I found your post through read it and I thought I would leave a comment and welcome you to the community. I see you are new here. So am I. The difference between you and me is you did an introductory post and I didn't. Everyone is telling me I should leave one but I'm not really sure what I should say. Bravo on the $.83 and 37 Votes that you received. I added my name to your vote list and hope that you make lots of money with your first post.

I love the photos that you put in your first article. I see that you're passionate about learning about different types of life chains and how to use them. I am too. I lost thousands of dollars on investing in bitcoin, so I'm hoping that Steem will do better. One of the things that I'm going to write in my introductory article is how I found out how other people's lives were changed because of this platform. I haven't traveled around the world like you have. I've only been to Canada, England and France. By the way, I love the plant!

Your dog is absolutely adorable. I had some as a kid but their big responsibility to take care of. That's one of the reasons why I don't have any pets now. I just admire other people's pets and leave it at that. There is a free tool online and one on your computer depending on which one you have that will straighten out the photographs that you put in your article. It would be nice to me other people that write here at some sort of conference. I believe they had one not too long ago.

My first post didn't do very well because I was asking about SteemPress and I was looking to get feedback from other people that might using it. So far I have received no replies but I sure would love to see a sample of someone's word press blog and find out how well that plug-in is working out for them. My second post did a little bit better. So far it's at $8.57 with about 37 votes. No one has left any comments yet except a bot telling me that I got my first badge. The next one was to say thank you for the witness vote. Well I'll take them anyway I can get them. Every little dollar adds up. My second post was about some of the weirdest things I found online on this Steemit platform that makes money. One person makes anywhere between $5 to $200 for simple messages, questions and quirks. I left a message on one of his posts because I would just love to find out how he worked his way to earn that much money for such or so little work.

So what are you gonna write about? I'm not really sure where my direction is going, but I'd like to write about popular topics that most people would be interested in. Another thing I found that was extremely surprising was the amount of money that some people make on the weirdest photos. I just purchased a digital camera a few years ago and I think it's time to get it out, wipe the dust off and see what kind of photos I can come up with.

The last thing that I discovered in the first few days that I've been here is that memes are making between four dollars to $15 for each post. There is some sort of contest going on that I'm not sure on how to participate with, but I'm sure I will figure it out. It probably would've been best to put this in some sort of post, but I'm here not just for the money but to make friends and to create something that will help out the community. One of the last things I'm trying to figure out how to do is how does someone do things and get free steem. Everything that you do here on this site costs in resource credits. I posted the information on the article "How Does Steemit Work? Can You Quickly Make Money With Steemit, Like Bernie Sanders Earning $343.09 Weekly Writing Questions & Comments?"

I took a course from someone and am trying out some of their techniques and so far they seem to be working. But I'm on the hunt for learning how to earn FREE STEEM! When I find out some really cool things that can help other newbies like myself become a little bit more successful, I'll be writing about that in my articles.
