I remember my first blog in a different social blogging site now dead where I did enjoyed blogging after my friend had invited me there. I thought that I could never do it but for ten months I worked like I did in here making nights days and days nights.
My insomnia back then helped me work overtime so all in all I probably earned around 4,000 dollars which helped me with my needs. Then the site went out as it suffered spams and just basically went bankrupt.
But at first I didn't earned there a because of a violation of photo use as I didn't at first put credits to my photos but after I had rectified it they paid me almost nonstop with just a few posts unpaid.
After it went dead I resorted to pyramid schemes which I thought wasn't pyramid schemes. I lost some money but I just regarded it as a learning tool to make myself better next time and get awareness about what is good and what is not regarding such sites.
I went to day trading after that which I thought was fun but it was just only BTC mooning at that time that trading seems to be fun so in the end I also lost money. Now I am just careful about trading.
At trading I saw STEEM and how nice its price movements back then because of its wild up/down movements with its price. Then I learned about steemit as a blogging/social media platform.

I thought of making an account at steemit because I was already on a panic and I needed to earn money because my health is already deteriorating.
I just posted something and then somebody helped me so I can reach out with the community and I my entries got noticed by whales which catapulted me in meeting many friends that supported me until now.
Thank God that I love blogging because if not for my determination and perseverance I would have given up. But my driving force was my need as I want to save some money for the surgeries that I want to happen so I can at least have some hope to feel like a normal person feels.

So I will just continue to blog as long as I can because I know that in the future I will maybe not be able to type anymore and may God forbid that from happening. But for now I am using all my available time just to make my remaining time fruitful so I won't be much a burden to my family financially.
