Hey guys! I've finally received my first payout on Steemit!
It's not much but it's definitely better than the ZERO i get from Facebook!
What this means is that I've finally reached the 1 week mark on Steemit!
Let's see what I've accomplished so far:
Followers: 178 (thanks!)
Posts: 819 (95% are probably comments)
I'm quite pleased with how my progress is going. Sure, I may not earn much but Steemit is about meeting new people, people you would never have known existed if you stuck to other social media platforms. I do try to contribute "value" in the form of experiences in food and travels. Not sure if that is of value though..
I do know that I have a rather weird username "howtostartablog" and I don't post much on "blogging" itself. I think that's because I'm already doing so on my WordPress blog. Since I don't post pics of my travel there, why not do it here? It's a win-win situation for myself!
What are my next goals?
Gain more followers over time. To be specific, those who are interested in my photos of food and travel or my random posts.
Get a bigger payout to fund my monthly expenses, and hopefully one day provide a sufficient monthly income. Fortunately or unfortunately, my country's currency is rather weak, so $600 would be equivalent to the average fresh grad salary. I would be happy to get anywhere near there.
Post better photos of food!
Meet others with similar interests
etc. etc.
Once again, I love to thank everyone on Steemit for helping me to accomplish my dreams of living the Internet lifestyle.
Here's a motivational quote for you guys!
Hustle until your haters ask if you're hiring.
