How to Sponsor Someone to Become a Steem Blogger

Steemit.com is gaining a lot of popularity for many reasons, and becoming a Steem Blogger isn't an easy task. If you are someone who is trying to get an account on steem, you may have to wait up to 7 days for your account. If you cannot wait to get started on Steemit, you have several options. You can buy some btc, ltc or steem and use it to pay for an account from anon.steem.network - These accounts take less than 30 minutes, provided you have the crypto payment.

Edit: Steemit has made account creation much faster. <3

What is a Steemit Sponsor?
A Steemit Sponsor is a community member who will make a social agreement with you to assist you in creating your account for one of many reasons including, bettering the Steemit community, or repayment.

@Gktown is the first example of a publically sponsored account.

^{^ Obligatory}
By reaching out to some individuals and telling them the type of content Gktown hoped to produce on Steem, we gained social buy-in. Other bloggers wanted to engage with our content and saw Gktown as an ally in support of the Steem community.

How to Get Sponsored
Be polite. Explain your intentions and the benefits that your content can bring the community. Be ready to offer your first 20 or more Steem, and also consider that if your investor is seeking payment they will be judging you on your ability to create good content regardless of if they're seeking repayment.

1. Make a Connection
2. Pitch for your Account
3. Ask for Sponsorship
4. Respect their Response

^{^ Does anyone want pizza all of a sudden?}
Remember that Sponsorship is a Social Contract. It can be something that is respected and benefits the community by bringing in talented writers, Steem supporters and allies. That said, beware of the scammers.

You can protect yourself from scammers by getting to know the individual seeking sponsorship. Ask to see previous work, other social accounts. If you decide to sponsor this individual, it may be best to handle account creation on anon.steem.network as well.

^{^ Steem sponsoring is actually not like this.}
