One month in Steemit – From 0 to 398 Followers and $65.11!

It had been one month since I joined Steemit. I cannot believe that I will last this long. I had a brief history of blogging with Blogger.com and making a website to do my blogging. Those ventures last not more than a few days. I am very thankful for @marketreport aka Gregory Mannarino for introducing me to this platform as I am watching his financial news report. Actually, I had known this platform a little earlier but I brushed it off and I am a little bit regretful about this decision. Anyways, it is good to be jumping on this platform now than later and using it as an opportunity to earn money and producing quality content.

My passion in reading and writing had shot up significantly since joining Steemit and of late, have not been playing computer games like I used to back in the heydays.

People had come and quit using this platform, for instance, @dezeazy, and I am quite disappointed about that because their posts did not generate so much profit. I want you newbies to understand that “Rome or my favourite empire, The Ottoman Empire, did not build in one day.” People don’t know you at all even if you are the best writer unless you had a following. You need to go out there, out of your comfort zone, commenting and upvoting on other people’s post whose publicity is much higher than yours. Your comments must be related to the blogs and comment thoughtful comments ,not like short ones like “Nice post” or “I like your post”. People would notice that you commented on their post and check you out.

I want to thank @taskmaster4450 for indirectly encouraging me to continue on with Steemit with his motivating articles and @swissclive for upvoting $6 on a comment I don’t remember because I also don’t remember that I participated in a contest. I merely asked him very nicely to visit my blog. This is a post “Up to $75 vote from me if you encourage newbies. Newbies can also get same for a good blog. Closes 26 December.”

I want to mention the fact that this two “anonymous” person who had a lot of SP had been upvoting some of my best content on my blog, @hr1 and his “assistant” @bue. They had motivated me to continue to produce content that I like. Thank you so much for your upvotes and supporting minnows like me who struggled to get my content in the vast world of Steemit.

In conclusion, I have a lot of schedules and content that I wanted to share with you driven partly by monetary incentives and trying to get my brand out in Steemit. Thank you Steemit at the bottom of heart to give light to my life.

As a celebration of my one month here in Steemit, I will pick a random winner using pick.esteem.ws who upvoted and commented on this post. The reward is only 1 SBD. The reward will be given at the end of seven days. I want to give back to the positive community who had done much.

Signing off! Sejuk!
