I just signed up for steemit one week ago, after watching a video on youtube talks about it

At first i didn't know anyone here, and didn't know what to do, just about half an hour later i started commenting on some posts and i got some replies and things started to feel OK, i felt like I'm no longer strange here

Now after spending one week on steemit, i will tell you all the things i liked about steemit although i wasn't so active here

1- I don't spend much time on Facebook

one thing that i was struggling with is how can i spend less time on Facebook, i tried many times with many ways, and it all didn't work, but after using steemit for a week things changed fast, and also i don't regret the time i spend here

how many times have you tried to stop using Facebook, or at least spend less time on it ? _

2- I do what i like

yes, i do what i like which is reading and watching videos on things i like, but with out regret, doing that on other website with getting that money makes you just wanna focus on your work, and feel some kind of regret for spending time on reading or watching.

getting paid for spending time on social media is like a dream, isn't it ? _

3- I improve my language

Yes, by reading that much every day i think it's good for my English learning, reading and writing are very important skills for every language learner, and i believe after few month of using steemit my English is going to get better( i know it's so bad now! lol )

4- I feel I'm helping others

When upvoting any post or curating i feel like i helped someone, yes i don't have much SP but i do my best

5- I don't see annoying ads anymore

I used to use ad blocker on my browser but i still get ads in facebook, these annoying ads which i used to hate , ,and also most websites would cost you more to watch content with no ads, here you get paid , watch content and no ads

6- i expect a lot from steemit

Ifeel like i'm making something good here helping this website to get bigger by being a member ( i wish i can be and active member ) and i also believe in the currency and the whole idea

7- I want to be a steemit ambassador

Just today i watched the trending video about [promo-steemit](https://promo-steem.com/), and i thought being and Arab member of steemit at early time, why don't i help promote the website in the Arab world

let me know what you like about steemit!
