if you coming in from youtube you will probably know and have gotten used to monthly payments that reach a certain threshold that you set as a payment on your google adsense. with steemit, you are paid out in a 6 day turnaround. it's kinda weird to get little drip feeds of funds in steem and steem dollars but you will soon get used to it. stick with the 50/50 split and also split what you earn and put 50% back into the platform as steem power. keep that steem power and you will do well on the platform and your reputation will build much quicker especially if your content on the platform is good.
the st33m amplify project is an effort to bring vloggers, content creators, youtubers and to bring in general the bloggers of the world into steem and show them they can add steemit to their income streams and have a more open, ad-free experience and share the wealth of their own successes over here on the platform instead of a centralized blog that currently pays them little adsense or nothing at all.
