Hey guys,

Don't you just love being part of this community? It may sound strange to you but the fact that it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to post an image here for my last post kind of adds to the allure of this platform - it's so early in it's evolution yet already has so many loyal users. I found out yesterday that one blockchain user gets between 500-1000 USD per post he makes here, amazing!

Before this I would always wait until a platform, product or service was somewhat established before spending time on it but it's really exciting to be part of this now. I look forward to the day when I can tell some friends that I started using Steemit before there was even a button to use bold or italic text.

Kind of like being on Facebook when it was just for people from Harvard :D

What incentivized you to start posting here?

Peace out,

This is definitely the best platform! Even when you make a few dollars on a post it's more than I used to make on social media.

@artedellavita Right?! That's what makes this platform so exciting although I am more fired up by the idea that it's decentralized meaning that rewards are distributed between the users, not Mark Zuckerberg :D

What is your favourite social media platform other than Steemit?

I love The8App referred to me by @infobunny
It's similar to Instagram but you have the opportunity to make money via their ads. And the templates are very stylish!
I also love LBRY which allows you to earn crypto (LBC) unlike youtube. It's like youtube with a Steemit mentality! Here's my link if you'd like to join https://lbry.io/get?r=4sPhh

Oh wow nice I'd heard good things about LBRY but was not aware they had a working product already, thanks for letting me know and I'll definitely use your sign up link!

Edit: I see now it's an "early access" thing but still excited to see what the platform is like when they launch.

It's already running but they make everyone wait to confirm their account. I hope you enjoy using it!

Dont expect making that much money from the start, you may get lucky once or twice, but you have to grow from there... Good luck!, you will love steemit!, cheers!

@dreamrafa Thanks for the heads up man! I agree it's important not to get one's expectations too high.

I have over 2700 Steem Power and I created this campaign which I hope will help improve content on Steemit:

I will upvote every constructive comment I get on Steemit with 5-10 cents in order to create a WIN-WIN-WIN.

You win by having me upvote and follow you, I win by having great comments and more followers and above all Steemit wins by getting better content.

Read about the rules and conditions here.

Please respond here or on my post with any feedback you have, thanks!

My dad told me about Steemit. He told me to join and post so I did.

You do everything your dad tells you to? :D Why did he want you to join?

He knows I like posting on the internet. I dunno, he said he watched some video with this guy talking about Steemit. It took me a while to actually find the site, as I thought at first he was talking about Steam (the gaming site) and I said I would have no interest in that because it's about gaming. He said it wasn't the same site and I kept searching and finally found it. I told him there is a waiting queue to be a member and that I would probably never get accepted. But it only took a few days. He said it was a good site for people who are interested in cryptocurrency and that I should learn about it as a younger person.

In that case your father is a wise man!
Crypto is the future and I challenge anyone to argue against that point.

Yes he is, so wise. Thanks!!!

@sectual Your dad knows where it's at! :D

How has your journey on Steemit been since?
