How about friends of Steemit's!!
Well members community, as the title says, I want to share with you some of what this first month has been like for me on this great platform as Steemit is.
As I had been telling you for a month now, my dear colleagues, I started to work in this great social network even though I registered in January of this year. It has been a bit complicated for me to start writing about myself or telling a story because I have never been very expressive or even outgoing in my life.
But since I met Steemit through a family member, I have found it quite interesting to earn money by publishing "things", but sometimes we look for something more than just money.
Although I've been developing this project for a short time now, I've been doing a lot of research on the subject before I did my first post, which was the introduction of my self, which by the way, I did my best to make a good first impression, but going back to what I said, I did some research and for two or three days I spent watching videos of how to publish a post for the first time or how to create nice content for other users and how not, to progress on the social network, get followers and start to raise my reputation level.
Introducing my self was something that gave me quite a headache and it wasn't at all easy to start telling who I am, what I've done or what my tastes are, but once I found a guide to start doing all this, I got carried away by what I felt when I first wrote on my blog. It was quite sensational to feel the uncertainty of not knowing how the community would receive my first publication or even worse to think that I would upload my "introduce my self" and it would be one more post in the immense Steemit ocean and that I would not even receive my first vote, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that 9 users had liked what I had seen in the post, that made me feel good about what I had achieved, not only in myself but in what I wrote.
After the first post many doubts came to my mind, one of them was that I would write or teach the next day or where I would find help to move forward in this new world I was entering. Then I understood that it was time to continue researching about the publications that others were making, how to write, for whom to write, etc. That's when I understood a little that I could write about any subject and I wrote my second publication, addressed to my partner, which was not voted by almost anyone, but I didn't let that discourage me as I understood that it was only the beginning. After this I saw posts by people who only uploaded photos and a little legend, this caught my attention, because even though there was little work they did publishing photos from other websites these posts were supported even if only a little bit, then I tried to do the same thing and it didn't give any results and thank God it was so because otherwise I would have spoiled everything I wanted for my blog.
After a few days of posting and commenting to some users I got my first cents and immediately looked up how I could invest those few cents "I'm sure I don't have much today either", but that's when I got to know the famous BidBots.
For me it was something very new and a little strange because I didn't know how it worked, so I started to read if it was okay to start using them and what consequences this could have on my blog, but as I supposed it wasn't a bad thing to try to give a little credit to my post by relying on these Bots and it was the moment when I also discovered the Discord groups and the support that is found in them. But to be honest, the results have not been the best with these bots and thanks to that I have learned little by little what the real purpose of being in this community is.
My purpose of being at Steemit is to let my imagination and creativity run free, to find ways to innovate in every publication I do and above all to try to make the users who read me feel identified with my ideas and my post, so that day after day the love for this great community that has been growing with us continues to emerge. For this reason and despite the fact that I will continue to promote my posts, I will not do it thinking about the monetary reward but about the fact that they can be seen by more people, so I will be truly happy.
