Welcome to Steemit! I'm with you on the steem evangelism thing. I've brought a lot of friends over. You can make some decent money here. I'm a professional writer, so my results may not be typical, but I made almost $60k USD in my first year. I'm @markrmorrisjr and I share a lot of fiction. I've been here about a year and a half and I've done alright for myself. Anyway, if you're interested in some tips on building your audience here, search the hashtag #dolphinschool for some of what I've learned.
