My Steem Journey + Thank you!

The start of my Steemit Journey...

When I first joined Steemit over a month ago I did not know much about the platform, besides the fact that it was free from censorship. I originally did know what I was doing, being focused on always improving my content I was able to amass over 80 followers.

How I looked when I started.

It took me some time to trust steemit, but I have grown to love the platform!

What I learned...

In the beginning I was hesitant about interacting with my followers because I have always been an introvert. When I realised that this platform had few trolls, I started to trust the community more and have really enjoyed interacting with everyone.

Originally I did not know what Steem was and thought I would have to encourage people to become Patreons and donate. I soon realised that I earned from my posts so asking for contributions was unnecessary.

Some important lessons:

  1. If you like a comment, or post UPVOTE, especially if it is productive!
  2. Reply to every comment that is productive.
  3. Quality over quantity.
  4. If a post is high quantity RESTEEM! A lot of people on Steemit don't do this enough!

My Plans...

Steemit has given me the chance to earn an income to support myself, while I help my followers to survive and thrive!

As someone with Aspergers, gaining an income is something that is quite difficult and Steemit has given me the opportunity to do this.

I intend to post a lot more content for all of you, this content will include 'premium' content from my other platforms.

Steemit is going to become my main source of income as I grow my blog!

My blog is going to explode!

Seems like frustration is a standard part of the journey. Was the same for me but after surpassing 250 followers it started to become a bit better i must say! Keep up the good work!

Thank you!

Hi @aspieprepper thanks for sharing your experience with us :) I just got Steemit 3 days ago and yesterday I just about had a breakdown because I was so confused and spending way too much time reading articles trying to figure out how to interact on here. I too, am an introvert. That was my first post. I was scared to interact but this post is a reminder that this platform is different :) thanks for sharing, I'm following, keep it up :)

Excellent reply - upvoted!

Good lesson! I followed you!

Thank you!
