Hi everyone! So I just realized that as of two days ago, it's been ONE YEAR since I joined this incredible platform!
I've met so many incredible people, I've made enough money on a weekly basis for the most part to keep my operation going and I've found a way to not be censored!
I was encouraged by Jeff Berwick @DollarVigilante to join on August 1st, 2016. It took a little while to get used to the platform but as it improved, so did I (as it should be in any realm of life).
Since March, I've been posting constantly and it's changed my life. After YouTube demonetized me (World Alternative Media) almost entirely, I wasn't sure how I was going to continue working 18 hours a day to bring people great content and info! Well, Steemit has been the answer. If it weren't for Steemit, I honestly don't think I'd be able to do it!
This is the future of social media as I say so often. The dinosaur social medias like Facebook and Twitter are dying due to their decision to censor anyone that doesn't follow the official establishment narrative.
This platform excites me and I see STEEM itself climbing a good deal by the end of the year. The untapped potential demand is incredible!
Tell your friends and family about Steemit! Spread the word! Just in the last week I've been happy to see @KeiserReport join Steemit and start posting regularly! These are the types of game changers we need on this incredible platform and in no time, we'll see a mass exodus of the dinosaur social medias and a mass influx of free individuals who understand their value flooding the platform and being encouraged to create and in turn encourage others as well!
The domino effect is happening and it's all up from here! ;)
Congrats on your first year Josh, I've been on here for just 2 months but I wish I'd signed up when you did

Wow, Youtube demonetized you??? Did you have all original content??
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yup! All original. It was considered "too controversial". Apparently talking about central banking and derivatives is "too controversial".
The funny part is, despite being "non-advertiser friendly", ads still pop up which means YouTube takes all the money.
I've only been demonetized 90%. I still make some money off of YouTube. But I should be making 25000 a month rather than 2500 (at the most).

Congratulations on the year marker. I joined steemit 2 days ago and am struggling to get my head around how it works. Im a "youtuber" that followed a few of the channels that have switched to steemit and must say am disappointed by youtubes rules and regs. I understand that a lot of you guys put many hours and effort and even make it your full time job to bring us "sheeple" the real news the corporately owed big news channels won't. I'm glad there is now a platform where freedom of speech and opinion sharing is no longer censored and at least a small amount can still be made to help get the word out. Sorry if I've waffled on too much... Any way as I was saying congratulations on making a year ;-)

Hello @joshsigurdson,
I'm Arbi in Aceh Province, Indonesia. I just landed on steemit 3 days ago (08/01/2017). As a new comer in this planet I need to know much more about steemit. I was informed by my friend @ahduhawab while having some coffee in my town. He told me that I must leave the other social media and I have to join steemit soon. "Don't waste your time to write on other social media," he said. After reading your article I got a prove steemit is going to be one of the best social media in the world. Wow.
I think, you can imagine about our region, Aceh is too far from your place, right? But we have been a part of great platform right now. I totally understand I have been patient and working hard to be like you. And I want to thank you for this amazing post that motivate me to read much more and go on writing.
Hopefully, I can be your friend, and now I will follow you. Have a nice day Mister.
Regard from Aceh Province, Indonesia.

As my son (and the ninja turtles) like to say... BOOYAKASHA!!! This is the best social media platform I have ever had the pleasure of crossing paths with!
I can absolutely relate to what you are saying! I have only been here for 1.5 mnths and yes - have met so many AMAZING people, and formed so many new friendships!!!
Apart from that, I have been writing for a long time but always felt like it fell on deaf ears. The second I stepped onto this platform, I felt like I was home and that my writing finally served the purpose it was intended for!
I absolutely love it here, and I am finding that the writing is simply "flowing" out of me now!
Thank you for this post! it is SO great so see this kind of positivity spreading.... goodness knows, we need more of it in the world!
I have followed you and look forward to reading more about your @steemit journey :)
Thought I would share my latest with you too, if you care to take a gander... (no obligation)
“Sometimes when you lose your way, you find YOURSELF.” -
Those of you that have followed me from the beginning will know that from an early age (approx. 12) I began to walk a path that changed the rest of my life. Clubs, drugs, “sex and rock ‘n roll” as many would say.
