This is an interesting video encouraging people to join the STEEM community. He describes himself as a man who needs to stay at home and assist an aging parent. I can relate to this. My own parents are in their late 80s and early 90's and require assistance to remain relatively independent.
One thing about this blockchain is that not only am I on the road toward establishing another career (this time blogging) but it also gives an opportunity to help the people that I care about or even strangers who have been encouraging to establish something for themselves as well. As an example my daughter Rebecca has earned $1.38 Steem Dollars. However the current price of Steem Dollars is $16.50 CAD. A large part of that can be accounted for because my steem reward is over 20 cents. In addition my investment in STEEM, and voting for myself, I can also count on a close circle of a the ones I am closest to contribute their upvotes

I invested $1872.36 in STEEM (you can scout my wallet history searching for Blocktrades) and I invested $450.00 with the steemians closest to me (and would allow me to give them a present). With my account now worth $3,314.68 (the moment as I write this), I am quickly approaching the point where I will have doubled my investment. Years ago I took $1000 and parlayed it into $12,000 in a couple of years as an exercise in investing in the stock market. Another exercise that I tried took $1000 and made it zero in a couple of months. I used both of those examples in a course that I was giving. So far, STEEM is one of the best ways that I have used to establish a financial stream with. Not only is there a financial reward, but I have found that it makes better people which is not the case in other areas of investing.
Last year I donated bee hives on my sons behalf to a charity which helps people in Africa establish sources of income. I also donated on behalf of other people goats, chickens, medical supplies and school books - in a way this was an experiment on how people would embrace a concept they were vestigially a party to. This most recent post by my son Edward describes his aspirations for keeping bees. There are 3 levels of personal communications. On one level people talk about other people (gossip). The second level people talk about places and things. The third level which I consider most important is when people talk about hopes, dreams and aspirations. STEEM allows people to express these things and be rewarded for these thoughts.

Thank you so much for this post! I am planning to persuade a few family and friends to join Steemit this holiday so we will be making the circle bigger :)

Hi Lucy
I hope that you have success in this. When I first started this, I thought that this would be a good communication tool. I envisioned that people would gather in groups of six people ... each having other connections of 6. These groups would connect to each other as hexagons found in a honeycomb.
You are the sum of the 5 closest to you. I am pleased that my children and their closest can come together and inspire each other. That is why I keep pestering you to post content... so that you can inspire the people closest to you. The money is just a byproduct.

Hello @rachit1905.
I cannot counsel you on this because, I don't know what makes an interesting post. What I would like to see though would be your interpretation of the posts that you make. For instance your first post Adani drops contractor for Australian coal mine is just a cut an paste from an article written on NASDAQ
For one thing, you will get downvoted and your reputation will become so low that you will become invisible (I have illustrated this). Secondly I would be more interested in any insight that you might have in the subject than just reporting it. I too reference videos and articles that I have read but I attempt to make them relevant to my own perspective. Take the parent post. I linked in the video but commented about my own thoughts and experiences.
