Newly Minted Minnow .. Happy as a Clam.steemCreated with Sketch.

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Mad props to everyone who thought my work worthy of an upvote and a valuable contribution to the STEEM community. It felt really good to watch the first rewards trickle in over the weekend and I have since Powered Up every SBD I've received so far.

So, to all newcomers, don't get discouraged, keep putting your best foot forward, be engaged and new friends will find their way to you.

And my #Introduceyourself post was terrible. It made less than $3. So, the path to #Minnow was a long one as 0.14 SP and 0.001SP trickled in.

But, you know what? It doesn't matter. I've had more fun writing here than I've had professionally for months now. Steemit is a perfect complement to my other work and I look forward to writing about anything that strikes my fancy in a way that I haven't since I started my first blog back in 2003.

And it is an incredible opportunity to build an audience. Being a minnow is the start of the journey.

The reward is the fun you have along the way.

Leave a comment if you, like me, revel in the challenge and opportunity facing all us Minnows.

I'm on the same boat. Us minnows will grow bigger!

Followed for more updates, let's see where this journey leads.

Will look and see if I even qualify for minnow status. It's a solid learning curve here but I'm loving trying to figure it out. Thanks for helping me to connect the dots a bit more. Upvoted and following you. Wishing you the best of success here!

Oooh! Where did you go to get those stats? I'm pretty new too and still feel like I'm trying to figure out how everything works.

www.steemitboard.com just put in your acct. name and it'll tell you everything.

Thank you so much!!

Well look at that, I'm a minnow too!

I know that feeling! I was so excited when my SBD was $0.26 after the first week's payout. (Which was last week... LOL)
It's easy to get caught up in the competitive scrabble for votes so posts like yours remind me to relax, have fun, and meet people.
Thanks for that! And nice to meet you. :)
