We all need friends that can force us into things that will promote or improve us. This is exactly my story. I was forced into steemit by my pal 
We've always been business partners from out undergrad days but I was very skeptical when he told me about steemit. I had lost some cash to ponzi scheme and I was never going to get trapped again.
But steemit was not a ponzi scheme. I didn't need to invest anything, I just needee to be creative!
I asked several questions.. Where is the money coming from? Do I have to refer anyone? How can i withdraw? Hope there is no limit? He was patient to answer it all.
And so on the 27th day of December, I wrote my introductory post and wham, I posted it.
He told me I could make a good amount from my intro post. I was eager to see how much I would make. As you would guess I made a total of $2! Hehe..
I didn't give up.
I knew I had prospects. I continued posting until I made $161 on one post! That was the happiest day of my steemit life.
Its not been too rosy and payouts has not been too high but I am glad I have a friend that could force me into doing something good for my life.
Today, I have spoken to more than 5,000 youths through the SteemVangelism project and I am filled with joy when I see newbies tell me how steemit is changing the way they live.
