My First Week in Steemit

"I joined Steemit because of the money but I will stay here because of the people"

Hi, steemians!

Are you having a great time? I hope you are!

Honestly, I joined Steemit because of the thought that I can earn money from it. I never believed at first because I never knew the business behind blogging and all. But, I still join anyway because the invitation I got from my friend @jenesa is really tempting. Yes, it was because of money!

Because I can manage having many accounts, having a new platform where you post something do not really bother me- I have 3 twitters, 3 instagrams, and 2 facebooks, and 1 tumblr. Well, I have my personal reasons why I have them.

Since it is a new platform for me and has a different display and arrangement of icons, it took me sometime to familiarize and know the function of each. I only thought of the following:
Upvote = Like in FB, Heart in Twitter & IG
Reply = Comment
Resteem = Share in FB, Retweet in Twitter.

I asked my friend @jenesa what I should post. She said "anything" so, I posted my very recent artwork of a K-pop idol. I didn't know that the first post usually starts with #introduceyourself. The second post was my entry in a #nudedrawing contest hosted by @yoganarchista. I have had my #introduction on my third post. And the rest was history.

So how was Steemit in my first week?

It is GREAT. Aside from the idea that you can earn money, what makes this platform different and unique is that the people here are so positive, warm, and motivating! Although, I have never been cyber bullied or bashed by anyone in twitter, facebook, or instagram, but I've seen a lot of disputes, negativity and irresponsible posts there. People tend to forget the beautiful intentions of the creator of these social media platforms. I joined steemit because of the money but I will stay here because of the people.

Aside from the two big factors, the chance to earn and build a community in steemit, I am also given the chance to read posts that are very interesting and well-written. In this note, I hope I am also a contributor of good stories, reads and blogs. Moreover, I can join in fun contest such as #artcontest and #photocontest which I am very interested at because I love to draw and take pictures. Lastly, it finally gave birth to my skill in writing blogs, articles and poems.

I still have so many things to learn in steemit to really grow with it and be able to be called a GREAT STEEMIAN. No pressure, no worries! Just good vibes, positivity and LOVE.
