When it first arrived on the scene, Stepn was a force to be reckoned with. With the high coin prices at launch people were reporting making $200+ a day just by purchasing some digital sneakers and walking every day. Now that the coin prices have stabilized a bit, the question is, is it still worth it to invest in the Steps app? While this is not financial advice, I believe it is a great opportunity to explore the app and the offering to determine if it is right for you.
Most individuals as of this writing can get involved in the app for around $40-$50 dollars, purchasing your first common shoe and starting to learn about the ecosystem. While this setup won't make you a millionaire, it will help you get off the couch, making a few cents per day and best of all, getting into better physical shape. My goal with this article is to give you a few tips on how to get started so hopefully you can get off on a better foot than I did.
Your First Shoe
When purchasing your first shoe my recommendation is to purchase a common shoe with at least two gem spots that are allocated for efficiency. Ideally your other two slots would be comfort and resilience but some combination of 2+ efficiency spots and comfort or resilience is a great place to start. You will also want the base stats of the efficiency to be at least 9 so that when you purchase your gems they will provide an adequate boost. There is a great website to help you find shoes called https://steps-market.guide. Here you can put in the exact criteria you are looking for and it will tell you the current shoes in inventory that match that criteria. Once you locate the shoe head to https://m.stepn.com to leverage your Stepn wallet to make your first purchase.
Get Moving
Your next objective is to get moving. You will see that every 24 hours your energy bar will replenish, letting you early GST tokens for getting up and moving. You will want to make sure that you walk every day to ensure that you are maximizing your profitability. As you walk with your new shoe you will earn GST tokens that, once accumulated can be transferred to your wallet and converted into GMT tokens, allowing you to purchase GEMS or additional sneakers. You will want to focus on accumulating GEMS, preferable efficiency GEMS to start, so that you can increase your earning potential on your new sneaker. You will also want to take the opportunity to level up your sneaker and distribute your additional points to help you maximize your earning potential. You can download the STEPN Sidekick app to help you identify how to best distribute your points to maximize your earning potential.
Upgrade and Expand
After you get the hang of the app you will want to accumulate GST tokens to eventually purchase more sneakers to increase the total amount of energy that you receive each day. This energy, along with upgraded GEMS, are what will help to increase the amount of GST you will make in any particular day. This is where things start to compound and your expansion pace increases. At this point you will want to look into purchasing a shoe that has multiple comfort GEM slots so that you can begin to build a shoe that will earn you GMT. For this shoe you will need to increase the level to 30 and distribute the majority of your points to Comfort. Along with your 2+ comfort GEM slots, this will help you earn GMT directly, and not have to convert GST to GMT to purchase in game items.
Accumulate
After you have upgraded your sneakers to a level you are comfortable with, you will then convert to earning mode where you will earn GST and GMT and convert it to SOL in order to transfer it out to your wallet for accumulation and wealth building. If you haven't tried the app yet give it a shot. It is a really fun and strategic
