I have not written articles for personal growth for a long time ever since I started actively writing educational articles using 
I am aware that many of my followers followed me when I first started because I usually shared ideas of growth through my experience in steemit.
I have recently used 
I would like to write some thoughts about it.
The driver behind
I have been reading his posts about his regular workout routine to keep fit.
Although they were short posts but the fact that he has such determination to regularly exercise to keep fit really is a shame to us who work, eat and sleep daily.
We have neglected our need for regular exercise. I have developed quite a belly to compete with a pregnant lady for sure.
His posts do act as a good reminder to me the need for fitness.
Can you imagine for a man with heavy commitment with work and yet he is able to stay fit with regular exercise?
Modern society with heavy stress in our day job has given us too much excuses of tiredness due to heavy commitment.
He is really a nice role model for us to stay fit and yet do well in our daily job.

I decided to give
To be frank, 
The fact is that no self-voting of your own comment is allowed and you can get downvoted for doing so.
Quality comments are really what authors would like to have.
Using
Just go to your wallet and transfer to
Put your link into memo.
This is exactly the same way how you buy upvotes from bots actually.

You can see how easy it is to set a bounty and the rest just leaves it to the system.
No hassle!
Personal opinions of the benefits of using
The below points are just some of my personal thoughts about the benefits of using
Newbies
Newbies who first joined usually found it hard to find readers to their articles.
Their posts get drown into the ocean with other articles almost the same moment when they post it.
You are literally competing with other fishes in this great ocean.
Getting a regular pool of supporters and friends is really crucial in the beginning stage especially when you have low steem power.
There are definitely bounty hunters as well as newbies themselves who would like to gain some bounties to help with their own building of accounts. It is definitely a win-win for both sides.
By putting in some SBD as bounty for your article, you can attract more to read your article before posting a comment.
Since self-voting is not allowed, the author can actually downvote the comment.
In my opinion,
I must admit that setting up
It is not an instant noodle but it is just another form of marketing your article to get visibility.
Bounty distribution
In simple, the bounty distribution depends on the amount of upvotes that the commenters received.
80% voting weight comes from the creators while 20% comes from the community.
At the end of 7 days, the bounty would be distributed on its own by the system.
An important point that I would like to repeat is not to self-vote as it is not allowed and it is considered as an abuse to the system.
You would probably get downvoted when you do upvote your own comment.
Really easy and simple where all benefit.
Quite a cool and easy way for me since I just tried it not long ago.
Appreciative act for article
Every article of some length must have taken time to create.
If you have enjoyed an article and found it useful, it is really important to give the author an upvote of approval and encouragement so that he/she would put in more effort to create more of such articles.
I understand the attractiveness of a bounty for comment made but it will definitely be an abuse if you comment what you really don’t read or like to please the author to gain a bit of upvote.
It is really disgusting to do so.
Most serious content creators do hate such comments and I have read articles that they really intend to downvote these comments.
When I do visit an article and I decide to leave a comment, you will usually find an upvote to it too.
Appreciative content creators do welcome me to their articles and sometimes I may even mention some of them to help them to gain more attention.
Don’t comment to aim for a bounty but comment when you really mean it.
Give an upvote when you find deserving authors who can write well with large amount of time and effort invested.
The true essence behind
Gaining visibility can be quite hard and
In conclusion
Every good initiative can have abused.
For a successful initiative to work, we must follow the rules to build a good foundation for steemit platform.

Whatever you read, you really need to do your own research and decide if it is a system that you want to explore.
