This price skyrocketing is just filling me with so much gratitude every day.

When @stellabelle was talking about Steemit on Facebook...
I thought she was crazy!
Later I decided to give it a "chance".
And joined.
When we got our first payout on July 4, 2016.
I remember almost falling to the floor in shock.
That's when Everyone on facebook thought I was crazy, Talking about Steemit nonstop.

Here I could express myself fully. Post my silly doodles, Thoughts.

Steemit gave me the resources I needed to quit my job, To travel, Get a car and a computer. Everything I've needed.

I've made friends all around the world and have been able to read about so many cool experiences others have had.
I've learned new life lessons and have been able to change my thinking, from the standard "Conventional" way of life.

I Felt Stuck

Before Steemit, I somewhat felt stuck. I was starting to gain that sense of freedom from starting my buisiness while holding down multiple jobs.
But I was really scared that I would be one of those people constantly just paying bills for boring stuff like a house, a car, And just living paycheck to paycheck working a job that I hated.

I saw no other way.
Steemit helped show me that there are more lifestyles than that. And I really can have what I want out of life. Steemit gave me the confidence to try out crazy things, Like quitting my job. To see if I can make it workout.
The price going up is only the start. I believe in Steemit and always have ;) Soon everyone will know what Steemit is.
Instead of people looking at you confused.
"Whats Steemit? What is a Steemit? "
HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW STEEMIT!?

What are your Steemit goals for this year?

I know the feeling of feeling stuck or getting nowhere, without Steemit anyway! When I initially looked at mining Steem and found Steemit, I started talking about it and found a couple in my classes who had started already, so I signed up and got myself rolling.

Like you it has helped so much, getting the new PC as one, having a bunch of spare money to help live off or as a backup if I ever need it is another. Steem and Steemit will keep going up and up and I too wish to eventually not need a job. Hehe ;)

You're the one that got me to sign up for an account. I have no clue how I met you, but I was one of the people on Facebook that thought you were insane until I started seeing how well you were doing. I'm sure I won't come close to being as successful as you are, but I at least hope to enjoy myself

I think you'll not get mad as time goes-by because that's what steemit is all about! It will make news yourself in that small village @melcollins. I also don't remember how I met @kaylinart but @jaraumoses remembers! You're making them go crazy! Uganda loves!

Great post!! I posted a handful of times in my first year as I didn't really "get it", however a few of my friends are on here and have had similar experiences to you :)
This year I have decided to make a post everyday even if it's just a quick thought or picture, it's a way to express myself just as you have said and I'm feeling great about it already.
Keep posting!!

Find myself in a similar situation recently. After graduating from a dead end degree in the summer, I spoke to an old friend for the first time in about two years and he told me about steemit. I've been able to post about my travels, save for future travels, meet new friends and have a general motivation for the first time in a while. Holding various coins and learning about crypto has been refreshing too. It was really nice to read your post.

All the best!

a me is happening the same to me to try to solve my economic situation encontre steemit @seanreilly help me with a vote to follow motivated greetings from venezuela

Steemit changes my life , im a big steemit fan , i made more the 20 videos on youtube a facebook group with 4000 steemit users ,more then 1000 person invited in this great comunity

Freedom and freedom is what Steemit is all about.
My major Steemit goal for 2018 is a gigantic one and that is buy myself a car....!!!

I have dreamed and wanted to buy myself a car for almost 2 fuckin years but shit has been hard.
I am 6 months on Steemit and am seeing a big ray of hope of me buying that long awaited car.

This year is my yeah hehehe.
Thanks to Steemit and awesome people like you for making this possible.

Indeed i am also Steemit crazy,my Facebook,whatsapp is all Steemit related stuff and guys are wondering what the heck is happening to me.

They do not know what they are missing and I feel bad when I explain Steemit to someone and they stay negative...!!!

I will keep promoting it though as I have new ideas in my latest post .

Steemit to the moon.
The car is coming

Aww ! I hope you get your car!!
I know how you feel. It also took me forever to get a car. I actually barley got myself a car last year in September thanks to Steemit!

Heheheh It's so addicting to be on here! I can't blame you ;)

Steemit is truly freedom
Registered my steemit account may last year but I left cause saw what I would call a greener pasture in gambling but after two months I almost went bankrupt and I came back to steemit and ever since the land has been green.

Meanwhile my plans for the year

I think I only have one plan this year

  • To become a steemit curator and help steemit minnows
  • you are not the only one @kaylinart, that thought the idea the steemit pays was crazy at first. i did too. but now like yourself am ever grateful to God, there what we called steemit.

    Right? This place is just crazy!

    Yea,

    We Love Steemit therefore this is a direct proof of Love = God :D

    Its just a one month on steemit and i'm addicted to it ... Steemit is real freedom

    Wow one month! Good job heheh :)
    |I'm addicted to it too hehe.

    I plan to keep writing and get involved a lot more with what's going on in steemit. Keep doing what your doing :)

      ·  7 years ago (edited)

    I think Steemit is a great opportunity for us. Because its future is so bright, we can go a long way in it and it really freedom.

    Right? Steemit will keep growing and growing!

    It’s been incredible to see the price spike! I’m with you, Steemit has changed my view of social media. I keep telling people about it, but not everyone seems to understand

    Congratulations on all your success. I just came back from an 11 day vacation during which I had no access to Steemit. I was shocked but pleased to see that the value of my account had approximately doubled during this period!

    @kaylinart I Love what STEEMIT has mean't to you and an me as far as FREEDOM in Life Choices. I am so Grateful that you are here and I am also very grateful for Jeff Berwick because he is the reason I am here. STEEM On !!!

    This is just the beginning. More and more testimonies coming up... Steemit is a diamond in the rough

    no doubt that steemit is freedom , life and fun

    I also feel forever greatful for finding Steemit ! I was also introduced to Steemit in a similar manner as yourself. I think many have been. But I think 99 percent didn't go through with it and really check out Steemit. I'm very glad we are in that other 1 percent category:)

    I am quite happy to listen about your success
    Very congratulations to you my dear
    Best wishes stay blessed

    Yes, Steemit is great platform but I am worrying about sustainability of Steemit. I have no clear idea about it. Please @kaylinart share your views for me.

    You are cashing out a lot of money from Steemit, @freedom might think that you are costing more than the value you add to the platform. You are always posting the same charts with almost no new value each day. Those posts are generating a lot of money because you are on auto vote by some whales. I tried posting technical analysis and the real payout should be 1 to 3 USD per post, like what i'm getting, and not 500 USD. That's why you are getting down voted and I agree with @freedom we should up vote people who are totally invested in the community and add tremendous value only

    What are you talking about? Did you post this in the wrong place? I am not posting any charts. And not cashing out a lot.

    My goals for Steemit this year entail becoming an influencer of massive value to entrepreneurs and aspiring dreamers like yourself. Thank you so much for sharing your story and I can’t wait to share how Steemit has changed my life. I remember starting and my account worth a penny... a couple of posts later and I’m almost at $11. Love being able to express and share what I’ve learned here on steem. #grateful

    Upvote for this comment please miaw ! ;) im new thank you

    "Steemit Is Freedom!" I agree your title. Because It collects people from different religions, languages, races, countries and geography. And you can freely share your opinions and comments and make money from it.(of course we do it in a respectful manner)
    So Steemit is wonderful place.
    Thanks for sharing this post :) @kaylinart

    I’m glad to see some actual, real-life people such as yourself making some side income from Steemit. It really shows that the model of actually paying folks for the content they create generates better content. I have seen many blogs on here that are scams - that have basically created multiple accounts to like their own content. I look at those accounts as pump and dumps. They aren’t in it for the long haul. I’m grateful to find blogs such as yours that are sincere and not here just to make a buck - but to change their lifestyle. I have tried so many things to get out of the rat race you briefly mentioned living paycheck to paycheck. But having my wife and our five kiddos to provide for makes it that much more tricky. I feel the blockchain technology is the currency of the future and really the future of so many things we use everyday. I also feel it is the perfect way to get out of economic slavery!

    I am very cheerful to tune in about your prosperity.
    ♥congratulations to you my dear..♥

    great post

    Thank you

    I feel the same way. Steemit and steem.. and all crypto movement in fact, have changed the life of many people. Freedom are in our hands.

    Thank you very much for sharing with us an excellent article about Steemit.

    Passion, drive and commitment... a wining recipe anywhere. Steemit seems to have fit you well... here’s to getting your Lambo!

    I think Steemit is an awesome open door for us. Since its future is so splendid, we can go far in it and it truly opportunity...
    Upvoted and resteemed

    looking wonderful

    It's pretty amazing. I'm still in shock I can make actual money here. Keep on keepin' on!

    steem it brought changes in our life. Although i did n't collect my first reward from this but still i am the fan of this amazing community. It helped to change my thinking philosophy i met here with wonderful people. writer here so creative a writing about inspiration and motivation which gives positive energy. positive energy is the real tonic for all of us. so keep sharing. @kaylinart All the best

    I'm hoping to grow in the steemit community definitely. Wish me look, you're posts are very motivating. Keep them coming.

    Haha “How do you not know steemit!?” I love it!

    Interesting article! thanks for sharing.

    Nice that steemit has been good to you. You have worked for it!

    If you went crazy about your payout in 2016, I can't imagine how you feel right now :).

    From a minnow's view in the trenches I can tell you it's happening on a very broad basis. I have been getting to know many of my fellow noobs over the last month or so and it's having a positive impact even for us. Tons of good people coming in from Nigeria, Venezuela and other places where 1 SBD goes a long way.

    Here in Nicaragua I've been telling friends about steemit but so far it feels like explaining bitcoin to a non-tech in the early days. I'm going to keep trying though.

    I couldn't agree more with you! Steemit is single handedly changing my life.
    I post what I love!

    But it is hard to power-up now, as the price is going up... any suggest for newbie?

    Steemit indeed sound so unreal at first to many of us eventually joined. It took the bravery of one guy(@tojukaka) to whom I have so much respect for now to convince me into joining Steemit.

    The story has never been the same since then. Social wise,information wise and financial wise

    What are your Steemit goals for this year?

    One of my Steemit goal this year is to reciprocate the love that was shown to me by going back to facebook to promote Steemit. I wont stop until someone is lifted into the true light of possibilities that Steemit present to mankind.

    My goals for this year are to replace my old beater car, 2000 KIA SPORTAGE, with a Mercedes-Benz.

    I believe!! ❤️❤️❤️ Love your steemit story Kaylin!

    U just written my heart out. I was thinking about it a lot. I can relate. 😄😄

    Awesome writing. I am learning. My goal in this year to be a Millionaire by steemit. Thanks for sharing such a good post

    Your are lucky because you had a chance to walk on steemt platform and You got a payout since July 4, 2016 , reputation 74 . congrat , my sis

    You got a 2.25% upvote from @mercurybot courtesy of @btcnoodle!

    I get more and more excited every day! I cant wait for this to keep getting bigger and bigger!!!

    I understand what you mean.

    But I find very funny when you said “constantly just paying bills for boring stuff like a house, a car” because in some countries being able to afford those things is like a super difficult goal for some people.

    Either way, we agree on steemit and steem. This is going to be the best year for this project, and the growth will be hopefully exponential.

    Steem on!

    I'm loving Steemit so far! My goals are to find some great writers to follow and eventually get away from FB. Resteeming this one for sure! <3

    Hi, im yzah a new steemians community, i follow you i hope that we will be friends too.

    I agree with you that steemit is freedom, fun and addiction..

    I’m so happy you’ve achieved such freedom! I’m working on it.

    My goal for 2018 is 5k Steem Power. Little by little.

    I'm new to Steemit, I love what I have seen so far. Thanks for sharing.

    I am full of gratitude for Steemit, too! I mean, wow, the opportunities! I am so glad I was talked into coming here; it's life changing!

    Steemit is indeed freedom @kaylinart. While here since October 2017, I've been able shed my introvert skin because steemit has exposed me to a whole lot of people who I thought I would never meet. So many loving people. My steemit goal is to improve on my post quality. No more slurpy posts from me.

    a success that could be your example of success. I hope to be successful myself. thank you steemit. Steemit is freedoom!!!

    Thats so cool! To be able to do what you want too without having to worry! Im a newbie so I only have small goals on steemit but also small steps will get you up the stairs :)

    Nice post

    ..cant hardly believe Steemit at first @kaylinart when my friend @marlon82 introduce Steemit to me I was a bit hesitant,but then I decided to give it a try and just like you I was shock at my first payout
    ..i did go to church on my first pay out and its so true that we will indeed learn something from different points of view of the fellow steemians around the world.

    I'm happy i made it here in time and pending the time i joined,i know it's not late. I'm still new and yet to understand a lot of things. But for few days i have been here, i can say this is the best platform one can belong and we all will make it to the top. Thank you so much @kaylinart, i'm now following you

    @kaylinart You are my inspiration to Steemit.The way you explained you are condition are same for us,the newbie on steemit :) thank for posting such a great content

    Beautiful photo and very thoughtful post! ❤️ My Steemit goals are to find my content calling!

    This is giving me the motivation to dig my heels in and get more into the Steemit community.

    Very Excellent! Upvoted! :-)
    Thanks for sharing! :-)

    Soon everyone will know what Steemit is.
    Instead of people looking at you confused.
    "Whats Steemit? What is a Steemit? "

    Lolz, this is happening soon.

    HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW STEEMIT!?

    That's the look I give friends I already told about steemit and they just heard it else where

    Loove this!!! Just joined steemit 4 days ago and I'm so inspired.... Thanks for sharing x

    This post is brilliant, I have had the same conversations with my work colleagues sometimes taking a lot longer than they should, people look at us and laugh but we know that one day our blogs will also payout, and we will receive the whale status just like you :) @kaylinart keep up the good work and thank you for your support.

    Your story is beautiful <3 I am in a similar position that you were at the moment, working and trying to pay off rent and college, it was tough before I started getting into Steemit. Now I can afford a new phone, not a shitty one that I could barely afford before and actually enjoy my life going to nice places, not being jealous of people that I server at work because I couldn't afford the same lifestyle.

    That fear of having a boring life is always there, what will happen and whats yet to come. However stories like yours are what keep me going and working hard, thank you for this positive and enlightened post <3

    Follow me

    Your gratitude is infectious. Thanks for sharing! Really awesome that you're able to live off of this!

    Follow me @minato i will follow you

    I remember when I first read the whitepaper. Once the concept really clicked in my head, I was insta-hooked. You were one of the first people I followed!

    My goal for 2018 is to continue to evangelize locally. I love my friends and I want them to enrich themselves more than Mark Zuccaburg as much as possible!

    Happy New Year K

    Steemit really has been awesome and I am glad that I am a part of it with you and everyone else on the platform. Such intelligent, fun, loving people that deserve every penny! Best wishes kaylinart!

    Super agree with you! Gave me an idea to set another goal this 2018.

    Right? Thank you.

    Yes... Steemit has been amazing. So happy I joined this summer.

    I know that feeling of being stuck. I think it is common particularly for creative people. I just recently quit my day-job and I feel much better (mentally- financially not so great). I just joined Steemit 2 days ago and already see the potential. I can't wait to explore it some more- I would love to be able to make a bit of money here... I am a painter and a photographer and love writing so I have a lot of content to share. Are there any great artists on here that you recommend I check out? Cheers!

    So good to be able to meet people all around the world and conversation over common topics. Not only do you establish great relations, you're rewarded for it too! Steemit to the moon 🙌🏼

    Super stoked to read this. I've been really into Steemit for 18 days now - and I've seen my #of followers grow, seen my posts go from earning almost nothing to a cent or 2, to now at least a few cents and sometimes a few dollars! I'm reminded of that time we were taught about interest with the "Would you rather have $1000 today, or one penny today, and double it each day for a month?" My goal for 2018 is to end the year with at least enough Steem to pay my rent for next year, or around $10K

    I love seeing a name I recognize in the location. I am actually in Utah now visiting family! Keep up the good work.

    Freedom = Steemit

    I'd like to make $100,000 in a year. Did you buy some steem or steem power?

    Freedom is the most valuable thing we have...I love steemit
