>Also make sure you give yourself a goal for the day regardless of the results that happen after your first post. Tell yourself that you are going to complete two articles today and post them. Even if the first article doesn't get well-recieved, don't get discouraged about the second one. Get it out of your head and push forward. Working hard when things seem glim in a trait that will help you a lot in anything you want to be successful in. Anyone can work when things are going well, but those that can make it through the rough patches will see an increase in their chances of success. </p>\n<p>Now for the BIG mistake we are all making. Have you read the story of Narcissus? He thought he was so beautiful that he spent all his time staring at his reflection in the lake. Until one day he worried his reflecting was drowning, so he dived in after himself and ended up dead. Why am I telling you this story? Because like him, we all spend too much time admiring, or checking, our own work. Let's be honest, after you put you post out there you are pressing that F5 refresh button like mad to see how your post is doing. Then you wait five minutes and check it again. Maybe you check it again after another 5 minutes. We all do it. But this process is not only taking a lot of time but draining our mood and energy. If the post is doing well, great, don't get too cocky, just because you had one good post, it does not mean you don't have to work on the next ones. And if the post is doing bad, you will just make yourself less and less motivated with every click of the refresh button. Don't forget to check your articles later in the day to see what is working and reply to comments, but that time you waste watching how many upvotes you are getting is time that can be better spent elsewhere.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s17.postimg.org/s46l9egnj/clock_time_hour_minutes.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n<p>And here are the other tips</p>\n<p>\u2022Long, well-written articles tend to do better than shorter posts. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't forget about commenting, well-liked comments get paid as well. </p>\n<p>\u2022In order to do a link, highlight the text you want to add the link to, click the link icon and paste the link in the box. </p>\n<p>\u2022Remember this system uses a blockchain, so everything you post will be permantly saved somewhere. </p>\n<p>\u2022Yes I can not deny having a niche can help you build your profile faster, but you're a person not a brand, you want to randomly post about flowers and motorcycles, go for it. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't be intimidated if you know nothing about bitcoins or blockchains or anything with the word crypto in front of it. This is a forum like any other, as it grows so will the topics. If there isn't a topic about something you want to post about then start it yourself. </p>\n<p>\u2022You don't have to be an english major to blog, find your voice and write about your expertise. </p>\n<p>\u2022Sometimes your post will be on at a bad time and fall under the radar. Don't be discouraged. I personally think its okay to repost it especailly since we currently don't have views. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you see something you like, upvote it. It is only polite. You help out the author and you get paid for it. The amounts are still not set but even if it is low it is still payment to vote. There are a lot worse ways to make money. </p>\n<p>\u2022But don't just scroll and upvote everything you see. Integrity goes a long way to keeping a system fair. And your voting power takes time to reset to full. </p>\n<p>\u2022WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD AND KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE! There is no password recovery system here. </p>\n<p>\u2022There are several free image hosting sites you can use to link photos from. Upload your photo, copy the link and post it in the image box. </p>\n<p>\u2022The Steemit white paper is like an instruction manuel. Keep in mind changes are still being made. Read it here. </p>\n<p>\u2022Take time with your title, make it catchy without being misleading. </p>\n<p>\u2022Steemit is not a link farm. </p>\n<p>\u2022Post your own work. Even camera phone photos are better than ones from the net. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you post photography make sure you add something that lets people know it is your photo. You don't want people to not upvote it becuase they don't know if it is taken from the internet or not and no one wants to do an image search on every photo. </p>\n<p>\u2022And finally, don't be an ass. This is more of a tip for life in general but hey, it applies here too.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>About ten years ago, maybe five, internet dating got saddled with this idea that if you use it there was something wrong with you. That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. But the same things were said when you were a nerd. It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool if you are not one. Things and people change. So @funny is announcing that internet dating is no longer something to scoff at. Why do I say this? Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. </p>\n<p>You Mean You Have A Personality </p>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. I'm not going to argue how important looks are, or are are not, in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. It may not be a lot but it is something. </p>\n<p>Get To Know The Person First </p>\n<p>So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. That is great, but what did you really learn about the person. I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. </p>\n<p>Less Pressure </p>\n<p>It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. </p>\n<p>I Don't Have The Time To Meet People </p>\n<p>That isn't just an excuse. People are busy and dating takes time. Meeting people even takes time. When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. Plus it gets expensive. There are cover charges, costs of transport, drinks. And if you do meet someone you can only get to know them so much in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. </p>\n<p>I'm Shy </p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with being shy. Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. Who cares. You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. And maybe you are a bit \"weird\" by some people's standards. Again, who cares. Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being socially awkward. But if you are, so what, good for you. We all have our quirks. </p>\n<p>Now I know there are negatives. There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. It is not perfect. And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so.</p>\n<p>No I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to tell you that all you have to do is be yourself and everyone will be interested in you. That phone numbers will fall at your feet and your social calender will run out of space. Cause it won't. In reality, being yourself probably won't attract as many dates as you possibly could get. But getting a higher number of yeses shouldn't be your goal, especially if you are looking for a long-term serious relationship. What you want is to find that one person, the one who is going to be there for the real you. That one who knows who you are on your good days and your bad and will still stick it out for you when you are at your worse. If you waste all your time impressing the wrong people, you might miss your chance with the right ones.. When I was younger and didn't know better, I had made mistakes of acting in a way that I thought the person I liked wanted me to act like. And I have seen times when others have done it for me. We have all been there. Maybe its something small, like you pretend to like a band that you would never listen to, or something bigger, like pretending your an outdoors person when really all you want to do is stay home on a Saturday night in your pajamas. And this can work at first. If you are good enough at understanding what the other person likes, and wants, you can give it to them. But how long can you do it before it becomes a chore? When you start to act \"differently\" because you start to voice what you really think. At some point the person who you are will start to surface. Or worse it won't and that pushed down resentment can lead to some bad moods and arguements down the line. So give it a try. You are going to meet a lot of people that you will not, in one way or another, click with. That is just fine. So is being rejected. It does not feel great when it happens, but it happens. You are no worse off then before you got rejected. And who knows how much time you would have wasted chasing the wrong person. Be smart about your time and just be yourself.<img src=\"https://s13.postimg.org/4xps6b28n/pexels_photo_58572.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>So now that you are starting meet people, how should you act on these dates? No I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to tell you that all you have to do is be yourself and everyone will be interested in you. That phone numbers will fall at your feet and your social calender will run out of space. Cause it won't. In reality, being yourself probably won't attract as many dates as you possibly could get.

+ "body": "<html>\n<p> Hey steemites, </p>\n<p>Having been on the network for some time I have come across and figured out some helpful tips for using the network. Here is a compiled list below. </p>\n<p>\u2022Long, well-written articles tend to do better than shorter posts. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't forget about commenting, well-liked comments get paid as well. </p>\n<p>\u2022In order to do a link, highlight the text you want to add the link to, click the link icon and paste the link in the box. </p>\n<p>\u2022Remember this system uses a blockchain, so everything you post will be permantly saved somewhere. </p>\n<p>\u2022Yes I can not deny having a niche can help you build your profile faster, but you're a person not a brand, you want to randomly post about flowers and motorcycles, go for it. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't be intimidated if you know nothing about bitcoins or blockchains or anything with the word crypto in front of it. This is a forum like any other, as it grows so will the topics. If there isn't a topic about something you want to post about then start it yourself. </p>\n<p>\u2022You don't have to be an english major to blog, find your voice and write about your expertise. </p>\n<p>\u2022Sometimes your post will be on at a bad time and fall under the radar. Don't be discouraged. I personally think its okay to repost it especailly since we currently don't have views. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you see something you like, upvote it. It is only polite. You help out the author and you get paid for it. The amounts are still not set but even if it is low it is still payment to vote. There are a lot worse ways to make money. </p>\n<p>\u2022But don't just scroll and upvote everything you see. Integrity goes a long way to keeping a system fair. And your voting power takes time to reset to full. </p>\n<p>\u2022WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD AND KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE! There is no password recovery system here. </p>\n<p>\u2022There are several free image hosting sites you can use to link photos from. Upload your photo, copy the link and post it in the image box. </p>\n<p>\u2022The Steemit white paper is like an instruction manuel. Keep in mind changes are still being made. Read it here. </p>\n<p>\u2022Take time with your title, make it catchy without being misleading. </p>\n<p>\u2022Steemit is not a link farm. </p>\n<p>\u2022Post your own work. Even camera phone photos are better than ones from the net. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you post photography make sure you add something that lets people know it is your photo. You don't want people to not upvote it becuase they don't know if it is taken from the internet or not and no one wants to do an image search on every photo. </p>\n<p>\u2022And finally, don't be an ass. This is more of a tip for life in general but hey, it applies here too.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s10.postimg.org/m57jr1jrd/food_pot_kitchen_cooking.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>About ten years ago, maybe five, internet dating got saddled with this idea that if you use it there was something wrong with you. That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. But the same things were said when you were a nerd. It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool if you are not one. Things and people change. So @funny is announcing that internet dating is no longer something to scoff at. Why do I say this? Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. </p>\n<p> You Mean You Have A Personality </p>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. I'm not going to argue how important looks are, or are are not, in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. It may not be a lot but it is something. </p>\n<p>Get To Know The Person First </p>\n<p>So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. That is great, but what did you really learn about the person. I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. </p>\n<p>Less Pressure </p>\n<p>It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. </p>\n<p> I Don't Have The Time To Meet People </p>\n<p>That isn't just an excuse. People are busy and dating takes time. Meeting people even takes time. When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. Plus it gets expensive. There are cover charges, costs of transport, drinks. And if you do meet someone you can only get to know them so much in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. </p>\n<p>I'm Shy </p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with being shy. Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. Who cares. You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. And maybe you are a bit \"weird\" by some people's standards. Again, who cares. Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being socially awkward. But if you are, so what, good for you. We all have our quirks. </p>\n<p>Now I know there are negatives. There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. It is not perfect. And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s13.postimg.org/pmbbclyl3/pexels_photo_23976.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>In order to solve the problem of the 1%, we have been trying to raise wealth for the middle and lower class. This has been done by creating more jobs and raising the minimum wage. But maybe that is not the right way to go about it. You can increase the wealth as much as you want, but if the cost rises with it, you will be stuck with the same problem. However if you decrease the cost of things that people can use to increase their wealth as well the decrease the cost of living, it can lead to a better dispursion of wealth. </p>\n<p>Increasing Wealth </p>\n<p>Regardless of where you are in the world, odds are that minimum wage needs to be increased. 15 dollars an hour should not be something that may happen in the future. It is too difficult for people to live of those wages and even if they do manage to get by, it limits the growth potentional when all their time is spent working dead-end jobs that care not for the growth of their employees. But increasing the wages as inflation increases is not enough. There is no progress here but only a side-step. And worse when it doesn't happen, it makes it harder for people who are struggling. There needs to be an influx of cash distrubtion to the lower class if we are to see a fairer system. The problem is that money has to come from somwhere and although the wealthy should be giving back, if the people who had money were inclined to give it, they would have done so already (maybe one day). There is the government, which can go a long way in helping to spread the wealth better, but we have yet to fix a system where the 1% thrive. </p>\n<p>Decreasing Cost </p>\n<p>What if everything that you needed was free? Imagine you didn't have to pay for food, or water, housing or electricity. Or the internet. How about education? Think about how much it would free you to work on the field of your choice and actually improve in that field if you are more focused on the work than the money. I'm not saying to eliminate wealth, if people want to spend their money on a fancy sports car, that is their choice, but everyone should be able to afford transport. If wealth is to stay (which looks like the way it will be as those with wealth will not want to just rid of their wealth) that does not mean you have to penalize those at the bottom. Money is a useless frivilous thing and if it is used to buy useless frivilous things is one thing, but when it is needed to eat and warm yourself we have a problem. If we can make the world more afforable for everyone it will lead to more opportunites for the lower class while still letting the super-rich keep their wealth.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s14.postimg.org/u22yr1l35/pexels_photo_2.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>I can tell you from experience, almost nobody who works at a call center wants to work at a call centre. They do not want to be there nor do they want to call you about whatever it is they are calling you about. So when somone calls you at a time when you are a busy and you make it clear to them, that you, have no desire to be on the phone with them, I assure you, that they, probably have no desire to be on the phone with you. They are not even the ones who dial the phone number to call you, it is literally a machine that dials your number and then your name pops up on the screen in front of them. They might be allowed some leeway to what they say to you but basically it is a hi and before they talk about whatever it is they are supposed to sell you. A lot of these employees do not even work for the company of the product they are trying to pitch. Call centres are owned by third parties who make calls on behalf of other companies. The person on the phone probably does not have stocks or interest in the company. They probably do not even get paid well to call you and bug you about whatever it is the company wants to bug you about. So when the poor bastard calls you, even if it is at the worse possible time, try to be nice to them. </p>\n<p>The place I worked was above a mall. You would not even know it was there unless you had to visit it. The space was fairly large, an open area that was littered with rows and rows of desks. On each desk was a computer and a headset. You would sit at the desk, put the headset on, click that you are ready to go and the calls would start. A screen would pop up with the name of the person you are suppose to talk with and then you would go into your spiel of what you were trying to sell. When the person said no (as was the large majority of your calls) you would need to click a reason of why they said no before letting the call go before moving on to the next one. The time you waited in between was called downtime. This didn't last, it was ususally a few seconds before the next call came on. You don't even decide to take the call, as long as you are on the clock the calls keep coming. There is an option to pause it, but when you do a clock comes up that counts the time you are on break. Oh and when you are finished with a call and need to pick a reason you didn't get the sale, you are timed for that too. So that way you cannot hide in the menus between calls. </p>\n<p>Every once in awhile someone would say yes. In order for the sale to go through it needs to be a clear YES on the phone (the calls are recorded). If it is not a clear yes, then you need to verify the positive affirmation again to make sure. Then comes the verbatim terms of the product. It was literally two pages long of terms and conditions that you had to read to the client word for word. If you messed up on any of it, then the quality team who listens to the sale could deny it. A lot of the times it is difficult to keep the person on the phone as you bore them with the terms, so you need to talk fast. To motivate you there is a team leader. Every dozen or so computers are sectioned off into a team. In front of each team is a whiteboard. This board has everybody's name on it and a space beside it where the team leader would write down how many sales you were getting. It could be pretty daunting to see how badly you are doing on the board in front of you. You are told that you are required to get so many sales an hour (it was usally 1-point-something, a number that was not easy to get) and they would check up on you if you are having trouble getting sales. </p>\n<p>The saddest part of working there is how much no one wants to be there. You will probably never find a man or a woman who is there because that is the job they wanted. No one growing up says I want to be a telemarketer. There are people who have dreams of doing something else and are waiting for their chance, to young adults finding there way in the workforce, to parents looking for income for their family. It was kinda depressing. And the turnaround rate in ridiclous. I remember how many times you would see a new class of trainees learning the ropes of the system. The job is not one I would recommend to anyone unless you need the work and if you do, know that there are people out there that feel your pain.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s9.postimg.org/jxbss8osv/marketing_man_person_communication.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Steemit can be daunting when you start. You can post on literally anything. Or you can spend all your time looking at other posts as you upvote and comment them. Both can get you your start in the network and build you steem. But with so many people on this site already, and with so many more sure to join, you will want to utilize your time properly if you are going to see results. </p>\n<p>So what are you posting about? I recommend sticking with topics that you already have knowledge in at the start of your steemiting (yeah I made that a verb). When you already have a handle on the subject you can cut-down/out on time spent on preperation and research. I don't recommend getting stuck on one topic, cause you really will miss out if you don't continue to learn, but, when you need to build an account, you don't want to spend too much time reading other work when you need to produce your own. When you get a good start on steemit, built up steem power and are comfortable as a writer, then start to branch out. </p>\n<p>If you need some topics to post about, here are some ideas: </p>\n<p>\u2022life (tell us about your first vacation, or that embarrasing story that always gets a laugh) </p>\n<p>\u2022hobbies (sports, gaming, shopping, movies, you have to have something you like to do and something that you are knowledgable about it. Find it and share it.) </p>\n<p>\u2022teach us something (Where do you work? Bring your expertise over to steemit and blog about it) </p>\n<p>\u2022photography (Got the eye for it? Steemit is also a place where photos and video can be shared.) </p>\n<p>Also make sure you give yourself a goal for the day regardless of the results that happen after your first post. Tell yourself that you are going to complete two articles today and post them. Even if the first article doesn't get well-recieved, don't get discouraged about the second one. Get it out of your head and push forward. Working hard when things seem glim in a trait that will help you a lot in anything you want to be successful in. Anyone can work when things are going well, but those that can make it through the rough patches will see an increase in their chances of success. </p>\n<p>Now for the BIG mistake we are all making. Have you read the story of Narcissus? He thought he was so beautiful that he spent all his time staring at his reflection in the lake. Until one day he worried his reflecting was drowning, so he dived in after himself and ended up dead. Why am I telling you this story? Because like him, we all spend too much time admiring, or checking, our own work. Let's be honest, after you put you post out there you are pressing that F5 refresh button like mad to see how your post is doing. Then you wait five minutes and check it again. Maybe you check it again after another 5 minutes. We all do it. But this process is not only taking a lot of time but draining our mood and energy. If the post is doing well, great, don't get too cocky, just because you had one good post, it does not mean you don't have to work on the next ones. And if the post is doing bad, you will just make yourself less and less motivated with every click of the refresh button. Don't forget to check your articles later in the day to see what is working and reply to comments, but that time you waste watching how many upvotes you are getting is time that can be better spent elsewhere. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s16.postimg.org/52nc6c75x/pexels_photo_1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"423\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>I will admit, I was one of those kids who was not a fan of gym. You know the ones. The ones that hope the three outs pass before the ball makes it to the outfield. Come on strike-out! I like to hit the ball, but the whole catching and throwing thing was not for me. I couldn't kick in soccer and apparently you need something called co-ordination for tennis. Basketball required dribbling, so that was out and football was a time to chill on the bench. I never played rugby but I'm sure I would suck at it. Golf is a no unless it is mini. Surfing involves balance and I would sink like a stone at the first wave. Skateboarding lead to ripped pants and scrapped knees. I was not winning an olympic medal when we did our track and field events in school. Hockey, ha! I was happy if I didn't fall on my ass when I was skating. I was not bad at bowling, so that is something. The point is (if there is a point) is if you did suck at sports, you are not alone. I wanted to be on the bench with a pad and a pencil drawing. So if you are or were like me, don't sweat it, find your own ways to stay in shape, eat right and embarce your lack of strength, speed and co-ordination.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s4.postimg.org/oracga9ql/pexels_photo.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Being paid properly for online content is an issue we have yet to solve. There are some sites which don't pay enough and others that pay a small percentage of the content-creators a large percentage of the profits. It is a difficult problem to assess. You give too much money for quantity and you get flooded with garbage. If you give too little then it is not worth the effort of the person making the content. And even if the money is good, the amount of work available may not be. Some sites offer a small amount of jobs, which are quickly taken. While other sites only request pieces on certain topics that can be too limiting for a lot of creatives. This results in a challenging path for anyone who wants to make a living from their craft. </p>\n<p>DOES REPUTATION MATTER? </p>\n<p>Yes it does and the problem is it does a little too much. When a user becomes known on a lot of sites their work becomes featured. They get more opportunities, more views and the value of their word, their photos and/or their video goes up. And more power to them. People who have worked hard, deserve it. But the problem is it is not a guarantee that if you work hard you will be rewarded. A lucky post at the right time can go viral, while a person can spend years perfecting their craft and barely make any money. This leads to a very big gap for new users. They should never give up, but it is very discouraging to submit a piece of work in a sea of content and hope that enough people see and promote it. It can feel as productive as throwing change into a wishing well. And this results in the line between the rich and the poor becoming too thick, a problem we see plague us elsewhere. </p>\n<p>CAN SEO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD? </p>\n<p>SEO can help any person or business get their work out there. Knowing how to present your article with keywords and meta tags will lead to an increase in views, even if you are a lesser-known content-creator. However, the problem becomes that this, in itself, is a full time job. Learning how to master SEO takes research and work, and it is a field that is constantly changing. It is the same with learning to self-promote. You can spend all your time becoming a professional at promoting your work and you start to forget what your work was in the first place. A lot of creatives just want to work and improve in their field without feeling like they need to learn how to \"sell themselves\". </p>\n<p>TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION </p>\n<p>This is why steemit and other sites that pay for original content are great for content-creators. There is no limit to what you want to post about and if people want to read about it, you will be rewarded. Having your posts show up in a public forum without being filtered means all users have the chance to get an audience for their work and lets the people decide if it is something they want to read. Sites like steemit usually get this done by running ads and it is yet to see if funding with blockchain technology is a sustainable system. But as we find better ways to fund people for their work, we are starting to see sites emerge that are giving people who want to pursue their craft a way of making a living.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s4.postimg.org/ia9wrisdp/pexels_photo_89860.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"/></p>\n<p>(pexels.com)</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Hey steemites, </p>\n<p>Having been on the network for some time I have come across and figured out some helpful tips for using the network. Here is a compiled list below. </p>\n<p>\u2022Long, well-written articles tend to do better than shorter posts. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't forget about commenting, well-liked comments get paid as well. </p>\n<p>\u2022In order to do a link, highlight the text you want to add the link to, click the link icon and paste the link in the box. </p>\n<p>\u2022Remember this system uses a blockchain, so everything you post will be permantly saved somewhere. </p>\n<p> \u2022Yes I can not deny having a niche can help you build your profile faster, but you're a person not a brand, you want to randomly post about flowers and motorcycles, go for it. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't be intimidated if you know nothing about bitcoins or blockchains or anything with the word crypto in front of it. This is a forum like any other, as it grows so will the topics. If there isn't a topic about something you want to post about then start it yourself. </p>\n<p>\u2022You don't have to be an english major to blog, find your voice and write about your expertise. </p>\n<p>\u2022Sometimes your post will be on at a bad time and fall under the radar. Don't be discouraged. I personally think its okay to repost it especailly since we currently don't have views. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you see something you like, upvote it. It is only polite. You help out the author and you get paid for it. The amounts are still not set but even if it is low it is still payment to vote. There are a lot worse ways to make money. </p>\n<p>\u2022But don't just scroll and upvote everything you see. Integrity goes a long way to keeping a system fair. And your voting power takes time to reset to full. </p>\n<p>\u2022WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD AND KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE! There is no password recovery system here. </p>\n<p> \u2022There are several free image hosting sites you can use to link photos from. Upload your photo, copy the link and post it in the image box. </p>\n<p>\u2022The Steemit white paper is like an instruction manuel. Keep in mind changes are still being made. Read it here. </p>\n<p>\u2022Take time with your title, make it catchy without being misleading. </p>\n<p>\u2022Steemit is not a link farm. </p>\n<p>\u2022Post your own work. Even camera phone photos are better than ones from the net. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you post photography make sure you add something that lets people know it is your photo. You don't want people to not upvote it becuase they don't know if it is taken from the internet or not and no one wants to do an image search on every photo. </p>\n<p>\u2022And finally, don't be an ass. This is more of a tip for life in general but hey, it applies here too. </p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

The key is realizing it may not be in your field. It may be something you have never heard of. Take steemit for example. How many people knew nothing of blockchains but learned about it and spotted an opportunity when the site was new and even now as it is still growing? This carries over to everything. There will always be a next big thing and if you are willing to widen your scope (if only for investment purposes) you will pick up on more of them. It takes a little more work then when it is something that is in your scope of expertise, but taking some time to spot an opportunity while still staying in your field can help you build the capitial you need to continue to pursue your field of choice. </p>\n<p>Remeber you didn't actually lose anything. I know me telling you this is probably not helping, but it is true. Losing an opportunity is not the same as losing something you actually have. If you knew about the opportunity after the fact, knew about it before and decided not to do anything or didn't know about it at all, the results are all the same. Technically, even if the opportunity never existsed, you are in the same boat then if it did and you didn't act. What is causing any frustration is the knowing that you have missed out, which means, quite literally, that it is all in your head. There are probably dozens of opportunities you are missing a month that are not even on your radar and you don't loss sleep over an of them (and no, don't start thinking about all those other missed opportunities). The loss of what could have been hits as badly as if we actually had it. It is even something you might feel more suddenly than losing something you actually had. That is because we, as forward thinkers, are visualizing what will be and since that is what is in our head, we feel the lose of possibilites quite instantly. While feeling the loss for something you had may take more time as we tend to take for granted what is in our life. So dust yourself off, raise your head and look forward to the next big thing.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s13.postimg.org/dta75vi2f/money.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"119\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>About ten years ago, maybe five, internet dating got saddled with this idea that if you use it there was something wrong with you. That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. But the same things were said when you were a nerd. It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool if you are not one. Things and people change. So @funny is announcing that internet dating is no longer something to scoff at. Why do I say this? Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. </p>\n<p>You Mean You Have A Personality<strong> </strong> </p>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. I'm not going to argue how important looks are, or are are not, in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. It may not be a lot but it is something. </p>\n<p>Get To Know The Person First<strong> </strong> </p>\n<p>So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. That is great, but what did you really learn about the person. I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. </p>\n<p> Less Pressure </p>\n<p>It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. </p>\n<p> I Don't Have The Time To Meet People </p>\n<p> That isn't just an excuse. People are busy and dating takes time. Meeting people even takes time. When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. Plus it gets expensive. There are cover charges, costs of transport, drinks. And if you do meet someone you can only get to know them so much in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. </p>\n<p>I'm Shy </p>\n<p> There is nothing wrong with being shy. Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. Who cares. You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. And maybe you are a bit \"weird\" by some people's standards. Again, who cares. Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being socially awkward. But if you are, so what, good for you. We all have our quirks. Now I know there are negatives. There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. It is not perfect. And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so.</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Hey steemit, </p>\n<p>This isn't going to be an article about how awesome steemit is and how it is has no flaws and how I spend all my nights dreaming about it. The system is far from perfect. And yes, it is becoming difficult to have a post trend on this site. But trending is happening. And people are making money. Even if it isn't a lot, it is more than you will make on other sites. </p>\n<p>I am very willing to put the work in. The problem is finding a place to do that, that is flexible and pays wells. A lof of jobs don't give you the time to work elsewhere and online jobs that do pay do not pay well enough. Steemit on the other hand can fix that. Steemit can be a place where I can bring my laptop and work from anywhere at anytime and make a good profit from it. And I can work on what I want to and then work to improve in that field. The possibility is there, not just for me but for others users as well. This can be a space for writers, photographers, artists and other content-creators to make a living from their work and give them the financial backing to not only continue in their field but explore others. Or even take a trip or two. For me it will be writing and some photos, and I hope to get to a place where I can feel that my effort will be worth it to make quality content for this site. Right now though it does feel too much like a lottery, where random posts make it big. But the potentional is there. </p>\n<p>Oh and about me. I like having a private account without pictures of details. Not trying to hide anything and, if I'm allowed, will probably make another account with photos of me and everything. But since people like to know that I am a real person on here, I am adding photo I took when I started on steemit for everyone to see.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s3.postimg.org/ll8z2t7z7/hey.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>First of all, congratulations to everyone who is making good money from their posts. I'm not hating at all, good for you for putting in the work and figuring out how to be smart (and honest) about it. If you are on the lower end of the spectrum or are just joining (welcome) know that it is possible to make money here if you work and work smart. I literally just joined this site about a month ago and I know nobody here, so don't worry about feeling excluded. </p>\n<p>So you wrote an awesome post and no one liked it It happens. Some of your posts might sky rocket, while others might never get off the ground. Don't take it personally. Sometimes it is the timing of the post. If no one is looking at what is new when your blog is posted it will quickly get pushed down the feed as new posts come. Or maybe it is a topic that is not popular on steemit yet. It might take you some time to build an audience for it. Keep pushing. There are people on here who will support you for your interests because they are happy to have variety on the site. And do take a second to think about what you could do better. Sometimes it is you. Not being mean, EVERY ONE of us has written posts that were less than stellar. Part of getting good at anything is practice, which includes real-world experience of sucking. Has to happen for us all. If your post wasn't great, see why and work to improve it the next time. But again, never take it personally. Even the greatest writers have written garbage. The difference is they tear it up and drink themselves to sleep while we post it on the internet. We are more public about our failures nowadays. </p>\n<p>Still having trouble getting an audience, here are some quick tricks to remember \u2022Make sure you have an awesome title that people will want to click on (but be honest, don't just make clickbait) </p>\n<p>\u2022Write what you know is always helpful and if you are writing about something you like it will make it easier to continue working on your bad days. </p>\n<p>\u2022A picture is worth a thousand words, grab your cell phone and take a cool pic of something related to your work. </p>\n<p>\u2022Do not copy and paste work that isn't yours, it is easy to find out when something is a copy on the internet. </p>\n<p>\u2022Timing, timing, timing. It is easy to have a post get buried so don't get discouraged if that happens. </p>\n<p>Also be happy for the success of others You say you spent a couple of days or weeks working hard on an article that no one liked, while someone took a quick photo of their cat and made thousands of dollars. Welcome to the internet. Yeah it can be discouraging. I never said it's right. And I think, with networks like steemit, we are starting to move in a direction where quality is what pays. But for now, like every other social media and forum site, random stuff will sometimes blow hard work out of the water. That doesn't mean you should hate on those posts. No one likes a complainer. Do not be one of those jerk crabs that tries to grab the escaping crap and pull them back into the bucket (to anyone thinking, okay that was random, read the steemit whitepaper for the story of the crabs). Neither should you stop trying to improve yourself and your work. Instead focus on what you want the site to look like and what posts you think should be rewarded. Remember steemit is new. If you want it to thrive as a place for intelligent articles then post intelligent articles. Upvote and seach for intelligent articles. It is an open space to grow as each of you sees fit. And it is a big enough space that though-provoking debates and fart jokes can exist side-by-side</p>\n</html>",

I recommend sticking with topics that you already have knowledge in at the start of your steemiting (yeah I made that a verb). When you already have a handle on the subject you can cut-down/out on time spent on preperation and research. I don't recommend getting stuck on one topic, cause you really will miss out if you don't continue to learn, but, when you need to build an account, you don't want to spend too much time reading other work when you need to produce your own. When you get a good start on steemit, built up steem power and are comfortable as a writer, then start to branch out. </p>\n<p> If you need some topics to post about, here are some ideas: </p>\n<p>\u2022life (tell us about your first vacation, or that embarrasing story that always gets a laugh) </p>\n<p>\u2022hobbies (sports, gaming, shopping, movies, you have to have something you like to do and something that you are knowledgable about it. Find it and share it.) </p>\n<p>\u2022teach us something (Where do you work? Bring your expertise over to steemit and blog about it) </p>\n<p>\u2022photography (Got the eye for it? Steemit is also a place where photos and video can be shared.) </p>\n<p>Also make sure you give yourself a goal for the day regardless of the results that happen after your first post. Tell yourself that you are going to complete two articles today and post them. Even if the first article doesn't get well-recieved, don't get discouraged about the second one. Get it out of your head and push forward. Working hard when things seem glim in a trait that will help you a lot in anything you want to be successful in. Anyone can work when things are going well, but those that can make it through the rough patches will see an increase in their chances of success. </p>\n<p>Now for the BIG mistake we are all making. Have you read the story of Narcissus? He thought he was so beautiful that he spent all his time staring at his reflection in the lake. Until one day he worried his reflecting was drowning, so he dived in after himself and ended up dead. Why am I telling you this story? Because like him, we all spend too much time admiring, or checking, our own work. Let's be honest, after you put you post out there you are pressing that F5 refresh button like mad to see how your post is doing. Then you wait five minutes and check it again. Maybe you check it again after another 5 minutes. We all do it. But this process is not only taking a lot of time but draining our mood and energy. If the post is doing well, great, don't get too cocky, just because you had one good post, it does not mean you don't have to work on the next ones. And if the post is doing bad, you will just make yourself less and less motivated with every click of the refresh button. Don't forget to check your articles later in the day to see what is working and reply to comments, but that time you waste watching how many upvotes you are getting is time that can be better spent elsewhere.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s9.postimg.org/3up09paf3/mirror.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"800\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Because we, as a society, say it is. No really, I'm not being a smart ass. Okay the market is a little more complicated than that and the creation of a cryptocurrency is definitely more complicated than that. But when it comes down to it, steem, and other cryptocurrencys like bitcoin have value because we, as a society, have agreed that it is valauble. And the more people are willing to pay for it, and the less of it there is, the more it is worth. </p>\n<p>But I Can't Buy Food With It? </p>\n<p>Directly no. </p>\n<p>Not now at least. That may change if vendors decided they would accept steem as payment. But for now, steem cannot be used directly. But it can be exchanged for bitcoin which can be exchange for cash. There are websites that buy bitcoin for real currency and if steem really takes off we might see vendors who will deal with it directly for cash in the future. </p>\n<p>So Steem and Bitcoin By Themselves Are Worthless Then? </p>\n<p>Not exactly. They do have value. From what I know, the transparency and permancy of the blockchain gives security to the currency. It is also easy to send and recieve, saving a lot of costs in the long run for companies and people who choose to deal in it. And steem does have a secondary function. If you are a company or a celebrity, steem yields you influence. Having your stuff seen over somebody else's is a big market on the internet. Look how much the advertising companeis bring in. So, in theory, if you were looking for a platform where you wanted your message to be heard and you didn't have time to build up a network, a large financial investment could guarantee that your posts get seen as long as the viewers are there. </p>\n<p>So Let's All Get Rich On Nothing Then </p>\n<p>Not that simple. And also very dangerous. This is why cryptocurrency cannot stand on it's one without a fiat currency. Steem didn't just have value because it was mined and now people want it so it's value is rising. Steemit had a $20 million dollar investment of real money that gave the steem value. When the steem was created it was paired with a real world value, so that the steem was already worth the equivilant of something in the real world (in this case USD). Then they gave a percentage out to the people who would in turn us it and want more it, increasing its value. </p>\n<p>Like a Diamond </p>\n<p>I like to think of cryptocurrency as a diamond and maybe just because the mining metaphor works so well as does the 'diamonds are forever' saying. Diamonds in themselves are fairly useless. They do have some functions if you cut them properly and they are shiny (so shiny). But like cryptocurrency, you can't eat it, wear it or accomplish anything with it. Yet if someone asked if you wanted a sandwhich or a large diamond, you would take the diamond (unless you were literally about to starve to death). Cryptopcurrency works the same way. Each steem or bitcoin can be seen as a coin that is worth a lot more in value then it is in actual worth. And why is it worth that value, because, like a diamond, someone is willing to pay you cash money to own it.</p>\n</html>",

You are dealing with a constant flood of costumers, all of whom are there for \"fast\" food and there are times when the line doesn't seem to end. When you work the window there is a timer on the screen that shows how long the person has been waiting since they ordered. It stares you down as it clicks second by second. To make matters worse, I worked at a taco bell that was in front of a mall. That's right a mall. And it was attached to a Pizza Hut. Between the pay and the poor work it really encourages you to stay in school. To anyone who is working there because they have to or are working hard at an extra job in their spare time, my hat is off to you. You do not get payed enough, regardless of what fast food chain you are working for.

+ "body": "<p>Steemit can be daunting when you start. \u00a0You can post on literally anything. \u00a0Or you can spend all your time looking at other posts as you upvote and comment them. \u00a0Both can get you your start in the network and build you steem. \u00a0But with so many people on this site already, and with so many more sure to join, you will want to utilize your time properly if you are going to see results.</p>\n<p>So what are you posting about? \u00a0I recommend sticking with topics that you already have knowledge in at the start of your steemiting (yeah I made that a verb). \u00a0When you already have a handle on the subject you can cut-down/out on time spent on preperation and research. \u00a0I don't recommend getting stuck on one topic, cause you really will miss out if you don't continue to learn, but, when you need to build an account, you don't want to spend too much time reading other work when you need to produce your own. \u00a0When you get a good start on steemit, built up steem power and are comfortable as a writer, then start to branch out. \u00a0</p>\n<p>If you need some topics to post about, here are some ideas:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>life (tell us about your first vacation, or that embarrasing story that always gets a laugh)</li>\n <li>hobbies (sports, gaming, shopping, movies, you have to have something you like to do and something that you are knowledgable about it. \u00a0Find it and share it.)</li>\n <li>teach us something (Where do you work? \u00a0Bring your expertise over to steemit and blog about it)</li>\n <li>photography (Got the eye for it? \u00a0Steemit is also a place where photos and video can be shared.)\u00a0</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Also make sure you give yourself a goal for the day regardless of the results that happen after your first post. \u00a0Tell yourself that you are going to complete two articles today and post them. \u00a0Even if the first article doesn't get well-recieved, don't get discouraged about the second one. \u00a0Get it out of your head and push forward. \u00a0Working hard when things seem glim in a trait that will help you a lot in anything you want to be successful in. \u00a0Anyone can work when things are going well, but those that can make it through the rough patches will see an increase in their chances of success. \u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>Now for the BIG mistake we are all making. \u00a0Have you read the story of Narcissus? \u00a0He thought he was so beautiful that he spent all his time staring at his reflection in the lake. \u00a0Until one day he worried his reflecting was drowning, so he dived in after himself and ended up dead. \u00a0Why am I telling you this story? \u00a0Because like him, we all spend too much time admiring, or checking, our own work. \u00a0Let's be honest, after you put you post out there you are pressing that F5 refresh button like mad to see how your post is doing. \u00a0Then you wait five minutes and check it again. \u00a0Maybe you check it again after another 5 minutes. \u00a0We all do it. \u00a0But this process is not only taking a lot of time but draining our mood and energy. \u00a0If the post is doing well, great, don't get too cocky, just because you had one good post, it does not mean you don't have to work on the next ones. \u00a0And if the post is doing bad, you will just make yourself less and less motivated with every click of the refresh button. \u00a0Don't forget to check your articles later in the day to see what is working and reply to comments, but that time you waste watching how many upvotes you are getting is time that can be better spent elsewhere.\u00a0</p>\n<p>I thought this mirror photo was a nice pick for the Narcissus story "p.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/73s8f9sgl/mirror.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><br /></p>",

I'm not hating at all, good for you for putting in the work and figuring out how to be smart (and honest) about it.

Some of your posts might sky rocket, while others might never get off the ground. Don't take it personally. Sometimes it is the timing of the post. If no one is looking at what is new when your blog is posted it will quickly get pushed down the feed as new posts come. Or maybe it is a topic that is not popular on steemit yet. It might take you some time to build an audience for it. Keep pushing. There are people on here who will support you for your interests because they are happy to have variety on the site. And do take a second to think about what you could do better. Sometimes it is you. Not being mean, EVERY ONE of us has written posts that were less than stellar. Part of getting good at anything is practice, which includes real-world experience of sucking. Has to happen for us all. If your post wasn't great, see why and work to improve it the next time.

Welcome to the internet. Yeah it can be discouraging. I never said it's right. And I think, with networks like steemit, we are starting to move in a direction where quality is what pays. But for now, like every other social media and forum site, random stuff will sometimes blow hard work out of the water. That doesn't mean you should hate on those posts. No one likes a complainer. Do not be one of those jerk crabs that tries to grab the escaping crap and pull them back into the bucket (to anyone thinking, okay that was random, read the steemit whitepaper for the story of the crabs). Neither should you stop trying to improve yourself and your work. Instead focus on what you want the site to look like and what posts you think should be rewarded. Remember steemit is new. If you want it to thrive as a place for intelligent articles then post intelligent articles. Upvote and seach for intelligent articles. It is an open space to grow as each of you sees fit.

+ "body": "<p>hey steemit and more particulary the user who made @cheetah,</p>\n<p>I'm not sure where I stand on bots being used, I am more familar with sites where it was clearly frowned upon to use them. \u00a0But if the sites owners allow bots to be used (and not abused) and people are okay with that, then I understand if people use them. \u00a0However I do feel that bots needs to be clearly labled in their name (maybe a symbol or something could be attached to every one) so users know the difference. \u00a0This post is mostly written for the user behind the @cheetah bot, which comes up when you repost an article. \u00a0First of all, kudos for trying to stop plagerism and making things easier for curators. \u00a0I'm not posting to give you shit, I see you are working to improve the system. \u00a0I just want to suggest that, if you can, can you change the parameters of your bot so that if it is the same user who posted something then the bot will not detect the post. \u00a0If it is decided that reposting is not allowed, then I encourage your bot to stop it, but right now, with a system that has a lot of posts, I think it is okay to resuse a post. \u00a0My rule is it is okay to reuse a post if it didn't do well and if it is a post that did well, then wait a period of time before you can repost it. \u00a0I might change the latter rule when I get more established on the system and feel more comfortable working to bring all new and exclusvie articles.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/mj7r8e41n/robot.jpg\" /></p>",

This is why cryptocurrency cannot stand on it's one without a fiat currency. \u00a0Steem didn't just have value because it was mined and now people want it so it's value is rising. \u00a0Steemit had a $20 million dollar investment of real money that gave the steem value. \u00a0When the steem was created it was paired with a real world value, so that the steem was already worth the equivilant of something in the real world (in this case USD). \u00a0Then they gave a percentage out to the people who would in turn us it and want more it, increasing its value. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>Like a Diamond \u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>I like to think of cryptocurrency as a diamond and maybe just because the mining metaphor works so well as does the 'diamonds are forever' saying. \u00a0Diamonds in themselves are fairly useless. \u00a0They do have some functions if you cut them properly and they are shiny (so shiny). \u00a0But like cryptocurrency, you can't eat it, wear it or accomplish anything with it. \u00a0Yet if someone asked if you wanted a sandwhich or a large diamond, you would take the diamond (unless you were literally about to starve to death). \u00a0Cryptopcurrency works the same way. \u00a0Each steem or bitcoin can be seen as a coin that is worth a lot more in value then it is in actual worth. \u00a0And why is it worth that value, because, like a diamond, someone is willing to pay you cash money to own it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/8rl43so05/Mon.jpg\" /></p>",

+ "body": "<p>First of all, congratulations to everyone who is making good money from their posts. \u00a0I'm not hating at all, good for you for putting in the work and figuring out how to be smart (and honest) about it. \u00a0If you are on the lower end of the spectrum or are just joining (welcome) know that it is possible to make money here if you work and work smart. \u00a0I literally just joined this site about a month ago and I know nobody here, so don't worry about feeling excluded. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>But No One Liked My Post \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>It happens. \u00a0Some of your posts might sky rocket, while others might never get off the ground. \u00a0Don't take it personally. \u00a0Sometimes it is the timing of the post. \u00a0If no one is looking at what is new when your blog is posted it will quickly get pushed down the feed as new posts come. \u00a0Or maybe it is a topic that is not popular on steemit yet. \u00a0It might take you some time to build an audience for it. \u00a0Keep pushing. \u00a0There are people on here who will support you for your interests because they are happy to have variety on the site. \u00a0And do take a second to think about what you could do better. \u00a0\u00a0Sometimes it is you. \u00a0Not being mean, EVERY ONE of us has written posts that were less than stellar. \u00a0Part of getting good at anything is practice, which includes real-world experience of sucking. \u00a0Has to happen for us all. \u00a0If your post wasn't great, see why and work to improve it the next time. \u00a0But again, never take it personally. \u00a0Even the greatest writers have written garbage. \u00a0The difference is they tear it up and drink themselves to sleep while we post it on the internet. \u00a0We are more public about our failures nowadays. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>\u00a0Be Happy For The Success Of Others \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>You say you spent a couple of days or weeks working hard on an article that no one liked, while someone took a quick photo of their cat and made thousands of dollars. \u00a0Welcome to the internet. \u00a0Yeah it can be discouraging. \u00a0I never said it's right. \u00a0And I think, with networks like steemit, we are starting to move in a direction where quality is what pays. \u00a0But for now, like every other social media and forum site, random stuff will sometimes blow hard work out of the water. \u00a0That doesn't mean you should hate on those posts. \u00a0No one likes a complainer. \u00a0Do not be one of those jerk crabs that tries to grab the escaping crap and pull them back into the bucket (to anyone thinking, okay that was random, read the steemit whitepaper for the story of the crabs). \u00a0Neither should you stop trying to improve yourself and your work. \u00a0Instead focus on what you want the site to look like and what posts you think should be rewarded. Remember steemit is new. \u00a0If you want it to thrive as a place for intelligent articles then post intelligent articles. \u00a0Upvote and seach for intelligent articles. \u00a0It is an open space to grow as each of you sees fit. \u00a0And it is a big enough space that though-provoking debates and fart jokes can exist side-by-side. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p><br /></p>",

The amounts are still not set but even if it is low it is still payment to vote. \u00a0There are a lot worse ways to make money. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong>\u2022But don't just scroll and upvote everything you see. \u00a0Integrity goes a long way to keeping a system fair. \u00a0And your voting power takes time to reset to full. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong>\u2022WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD AND KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE! \u00a0There is no password recovery system here. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong>\u2022There are several free image hosting sites you can use to link photos from. \u00a0Upload your photo, copy the link and post it in the image box. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong>\u2022The Steemit white paper is like an instruction manual. \u00a0Keep in mind changes are still being made. \u00a0Read it here. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong>\u2022Take time with your title, make it catchy without being misleading. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong>\u2022Your blog tab is all the "submit a story" you posted, while the post tab includes your comments as well. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong>\u2022Steemit is not a link farm. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong>\u2022Post your own work. \u00a0Even camera phone photos are better than ones from the net. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong>\u2022If you post photography make sure you add something that lets people know it is your photo. \u00a0You don't want people to not upvote it becuase they don't know if it is taken from the internet or not and no one wants to do an image search on every photo. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong>\u2022And finally, don't be an ass. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This is more of a tip for life in general but hey, it applies here too. \u00a0</strong></h3>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/df8sdqh6j/steemit.jpg\" /></p>",

+ "body": "<p>I can tell you from experience, almost nobody who works at a call center wants to work at a call centre. They do not want to be there nor do they want to call you about whatever it is they are calling you about. So when somone calls you at a time when you are a busy and you make it clear to them, that you, have no desire to be on the phone with them, I assure you, that they, probably have no desire to be on the phone with you. They are not even the ones who dial the phone number to call you, it is literally a machine that dials your number and then your name pops up on the screen in front of them. They might be allowed some leeway to what they say to you but basically it is a hi and before they talk about whatever it is they are supposed to sell you. A lot of these employees do not even work for the company of the product they are trying to pitch. Call centres are owned by third parties who make calls on behalf of other companies. The person on the phone probably does not have stocks or interest in the company. They probably do not even get paid well to call you and bug you about whatever it is the company wants to bug you about. So when the poor bastard calls you, even if it is at the worse possible time, try to be nice to them. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>The place I worked was above a mall. You would not even know it was there unless you had to visit it. The space was fairly large, an open area that was littered with rows and rows of desks. On each desk was a computer and a headset. You would sit at the desk, put the headset on, click that you are ready to go and the calls would start. A screen would pop up with the name of the person you are suppose to talk with and then you would go into your spiel of what you were trying to sell. When the person said no (as was the large majority of your calls) you would need to click a reason of why they said no before letting the call go before moving on to the next one. The time you waited in between was called downtime. This didn't last, it was ususally a few seconds before the next call came on. You don't even decide to take the call, as long as you are on the clock the calls keep coming. There is an option to pause it, but when you do a clock comes up that counts the time you are on break. Oh and when you are finished with a call and need to pick a reason you didn't get the sale, you are timed for that too. So that way you cannot hide in the menus between calls. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>Every once in awhile someone would say yes. In order for the sale to go through it needs to be a clear YES on the phone (the calls are recorded). If it is not a clear yes, then you need to verify the positive affirmation again to make sure. Then comes the verbatim terms of the product. It was literally two pages long of terms and conditions that you had to read to the client word for word. If you messed up on any of it, then the quality team who listens to the sale could deny it. A lot of the times it is difficult to keep the person on the phone as you bore them with the terms, so you need to talk fast. To motivate you there is a team leader. Every dozen or so computers are sectioned off into a team. In front of each team is a whiteboard. This board has everybody's name on it and a space beside it where the team leader would write down how many sales you were getting. It could be pretty daunting to see how badly you are doing on the board in front of you. You are told that you are required to get so many sales an hour (it was usally 1-point-something, a number that was not easy to get) and they would check up on you if you are having trouble getting sales. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>The saddest part of working there is how much no one wants to be there. You will probably never find a man or a woman who is there because that is the job they wanted. No one growing up says I want to be a telemarketer. There are people who have dreams of doing something else and are waiting for their chance, to young adults finding there way in the workforce, to parents looking for income for their family.

+ "body": "<p>I can tell you from experience, almost nobody who works at a call center wants to work at a call centre. They do not want to be there nor do they want to call you about whatever it is they are calling you about. So when somone calls you at a time when you are a busy and you make it clear to them, that you, have no desire to be on the phone with them, I assure you, that they, probably have no desire to be on the phone with you. They are not even the ones who dial the phone number to call you, it is literally a machine that dials your number and then your name pops up on the screen in front of them. They might be allowed some leeway to what they say to you but basically it is a hi and before they talk about whatever it is they are supposed to sell you. A lot of these employees do not even work for the company of the product they are trying to pitch. Call centres are owned by third parties who make calls on behalf of other companies. The person on the phone probably does not have stocks or interest in the company. They probably do not even get paid well to call you and bug you about whatever it is the company wants to bug you about. So when the poor bastard calls you, even if it is at the worse possible time, try to be nice to them. \u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>\u00a0The place I worked was above a mall. You would not even know it was there unless you had to visit it. The space was fairly large, an open area that was littered with rows and rows of desks. On each desk was a computer and a headset. You would sit at the desk, put the headset on, click that you are ready to go and the calls would start. A screen would pop up with the name of the person you are suppose to talk with and then you would go into your spiel of what you were trying to sell. When the person said no (as was the large majority of your calls) you would need to click a reason of why they said no before letting the call go before moving on to the next one. The time you waited in between was called downtime. This didn't last, it was ususally a few seconds before the next call came on. You don't even decide to take the call, as long as you are on the clock the calls keep coming. There is an option to pause it, but when you do a clock comes up that counts the time you are on break. Oh and when you are finished with a call and need to pick a reason you didn't get the sale, you are timed for that too. So that way you cannot hide in the menus between calls. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>Every once in awhile someone would say yes. In order for the sale to go through it needs to be a clear YES on the phone (the calls are recorded). If it is not a clear yes, then you need to verify the positive affirmation again to make sure. Then comes the verbatim terms of the product. It was literally two pages long of terms and conditions that you had to read to the client word for word. If you messed up on any of it, then the quality team who listens to the sale could deny it. A lot of the times it is difficult to keep the person on the phone as you bore them with the terms, so you need to talk fast. To motivate you there is a team leader. Every dozen or so computers are sectioned off into a team. In front of each team is a whiteboard. This board has everybody's name on it and a space beside it where the team leader would write down how many sales you were getting. It could be pretty daunting to see how badly you are doing on the board in front of you. You are told that you are required to get so many sales an hour (it was usally 1-point-something, a number that was not easy to get) and they would check up on you if you are having trouble getting sales. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>The saddest part of working there is how much no one wants to be there. You will probably never find a man or a woman who is there because that is the job they wanted. No one growing up says I want to be a telemarketer. There are people who have dreams of doing something else and are waiting for their chance, to young adults finding there way in the workforce, to parents looking for income for their family. It was kinda depressing. And the turnaround rate in ridiclous. I remember how many times you would see a new class of trainees learning the ropes of the system. The job is not one I would recommend to anyone unless you need the work and if you do, know that there are people out there that feel your pain.</p>",

+ "body": "<p>About ten years ago, maybe five, internet dating got saddled with this idea that if you use it there was something wrong with you. \u00a0That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. \u00a0But the same things were said when you were a nerd. \u00a0It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool if you are not one. \u00a0Things and people change. \u00a0So @funny is announcing that internet dating is no longer something to scoff at. \u00a0Why do I say this? \u00a0Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>You Mean You Have A Personality \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. \u00a0It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. \u00a0I'm not going to argue how important looks are, or are are not, in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. \u00a0There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. \u00a0And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. \u00a0But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. \u00a0It may not be a lot but it is something. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>Get To Know The Person First \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>\u00a0So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. \u00a0You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. \u00a0But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. \u00a0Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. \u00a0That is great, but what did you really learn about the person. \u00a0I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. \u00a0Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. \u00a0But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. \u00a0There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. \u00a0For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>Less Pressure \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. \u00a0You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. \u00a0There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. \u00a0And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. \u00a0It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. \u00a0And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. \u00a0No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>I Don't Have The Time To Meet People \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>That isn't just an excuse. \u00a0People are busy and dating takes time. \u00a0Meeting people even takes time. \u00a0When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. \u00a0That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. \u00a0There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. \u00a0Plus it gets expensive. \u00a0There are cover charges, costs of transport, drinks. \u00a0And if you do meet someone you can only get to know them so much in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. \u00a0It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>I'm Shy \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with being shy. \u00a0Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. \u00a0Who cares. \u00a0You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. \u00a0And maybe you are a bit "weird" by some people's standards. \u00a0Again, who cares. \u00a0Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being socially awkward. \u00a0But if you are, so what, good for you. \u00a0We all have our quirks. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0</p>\n<p>Now I know there are negatives. \u00a0There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. \u00a0It is not perfect. \u00a0And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. \u00a0It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so.</p>",

I like to hit the ball, but the whole catching and throwing thing was not for me. I couldn't kick in soccer and apparently you need something called co-ordination for tennis. Basketball required dribbling, so that was out and football was a time to chill on the bench. I never played rugby but I'm sure I would suck at it. Golf is a no unless it is mini. Surfing involves balance and I would sink like a stone at the first wave. Skateboarding lead to ripped pants and scrapped knees. I was not winning an olympic medal when we did our track and field events in school. Hockey, ha! I was happy if I didn't fall on my ass when I was skating. I was not bad at bowling, so that is something. The point is (if there is a point) is if you did suck at sports, you are not alone. I wanted to be on the bench with a pad and a pencil drawing. So if you are or were like me, don't sweat it, find your own ways to stay in shape, eat right and embarce your lack of strength, speed and co-ordination.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/m5tnws97p/baseball.jpg\" /></p>",

But for whatever it\u2019s worth, I should like to add my praise and gratitude as a fellow director for the unearthly and brilliant contribution you have made to the world by your films (I have never been in Sweden and have therefore never had the pleasure of seeing your theatre work).\n\nYour vision of life has moved me deeply, much more deeply than I have ever been moved by any films. I believe you are the greatest film-maker at work today. Beyond that, allow me to say you are unsurpassed by anyone in the creation of mood and atmosphere, the subtlety of performance, the avoidance of the obvious, the truthfulness and completeness of characterization. To this one must also add everything else that goes into the making of a film.\n\nI believe you are blessed with wonderful actors. Max von Sydow and Ingrid Thulin live vividly in my memory, and there are many others in your acting company whose names escape me. I wish you and all of them the very best of luck, and I shall look forward with eagerness to each of your films.\n\nBest Regards,\n\nStanley Kubrick",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>I had decided to stop posting these, since my last post was getting flack from some of the other witnesses (see comments in my previous witness post for details), but a couple of other people have since commented asking me to resume posting, so I've decided to start posting these again anyways. If other whales want to downvote these posts, so be it, I suppose my reputation score can stand the hit.</p>\n<p>Depending on how much I have to say at any given time, these posts may not be strictly weekly. Over the next two weeks, I have a really busy schedule related to <a href=\"http://www.peerplays.com/\">Peerplays project</a> deadlines, so I probably won't post during that time unless something important comes up.</p>\n<p>One thing I did like about making these posts weekly is it was a nice way to keep track of where my time goes. Two weeks have gone by, and it's already hard for me to remember exactly what we worked on during that time. I used to think I have a really great memory, but it seems to work better for facts/figures than for daily events, especially when my days tend to consist of jumping back and forth between a lot of different tasks. Sometimes I long for the days when I could just focus on one task for a long stretch of time. But it's hard to report on those tasks too, since then you sometimes struggle to say more than \u201ccontinued work on x\u201d unless you can figure out some nice way to describe your sub-goals in a way that makes sense to anyone besides yourself.</p>\n<h3>What I remember of the last week or so...</h3>\n<p>Not surprisingly, the thing I remember best is what I've done in the past few days. We've just added some new Steem-related trading pairs to <a href=\"https://blocktrades.us\">BlockTrades</a>:</p>\n<p>STEEM \u2192 ETH</p>\n<p> STEEM \u2192 DOGE </p>\n<p>STEEM \u2192 DASH </p>\n<p>STEEM \u2192 LTC </p>\n<p>(we already had the other direction for these pairs)<br>\nNew bidirectional paths for Steem Dollars: </p>\n<p>SBD <-> ETH</p>\n<p>SBD <-> DOGE</p>\n<p>SBD <-> DASH</p>\n<p>SBD <-> LTC<br>\nWe'll also be adding support for some new coins soon and we'll add Steem/SBD pairs for those coins too.</p>\n<h3>The Politics of Steem</h3>\n<p>On the political side of Steem, the debate continues as to where Steem and Steemit should \u201cgo\u201d next. I continue to oppose to what I consider premature \u201ctinkering\u201d to the voting and curation system. The most recent case of this is <a href=\"https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/323\">https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/323</a>. At the very least, as suggested by some other witnesses, I think the threshold for such a vote should be more than a majority (at least 2/3 of all witnesses, for example). I've also heard several other curation-related proposals which I don't think have yet made it to the stage of github issues, but I haven't heard any yet that I think have a solid story to support them: they seem more like experiments to me, and I think experimenting with the heart of the value proposition for Steem Power is a risky operation.</p>\n<p>Instead of tweaking the curation system, I'm still advocating for more changes to the front-end of Steemit. This is because I believe that Steem is first and foremost an open, decentralized social media platform and that the user experience is more important than the rewards system. The platform should be easier to join, doing things like adding images, audio, and video should be extremely easy for novice users, the tagging system should work better, there should be more ways for users to interact with each other, there should a clear place on the Steemit site to get help and find information about site usage, and the latest revision of the post editor feels terrible to me (this is the first big post I've made using this version so I hadn't noticed it till now, but ultimately I resorted to editing this post in a separate editor using raw HTML). Everyday billions of people use social media sites that are tightly controlled by the site owners and who pay nothing to their users. If we focus on adding the types of features those sites already have and keep our system open and free, with the chance for rewards, I think we're sitting on a winning combination.</p>\n<p>I do believe that the rewards system is an important force for attracting new users, but I think it's inevitable that not everyone is going to be able to make lots of money by authoring articles. First, most people aren't great writers (I hope this point isn't too controversial). Second, non-native English speakers are at a distinct disadvantage when trying to write English articles and the majority of powerful voters read English.</p>\n<p>One way that we can spread rewards around to users that aren't great English writers is to accept the idea that finding good articles and translating articles written in other languages is a useful function, as long as proper attribution is given to the original source. And if we're willing to give decent rewards to such posts, I think we will reduce the cases of unattributed copy-paste posting. Note, this doesn't require any changes to the code of Steem or Steemit, this is just a proposal for a cultural change.</p>\n<h3>Final Note</h3>\n<p>I met with the Steem team for lunch last week, and I was pleased to see they had added two new members to the team, including a new front-end web programmer. But I still think they can use more web guys, so if you're a skilled javascript programmer, I hope you will consider sending your resume to Ned. I think they generally favor employees who are willing to relocate, but if you're a rockstar maybe you can negotiate the point if it's an issue for you.</p>\n</html>",

But for whatever it\u2019s worth, I should like to add my praise and gratitude as a fellow director for the unearthly and brilliant contribution you have made to the world by your films (I have never been in Sweden and have therefore never had the pleasure of seeing your theatre work).\n\nYour vision of life has moved me deeply, much more deeply than I have ever been moved by any films. I believe you are the greatest film-maker at work today. Beyond that, allow me to say you are unsurpassed by anyone in the creation of mood and atmosphere, the subtlety of performance, the avoidance of the obvious, the truthfulness and completeness of characterization. To this one must also add everything else that goes into the making of a film.\n\nI believe you are blessed with wonderful actors. Max von Sydow and Ingrid Thulin live vividly in my memory, and there are many others in your acting company whose names escape me. I wish you and all of them the very best of luck, and I shall look forward with eagerness to each of your films.\n\nBest Regards,\n\nStanley Kubrick",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>It was on New Years Eve. I was spending the night with a friend, nothing too exciting, when out of the blue I could not hear out of my left ear. I mean nothing. So being a bit of a worrier, I wanted to fix it ASAP. I went to the washroom and grabbed a Qtip. I figured it was just a little clogged, I would clean it out and that would be that. But the Qtip did nothing. So I went back to what I was doing. It was only a clog, it would clear itself out eventually. But then the pain started. Not a gentle irritation but a painful throbbing. Like, I need to go to the hospital kind of pain. So that is what I ended up doing. I sat in the emergency waiting room as my ear ached. I don't remember how long it took but it was some time before I made it in a room (a first hand experience of just one reason why we need to increase funding to hospitals). There was nothing they could do. They gave me a perscription for some asprin threes, which did little to nothing to help. I had to wait it out. It was a long day after where I could barely sleep. Eventually the pain started to go away in waves and became less and less severe. But even then it still took months before my hearing returned to normal. It was odd showering and hearing the water like it was going through a filter. What I think might of happened was I had a infection that I ended up pushing back with the Qtip into a part of the ear that was smaller and tighter. Which lead to a painful couple of days. So in conclusion, no matter how much you start to panic when you can't hear out of one of your ears, DO NOT stick anything in it. They have that warning on the Qtip box for a reason.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/z9x11ln0r/qtip.jpg\" width=\"574\" height=\"616\"/></p>\n</html>",

I'm sure even the smartest people have missed a company they probably wished they had invested their time or money in. You are not alone. Yeah it can leave you with that punch in the gut feeling </p>\n<p>Take A Deep Breath </p>\n<p>FUCK! </p>\n<p>Feel better? </p>\n<p>Yeah there is going to be a period of frustration. Go for a run or hit the gym. Blow it off. But don't dwell on it. There will ALWAYS be another opportunity to capatilze on. That is the secret. But if you waste your time with regret of what could have been you are going to miss out on what is coming next. Keep looking forward and keep looking outward. If you are focused on your field it is easy to feel like another opportunity like the one that passed in your field will not happen again in your lifetime. The key is realizing it may not be in your field. It may be something you have never heard of. Take steemit for example. How many people knew nothing of blockchains but learned about it and spotted an opportunity when the site was new. This carries over to everything. There will always be a next big thing and if you are willing to widen your scope (if only for investment purposes) you will pick up on more of them. It takes a little more work then when it is something that is in your scope of expertise, but taking some time to spot an opportunity while still staying in your field can help you build the capitial you need to continue to pursue your field of choice. </p>\n<p>You Didn't Actually Lose Anything I know me telling you this is probably not helping, but it is true. Losing an opportunity is not the same as losing something you actually have. If you knew about the opportunity after the fact, knew about it before and decided not to do anything or didn't know about it at all, the results are all the same. Technically, even if the opportunity never existsed, you are in the same boat then if it did and you didn't act. What is causing any frustration is the knowing that you have missed out, which means, quite literally, that it is all in your head. There are probably dozens of opportunities you are missing a month that are not even on your radar and you don't loss sleep over an of them (and no, don't start thinking about all those other missed opportunities). The loss of what could have been hits as badly as if we actually had it. It is even something you might feel more suddenly than losing something you actually had. That is because we, as forward thinkers, are visualizing what will be and since that is what is in our head, we feel the lose of possibilites quite instantly. While feeling the loss for something you had may take more time as we tend to take for granted what is in our life. So dust yourself off, raise your head and look forward to the next big thing.</p>\n</html>",

We know you want us to buy your drink, wear your shoes and see your movies. You want us to see cool people using your product and have us see enough of it that it appears in our dreams. But we don't need to be tricked. And we don't want to be lied to. You don't need to \"sell\" us anything. If you present people with something they might want to try or buy, they might actually be happy to click on the ad or watch the commerical. The process should not be one of selling but informing, and letting people decide for themselves. But in order to do this the advertisement needs to match the content where the ad is being placed. </p>\n<p>IT COMES DOWN TO THE WHERE </p>\n<p>Look at movie theatre previews. Everybody loves them. A lot of people even make sure they show up early so they don't miss them. Technically those previews as just ads. Ads for other movies you might want to see. But why do people enjoy them? Because the odds are that the people who are at the movies are people who like to go to the movies. This is an audience who is interested in what is coming up next. However when you start to play commercials for other prodcuts before a film, it may lower the chances of an interested audience. It is the same regardless of media and topic. If you are watching a golf tournament, previews about other golf events might be of interest. But a commercial for a new clothing line has a higher chance of being a miss. Same for ads on websites, I have seen ads on social media that I would never click on, ads for products that I would have no use for. </p>\n<p> A.I. DATA MINING FTL </p>\n<p>Now please don't take this as permission to go through all my data so you can find my favourite band and show me ads of other songs I might like. I kinda like having some semblance of privacy on the net. I don't want ads aimed at me but aimed at the area of interest that the content I am viewing is about. Because you never know what new things, in a field that you are interested in, that you may like. And maybe I will dislike what you are showing me and be annoyed that you are keeping me from the content I am trying to view. Which brings me to my next point. </p>\n<p> IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE! </p>\n<p>Ads can become a problem when they obscure or delay your viewing of the content you want. Even if the ad might be something you are interested in, it does not need to block the content at hand. Personally I don't mind click ads on the side of a website or links that I should check out. It can take away from the design of the site but as long as they do not hinder what I am reading, looking at or watching, then go ahead and tell me, with honesty, what you want me to look at next. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/rgbg3e5cl/ads.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"119\"/></p>\n</html>",

This includes ice at the polar caps, in glaciers, etc. There are 2 main types of bodies of liquid water: fresh water and salt water. The level of salt in salt water can vary considerably. Water can dissolve both solids and gas needed by life. Warm water dissolves solids better than cold, while cold water dissolves gasses better than warm. This is why there are often rich biological environments in cold waters. Most fresh water occurs as smaller inland bodies-like lakes and rivers. While it is the oceans that are salt water, fresh water can also be found underground in reservoirs or aquifers. A large percentage of the liquid water on Earth is in the oceans. When we look at Earth\u2019s oceans we can divide them into the 3 main regions: Neretic Zone, Shallow Zone, and the Abyssal Zone. These zones are divided by water depth. Neretic Zone these are the shallowest regions of the oceans. This includes things like the shore lines, intertidal pools, etc. This makes up only a very small percentage. Shallow Zone: this is defined as the depth to which sunlight can penetrate or roughly 300. Within this zone photosynthesis is possible. Abyssal Zone: these are the depths to which light cannot penetrate. Life in these regions must depend either on organic material that sinks down, or on other energy sources than photosynthesis, generally this would be volcanic activity. Water has a high heat capacity. This means the oceans and other bodies of water can store large amounts of heat. This helps to regulate the temperature of the planet. Both the atmosphere and the hydrosphere are fluids, so they can flow. It is from this motion that we see the weather produced. The motions in the atmosphere and oceans result from 2 warm processes. These are convection and the coriolis force. Convection is the process whereby heat rises. In the atmosphere warm air can evaporate water and rise with it to higher altitudes. This produces clouds. In the oceans currents can arise as warm water rises or cold water sinks. The other force that helps produce both air and water currents is the coriolis force. This force is a result of Earth\u2019s spin. This force causes the atmosphere to circulate in cells where the winds blow at high altitude in particular in constant directions. The air currents can carry either warm or cool air with them. There are also currents in the oceans that are either warm or cold. The combination of water and air and their movement produces weather. One important cycle that comes out of this interaction is what we call the hydrocycle. In this cycle water evaporates, is carried on the wind currents and is dropped elsewhere. This moves water around the globe, but the flow of water can also carry other materials that are necessary for life on Earth.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/v30p5xqtn/earth.jpg\" width=\"420\" height=\"407\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>About ten years ago, maybe five, internet dating got saddled with this idea that if you use it there was something wrong with you. That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. But the same things were said when you were a nerd. It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool if you are not one. Things and people change. So @funny is announcing that internet dating is no longer something to scoff at. Why do I say this? Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. </p>\n<p>You Mean You Have A Personality </p>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. I'm not going to argue how important looks are, or are are not, in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. It may not be a lot but it is something. </p>\n<p>Get To Know The Person First </p>\n<p>So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. That is great, but what did you really learn about the person. I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. </p>\n<p>Less Pressure </p>\n<p>It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. </p>\n<p>I Don't Have The Time To Meet People </p>\n<p>That isn't just an excuse. People are busy and dating takes time. Meeting people even takes time. When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. Plus it gets expensive. There are cover charges, costs of transport, drinks. And if you do meet someone you can only get to know them so much in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. </p>\n<p> I'm Shy </p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with being shy. Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. Who cares. You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. And maybe you are a bit \"weird\" by some people's standards. Again, who cares. Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being socially awkward. But if you are, so what, good for you. We all have our quirks. </p>\n<p>Now I know there are negatives. There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. It is not perfect. And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/fwffuf12z/date.jpg\" width=\"402\" height=\"600\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>I will admit, I was one of those kids who was not a fan of gym. You know the ones. The ones that hope the three outs pass before the ball makes it to the outfield. Come on strike-out! I like to hit the ball, but the whole catching and throwing thing was not for me. I couldn't kick in soccer and apparently you need something called co-ordination for tennis. Basketball required dribbling, so that was out and football was a time to chill on the bench. I never played rugby but I'm sure I would suck at it. Golf is a no unless it is mini. Surfing involves balance and I would sink like a stone at the first wave. Skateboarding lead to ripped pants and scrapped knees. I was not winning an olympic medal when we did our track and field events in school. Hockey, ha! I was happy if I didn't fall on my ass when I was skating. I was not bad at bowling, so that is something. The point is (if there is a point) is if you did suck at sports, you are not alone. I wanted to be on the bench with a pad and a pencil drawing. So if you are or were like me, don't sweat it, find your own ways to stay in shape, eat right and embarce your lack of strength, speed and co-ordination.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/g6e73t6o5/baseball.jpg\" width=\"616\" height=\"574\"/></p>\n</html>",

This has been done by creating more jobs and raising the minimum wage. But maybe that is not the right way to go about it. You can increase the wealth as much as you want, but if the cost rises with it, you will be stuck with the same problem. However if you decrease the cost of things that people can use to increase their wealth as well the decrease the cost of living, it can lead to a better dispursion of wealth. </p>\n<p> Increasing Wealth </p>\n<p> Regardless of where you are in the world, odds are that minimum wage needs to be increased. 15 dollars an hour should not be something that may happen in the future. It is too difficult for people to live of those wages and even if they do manage to get by, it limits the growth potentional when all their time is spent working dead-end jobs that care not for the growth of their employees. But increasing the wages as inflation increases is not enough. There is no progress here but only a side-step. And worse when it doesn't happen, it makes it harder for people who are struggling. There needs to be an influx of cash distrubtion to the lower class if we are to see a fairer system. The problem is that money has to come from somwhere and although the wealthy should be giving back, if the people who had money were inclined to give it, they would have done so already (maybe one day). There is the government, which can go a long way in helping to spread the wealth better, but we have yet to fix a system where the 1% thrive. </p>\n<p>Decreasing Cost </p>\n<p>What if everything that you needed was free? Imagine you didn't have to pay for food, or water, housing or electricity. Or the internet. How about education? Think about how much it would free you to work on the field of your choice and actually improve in that field if you are more focused on the work than the money. I'm not saying to eliminate wealth, if people want to spend their money on a fancy sports car, that is their choice, but everyone should be able to afford transport. If wealth is to stay (which looks like the way it will be as those with wealth will not want to just rid of their wealth) that does not mean you have to penalize those at the bottom. Money is a useless frivilous thing and if it is used to buy useless frivilous things is one thing, but when it is needed to eat and warm yourself we have a problem. If we can make the world more afforable for everyone it will lead to more opportunites for the lower class while still letting the super-rich keep their wealth.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/do5uqzbor/Mon.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"119\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>About ten years ago, maybe five, internet dating got saddled with this idea that if you use it there was something wrong with you. That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. But the same things were said when you were a nerd. It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool now if you are not one. Things and people change. So @funny is announcing that internet dating is not for losers. Why do I say this? Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. </p>\n<p>You Mean You Have A Personality </p>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. I'm not going to argue how important looks are or are not in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. It may not be a lot but it is something. </p>\n<p>Get To Know The Person First </p>\n<p>So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. That is great, but what did you really learn about the person? I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. </p>\n<p>Less Pressure </p>\n<p>It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. </p>\n<p>I Don't Have The Time To Meet People </p>\n<p>That isn't jsut an excuse. People are busy and dating takes time. Meeting people even takes time. When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. Plus it gets expensive. There are cover charges, costs of transport and drinks. And if you do meet someone you can only get to know so much about them in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. </p>\n<p>I'm Shy </p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with being shy. Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. Who cares. You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. And maybe you are a bit \"weird\" by some people's standards. Again, who cares. Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being socially awkward. But if you are, so what, good for you. We all have our quirks. </p>\n<p>Now I know there are negatives. There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. It is not perfect. And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/gj21ohlx7/date.jpg\" width=\"402\" height=\"600\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Before I start I want to say depending on how blockchains work and networks like steemit, this article may become obsolete. But for now ads are not going anywhere anytime soon, so let's discuss ways of making them less annoying. </p>\n<p>BUT ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE DOING IT </p>\n<p>The world we live in now is one of transparency. Everyone understands, in some extent, how advertising works. We are not stupid. We know you want us to buy your drink, wear your shoes and see your movies. You want us to see cool people using your product and have us see enough of it that it appears in our dreams. But we don't need to be tricked. And we don't want to be lied to. You don't need to \"sell\" us anything. If you present people with something they might want to try or buy, they might actually be happy to click on the ad or watch the commerical. The process should not be one of selling but informing, and letting people decide for themselves. But in order to do this the advertisement needs to match the content where the ad is being placed. </p>\n<p>IT COMES DOWN TO THE WHERE </p>\n<p>Look at movie theatre previews. Everybody loves them. A lot of people even make sure they show up early so they don't miss them. Technically those previews as just ads. Ads for other movies you might want to see. But why do people enjoy them? Because the odds are that the people who are at the movies are people who like to go to the movies. This is an audience who is interested in what is coming up next. However when you start to play commercials for other prodcuts before a film, it may lower the chances of a captivated audience. It is the same regardless of media and topic. If you are watching a golf tournament, previews about other golf events might be of interest. But a commercial for a new clothing line has a higher chance of being a miss. Same for ads on websites, I have seen ads on social media that I would never click on, ads for products that I would have no use for. </p>\n<p>A.I. DATA MINING FTL </p>\n<p>Now please don't take this as permission to go through all my data so you can find my favourite band and show me ads of other songs I might like. I kinda like having some semblance of privacy on the net. I don't want ads aimed at me but aimed at the area of interest that the content I am viewing is about. Because you never know what new things, in a field that you are interested in, that you may like. And maybe I will dislike what you are showing me and be annoyed that you are keeping me from the content I am trying to view. Which brings me to my next point. </p>\n<p>IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE! </p>\n<p>Ads can become a problem when they obscure or delay your viewing of the content you want. Even if the ad might be something you are interested in, it does not need to block the content at hand. Personally I don't mind click ads on the side of a website or links that I should check out. It can take away from the aesthetics of the site but as long as they do not hinder what I am reading, looking at or watching, then go ahead and tell me, with honesty, what you want me to look at next. </p>\n<p>That is just my two cents. How do you feel about ads?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/lguwmyhh1/ads.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"119\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>About ten years ago, maybe five, internet dating got saddled with this idea that if you use it there was something wrong with you. That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. But the same things were said when you were a nerd. It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool if you are not one. Things and people change. So @funny is announcing that internet dating is not for losers. Why do I say this? Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. </p>\n<p><strong>You Mean You Have A Personality </strong> </p>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. I'm not going to argue how important looks are, or are are not, in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. It may not be a lot but it is something. </p>\n<p><strong>Get To Know The Person First </strong> </p>\n<p>So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. That is great, but what did you really learn about the person. I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. It was loud, I didn't hear, not for my fault. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. </p>\n<p><strong>Less Pressure </strong> </p>\n<p>It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. </p>\n<p><strong>I Don't Have The Time To Meet People </strong> </p>\n<p>That isn't jsut an excuse. People are busy and dating takes time. Meeting people even takes time. When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. Plus it gets expensive. There are cover charges, costs of transport, drinks. And if you do meet someone you can only get to know them so much in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. </p>\n<p><strong>I'm Shy </strong> </p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with being shy. Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. Who cares. You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. And maybe you are a bit \"weird\" by some people's standards. Again, who cares. Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being social awkward. But if you are, so what, good for you. We all have our quirks. </p>\n<p>Now I know there are negatives. There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. It is not perfect. And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/epirwfkz9/date.jpg\" width=\"536\" height=\"800\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>The hydrosphere is the water part of the Earth\u2019s surface. 70% or more of Earth\u2019s surface is actually covered in water. This includes ice at the polar caps, in glaciers, etc. There are 2 main types of bodies of liquid water: fresh water and salt water. The level of salt in salt water can vary considerably. Water can dissolve both solids and gas needed by life. Warm water dissolves solids better than cold, while cold water dissolves gasses better than warm. This is why there are often rich biological environments in cold waters. Most fresh water occurs as smaller inland bodies-like lakes and rivers. While it is the oceans that are salt water, fresh water can also be found underground in reservoirs or aquifers. A large percentage of the liquid water on Earth is in the oceans. When we look at Earth\u2019s oceans we can divide them into the 3 main regions: Neretic Zone, Shallow Zone, and the Abyssal Zone. These zones are divided by water depth. Neretic Zone these are the shallowest regions of the oceans. This includes things like the shore lines, intertidal pools, etc. This makes up only a very small percentage. Shallow Zone: this is defined as the depth to which sunlight can penetrate or roughly 300. Within this zone photosynthesis is possible. Abyssal Zone: these are the depths to which light cannot penetrate. Life in these regions must depend either on organic material that sinks down, or on other energy sources than photosynthesis, generally this would be volcanic activity. Water has a high heat capacity. This means the oceans and other bodies of water can store large amounts of heat. This helps to regulate the temperature of the planet. Both the atmosphere and the hydrosphere are fluids, so they can flow. It is from this motion that we see the weather produced. The motions in the atmosphere and oceans result from 2 warm processes. These are convection and the coriolis force. Convection is the process whereby heat rises. In the atmosphere warm air can evaporate water and rise with it to higher altitudes. This produces clouds. In the oceans currents can arise as warm water rises or cold water sinks. The other force that helps produce both air and water currents is the coriolis force. This force is a result of Earth\u2019s spin. This force causes the atmosphere to circulate in cells where the winds blow at high altitude in particular in constant directions. The air currents can carry either warm or cool air with them. There are also currents in the oceans that are either warm or cold. The combination of water and air and their movement produces weather. One important cycle that comes out of this interaction is what we call the hydrocycle. In this cycle water evaporates, is carried on the wind currents and is dropped elsewhere. This moves water around the globe, but the flow of water can also carry other materials that are necessary for life on Earth.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/6k2hgvxt1/earth.jpg\" width=\"420\" height=\"407\"/></p>\n</html>",

Being able to wear what you want and be comfortable is a nice plus. Every day is casual Friday. </p>\n<p>\u2022My Travel Is From Here To There </p>\n<p>Not having to commute is a huge asset. Gas is expensive and so is public transit. Getting to work, one way, can be an hour or more for some people, which is over two hours of your day wasted. </p>\n<p>\u2022You're Your Own Boss </p>\n<p>I like people. I do. But there are some days, maybe even just for an hour or two, when I just want to spend quality time with my computer. Getting a job done, in a stressful work environment, usually goes smoother when you want to deal with someone, not when you have to. We all have our bad days. </p>\n<p>\u2022Do What You Like, Sorta </p>\n<p>We are getting to the point where different fields are getting more and more opportunities for people to work for themselves. You want to drive, you got Uber. You like to make videos, Youtube. Writers and photographers now have Steemit. It is not perfect, you will still need to work within the frame of the site in order to have any success, but at least you can work somewhat in the field of your choice. </p>\n<p>\u2022No Limits Your audience is the internet, which means your audience is the world. If you want to blog you are only limited by how much work you want to do to post and build your network. There is always something to do, and if you start to get some traction on your content, the rewards can be massive. </p>\n<p><strong>CONS </strong> </p>\n<p>\u2022You Don't Have To Wear Pants </p>\n<p>It is easy to fall into bad habits when your appearance doesn't matter. I guess I can go another day without combing my hair, who is going to know. I can start that diet next week, lots of time. In order to keep healthy, good habitats have to be kept by you and only you. </p>\n<p>\u2022Working 9 to 9 </p>\n<p>You thought you would work less becuase you are working from home? Nope. It is a common misconception, one that is easy to make, that working from home means you will be working less. But it is the opposite. You are on your own to make it work which means you will have to do every aspect yourself to get your content or product off the ground. </p>\n<p>\u2022Payday Is Any Day Now </p>\n<p>No steady paycheque is one of the biggest issues that faces people who want to work from home. And there is no guaranteed income. You can end up putting in a lot of hours into something and see little or no return. </p>\n<p>\u2022 Competition Is High </p>\n<p>Every legit new site that gives you an opportunity to make money online quickly gets front-runners. And once that threshold is hit, it becomes difficult for new users to find a spot to make their mark. Don't give up, but know it can be a tough hill to climb.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/x3yryrmhx/keyboardphoto.jpg\" width=\"653\" height=\"368\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

When you work the window there is a timer on the screen that shows how long the person has been waiting since they ordered. It stares you down as it clicks second by second. To make matters worse, I worked at a taco bell that was in front of a mall. That's right a mall. And it was attached to a Pizza Hut.

To anyone who is working there because they have to or are working hard at an extra job in their spare time, my hat is off to you.

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>In order to solve the problem of the 1%, we have been trying to raise wealth for the middle and lower class. This has been done by creating more jobs and raising the minimum wage. But maybe that is not the right way to go about it. You can increase the wealth as much as you want, but if the cost rises with it, you will be stuck with the same problem. However if you decrease the cost of things that people can use to increase their wealth as well the decrease the cost of living, it can lead to a better dispursion of wealth. </p>\n<p><strong>Increasing Wealth</strong> </p>\n<p>Regardless of where you are in the world, odds are that minimum wage needs to be increased. 15 dollars an hour should not be something that may happen in the future. It is too difficult for people to live of those wages and even if they do manage to get by, it limits the growth potentional when all their time is spent working dead-end jobs that care not for the growth of their employees. But increasing the wages as inflation increases is not enough. There is no progress here but only a side-step. And worse when it doesn't happen, it makes it harder for people who are struggling. There needs to be an influx of cash distrubtion to the lower class if we are to see a fairer system. The problem is that money has to come from somwhere and although the wealthy should be giving back, if the people who had money were inclined to give it, they would have done so already (maybe one day). There is the government, which can go a long way in helping to spread the wealth better, but we have yet to fix a system where the 1% thrive. </p>\n<p><strong>Decreasing Cost </strong> </p>\n<p>What if everything that you needed was free? Imagine you didn't have to pay for food, or water, housing or electricity. Or the internet. How about education? Think about how much it would free you to work on the field of your choice and actually improve in that field if you are more focused on the work than the money. I'm not saying to eliminate wealth, if people want to spend their money on a fancy sports car, that is their choice, but everyone should be able to afford transport. If wealth is to stay (which looks like the way it will be as those with wealth will not want to just rid of their wealth) that does not mean you have to penalize those at the bottom. Money is a useless frivilous thing and if it is used to buy useless frivilous things is one thing, but when it is needed to eat and warm yourself we have a problem. If we can make the world more afforable for everyone it will lead to more opportunites for the lower class while still letting the super-rich keep their wealth.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/fslhffc39/Mon.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"119\"/></p>\n</html>",

Being able to wear what you want and be comfortable is a nice plus. Every day is casual Friday. </p>\n<p><strong>\u2022My Travel Is From Here To There </strong> </p>\n<p>Not having to commute is a huge asset. Gas is expensive and so is public transit. Getting to work, one way, can be an hour or more for some people, which is over two hours of your day wasted. </p>\n<p><strong> \u2022You're Your Own Boss </strong> </p>\n<p>I like people. I do. But there are some days, maybe even just for an hour or two, when I just want to spend quality time with my computer. Getting a job done, in a stressful work environment, usually goes smoother when you want to deal with someone, not when you have to. We all have our bad days. </p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Do What You Like, Sorta </strong> </p>\n<p>We are getting to the point where different fields are getting more and more opportunities for people to work for themselves. You want to drive, you got Uber. You like to make videos, Youtube. Writers and photographers now have Steemit. It is not perfect, you will still need to work within the frame of the site in order to have any success, but at least you can work somewhat in the field of your choice. </p>\n<p><strong>\u2022No Limits </strong> </p>\n<p>Your audience is the internet, which means your audience is the world. If you want to blog you are only limited by how much work you want to do to post and build your network. There is always something to do, and if you start to get some traction on your content, the rewards can be massive. </p>\n<h1><strong>CONS </strong> </h1>\n<p><strong>\u2022You Don't Have To Wear Pants </strong> </p>\n<p>It is easy to fall into bad habits when your appearance doesn't matter. I guess I can go another day without combing my hair, who is going to know. I can start that diet next week, lots of time. In order to keep healthy, good habitats have to be kept by you and only you. </p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Working 9 to 9 </strong></p>\n<p>You thought you would work less becuase you are working from home? Nope. It is a common misconception, one that is easy to make, that working from home means you will be working less. But it is the opposite. You are on your own to make it work which means you will have to do every aspect yourself to get your content or product off the ground. </p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Payday Is Any Day Now </strong> </p>\n<p>No steady paycheque is one of the biggest issues that faces people who want to work from home. And there is no guaranteed income. You can end up putting in a lot of hours into something and see little or no return. Get Ready To Dance Life on the internet is about getting your name out there. Which means you will have to do a lot of self-promotion, regardless of the field that you are. This can make people uncomfortable, especially when they don't like to talk about themselves. Figuring out when and how to tell people about your content can be stressful. </p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Competition Is High </strong> </p>\n<p>Every legit new site that gives you an opportunity to make money online quickly gets front-runners. And once that threshold is hit, it becomes difficult for new users to find a spot to make their mark. Don't give up, but know it can be a tough hill to climb.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/6552frsmz/keyboardphoto.jpg\" width=\"653\" height=\"368\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Hey steemites,</p>\n<p>Throwing some science at you, this is from my university days.</p>\n<h1>HYDROPLANES</h1>\n<p>The hydrosphere is the water part of the Earth\u2019s surface. 70% or more of Earth\u2019s surface is actually covered in water. This includes ice at the polar caps, in glaciers, etc. There are 2 main types of bodies of liquid water: fresh water and salt water. The level of salt in salt water can vary considerably. Water can dissolve both solids and gas needed by life. Warm water dissolves solids better than cold, while cold water dissolves gasses better than warm. This is why there are often rich biological environments in cold waters. Most fresh water occurs as smaller inland bodies-like lakes and rivers. While it is the oceans that are salt water, fresh water can also be found underground in reservoirs or aquifers. A large percentage of the liquid water on Earth is in the oceans. When we look at Earth\u2019s oceans we can divide them into the 3 main regions: Neretic Zone, Shallow Zone, and the Abyssal Zone. These zones are divided by water depth. Neretic Zone these are the shallowest regions of the oceans. This includes things like the shore lines, intertidal pools, etc. This makes up only a very small percentage. Shallow Zone: this is defined as the depth to which sunlight can penetrate or roughly 300. Within this zone photosynthesis is possible. Abyssal Zone: these are the depths to which light cannot penetrate. Life in these regions must depend either on organic material that sinks down, or on other energy sources than photosynthesis, generally this would be volcanic activity. Water has a high heat capacity. This means the oceans and other bodies of water can store large amounts of heat. This helps to regulate the temperature of the planet. Both the atmosphere and the hydrosphere are fluids, so they can flow. It is from this motion that we see the weather produced. The motions in the atmosphere and oceans result from 2 warm processes. These are convection and the coriolis force. Convection is the process whereby heat rises. In the atmosphere warm air can evaporate water and rise with it to higher altitudes. This produces clouds. In the oceans currents can arise as warm water rises or cold water sinks. The other force that helps produce both air and water currents is the coriolis force. This force is a result of Earth\u2019s spin. This force causes the atmosphere to circulate in cells where the winds blow at high altitude in particular in constant directions. The air currents can carry either warm or cool air with them. There are also currents in the oceans that are either warm or cold. The combination of water and air and their movement produces weather. One important cycle that comes out of this interaction is what we call the hydrocycle. In this cycle water evaporates, is carried on the wind currents and is dropped elsewhere. This moves water around the globe, but the flow of water can also carry other materials that are necessary for life on Earth.</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>So who here has missed an investment or startup stage that they wished that had taken a part it? I'm guessing we are all raising our hands. I'm sure even the smartest people have missed a company they probably wished they had invested their time or money in. You are not alone. Yeah it can leave you with that punch in the gut feeling </p>\n<p> Take A Deep Breath </p>\n<p>FUCK! </p>\n<p>Feel better?</p>\n<p>Yeah there is going to be a period of frustration. Go for a run or hit the gym. Blow it off. But don't dwell on it. There will ALWAYS be another opportunity to capatilze on. That is the secret. But if you waste your time with regret of what could have been you are going to miss out on what is coming next. Keep looking forward and keep looking outward. If you are focused on your field it is easy to feel like another opportunity like the one that passed in your field will not happen again in your lifetime. The key is realizing it may not be in your field. It may be something you have never heard of. Take steemit for example. How many people knew nothing of blockchains but learned about it and spotted an opportunity when the site was new. This carries over to everything. There will always be a next big thing and if you are willing to widen your scope (if only for investment purposes) you will pick up on more of them. It takes a little more work then when it is something that is in your scope of expertise, but taking some time to spot an opportunity while still staying in your field can help you build the capitial you need to continue to pursue your field of choice. </p>\n<h2><strong>You Didn't Actually Lose Anything </strong></h2>\n<p>I know me telling you this is probably not helping, but it is true. Losing an opportunity is not the same as losing something you actually have. If you knew about the opportunity after the fact, knew about it before and decided not to do anything or didn't know about it at all, the results are all the same. Technically, even if the opportunity never existsed, you are in the same boat then if it did and you didn't act. What is causing any frustration is the knowing that you have missed out, which means, quite literally, that it is all in your head. There are probably dozens of opportunities you are missing a month that are not even on your radar and you don't loss sleep over an of them (and no, don't start thinking about all those other missed opportunities). The loss of what could have been hits as badly as if we actually had it. It is even something you might feel more suddenly than losing something you actually had. That is because we, as forward thinkers, are visualizing what will be and since that is what is in our head, we feel the lose of possibilites quite instantly. While feeling the loss for something you had may take more time as we tend to take for granted what is in our life.</p>\n<p>So dust yourself off, raise your head and look forward to the next big thing.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

The novel would be exclusive to steemit until it is completed and after a few months I might do something else with it. Being on steemit I thought a steampunk story made the most sense. I am thinking of having it take place in a steampunk world that is running low on water, making it harder for machines to get steam to run on. However there is a new mineral found from mining called steem, that when heated, gives off steam for days. The story will be about that mineral and those trying to obtain it. As it is quite the undertaking I want to make sure that the interest is there first. I will start it if this posts get 50 upvotes, regardless of how much money this post gets. If the votes are there I will start right away.</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>It was on New Years Eve. I was spending the night with a friend, nothing too exciting when out of the blue I could not hear out of my left ear. I mean nothing. So being a bit of a worrier, I wanted to fix it ASAP. I went to the washroom and grabbed a Qtip. I figured it was just a little clogged, I would clean it out and that would be that. But the Qtip did nothing. So I went back to what I was doing. It was only a clog, it would clear itself eventually. But then the pain started. Not a gentle irritation but a painful throbbing. Like, I need to go to the hospital kind of pain. So that is what I ended up doing. I sat in the emergy waiting room as my ear ached. I don't remember how long it took but it was some time before I made it in a room (a first hand experience of just one reason why we need to fund hospitals). There was nothing they could do. They gave me a perscription for some asprin threes, which did nothing as did the medicine for the ear. I had to wait it out. It was a long day after where I could barely sleep. Eventually the pain started to go away in waves and become less and less severe. But even then it still took months before my hearing returned to normal. It was odd showering and hearing the water like it was going through a filter. What I think happened was I had a infection that I ended up pushing back with the Qtip into a part of the ear that was smaller and tighter. Which lead to a painful couple of days. So in conclusion, no matter how much you start to panic when you can't hear out of one of your ears, DO NOT stick anything in it. They have that warning on the Qtip box for a reason.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/90bb7eeq3/lifelogo.jpg\" width=\"578\" height=\"261\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Before I start I want to say depending on how blockchains work and networks like steemit, this article may become obsolete. But for now ads are not going anywhere anytime soon, so let's discuss ways of making them less annoying. </p>\n<h2><strong>BUT ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE DOING IT </strong> </h2>\n<p>The world we live in now is one of transparency. Everyone understands, in some extent, how advertising works. We are not stupid. We know you want us to buy your drink, wear your shoes and see your movies. You want us to see cool people using your product and have us see enough of it that it appears in our dreams. But we don't need to be tricked. And we don't want to be lied to. You don't need to \"sell\" us anything. If you present people with something they might want to try or buy, they might actually be happy to click on the ad or watch the commerical. The process should not be one of selling but informing, and letting people decide for themselves. But in order to do this the advertisement needs to match the content where the ad is being placed. </p>\n<h2><strong>IT COMES DOWN TO THE WHERE </strong> </h2>\n<p>Look at movie theatre previews. Everybody loves them. A lot of people even make sure they show up early so they don't miss them. Technically those previews as just ads. Ads for other movies you might want to see. But why do people enjoy them? Because the odds are that the people who are at the movies are people who like to go to the movies. This is an audience who is interested in what is coming up next. However when you start to play commercials for other prodcuts before a film, it may lower the chances of a captivated audience. It is the same regardless of media and topic. If you are watching a golf tournament, previews about other golf events might be of interest. But a commercial for a new clothing line has a higher chance of being a miss. Same for ads on websites, I have seen ads on social media that I would never click on, ads for products that I would have no use for. </p>\n<h2>A.I. DATA MINING FTL </h2>\n<p>Now please don't take this as permission to go through all my data so you can find my favourite band and show me ads of other songs I might like. I kinda like having some semblance of privacy on the net. I don't want ads aimed at me but aimed at the area of interest that the content I am viewing is about. Because you never know what new things, in a field that you are interested in, that you may like. And maybe I will dislike what you are showing me and be annoyed that you are keeping me from the content I am trying to view. Which brings me to my next point. </p>\n<h2><strong>IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE! </strong> </h2>\n<p>Ads can become a problem when they obscure or delay your viewing of the content you want. Even if the ad might be something you are interested in, it does not need to block the content at hand. Personally I don't mind click ads on the side of a website or links that I should check out. It can take away from the aesthetics of the site but as long as they do not hinder what I am reading, looking at or watching, then go ahead and tell me, with honesty, what you want me to look at next. </p>\n<p>That is just my two cents. How do you feel about ads?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/74kcegup7/ads.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"119\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>In order to solve the problem of the 1%, we have been trying to raise wealth for the middle and lower class. This has been done by creating more jobs and lowering the minimum wage. But maybe that is not the right way to go about it. You can increase the wealth as much as you want, but if the cost rises with it, you will be stuck with the same problem. However if you decrease the cost of things that people can use to increase their wealth as well the decrease the cost of living, it can lead to a better dispursion of wealth. </p>\n<p><strong>Increasing Wealth </strong> </p>\n<p>Regardless of where you are in the world, odds are that minimum wage needs to be increased. 15 dollars an hour should not be something that may happen in the future. It is too difficult for people to live of those wages and even if they do manage to get by, it limits the growth potentional when all their time is spent working dead-end jobs that care not for the growth of their employees. But increasing the wages as inflation increases is not enough. There is no progress here but only a side-step. And worse when it doesn't happen, it makes it harder for people who are struggling. There needs to be an influx of cash distrubtion to the lower class if we are to see a fairer system. The problem is that money has to come from somwhere and although the wealthy should be giving back, if the people who had money were inclined to give it, they would have done so already (maybe one day). There is the government, which can go a long way in helping to spread the wealth better, but we have yet to fix a system where the 1% thrive. </p>\n<p><strong>Decreasing Cost </strong> </p>\n<p>What if everything that you needed was free? Imagine you didn't have to pay for food, or water, housing or electricity. Or the internet. How about education? Think about how much it would free you to work on the field of your choice and actually improve in that field if you are more focused on the work than the money. I'm not saying to eliminate wealth, if people want to spend their money on a fancy sports car, that is their choice, but everyone should be able to afford transport. If wealth is to stay (which looks like the way it will be as those with wealth will not want to just rid of their wealth) that does not mean you have to penalize those at the bottom. Money is a useless frivilous thing and if it is used to buy useless frivilous things is one thing, but when it is needed to eat and warm yourself we have a problem. If we can make the world more afforable for everyone it will lead to more opportunites for the lower class while still letting the super-rich buy robot-dinosaurs that they can fight for sport.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/pvjlrladx/Mon.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"119\"/></p>\n</html>",

Come on strike-out! I like to hit the ball, but the whole catching and throwing thing was not for me. I couldn't kick in soccer and apparently you need something called co-ordination for tennis. Basketball required dribbling, so that was out and football was a time to chill on the bench. I never played rugby but I'm sure I would suck at it. Golf is a no unless it is mini. Surfing involves balance and I would sink like a stone at the first wave. Skateboarding lead to ripped pants and scrapped knees. I was not winning an olympic medal when we did our track and field events in school. Hockey, ha! I was happy if I didn't fall on my ass when I was skating. I was not bad at bowling, so that is something. The point is (if there is a point) is if you did suck at sports, you are not alone. I wanted to be on the bench with a pad and a pencil drawing. So if you are or were like me, don't sweat it, find your own ways to stay in shape, eat right and embarce your lack of strength, speed and co-ordination. </p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>About ten years ago, maybe five, internet dating got saddled with this idea that if you use it there was something wrong with you. That you were socially awkward and had trouble finding a date in real life. But the same things were said when you were a nerd. It wasn't that long ago that nerds were at the bottom of the popularity chart and now it's almost uncool if you are not one. Things and people change. So today, @funny is announcing that internet dating is not for losers. Why do I say this? Well here is a list of reasons why internet dating is a legit, and sometimes better, way to meet new people. </p>\n<h2><strong> You Mean You Have A Personalitiy</strong> </h2>\n<p>If you meet someone at a bar or club what are you really basing your decision on. It's simple, you're basing it on looks and looks alone. I'm not going to argue how important looks are, or are are not, in a relationship but I can tell you, if you don't have anything in common, the relationship is going to suffer. There are cases, and this is rare, when you happen to see a tattoo of something the person likes that you like as well, but even if that is the case, basing a relationship on one common interest isn't a solid plan. And yes, you can argue that internet dating is shallow as well, people with hot pictures are the ones getting more messages. But under that picture is a bio and depending on the site, other information about the person beside how they look in a swimsuit. It may not be a lot but it is something. </p>\n<h2><strong> Get To Know The Person First </strong></h2>\n<p> So you flash a smile at a club and the person comes over. You try to make funny banter in their ear but they can't hear a word you're saying. But they think you're cute, so they smile and start to dance with you. Maybe you end up exchanging numbers or a kiss in the corner of the club. That is great, but what did you really learn about the person. I have had times, and yes I am embarrased to admit this, where I wasn't even sure of the woman's name when I called her. It was loud, I didn't hear, not for my fault. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out. But when you meet someone online you have to converse with them. There has to be some kind of back and forth before a meetup is agreed upon. For some people it a quick hey let's meet for coffee and others it may be months of late night conversations, but either way the option to really talk is presented in every case. </p>\n<h2><strong>Less Pressure</strong> </h2>\n<p> It's easier, in a way, to be yourself on the net. You can tell people things about yourself that you would have trouble saying in person. There is no fear of what the other person will say or how they will look at you and once you are comfortable that this person likes the real you then you can decide to meet. And there is the added benefit of being able to end the conversation anytime without any awkwardness. It can take months to tell someone things about you that you can spill out online in an conversation and see how they react. And if the getting to know the person doesn't work out, you can send a friendly goodbye message and move on to someone else. No need to have to wait until the date is over as you look at the clock every five minutes. </p>\n<h2><strong>I Don't Have The Time To Meet People</strong> </h2>\n<p>That isn't jsut an excuse. People are busy and dating takes time. Meeting people even takes time. When you go out to a club or bar, you have to get ready, get there and spend, who knows how long, trying to make eye contact, or 'bump into', someone who wants to be 'bumped into' by you. That is if the person even wants to be bothered to chat. There are people who go to clubs because they want to dance or unwind and they don't want to be bothered by some one who is looking for a date. Plus it gets expensive. There are cover charges, costs of transport, drinks. And if you do meet someone you can only get to know them so much in the bar, so that means going on a date, which costs more money. It adds up, especially when you are meeting a lot of people who are not right for you. </p>\n<h2><strong> I'm Shy </strong> </h2>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with being shy. Some people need time before they are comfortable putting themselves out there. Who cares. You are worth it and you want to find someone who knows that. And maybe you are a bit \"weird\" by some people's standards. Again, who cares. Okay techincally this doesn't argue agianst being social awkward. But if you are, so what, good for you. We all have our quirks. </p>\n<p>Now I know there are negatives. There are people who are not who they say are and times when you meet someone online that you click with over the net but don't seem to gel with when you meet up in person. It is not perfect. And yeah there are benefits to meeting people in person rather than online. But that does not take away from the benefits that online dating has. It is an option, a very viable one, of meeting people and you, if you choose to use it, should not feel lesser for doing so.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/ux7ur7i85/relationship.jpg\" width=\"578\" height=\"261\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>No I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to tell you that all you have to do is be yourself and everyone will be interested in you. That phone numbers will fall at your feet and your social calender will run out of space. Cause it won't. In reality, being yourself probably won't attract as many dates as you possibly could get. But getting a higher number of yeses shouldn't be your goal, especially if you are looking for a long-term serious relationship. What you want is to find that one person, the one who is going to be there for the real you. That one who knows who you are on your good days and your bad and will still stick it out for you when you are at your worse. If you waste all your time impressing the wrong people, you might miss your chance with the right ones. </p>\n<p>When I was younger and didn't know better, I had made mistakes of acting in a way that I thought the person I liked wanted me to act like. And I have seen times when others have done it for me. We have all been there. Maybe its something small, like you pretend to like a band that you would never listen to, or something bigger, like pretending your an outdoors person when really all you want to do is stay home on a Saturday night in your pajamas. And this can work at first. If you are good enough at understanding what the other person likes, and wants, you can give it to them. But how long can you do it before it becomes a chore? When you start to act \"differently\" because you start to voice what you really think. At some point the person who you are will start to surface. Or worse it won't and that pushed down resentment can lead to some bad moods and arguements down the line. </p>\n<p>So give it a try. You are going to meet a lot of people that you will not, in one way or another, click with. That is just fine. So is being rejected. It does not feel great when it happens, but it happens. You are no worse off then before you got rejected. And who knows how much time you would have wasted chasing the wrong person. Be smart about your time and just be yourself.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/4opjeayxh/relationship.jpg\" width=\"578\" height=\"261\"/></p>\n</html>",

Here are a few ways that steemit can become your primary job and not a source of extra income </p>\n<h2><strong>Invest </strong> </h2>\n<p>This isn't unique to steemit, or even cryptocurrency really. Any time a new stock is available those who buy early can make a pretty penny off of it. But of course this option involves start-up capital to see any big results and will take time. </p>\n<h2>Write </h2>\n<p>The main way to earn income is to write articles that get upvoted. It is something that literally anyone can do and anyone can make it viral on here. I know that sounds like a load after you have worked hard on a post only to watch it sink into the blockchain abyss. But that happens. A lot of these people who are making good money from their posts are just random people who came on at the right time or told the right story. And yes some of them have boobs, as I have read people complaining about that, but that is not a requirement. I don't have boobs (well when I'm up in my weight that can be argued) and I know no one here and look how much money this post is making (that is your cue to upvote this post) </p>\n<h2>Living Off Interest and Steem </h2>\n<p> I had a thought the other day. If you could build up enough steem power and if steem was worth enough money, you could power down and have a weekly paycheck. That is one of the advantages of the 104 payments of your power down over the two years. You can have a steady paycheck and (I think) collect more steem from the steem that is in there. That will help a lot of people who are, lets be honest, bad with money. </p>\n<p> Time will show us how well the average user can earn on Steemit but as I said, it is looking positive.</p>\n<p>(photo link deleted)</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

This has been done by creating more jobs and lowering the minimum wage. But maybe that is not the right way to go about it. You can increase the wealth as much as you want, but if the cost rises with it, you will be stuck with the same problem. However if you decrease the cost of things that people can use to increase their wealth as well the decrease the cost of living, it can lead to a better dispursion of wealth. </p>\n<h1><strong>Increasing Wealth </strong></h1>\n<p>Regardless of where you are in the world, odds are that minimum wage needs to be increased. 15 dollars an hour should not be something that may happen in the future. It is too difficult for people to live of those wages and even if they do manage to get by, it limits the growth potentional when all their time is spent working dead-end jobs that care not for the growth of their employees. But increasing the wages as inflation increases is not enough. There is no progress here but only a side-step. And worse when it doesn't happen, it makes it harder for people who are struggling. There needs to be an influx of cash distrubtion to the lower class if we are to see a fairer system. The problem is that money has to come from somwhere and although the wealthy should be giving back, if the people who had money were inclined to give it, they would have done so already (maybe one day). There is the government, which can go a long way in helping to spread the wealth better, but we have yet to fix a system where the 1% thrive. </p>\n<h1>Decreasing Cost </h1>\n<p>What if everything that you needed was free? Imagine you didn't have to pay for food, or water, housing or electricity. Or the internet. How about education? Think about how much it would free you to work on the field of your choice and actually improve in that field if you are more focused on the work than the money. I'm not saying to eliminate wealth, if people want to spend their money on a fancy sports car, that is their choice, but everyone should be able to afford transport. If wealth is to stay (which looks like the way it will be as those with wealth will not want to just rid of their wealth) that does not mean you have to penalize those at the bottom. Money is a useless frivilous thing and if it is used to buy useless frivilous things is one thing, but when it is needed to eat and warm yourself we have a problem. If we can make the world more afforable for everyone it will lead to more opportunites for the lower class while still letting the super-rich buy robot-dinosaurs that they can fight for sport.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/fvn8w3nob/Mon.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"119\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>First of all, congratulations to everyone who is making good money from their posts. I'm not hating at all, good for you for putting in the work and figuring out how to be smart (and honest) about it. If you are on the lower end of the spectrum or are just joining (welcome) know that it is possible to make money here if you work and work smart. I literally just joined this site about a month ago and I know nobody here, so don't worry about feeling excluded. </p>\n<p><strong>But No One Liked My Post </strong> </p>\n<p>It happens. Some of your posts might sky rocket, while others might never get off the ground. Don't take it personally. Sometimes it is the timing of the post. If no one is looking at what is new when your blog is posted it will quickly get pushed down the feed as new posts come. Or maybe it is a topic that is not popular on steemit yet. It might take you some time to build an audience for it. Keep pushing. There are people on here who will support you for your interests because they are happy to have variety on the site. And do take a second to think about what you could do better. Sometimes it is you. Not being mean, EVERY ONE of us has written posts that were less than stellar. Part of getting good at anything is practice, which includes real-world experience of sucking. Has to happen for us all. If your post wasn't great, see why and work to improve it the next time. But again, never take it personally. Even the greatest writers have written garbage. The difference is they tear it up and drink themselves to sleep while we post it on the internet. We are more public about our failures nowadays. </p>\n<p><strong>Be Happy For The Success Of Others </strong></p>\n<p> You say you spent a couple of days or weeks working hard on an article that no one liked, while someone took a quick photo of their cat and made thousands of dollars. Welcome to the internet. Yeah it can be discouraging. I never said it's right. And I think, with networks like steemit, we are starting to move in a direction where quality is what pays. But for now, like every other social media and forum site, random stuff will sometimes blow hard work out of the water. That doesn't mean you should hate on those posts. No one likes a complainer. Do not be one of those jerk crabs that tries to grab the escaping crap and pull them back into the bucket (to anyone thinking, okay that was random, read the steemit whitepaper for the story of the crabs). Neither should you stop trying to improve yourself and your work. Instead focus on what you want the site to look like and what posts you think should be rewarded. Remember steemit is new. If you want it to thrive as a place for intelligent articles then post intelligent articles. Upvote and seach for intelligent articles. It is an open space to grow as each of you sees fit. And it is a big enough space that though-provoking debates and fart jokes can exist side-by-side. </p>\n<p>So as we move forward with steemit and see new users continue to join the site, keep posting, improving yourself, upvoting and commenting and the odds are you will find your success on here.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

Imagine you didn't have to pay for food, or water, housing or electricity. Or the internet. How about education? Think about how much it would free you to work on the field of your choice and actually improve in that field if you are more focused on the work than the money. I'm not saying to eliminate wealth, if people want to spend their money on a fancy sports car, that is their choice, but everyone should be able to afford transport. If wealth is to stay (which looks like the way it will be as those with wealth will not want to just rid of their wealth) that does not mean you have to penalize those at the bottom. Money is a useless frivilous thing and if it is used to buy useless frivilous things is one thing, but when it is needed to eat and warm yourself we have a problem. If we can make the world more afforable for everyone it will lead to more opportunites for the lower class while still letting the super-rich buy robot-dinosaurs that they can fight for sport.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/ivemnek7v/money.jpg\" width=\"243\" height=\"144\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>No I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to tell you that all you have to do is be yourself and everyone will be interested in you. That phone numbers will fall at your feet and your social calender will run out of space. Cause it won't. In reality, being yourself probably won't attract as many dates as you possibly could get. But getting a higher number of yeses shouldn't be your goal, especially if you are looking for a long-term serious relationship. What you want is to find that one person, the one who is going to be there for the real you. That one who knows who you are on your good days and your bad and will still stick it out for you when you are at your worse. If you waste all your time impressing the wrong people, you might miss your chance with the right ones.. </p>\n<p>When I was younger and didn't know better, I had made mistakes of acting in a way that I thought the person I liked wanted me to act like. And I have seen times when others have done it for me. We have all been there. Maybe its something small, like you pretend to like a band that you would never listen to, or something bigger, like pretending your an outdoors person when really all you want to do is stay home on a Saturday night in your pajamas. And this can work at first. If you are good enough at understanding what the other person likes, and wants, you can give it to them. But how long can you do it before it becomes a chore? When you start to act \"differently\" because you start to voice what you really think. At some point the person who you are will start to surface. Or worse it won't and that pushed down resentment can lead to some bad moods and arguements down the line. </p>\n<p>So give it a try. You are going to meet a lot of people that you will not, in one way or another, click with. That is just fine. So is being rejected. It does not feel great when it happens, but it happens. You are no worse off then before you got rejected. And who knows how much time you would have wasted chasing the wrong person. Be smart about your time and just be yourself.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/rsxk2jlmd/relationships.jpg\" width=\"189\" height=\"159\"/></p>\n</html>",

Being able to wear what you want and be comfortable is a nice plus. Every day is casual Friday. </p>\n<ul>\n <li>My Travel Is From Here To There </li>\n</ul>\n<p>Not having to commute is a huge asset. Gas is expensive and so is public transit. Getting to work, one way, can be an hour or more for some people, which is over two hours of your day wasted. </p>\n<ul>\n <li>You're Your Own Boss </li>\n</ul>\n<p>I like people. I do. But there are some days, maybe even just for an hour or two, when I just want to spend quality time with my computer. Getting a job done, in a stressful work environment, usually goes smoother when you want to deal with someone, not when you have to. We all have our bad days. </p>\n<ul>\n <li>Do What You Like, Sorta </li>\n</ul>\n<p>We are getting to the point where different fields are getting more and more opportunities for people to work for themselves. You want to drive, you got Uber. You like to make videos, Youtube. Writers and photographers now have Steemit. It is not perfect, you will still need to work within the frame of the site in order to have any success, but at least you can work somewhat in the field of your choice. </p>\n<ul>\n <li>No Limits </li>\n</ul>\n<p>Your audience is the internet, which means your audience is the world. If you want to blog you are only limited by how much work you want to do to post and build your network. There is always something to do, and if you start to get some traction on your content, the rewards can be massive. </p>\n<p><strong>CONS </strong></p>\n<ul>\n <li>You Don't Have To Wear Pants </li>\n</ul>\n<p>It is easy to fall into bad habits when your appearance doesn't matter. I guess I can go another day without combing my hair, who is going to know. I can start that diet next week, lots of time. In order to keep healthy, good habitats have to be kept by you and only you. </p>\n<ul>\n <li>Working 9 to 9 </li>\n</ul>\n<p> You thought you would work less becuase you are working from home? Nope. It is a common misconception, one that is easy to make, that working from home means you will be working less. But it is the opposite. You are on your own to make it work which means you will have to do every aspect yourself to get your content or product off the ground. </p>\n<ul>\n <li>Payday Is Any Day Now </li>\n</ul>\n<p>No steady paycheque is one of the biggest issues that faces people who want to work from home. And there is no guaranteed income. You can end up putting in a lot of hours into something and see little or no return. Get Ready To Dance Life on the internet is about getting your name out there. Which means you will have to do a lot of self-promotion, regardless of the field that you are. This can make people uncomfortable, especially when they don't like to talk about themselves. Figuring out when and how to tell people about your content can be stressful. </p>\n<ul>\n <li> Competition Is High </li>\n</ul>\n<p>Every legit new site that gives you an opportunity to make money online quickly gets front-runners. And once that threshold is hit, it becomes difficult for new users to find a spot to make their mark. Don't give up, but know it can be a tough hill to climb.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/neti7sel1/keyboardphoto.jpg\" width=\"653\" height=\"368\"/></p>\n</html>",

Here is a compiled list below. </p>\n<p>\u2022Long, well-written articles tend to do better than shorter posts. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't forget about commenting, well-liked comments get paid as well. </p>\n<p>\u2022In order to do a link, highlight the text you want to add the link to, click the link icon and paste the link in the box. </p>\n<p> \u2022Remember this system uses a blockchain, so everything you post will be permantly saved somewhere. </p>\n<p>\u2022Yes I can not deny having a niche can help you build your profile faster, but you're a person not a brand, you want to randomly post about flowers and motorcycles, go for it. </p>\n<p>\u2022Don't be intimidated if you know nothing about bitcoins or blockchains or anything with the word crypto in front of it. This is a forum like any other, as it grows so will the topics. If there isn't a topic about something you want to post about then start it yourself. </p>\n<p>\u2022You don't have to be an english major to blog, find your voice and write about your expertise. </p>\n<p>\u2022Sometimes your post will be on at a bad time and fall under the radar. Don't be discouraged. I personally think its okay to repost it especailly since we currently don't have views. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you see something you like, upvote it. It is only polite. You help out the author and you get paid for it. The amounts are still not set but even if it is low it is still payment to vote. There are a lot worse ways to make money.</p>\n<p> \u2022But don't just scroll and upvote everything you see. Integrity goes a long way to keeping a system fair. And your voting power takes time to reset to full.</p>\n<p> \u2022WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD AND KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE! There is no password recovery system here. </p>\n<p> \u2022There are several free image hosting sites you can use to link photos from. Upload your photo, copy the link and post it in the image box. </p>\n<p> \u2022The Steemit white paper is like an instruction manuel. Keep in mind changes are still being made. Read it here. </p>\n<p>\u2022Take time with your title, make it catchy without being misleading. </p>\n<p> \u2022Your blog tab is all the \"submit a story\" you posted, while the post tab includes your comments as well. </p>\n<p>\u2022Steemit is not a link farm. </p>\n<p>\u2022Post your own work. Even camera phone photos are better than ones from the net. </p>\n<p>\u2022If you post photography make sure you add something that lets people know it is your photo. You don't want people to not upvote it becuase they don't know if it is taken from the internet or not and no one wants to do an image search on every photo. </p>\n<p>\u2022And finally, don't be an ass. </p>\n<p>This is more of a tip for life in general but hey, it applies here too.

Here are a few ways that steemit can become your primary job and not a source of extra income</p>\n<p><strong>Invest</strong></p>\n<p>This isn't unique to steemit, or even cryptocurrency really. Any time a new stock is available those who buy early can make a pretty penny off of it. But of course this option involves start-up capital to see any big results and will take time. </p>\n<p><strong>Write</strong></p>\n<p>The main way to earn income is to write articles that get upvoted. It is something that literally anyone can do and anyone can make it viral on here. I know that sounds like a load after you have worked hard on a post only to watch it sink into the blockchain abyss. But that happens. A lot of these people who are making good money from their posts are just random people who came on at the right time or told the right story. And yes some of them have boobs, as I have read people complaining about that, but that is not a requirement. I don't have boobs (well when I'm up in my weight that can be argued) and I know no one here and look how much money this post is making (that is your cue to upvote this post) </p>\n<p><strong>Living Off Interest and Steem</strong></p>\n<p>I had a thought the other day. If you could build up enough steem power and if steem was worth enough money, you could power down and have a weekly paycheck. That is one of the advantages of the 104 payments of your power down over the two years. You can have a steady paycheck and (I think) collect more steem from the steem that is in there. That will help a lot of people who are, lets be honest, bad with money. </p>\n<p>Time will show us how well the average user can earn on Steemit but as I said, it is looking positive</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/464u9ye8l/steemit.jpg\" width=\"260\" height=\"147\"/></p>\n</html>",

But eliminating the coin and bill altogether is a big step for an economic system to take, one which needs to work for everyone in every financial situation. </p>\n<p><strong>MORE MONEY MORE PROBLEMS </strong> </p>\n<p>Eliminating psychical money would cut down on costs in the long run. We don't have to worry about printng costs, materials and shipping and handling fees. Digital currency is easy to send and recieve. The metal from coins can be recycled. Money has become inefficient and moving to a system where digital payment is user-friendly and accepted everywhere will help move the system along quicker. But the system needs to be accepted everywhere for it to work. One of the reasons cash has staying power is it doesn't need infrastructure to work. You give someone a $20 bill, they pocket it and the transaction is completed. For a digital system to take over completely every vendor needs a system in place and every person will need the means to use it and that can be costly. </p>\n<p><strong>IS IT SAFE?</strong></p>\n<p> Security, or the idea of feeling secure is an issue. The fear of hackers is a prominant one and one that conjures images of hooded figures stealing your life savings. But there are ways to stop it. Having an institution that is liable for lose is one and it creates jobs. Personally I feel more secure when my money is in a bank account then when I am holding on to it. I'm not insured for that random $20 bill that fell out of my pocket. There is a comfort knowing someone is protecting your money, as long as feel you can trust them. But banks and other institutions have yet to implete blockchain technology. </p>\n<p><strong>DOES STEEM HAVE STAYING POWER? </strong></p>\n<p> I'm curious to see how well steem works as a currency and how well it will translate into real world applications (hey can I give you an upvote as payment for my coffee). Right now it is a third link over, cryptocurrency needs to be exchanged for digital currency which can then be exchanged into physchical currnecy. But that is just a temporary problem, digital currency and cryptocurrency can be intergated together. It will depend on how people feel about blockchain technology. Having data permanent and public can be a problem for a lot of people and businesses. But bitcoin seems to have proven that it has staying power and with the 2 year investment of steem back into the system, steem should have a future, at least until we figure out what the world thinks of blockchains. </p>\n<p>I'm sure there are users on here who are a lot more versed in cryptocurrency and blockchains, what do you think of the idea of a digital economy?</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s32.postimg.org/j1324x5h1/money.jpg\" width=\"243\" height=\"144\"/></p>\n</html>",

There has been a period with Bernie Sanders of the last few weeks where he has been quiet after Hillary had gotten enough delegates to win the nomination. But today Bernie Sanders has taken the stage to through his support behind Hillary</p>\n<p>He thanked his supporters for their individual contributions. He mentioned how she has more delegates and super delegates, and did so in a way to make it clear that she was the fair winner. A smart move for all of his voters who felt that the system was rigged. He kept his messages of a fair financial system and talked about the fight to help spread the wealth to the lower class. There was mentions of raising the minimum wage and creating new jobs. Also talks about climate change and protecting the environment. </p>\n<p>Bernie Sanders opened up the press conference. A wise move as he has a lot of passionate supporters that Hillary could use for the November election. And when he was finished they hugged and waved to the audience together. </p>\n<p>Hillary Clinton has had trouble getting the youth vote, something that Bernie Sanders has been exceeding at. With his support that might close the gap. The two if them together will be very difficult to stop in the upcoming election. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/wxiqdpwt7/image.png\" width=\"139\" height=\"111\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Before I start I want to say depending on how blockchains work and networks like steemit, this article may become obsolete. But for now ads are not going anywhere anytime soon, so let's discuss ways of making them less annoying. </p>\n<p> BUT ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE DOING IT </p>\n<p>The world we live in now is one of transparency. Everyone understands, in some extent, how advertising works. We are not stupid. We know you want us to buy your drink, wear your shoes and see your movies. You want us to see cool people using your product and have us see enough of it that it appears in our dreams. But we don't need to be tricked. And we don't want to be lied to. You don't need to \"sell\" us anything. If you present people with something they might want to try or buy, they might actually be happy to click on the ad or watch the commerical. The process should not be one of selling but informing, and letting people decide for themselves. But in order to do this the advertisement needs to match the content where the ad is being placed. </p>\n<p>IT COMES DOWN TO THE WHERE </p>\n<p>Look at movie theatre previews. Everybody loves them. A lot of people even make sure they show up early so they don't miss them. Technically those previews as just ads. Ads for other movies you might want to see. But why do people enjoy them? Because the odds are that the people who are at the movies are people who like to go to the movies. This is an audience who is interested in what is coming up next. However when you start to play commercials for other prodcuts before a film, it may lower the chances of a captivated audience. It is the same regardless of media and topic. If you are watching a golf tournament, previews about other golf events might be of interest. But a commercial for a new clothing line has a higher chance of being a miss. Same for ads on websites, I have seen ads on social media that I would never click on, ads for products that I would have no use for. </p>\n<p>A.I. DATA MINING FTL </p>\n<p> Now please don't take this as permission to go through all my data so you can find my favourite band and show me ads of other songs I might like. I kinda like having some semblance of privacy on the net. I don't want ads aimed at me but aimed at the area of interest that the content I am viewing is about. Because you never know what new things, in a field that you are interested in, that you may like. And maybe I will dislike what you are showing me and be annoyed that you are keeping me from the content I am trying to view. Which brings me to my next point. </p>\n<p>IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE! </p>\n<p>Ads can become a problem when they obscure or delay your viewing of the content you want. Even if the ad might be something you are interested in, it does not need to block the content at hand. Personally I don't mind click ads on the side of a website or links that I should check out. It can take away from the aesthetics of the site but as long as they do not hinder what I am reading, looking at or watching, then go ahead and tell me, with honesty, what you want me to look at next. </p>\n<p>That is just my two cents. How do you feel about ads?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s31.postimg.org/ymnjsj7nf/Untitled.jpg\" width=\"147\" height=\"111\"/></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Hey Steemites,</p>\n<p>So after staring at the market screen for a bit I think I got a handle on it. You have your asking price and your bidding price. The asking price is the cheapest you can buy steem for while the bidding price is the the most you can sell your steem for (if you want to do the transaction right away). If you look at the list of numbers under the buy steem and sell steem, I think that is what is currently available on the market. At this moment someone will pay you .9195 cents per if you wanted to sell up to 200.00 steem and you can buy up 100 steem at 1.044. If you really wanted to you can buy steem for 1.749 instead of the 1.044 as that is the price someone is asking for at the bottom (though you would never want to do that until the 1.749 becomes the lowest value). Think of it as a shelf with the same product but with different prices for each one. You can ask for or try to sell your steem at a crazy number but it will probably just sit there as the steem which is at the lowest ask and highest bid will go first. </p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>First of all, congratulations to everyone who is making good money from their posts. I'm not hating at all, good for you for putting in the work and figuring out how to be smart (and honest) about it. If you are on the lower end of the spectrum or are just joining (welcome) know that it is possible to make money here if you work and work smart. I literally just joined this site about a month ago and I know nobody here, so don't worry about feeling excluded. </p>\n<p><strong>But No One Liked My Post</strong></p>\n<p>It happens. Some of your posts might sky rocket, while others might never get off the ground. Don't take it personally. Sometimes it is the timing of the post. If no one is looking at what is new when your blog is posted it will quickly get pushed down the feed as new posts come. Or maybe it is a topic that is not popular on steemit yet. It might take you some time to build an audience for it. Keep pushing. There are people on here who will support you for your interests because they are happy to have variety on the site. And do take a second to think about what you could do better. Sometimes it is you. Not being mean, EVERY ONE of us has written posts that were less than stellar. Part of getting good at anything is practice, which includes real-world experience of sucking. Has to happen for us all. If your post wasn't great, see why and work to improve it the next time. But again, never take it personally. Even the greatest writers have written garbage. The difference is they tear it up and drink themselves to sleep while we post it on the internet. We are more public about our failures nowadays.</p>\n<p><strong>Be Happy For The Success Of Others</strong></p>\n<p>You say you spent a couple of days or weeks working hard on an article that no one liked, while someone took a quick photo of their cat and made thousands of dollars. Welcome to the internet. Yeah it can be discouraging. I never said it's right. And I think, with networks like steemit, we are starting to move in a direction where quality is what pays. But for now, like every other social media and forum site, random stuff will sometimes blow hard work out of the water. That doesn't mean you should hate on those posts. No one likes a complainer. Do not be one of those jerk crabs that tries to grab the escaping crap and pull them back into the bucket (to anyone thinking, okay that was random, read the steemit whitepaper for the story of the crabs). Neither should you stop trying to improve yourself and your work. Instead focus on what you want the site to look like and what posts you think should be rewarded. Remember steemit is new. If you want it to thrive as a place for intelligent articles then post intelligent articles. Upvote and seach for intelligent articles. It is an open space to grow as each of you sees fit. And it is a big enough space that though-provoking debates and fart jokes can exist side-by-side. </p>\n<p>So as we move forward with steemit and see new users continue to join the site, keep posting, improving yourself, upvoting and commenting and the odds are you will find your success on here. </p>\n</html>",

I might move a bit into bitshare but I am going to put, at least, 80-90% of the money back into steem power. My work affords me time to work online and this platform works well not only for article writing but also for people who want to curate. I hope to do both. It has been some time since I wrote academic papers, but I do have some experience somewhere in me and I will work to improve my article-writing as I go. And for curatoring I want to get to the point where I have enough steem power that my vote can help reward talented writers and new users who are trying to get a footing into the system. In other words, I want to be like Oprah - you get some steem, you get some steem, you get steem. My interests go beyond comedy and I will work to bring both articles that are (hopefully) funny as well as more serious ones that either disucss a topic, share an idea or are informative. I also will try to make some of the articles search engine ready, so new users will find them outside of steem and those articles will be written in an honest and (again hopefully) friendly tone.</p>\n<p>If the money is there this might become like a part-time job for me. I am not rich and am at a stage of my life where I am ready to grind. I remember reading in the white paper that you are paid for your time or your investment. You will find me in the time camp. There is a lot I want to do in this life and although money, in no way, is the most important thing, it does give you the opportunities to help complete a bucket list as well as more power to help others. </p>\n<p>If you don't mind a little self-promotion, here are some of the posts that I wrote since I joined steemit.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://steemit.com/steemit/@funny/why-steemit-and-other-sites-that-pay-for-content-are-important-for-content-creators\"><strong>Why Steemit And Other Sites That Pay For Content Are Important For Content Creators</strong></a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@funny/the-real-reason-you-need-to-invest-in-cryptocurrency\"><strong>The Real Reason You Need To Invest In Cryptocurrency</strong></a> (comedy post)</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://steemit.com/steemit/@funny/19-tips-for-new-users-of-steemit\"><strong>19 Tips For New Users Of Steemit</strong></a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://steemit.com/economics/@funny/can-an-economy-without-phsyical-currency-work\"><strong>Can An Economy Without Physical Currency Work?</strong></a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Have a great long weekend everyone,</p>\n<p>@funny</p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>I want to discuss the topic of dividing steem among its users. It will be an important aspect of the network to get right before the July 4th date. I want to start by saying I think everyone needs to be open to whatever system is decided on and then work to improve it and their own accounts. There is a good chance not everyone will be happy when the money is given out on the 4th. But that shouldn't dissuade anybody from continuing to use the system and work hard to get where they want to be. In other words, check out the new rules, dust yourself off and get back in there. </p>\n<p>The first problem is avoiding the 1% dilema. Having a handful of users who control the majority of voting power will lead to a very skewed system. It is not a democracy when only a few people's votes actually matter. Spreading the voting power will help people feel more invovled and needed in the process, it will give a wider range of posts a chance to make money and will lead to an overall increase of productivity. The easiest solution is just to take the money and hand it out to everyone evenly, but that will lead to the second problem. </p>\n<p>It is not fair to penalize any of the investors who have put money into steemit. They are the ones who are taking all the risk here. There a lot of us (myself including) willing to put in the time and the effort into helping the system grow, but without capital it we will be next to impossible to pay users for their work. So they do need to be compensated the best that they can while still keeping the majoirty in mind.</p>\n<p>That being said, I feel the system will work better in the long run if more people have more steem and the voting power is shared as well as can be. The plan should be to focus on spreading out the wealth first and keeping the \"whales\" in mind second. Do not forget about them, give them more the rest, but not too much that is eliminates a fair voting system. The rich get richer and it will be easier for the members who are at the top to grow faster. Because of this it is better to even out the playing field the best you can at the start. In addition, having a sharp divide between a rich top percent and a poor middle percent will make it even harder for the new users at the bottom to make a mark. I may be biased, but I think a system that gives a lot of people more to work with will grow faster than one with only a few big users holding all the power.</p>\n</html>",

Being able to wear what you want and be comfortable is a nice plus. Every day is casual Friday.</p>\n<p><strong>My Travel Is From Here To There</strong></p>\n<p>Not having to commute is a huge asset. Gas is expensive and so is public transit. Getting to work, one way, can be an hour or more for some people, which is over two hours of your day wasted. </p>\n<p><strong>You're Your Own Boss</strong></p>\n<p>I like people. I do. But there are some days, maybe even just for an hour or two, when I just want to spend quality time with my computer. Getting a job done, in a stressful work environment, usually goes smoother when you want to deal with someone, not when you have to. We all have our bad days.</p>\n<p><strong>Do What You Like, Sorta</strong></p>\n<p>We are getting to the point where different fields are getting more and more opportunities for people to work for themselves. You want to drive, you got Uber. You like to make videos, Youtube. Writers and photographers now have Steemit. It is not perfect, you will still need to work within the frame of the site in order to have any success, but at least you can work somewhat in the field of your choice.</p>\n<p><strong>No Limits</strong></p>\n<p>Your audience is the internet, which means your audience is the world. If you want to blog you are only limited by how much work you want to do to post and build your network. There is always something to do, and if you start to get some traction on your content, the rewards can be massive.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><strong>CONS</strong></p>\n<p><strong>You Don't Have To Wear Pants</strong></p>\n<p>It is easy to fall into bad habits when your appearance doesn't matter. I guess I can go another day without combing my hair, who is going to know. I can start that diet next week, lots of time. In order to keep healthy, good habitats have to be kept by you and only you. </p>\n<p><strong>Working 9 to 9</strong></p>\n<p>You thought you would work less becuase you are working from home? Nope. It is a common misconception, one that is easy to make, that working from home means you will be working less. But it is the opposite. You are on your own to make it work which means you will have to do every aspect yourself to get your content or product off the ground. </p>\n<p><strong>Payday Is Any Day Now</strong></p>\n<p>No steady paycheque is one of the biggest issues that faces people who want to work from home. And there is no guaranteed income. You can end up putting in a lot of hours into something and see little or no return. </p>\n<p><strong>Get Ready To Dance</strong></p>\n<p>Life on the internet is about getting your name out there. Which means you will have to do a lot of self-promotion, regardless of the field that you are. This can make people uncomfortable, especially when they don't like to talk about themselves. Figuring out when and how to tell people about your content can be stressful. </p>\n<p><strong>Competition Is High</strong></p>\n<p>Every legit new site that gives you an opportunity to make money online quickly gets front-runners. And once that threshold is hit, it becomes difficult for new users to find a spot to make their mark. Don't give up, but know it can be a tough hill to climb. </p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

But eliminating the coin and bill altogether is a big step for an economic system to take, one which needs to work for everyone in every financial situation. </p>\n<p><strong>MORE MONEY MORE PROBLEMS</strong></p>\n<p>Eliminating psychical money would cut down on costs in the long run. We don't have to worry about printng costs, materials and shipping and handling fees. Digital currency is easy to send and recieve. The metal from coins can be recycled. Money has become inefficient and moving to a system where digital payment is user-friendly and accepted everywhere will help move the system along quicker. But the system needs to be accepted everywhere for it to work. One of the reasons cash has staying power is it doesn't need infrastructure to work. You give someone a $20 bill, they pocket it and the transaction is completed. For a digital system to take over completely every vendor needs a system in place and every person will need the means to use it and that can be costly.</p>\n<p><strong>IS IT SAFE</strong></p>\n<p>Security, or the idea of feeling secure is an issue. The fear of hackers is a prominant one and one that conjures images of hooded figures stealing your life savings. But there are ways to stop it. Having an institution that is liable for lose is one and it creates jobs. Personally I feel more secure when my money is in a bank account then when I am holding on to it. I'm not insured for that random $20 bill that fell out of my pocket. There is a comfort knowing someone is protecting your money, as long as feel you can trust them. But banks and other institutions have yet to implete blockchain technology. </p>\n<p><strong>DOES STEEM HAVE STAYING POWER?</strong></p>\n<p>I'm curious to see how well steem works as a currency and how well it will translate into real world applications (hey can I give you an upvote as payment for my coffee). Right now it is a third link over, cryptocurrency needs to be exchanged for digital currency which can then be exchanged into physchical currnecy. But that is just a temporary problem, digital currency and cryptocurrency can be intergated together. It will depend on how people feel about blockchain technology. Having data permanent and public can be a problem for a lot of people and businesses. But bitcoin seems to have proven that it has staying power and with the 2 year investment of steem back into the system, steem should have a future, at least until we figure out what the world thinks of blockchains.</p>\n<p>I'm sure there are users on here who are a lot more versed in cryptocurrency and blockchains, what do you think of the idea of a digital economy?</p>\n<p> <em> (article has been edited)</em></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Hey Steemites (I think that one is my favourite),</p>\n<p>Having been on the network for about a month I have come across and figured out some helpful tips for using the network. Here is a compiled list below.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Long, well-written articles tend to do better than shorter posts.</li>\n <li>Don't forget about commenting, well-liked comments get paid as well.</li>\n <li>In order to do a link, highlight the text you want to add the link to, click the link icon and paste the link in the box. Like<a href=\"https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@funny/the-real-reason-you-need-to-invest-in-cryptocurrency\"> this</a></li>\n <li>Remember this system uses a blockchain, so everything you post will be permantly saved somewhere.</li>\n <li>Yes I can not deny having a niche can help you build your profile faster, but you're a person not a brand, you want to randomly post about flowers and motorcycles, go for it.</li>\n <li>Don't be intimidated if you know nothing about bitcoins or blockchains or anything with the word crypto in front of it. This is a forum like any other, as it grows so will the topics. If there isn't a topic about something you want to post about then start it yourself.</li>\n <li>You don't have to be an english major to blog, find your voice and write about your expertise.</li>\n <li>Sometimes your post will be on at a bad time and fall under the radar. Don't be discouraged. I personally think its okay to repost it especailly since we currently don't have views.</li>\n <li>If you see something you like, upvote it. It is only polite. You help out the author and you get paid for it. The amounts are still not set but even if it is low it is still payment to vote. There are a lot worse ways to make money.</li>\n <li>But don't just scroll and upvote everything you see. Integrity goes a long way to keeping a system fair. And your voting power takes time to reset to full.</li>\n <li>WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD AND KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE! There is no password recovery system here. </li>\n <li>There are several free image hosting sites you can use to link photos from. Upload your photo, copy the link and post it in the image box. </li>\n <li>The Steemit white paper is like an instruction manuel. Keep in mind changes are still being made. Read it <a href=\"https://steem.io/SteemWhitePaper.pdf\">here. </a></li>\n <li>Take time with your title, make it catchy without being misleading. </li>\n <li>Your blog tab is all the \"submit a story\" you posted, while the post tab includes your comments as well.</li>\n <li>Steemit is not a link farm.</li>\n <li>Post your own work. Even camera phone photos are better than ones from the net.</li>\n <li>If you post photography make sure you add something that lets people know it is your photo. You don't want people to not upvote it becuase they don't know if it is taken from the internet or not and no one wants to do an image search on every photo. </li>\n <li>And finally, don't be an ass. This is more of a tip for life in general but hey, it applies here too.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you have any tips, please add them in the comments</p>\n<p> <em> Written by @funny</em></p>\n<p><em> (article has been edited)</em></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

But for now ads are not going anywhere anytime soon, so let's discuss ways of making them less annoying.</p>\n<p><strong>BUT ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE DOING IT</strong></p>\n<p>The world we live in now is one of transparency. Everyone understands, in some extent, how advertising works. We are not stupid. We know you want us to buy your drink, wear your shoes and see your movies. You want us to see cool people using your product and have us see enough of it that it appears in our dreams. But we don't need to be tricked. And we don't want to be lied to. You don't need to \"sell\" us anything. If you present people with something they might want to try or buy, they might actually be happy to click on the ad or watch the commerical. The process should not be one of selling but informing, and letting people decide for themselves. But in order to do this the advertisement needs to match the content where the ad is being placed. </p>\n<p><strong>IT COMES DOWN TO THE WHERE</strong></p>\n<p>Look at movie theatre previews. Everybody loves them. A lot of people even make sure they show up early so they don't miss them. Technically those previews as just ads. Ads for other movies you might want to see. But why do people enjoy them? Because the odds are that the people who are at the movies are people who like to go to the movies. This is an audience who is interested in what is coming up next. However when you start to play commercials for other prodcuts before a film, it may lower the chances of a captivated audience. It is the same regardless of media and topic. If you are watching a golf tournament, previews about other golf events might be of interest. But a commercial for a new clothing line has a higher chance of being a miss. Same for ads on websites, I have seen ads on social media that I would never click on, ads for products that I would have no use for.</p>\n<p><strong>A.I. DATA MINING FTL </strong></p>\n<p>Now please don't take this as permission to go through all my data so you can find my favourite band and show me ads of other songs I might like. I kinda like having some semblance of privacy on the net. I don't want ads aimed at me but aimed at the area of interest that the content I am viewing is about. Because you never know what new things, in a field that you are interested in, that you may like. And maybe I will dislike what you are showing me and be annoyed that you are keeping me from the content I am trying to view. Which brings me to my next point.</p>\n<p><strong>IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE!</strong></p>\n<p>Ads can become a problem when they obscure or delay your viewing of the content you want. Even if the ad might be something you are interested in, it does not need to block the content at hand. Personally I don't mind click ads on the side of a website or links that I should check out. It can take away from the aesthetics of the site but as long as they do not hinder what I am reading, looking at or watching, then go ahead and tell me, with honesty, what you want me to look at next.</p>\n<p>That is just my two cents. How do you feel about ads? </p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p> <em>Exclusive article written for steemit by @funny</em></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>Being paid properly for online content is an issue we have yet to solve. There are some sites which don't pay enough and others that pay a small percentage of the content-creators a large percentage of the profits. It is a difficult problem to assess. You give too much money for quantity and you get flooded with garbage. If you give too little then it is not worth the effort of the person making the content. And even if the money is good, the amount of work available may not be. Some sites offer a small amount of jobs, which are quickly taken. While other sites only request pieces on certain topics that can be too limiting for a lot of creatives. This results in a challenging path for anyone who wants to make a living from their craft.</p>\n<p><strong>DOES REPUTATION MATTER?</strong></p>\n<p>Yes it does and the problem is it does a little too much. When a user becomes known on a lot of sites their work becomes featured. They get more opportunities, more views and the value of their word, their photos and/or their video goes up. And more power to them. People who have worked hard, deserve it. But the problem is it is not a guarantee that if you work hard you will be rewarded. A lucky post at the right time can go viral, while a person can spend years perfecting their craft and barely make any money. This leads to a very big gap for new users. They should never give up, but it is very discouraging to submit a piece of work in a sea of content and hope that enough people see and promote it. It can feel as productive as throwing change into a wishing well. And this results in the line between the rich and the poor becoming too thick, a problem we see plague us elsewhere.</p>\n<p><strong>CAN SEO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD?</strong></p>\n<p>SEO can help any person or business get their work out there. Knowing how to present your article with keywords and meta tags will lead to an increase in views, even if you are a lesser-known content-creator. However, the problem becomes that this, in itself, is a full time job. Learning how to master SEO takes research and work, and it is a field that is constantly changing. It is the same with learning to self-promote. You can spend all your time becoming a professional at promoting your work and you start to forget what your work was in the first place. A lot of creatives just want to work and improve in their field without feeling like they need to learn how to \"sell themselves\".</p>\n<p><strong>TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION</strong></p>\n<p>This is why steemit and other sites that pay for original content are great for content-creators. There is no limit to what you want to post about and if people want to read about it, you will be rewarded. Having your posts show up in a public forum without being filtered means all users have the chance to get an audience for their work and lets the people decide if it is something they want to read. Sites like steemit usually get this done by running ads and it is yet to see if funding with blockchain technology is a sustainable system. But as we find better ways to fund people for their work, we are starting to see sites emerge that are giving people who want to pursue their craft a way of making a living.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

And I have seen times when others have done it for me. We have all been there. Maybe its something small, like you pretend to like a band that you would never listen to, or something bigger, like pretending your an outdoors person when really all you want to do is stay home on a Saturday night in your pajamas. And this can work at first. If you are good enough at understanding what the other person likes, and wants, you can give it to them. But how long can you do it before it becomes a chore? When you start to act \"differently\" because you start to voice what you really think. At some point the person who you are will start to surface.

You are going to meet a lot of people that you will not, in one way or another, click with. That is just fine. So is being rejected. It does not feel great when it happens, but it happens.

+ "body": "<html>\n<p>I like it. </p>\n<p>I guess I should probably say more :p The system works very well for blogging and I can see it being a serious website for article writers and bloggers. Being rewarded based on upvotes helps to self-moderate the quality of the content and posts with a lot of upvotes, from what I am seeing, are going to be paid well. But the system could use the ability to see views. It is difficult to tell if your content needs work, is not the cup of tea to the people reading it or just uploaded at a bad time.</p>\n<p> The editor is easy enough to use for typing and formating, but could be a little more user-friendly for sharing images. Pictures need to be uploaed to a seperate site and linked before they show, which is a little cumbersome for people who just want to type, upload and post. But the plus side is that posts stay as drafts until you clear them, a nice feature if you decide to leave the page by choice or by accident. </p>\n<p>In terms of content, there is a lot of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency posts, which is to be expected and will only be an assist when the other topics of discussion start to match it in volume. If the site is organized properly, there is space for multiple topics of interest to thrive. More and more topics should open up as the user base continues to grow. And if you are interested in bitcoin or blockchains this is the place for you to post and find articles of interest. </p>\n<p>The social media aspect of the site is currently not one of its strengths. There isn't a network of friends or followers. You can follow someone but it only puts their posts in the recommendation list. And without notifications you can't tell if someone you are following posted. But the biggest problem (which is the networks biggest strengths in other areas) is that everything you post is permanently somewhere on the blockchain, which is going to lead to people being hesitant to post. People want to know they can delete things for whatever reason whenever they wish. On the upside, what hinders the social side of the network does help with the article side. Permanent posts means people will be more careful with editing. And not having your network's posts blogging your feed, you are more likely to discover new users and they in turn, are more likely to get votes. I would even go so far to suggest making the posts should be listed as anonymous until after the person votes for them. This will improve quality and give new users a better chance to get their articles seen. </p>\n<p>Overall the system itself has a lot of potential and like every other social media or forum website, will all depend on the people who join and the quality they posts. But still being beta, there is lots of time for the system to work out any hitches along the way.</p>\n</html>",

But for whatever it\u2019s worth, I should like to add my praise and gratitude as a fellow director for the unearthly and brilliant contribution you have made to the world by your films (I have never been in Sweden and have therefore never had the pleasure of seeing your theatre work).\n\nYour vision of life has moved me deeply, much more deeply than I have ever been moved by any films. I believe you are the greatest film-maker at work today. Beyond that, allow me to say you are unsurpassed by anyone in the creation of mood and atmosphere, the subtlety of performance, the avoidance of the obvious, the truthfulness and completeness of characterization. To this one must also add everything else that goes into the making of a film.\n\nI believe you are blessed with wonderful actors. Max von Sydow and Ingrid Thulin live vividly in my memory, and there are many others in your acting company whose names escape me. I wish you and all of them the very best of luck, and I shall look forward with eagerness to each of your films.\n\nBest Regards,\n\nStanley Kubrick",

But for whatever it\u2019s worth, I should like to add my praise and gratitude as a fellow director for the unearthly and brilliant contribution you have made to the world by your films (I have never been in Sweden and have therefore never had the pleasure of seeing your theatre work).\n\nYour vision of life has moved me deeply, much more deeply than I have ever been moved by any films. I believe you are the greatest film-maker at work today. Beyond that, allow me to say you are unsurpassed by anyone in the creation of mood and atmosphere, the subtlety of performance, the avoidance of the obvious, the truthfulness and completeness of characterization. To this one must also add everything else that goes into the making of a film.\n\nI believe you are blessed with wonderful actors. Max von Sydow and Ingrid Thulin live vividly in my memory, and there are many others in your acting company whose names escape me. I wish you and all of them the very best of luck, and I shall look forward with eagerness to each of your films.\n\nBest Regards,\n\nStanley Kubrick",
