Around 2,000 people join Steemit every day, according to @stephenkendal's article of this morning.
What's Steemit??
You're looking at it right now.
See this message below, that says,
"Authors get paid when people like you upvote their posts"?
Yep. That's Steemit.
And "authors" - that's you.
And "upvoters*" - that's you, too.
You get paid for both.
Well, not yet.
As long as you're still seeing that message, you can't get paid for anything yet. Because you haven't joined yet (it's free...).
Are you still posting for Likes?
Or are you already earning $$?
On June 16 an article on coconut oil went viral in the health community and surprised a lot of people. It was shared on Facebook a LOT.
A friend of mine shared it, too, and she got a few likes:
This morning, a smart Steemit user named 
- He received 101 comments.
- 304 upvotes.
- ...and $95 within 5 hours for his post.
And it has the potential to keep generating upvotes for a full seven days. Click here to see how much it is at this moment.
How's that all possible?
Steemit runs on the revolutionary technology called Blockchain. If you have never heard that word, don't worry, you will hear it every day from now on. In a few of years it will have changed pretty much every industry.
Steemit is the first project that uses the Blockchain for social media and allows content creators and curators to get paid for their contributions.
You get paid in STEEM and Steem Dollars - the digital currencies of Steemit - which you can exchange into your local currency.
YES, it is REAL money.
And NO, you don't have to put any of your own money in.
There is a learning curve of course, but why not join, and learn by doing?
You will find all the info you need here on Steemit, or in the Steemit chat.
If you want to save a little time, you can also get my Steemit Beginner's Guide on Fiverr.
The real reason to join Steemit
Steemit is a fairly new platform. It's only about one year old.
The more popular Steemit becomes, the more the price of STEEM will rise. If you don't have enough money to save for your future, Steemit allows you to do just that by earning it, instead of investing your own money.
At the time of writing this post, the STEEM is worth $2.10.
A month ago it was at $1.15.
Three months ago it was at $0.18.
Think about that...
