The last two hours have been a wonderful Steemit roller-coaster for this newbie who has spent less than three days on the platform. I went from losing all hope to regaining it and much more in a matter of minutes and I did it in the most wonderful way.
As I shared on my last post, I first joined Steemit because I thought it was an easy way to make quick money. As soon as I got my account I started posting like crazy, I didn’t care if it was good content or not. I thought quantity was more important than quality. Of course, that lead to a ton of disappointment, I spent hours and hours posting and commenting to only make 2 cents a post. It was painful.
After two days of knocking my head against the wall I decided to give up and start writing from a deeper place within. I then wrote my first self-introduction which didn’t make more than $4 but got a lot of positive feedback from people who appreciated my honest approach. That inspired me to write another blog post from my heart called I rather have a million dollars than a million friends. I wasn’t expecting much of it, in fact, I wrote it as a way to stand against my impulsive behavior to use this platform to make money. A few minutes later I saw that the post had made $80, which was 20 times more than my previews high score. On top of that, I saw my reputation score go from 41 to 45.
Amazing! What a lesson on letting go and following my heart! Thank you Steemit for the lessons!
(the cash is useful too =P)
LOVE TO YOU ALL
