For anybody that's new to Steemit let me tell you how great this platform is... with some very timely help cashing out my SBD (Steem Dollars) from 
I still have around $8000 left in my wallet! Not good enough??? I started on here on Thanksgiving of last year with nothing. After getting locked out of my account for 3 weeks (I lost my password- DON"T do this) I've made all of this money by writing about things I like, or sometimes about things I don't like (political corruption, etc.), posting music, movies, photos...
You can do this too... There's nothing special about me. I can't really give you advice about what to write or blog about, I haven't really figured that out. I like to write stories. What I will tell you is become part of the community. It took me forever to get up to 100 steem because I kept giving it away- it was like play money to me at first. Every time someone came on with problems I donated what I could. It made me feel like part of the community. Now I'm 2 short of 600 followers. If you forget about the money and have fun blogging- it will come.
Have fun and Steem On!
