Time flies when you're enjoying your work and my days with steemit is no exception. To celebrate my journey with steemit platform let me check what I have achieved so far.
I started about a month ago, and never put any of my own money in the system (not yet, but soon will). What I had when i signed up was the $7 equivalent given to all new users of steemit.. And then a close to 300 lumens coming free from Stellar network given to me as a gift just by using their wallet (exchanged it to BTC at Poloniex then bought steem from it).
Basically I started with very small amount coming from free sources. I mentioned this on the early part of my update to encourage those who have no extra money at this time that they can do this even with limited cash on their wallet.
With regards to time, I have a full time job that requires me to report to work for about 45 hours a week ( including breaks). I only do this 1 to 3 hours per day so also this should not discourage those who have a tight schedule. You can do steeming in whatever free time you may have.
Let me go straight to the results of what I have inside the platform. First and foremost is the number of followers I have gained so far 347 FOLLOWERS to be exact. 108.545 Steem Power which has equivalent dollar value of about $252.60 at the time of this writing. And a reputation of 49.
More than the numbers, what I am really most happy about is the fact that I have learned a lot. I have seen an avenue to potentially increase my income by just doing what I love to do. You can virtually express any passion, niche or anything you love to do, use steemit as a platform and YOU getting paid for it. There's no better deal in the world I can see that can compete with that.
Moving on, I am looking forward for growth and to have more time and money to invest inside steemit. I know that my achievements are not that impressive but it is the best I can do for limited time and money I have put in the platform so far.
Checking on my wallet activity, let me mention those who put in some extras without me really asking for it. These have helped me get an encouraging start: 
Also on one occasion 
Let me specially mention those who consistently shared quality and informative contents which all the more inspired me to keep on steeming. They all make my steeming an exciting activity every time I check for new posts.
Also there are people who I have connections on other social media platforms then I met here inside. A solid proof that steemit is growing massively. Let me just randomly mention them in no particular order as they just pop up in my mind while writing this post. Don't ever ever feel ignored, if I forget to mention you as there are already hundreds of people I follow.
Here are some of them:
