SteemIt - My First Article That Broke $1.00

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Fellow Steemers, especially the minnows, I finally hit my first post over a dollar,  I am happy for that!  

I have read so many articles written or translated into broken English, I have started to speak and type in broken English.  I have looked at all the photos and the daily smoothie.  (I found the exact same recipe in five minutes on a health food site.)    I have read the 12 posts on SteemIt that are trending, passed the other bitcoin type articles by.  Read many articles about the voting system.  I can't decide whether Ned and Dan are driving the market down, and trying to bury posts.  I find the transparency  of the discussion interesting.  

I have the distinct feeling Whales and maybe even Dolphins have absolutely no idea what it is like to be a minnow.  They should start a new account without telling anyone and without cheating try to get some coins on it.  Even then they wouldn't share the user experience as they already know the inside ropes, the unspoken rules, the tips, the platform, etc.  Anyway, maybe I will post something later.  (By the way, this is how I use my other Social Media accounts sometimes, when I don't have much important to say, or I have something important I can't yet talk about)

Way to go! Good job.
I'm rooting for you!
I totally know how it feels.

Interesting idea. Yes, try different things. I'm here about a month. After getting some $0.02, what's next? target $10.00. yes, then recently surprise food challenge entry got me 3 digits and mind you I'm not great cook. Another more recent surprise, joining most of the photo challenge and never winning anything but some entries still got some cents, the last entry was my 2nd 3 digits. So, woo hoo..... I think it's but trying different things, you learn about yourself and maybe that's what your followers like about you.
Following you to learn maybe something different.

Wow!

Informative for novices. Thank you for the article)

Congratulations! I am still waiting for this to happen to me as well :-)
