My First Payout on Steemit!

Hey guys! I've finally received my first payout on Steemit!

It's not much but it's definitely better than the ZERO i get from Facebook!

What this means is that I've finally reached the 1 week mark on Steemit!

Let's see what I've accomplished so far:

Followers: 178 (thanks!)
Posts: 819 (95% are probably comments)

I'm quite pleased with how my progress is going. Sure, I may not earn much but Steemit is about meeting new people, people you would never have known existed if you stuck to other social media platforms. I do try to contribute "value" in the form of experiences in food and travels. Not sure if that is of value though..

I do know that I have a rather weird username "howtostartablog" and I don't post much on "blogging" itself. I think that's because I'm already doing so on my WordPress blog. Since I don't post pics of my travel there, why not do it here? It's a win-win situation for myself!

What are my next goals?

• Use @randowhale for the first time.

• Gain more followers over time. To be specific, those who are interested in my photos of food and travel or my random posts.

• Get a bigger payout to fund my monthly expenses, and hopefully one day provide a sufficient monthly income. Fortunately or unfortunately, my country's currency is rather weak, so $600 would be equivalent to the average fresh grad salary. I would be happy to get anywhere near there.

• Post better photos of food!

• Meet others with similar interests

• etc. etc.

Once again, I love to thank everyone on Steemit for helping me to accomplish my dreams of living the Internet lifestyle.

Here's a motivational quote for you guys!

Hustle until your haters ask if you're hiring.
