Who am I and why am I here?

Hello everyone!

Let me be completely honest with you. The main reason why I joined steemit is that I want to earn money. I guess the same reason brought all other people here even though there are those who say that they just want to make friends, share some information etc. Hypocrites. (Correct me if I am wrong.)When I first heard that you could get cryptocurrency by just posting different stuff, I couldn’t believe it. Honestly, I still don’t understand how this whole thing works, and I would be very grateful if someone could enlighten me. Yet the idea of this website seems to be very appealing to me. I should admit though that I had some doubts at first since I was not sure what I could write here but then I looked at some posts… a girl uploading dancing video, a guy posting a page of the Quran every day… Forgive me for being arrogant but I believe I can offer much more than that. And you know what, my dancing skills are not that bad too. I suppose if I run out of the ideas for my posts, I can just shake my ass and upload the video and it may bring me a plenty of votes.

The reason mentioned above, however, is not the only reason why I signed up here. Writing is one of my passions in life. I am more a writing person than a speaking one if you know what I mean. In past I tried writing a few books, and in my humble opinion, they were great. Probably, they would have become best sellers if I had finished them. I often think that I have missed so many opportunities and made so many mistakes… Anyway, I hope that one day in future I will have my book written and published. If there are people, who will be reading books by that time of course. So if you see the name Yuliana Varfolomeeva on the book cover, you should know that it is me. Yes, my name is Yuliana. I apologize for not telling my name at the first place. I am also sorry if I make any grammar, punctual or any other sorts of mistakes. I had an idea of giving my writing to someone to proofread, but I changed my mind later because I would not feel well constantly asking someone for a favor. You are probably wondering why I am not writing in my mother tongue then. Actually, I would love to do that, ohne Scheiss (literal translation: no shit). Unfortunately, this website appears to be not popular among Russians yet, consequently, I would not receive much voting power for my writing in Russian. Everything is simple. Everything comes down to money. Money runs the world.

Finally, I would like to become famous. Well, who does not want that in our century? People are uploading pictures on Instagram of where they live, what they do, with whom they go out, what they eat and so forth. Almost everyone wants to show off and prove how cool/smart/beautiful/and blah blah blah he or she is in order to feel significant. The “private life” is gradually disappearing. This change did not happen accidentally though. I believe it was planned by Special Forces and governments, so that it would become so much easier for them to spy for people. By just looking at your social network profile, they can get all the information they need. Very fast and very convenient, isn’t it huh?

And… all inspiration has left me, I’m sorry. Thank you for reading my introduction.

Hello @yuliana.va...
Very beautiful writing friends, if you like art such as paintings, caricature faces scenery, and flowers. You can visit my account named @zhangwei93, thanks. Do not forget to follow me and leave some upvote there, Nice to meet you.

Hello @zhangwei93!
Sure, I will check your account.

Welcome to the Community! Also, don't upvote or follow @khunpoom, he's an annoying little bot. You'll find a lot of those around here.

I don't know much about @dobroman, but that account is likely also a bot, or spammer of some sort, considering his/her/its reputation is a lowly 4.

I wish you luck with posting your interesting stories, and becoming famous! :)

P.S.

  • Watch Out for Bots (there are some clever ones on here)
  • Don't try to get famous by asking people to "follow for follow"
  • You're limited to the number of times you can "like" posts in one day, so make them count on the posts that you truly enjoy (If you keep your upvotes limited to 10-15 per day you should be fine).
  • Follow people who you feel provide you with interesting content, not just the ones with the most "Steem Power" and powerful upvotes.
  • Build your own brand.
  • Interact in the community.
  • Avoid the pitfall of thinking that Steemit is a "get rich quick" platform. If you make $100 over your first month here, that doesn't indicate that you'll make the same $100+ each of the following months you spend on here.

Hmm, I think that covers most of it. Thanks for joining our community! I look forward to seeing more posts from you!

Thank you for your tips @evolved08grs! They are really useful!

I didn't know that there are bots here. It took 5 days for my account to get approved, so I thought they had found a way to detect bots and prevent them from signing up, that is why it took so long. But it seems that my guesses were not correct.

There are bots, unfortunately, but there are many of us who are fighting against them. So hopefully they don't survive for long!

Thank you @khunpoom! I'll check your account:)

@yuliana.varf - - Incredible post and I give you 100 brownie points for your blunt opening statement! That's true that most of the crowd here is just to make quick money, however, soon you will realize that there is no easy way and everyone who is making good money, they work so hard.
Anyways, I want to welcome you to Steemit. I hope you enjoy your time here, its a great community. I'm sure you can add value to Steemit.

Stay Tuned!

Thank you @cryptoqu33n!

Let me disagree with you. I read some posts which, to put it mildly, didn't seem to be a result of someone's hard work, however, those got upvoted by many people. So not everyone is making a good money because of the interesting content.

Best wishes!

@yuliana.varf - Good observation, however, I want to add something to it. Not every upvote worth same value. May be someone's single upvote worth more than upvote by 100 other people here. You have all the right to have your opinion and I respect that. Welcome my friend once again.
