If you are new to Steemit you will have difficulties to earn anything before you found your own audience. To speed things up you can switch to the much more interesting platforms that also use the Steem blockchain. These five giants have massive amounts of Steem Power and vote up good content contributed via their platforms.

You left out Slothicorn!
Hey Slothicorn, I heard you are planning your own platform. Is it live already?
We are live right now, paying crypto artists for their Creative Commons art submissions, and we have the slothicorn.com domain purchased. Our website is being built and will be launching soon, along with our first Alternate Reality Game called Welcome To Slothicorn. We have a contest right now which will go to the best illustration of our Genesis story. The prize is 50 SBD.
Please leave a link...
To learn about our new 50 SBD contest with a deadline of Feb. 14, 1018 go here: https://steemit.com/slothicorn/@slothicorn/new-contest-win-50-sbd-for-one-illustration-of-slothicorn-s-genesis-story
Thank you!
Ok, cool. I will check out the new platform when it's done!
This Slothicorn sounds cool I'd definitely be checking it out :)
Users like you are looking out for we the minnows. We are grateful. I'll use these five wisely. It's not easy getting the audience on steemit. 6 of the friends I signed up with on steemit are no longer active after 4 days of on steemit and having zeros on their accounts.
LOL, If I would have stopped after four days my life would still be shit. :D
Very true @flauwy, the only success that is impossible is one you don't try for.
I agree! This is very helpful. I just signed up and have been just scrolling around checking out all kinds of posts but not really sure what's really going on and voting on anything, I found remotely interesting, which I just learned from another post a few minutes ago is not the thing to do.
Guess, I should have more carefully read the instructions.
I use steemed.com/@yourusername
To monitor some stuff
and
steem.supply/@yourusername
To check on incoming payments.
thanks, i will check them out
I want to thank you again, these links are the best information, I have been given so far especially steem.supply which has really helped me understand the payments that I am getting. It is far more detailed than clicking on the wallet.
No problem at all. If it is helpful dont be affraid to hit the upvote button :)
Thanks for sharing@flauwy You are mentor for new user like me. And I will surely use these five giants. Your posts always support us.
There is so much to learn when it comes to Steem!
Man I forgot about #busy. I'm gonna have to switch since their interface is nicer!!!
Yeah, I love that website. They have a much nicer editor as well.
Thank you @flauwy! Learned about D tube thanks to my brother which led me to discover Steemit and to finish it I learned about the other giants thanks to you. Saw this video on YouTube. I'm going to get very active as I truly beleive in these platforms
Hehe, I am always glad to help newbies and make money while doing so. Steem is coolest blockchain technology of them all!
Still getting used to this ^^ so many people actually answer comments it's amazing to interact like this. Can't wait to see what the future holds
Thanks for the helpful video. I didn't know what all of these were before. Enjoy your stay in Costa Rica, looks like a very nice day!
Thanks, I am actually living here.
Thank you for introducing me to the dmania.
That is a very funny platform!
thanks for the video. I am at the beginning of this fascinating road :)
It was the most fascinating road for me. :)
Great information man, it's good to find videos like this that can help new people on this platform including me. I definitely see a lot of potential in the whole Steem blockchain I never even knew they had all of these different programs and websites, very good to know!
Steem has a steep learning curve.
True that's why I am learning as much as I can to help my friends get started more smoothly than I did
i vote for Utopian. Probably the best among the 5. The newbies like us should thank you with an expensive bottle of wine for this information.
I prefer cheap beer. ;)
Krombacher Radler!
Hey @flauwy
Thanks for this. Been looking for a way to get around dtube. This is very helpful. I am on it to check it out now. Kudos boss
Upv by
@eurogee, the Steemivangelist and the founder of @euronation Newbie's Support Team
DTube and Utopian are my personal favorites.
Why these 2?
whats up i am brand new .. hit me up @bigchings onsteemit
Welcome to Steemit!
@flawy Thank you so much for sharing this educational videos with us plebs! Your posts are as valuable as gold for the beginners like us!
Plebs? Don't talk yourself down. We are all equal in the eyes of the universe.
Great video! Busy.org wants a lot of permissions for me to be able to log in.
All Steem platforms require your private active key to connect via SteemConnect. How else should you be able to post from there to your Steem account?
How do I resteem this video? I've been clicking on the option but nothing happens. This was great info in your video.
:)
I am so glad i followed you. You are awsome. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks ;)
Thanks for the information. It seems not that easy to start on steemit anymore.
Quite the contrary: It is a million times easier than when I started.
Interesante tu información, soy nueva en esta plataforma. gracias.
Bienvenidos a Steemit!
Great video. Short and precise.
Quick question for you @flauwy do you know if #busy takes a cut from a Steemians post like #esteem does or are they 💯 back to the user like #dtube?
Thanks for your time and posts!
No, they don't take beneficiary rewards. DTube however does take 25% of the author rewards.
Wow! Guess I’m gonna use them more often then because I really like their interface although I really like the night mode on #steemit.
Good to know about #dtube because I didn’t catch that.
Thanks for taking time to talk with the little minnows.
hey flauwy, I have a question for the past few days my upvotes have been going down from my original posts. If you can, can you explain what is going on?
That's impossible. All post went up nearly 50% due to the Steem median which lags behind 3.5 days. Maybe you were downvoted. That's the only reason I could think of.
We are new here and only knew Dmania and Dtube, thanks for the information :)
You are welcome, there is MUCH more than the eyes meet at first.
Thank you @flauwy. I just used these sites now. Wonderful.
Good luck with them.
Thanks for sharing, I'm new to Steemit and been trying to get logged onto Dtube with no luck. Does anyone have instructional video for sign up on these platforms? #newbie
loving the dmania now a days lot but these giants are really helping us all thanks for sharing the video :)
This is just the beginning and we will see many more platforms like them. I just learned that DSound is also having 2 million Steem Power.
I am sure and have felt a meaningful change, after joining some of the above flatforms. Thats realy help us. Thankyou so much
Totally different user experience over there.
I really love this GIF. Have you watched the original internet ad where this is taken from? So funny!
OMG I love the intro!!
That was created by @oendertuerk
Hey Flauwy thank you again for the golden nuggets following a guy who also told me about these and joined Busy.org which I will look at this morning.
I have no idea what to stream about in Live Stream would love to hear your thoughts, looking nice and warm there in the Costa Rica.
I am also trying to figure out good streaming content. You can try playing games or explaining something about Steem.
now I'll start putting these tags in my posts.Thanks, @flauwy you letting us know about these amazing platforms.
You are the third one misunderstanding this. The tags will NOT help you. You must post from their platforms directly or it will not work!
ohk ohk you mean to say we should start their services like dtube ,d live .
we should create our content according to their services then use these platfroms.
Thanks for your very informative video - I am learning a little more each day - I love writing about gardening, art and nature so every bit of help is much appreciated.
Steem is a constant learning curve!
how do i get into the blockchain ajarin i can know to play steemit because i just studied in steemit so get confused.
I am not sure what your question is. Do you want to access the Steem blockchain directly? That is being done with SteemJ as far as I know, a javascript language.
yes i want to assess directly and i want to experience this steemit system
I do not know deep steemit this is because I want to bertayak same garden friend who already senior. please teach me about this steemit. thank you way to raise its power steem
each platform provide user the power to discover something new its interesting phase of everyone life
And it is just the beginning of everything!
I already new a few but thanks for the tips ;)
Are you also from Germany?
Yes, I am from Germany. :)
Linked busy.org right after seeing this - tried utopian.io but they are facing some issues, will keep trying for sure.
Thank you for the insight very helpful all around :) #bpositive
You are number four in this post who thinks using a tag is enough. It is not!
You must post directly from Busy or one of these other platforms - NOT from Steemit.
I am :) thank you for taking the time to reply
content really matters good time for all thanks to these platforms and to you for introducing us to everything :)
I am doing what I can!
Thanks for demystifying these platforms a bit for us. Can't wait to get started with DTube myself.
DTube is the best!
That are really good tips! :D
I have not been uploading a lot of blog posts that's why I have not been uploading a lot from busy but I like it a lot.
Didn't knew You could post GIFs on Dmania I thought it was only for images.... :P Maybe I need to post my GIFs with them ehehehhe
Dlive I have tried when they were not public yet... but cause I have been so busy I havent had the chance to go back again for some fun eheheh but I should go and do one of my karaoke sessions.
Dtube is my home :P no matter what eheheh I am always here LOL
when it comes to Utopian I don't know if I have what it takes to be there :P when it comes to technical things I feel there are people way more talented than I am eheheh :P
Everyone has what it takes to post on Utopian but I have seen soooooo many people saying the opposite. They just don't understand how it works!
Eheheh well tk be honest with you it's been a while since i have opened the paged and chsck all that is going on in there... i bet you are right. Eheheheh
Thanks for the tips:
Also Zappl also upvoted me yesterday! Call that number 6 on this list lol.
There are many more platforms that I have not mentioned yet. :)
Indeed, I got lucky on DTube a couple of times. Thanks for the tip. Tschüss!
Yeah, DTube is great to get some upvotes but it will become much more difficult the more people are posting there.
Well I'm in trouble then. lol The videos I make require an entire day of work, or more, to put together and can't be live streamed; 4 tracks of audio and 2 tracks of video have to be mixed and cut. Nothing I can do about it. If all they want is selfie videos it's going to be a boring platform soon; I don't want to meet another 600,000 people since I can't possibly follow them all anyway. I do have an idea to mitigate that in a way that will also benefit other content creators that do similar stuff. At the same time it will reduce my own workload.
Thanks for this I've only been on Steam for a week and so far only used dMania...this will help a lot of newbies 💪
Welcome to the blockchain. Just one thing: Steam and Steem are two very different things. ;)
You are so wonderful follow and votes
@flauwy
Thank you.
Unbelievable view, @flauwy ! Thanks for sharing that and the amazing background atmosphere!
Awesome, simple insights on these networks. Looking forward to trying to see how I can contribute to Utopian.io in particular!
Cheers, friend.
I made a couple of tutorial videos about Utopian. Check out my YouTube channel CoinPuppet.
Will do! Thanks @flauwy
Everything is amazing, Dtube, Utopian, every day something goes out that is worth using. I'm interested in Utopian but I'm not interested in them, but if I listen a lot and since you're recommending them, I better investigate them a bit, I do not want to become a vine.
You are right, there are so many platforms based on Steem and every day something new pops up.
dmania tag, and the busy tag maybe i can still work on some awesome steemit logo to post to utopian-io tag. Thanks for sharing those 5 Steem Giants And Earn More discoveryNice contribution, this is an eye opener ,atleast these open sources/ tags will really do help minnows and i like the description and direction you give in using these tags @flauwy, i normally post about art on my blog, this means that i can now use the
Please DON'T confuse using a TAG and a seperate platform. Two totally different things. If you just use dmania or busy tag you will not get anything from their platforms. You MUST use their posting editors directly on their platforms and use your private posting key (or active key) to connect your Steem account with them.
just joined on here so welcomed these tips!!! great vid!!!
Wow, greetings to Belize from Costa Rica!
thank you!!! i have relatives in costa rica!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Users like you who are always looking out for others are truly appreciated by me. Another thing, how do I switch???
You can login to all the mentioned platforms with your private posting key or active key.
Thank you @flauwy for sharing this, being new here is really hard. I think other platform can indeed speed things up. Can't wait to use more platforms. Keep sharing .
Yes, I also went through many weeks before I made anthing here.
Great video. I wanted to go Costa Rica last year. Went Mexico instead. :) Going to look into the big 5 (I already have a tiny amount of experience with dtube) so I guess I'll have a look at them in the order you appear to rank them. Busy, first?
As far as I'm concerned, youtube was before my time. Dtube seemed cool.... It's just I must have spent a good three or four hours today trying to upload two videos I filmed yesterday. They weren't even very good videos, but as I have successfully uploaded a few videos before, I wanted to know what the problem could be.
I was pulling my hair out.
4 ) Then instead of copy/pasting everything into the comments box and the tag box, I chose to manually type it all up instead.
And that's when I found the answer! :D You must not copy/paste all 5 tags as a block. Because it won't be allowed into the blockchain. Type / copy-paste each one individually.
DTube's never going to break for me again. I've just got to find something better to put on it, now.
I never heard of that problem. I always type my five tags manually.
It would be an honor if you watched my 1st DTUBE video and commented! It would literally be an honor.
Below is a link to a 56 second video to make you laugh at our Crypto pain!
@flauwy Thank you for all of your posts. Your Steemy posts is what really helped us get started on here! Thank you and keep up the good work. https://steemit.com/crypto/@keepinitreal/zx1rtora
Hey, I watched the video but I found it not very funny as I was never really able to watch stuff where people get hurt. ;)
No worries, they are OK, just a hit to his wallet due to a speeding ticket. Thank you for the reply and as always keep up the good work!
