My sister called me this afternoon to ask if i was still interested in the joining the new platform she had earlier told me about. A platform so different from facebook and instagram since she knows am the type of person that loves trying new stuff at first I told her I wasn’t interested.

but then i said to myself why not try this out……………………… then I decided to check it up online, did a few research and I discovered (https://steemit.com/trending/goals) Steemit is a social media platform where everyone gets paid for creating and curating content. It leverages a robust digital points system (Steem) for digital rewards. And yeah! To my greatest surprise it was a platform with very great and positive reviews. And it got my interest and I decided to embark on this journey.

Welcome to steemit.

I signed up and started to explore. At first it wasn't easy; it was a bit confusing and challenging as to how to participate fully and how my post can be seen.
I will like to say a big thank you to some personalities on this platform whose distinguished works has played a very significant role in helping me understand steemit better. @adsactly @canadian-coconut @ned I want to say a big thank you to you guys for the great stuff you all are doing here. I took time to go through some of your post and it really helped me blend in. I am totally grateful and urge you guys to keep up the great work. I wrote my first post on steemit https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@sandravibes/introduceyourself-sandra-okolo-nurse-and-a-brand-influencer.

I just want to say to all minnow out here on steemit the only way to strive in this community is persistent patience. Don’t feel down (https://steemitimages.com/DQmUZWty6DhHm14BSxsNSuSz2YiEkmdgRkRLXMNbKdUdvTP/image.png)

persistent patience will win for us. If (a) your objective or the goal is worthwhile (b) you have qualities to achieve it, and (c) you are sufficiently persistent, you will win.
