Welcome! If you're interested in crypto, this a great place to get into it. I came to Steemit from a post on Facebook calling it a scam, so I was dubious too, but I soon realized there wasn't anything to lose. In fact, I've done quite well. I'm Hive account@markrmorrisjr and I share a lot of fiction. I've been here about a year and a half and I've done alright for myself. Anyway, if you're interested in some tips on building your audience here, search the hashtag #dolphinschool for some of what I've learned.
