I started being very active on Steemit about one month ago, and I have to say, the results are way better than I thought they would be!
Everyone knows about the allure of money on Steemit, so I'll talk about that first. I had about two hundred dollars of Bitcoin, so I decided to invest that in, and that gave me about forty SP. The main gains are from DLive streaming. I've gotten about five upvotes from DLive so far, and three have been paid out. Those have been about twenty-one SP a piece, and that was just this week that I got them. I also have shared fifteen SP with my friend, who streams with me.
The follower growth has been absolutely amazing. I'm up to eighty-three now, which is insane for a first month of any social media platform. They have been awesome too, commenting and upvoting. I stand by the philosophy that the help of whales will help you grow in the area of money, while followers will help with your influence.
Something that is talked about but never really written about is how much I've learned on this site, and not just how it works. I've seen beautiful pictures from other places, learned how cryptocurrency works, how money is literally made, and how much potential the Steem blockchain has. I came to this place thinking it would take a long, long time to really start producing anything, but now I'm more optimistic than ever!
