Thank you for your reply, but that's actually not the case in this specific scenario. I've shared my thoughts, ideas, experience and knowledge for free, on various internet forums, on facebook, twitter and all that for several years. I do the same on steemit too. And I do things for fun, but I would rather entertain my readers with something of value, instead of sharing crappy content that no one is interested in. :)

However, steemit is slightly different as you can make money by doing just that. You do exactly what you've done forever on all the others platforms but you'll have a chance to make money here.

I could probably have used another term instead of reward, or at least explained that part more in detail..

There's different types of rewards. Rewards could be comments, upvotes or earnings.
In my case, with the post I mentioned above, I'm talking about the money indeed. As I've already been rewarded with more than 100 upvotes & comments. That being said, my goal with this post, or what I hope for, is to make this a big one, so people can get some insights, tips and suggestions. I want to contribute and I wish that others feel the same way.. Knowledge is power.
