Hi everyone!
Yay! I have been in steemit for three months already. Continuously learning, improving and as I have said in my first month post, I didn’t expect that blogging is all I ever need. I don’t picture out myself staying here because I started posting with a bombed, not that everyone likes it but few upvote my posts and I felt so bad about it, I am about to quit back then but I did not lose hope because sooner I know I will get better.
I started here zero. I didn’t know anything about this website. Honestly, I came to this platform for the rewards, I always check earnings of every post of mine. I even doubt if really I can get those rewards. I thought this will be an easy journey but it is not. No easy money here, you need to work hard for it, you must be determined and keep motivated. You need to go out beyond your comfort zone, and of course longevity! You will see results after if you keep going. Everyone starts somewhere, soon you will get where you want to be. Do not forget to enjoy staying in this community of ours.
Aside from the rewards, you will gain more friends, followers turns to advisers, good companions and interactions that will help you to find your purpose in this platform. I was able to engage with fellow Kabayans in this platform blogging, working hard for their families just like me. This is site is just a bonus. You can express yourself here through writing good contents and help you go through some difficulties of life. You will learn to know more about cryptocurrency. I realize steemit can change everyone’s life. You will never understand me about it unless you sign up!
I have been promoting steemit last October since I started posting. I sent my friends a direct message to invite them to join but unfortunately some signed up but a week later, backed out. I am the only one stayed and continue striving with what is my purpose here together with my mentors Kuya 
So yesterday, I decided to cash out my first pay out. I asked my co-members how they do the cash out but this week was a busy world in transactions. Due to high value of SBD and other coins and the transaction fee is too high! They advice me to just power up my SBD because this is not the right time for exchanging. So, I listen! But then again in discord someone is asking if who are selling his/her SBD so I told her I am willing to sell. We talk through direct message on Discord, and luckily this person is so generous enough to deal with. Our transaction went out fast and smooth. I sent my SBD and right away she send me the money.
I am planning to give my cash out to my parents as a christmas gift and sponsoring our annual get together in our family reunion. Wherein my cousins will host a simple year end party with pa-raffle, parlor games and some other activities like we usually do yearly. We will invite people in our baranggay to join on the said event.
A special mention to Ate 
35 SBD that I earn for a week posting is about 15,000 plus in pesos is a big deal. I worked before in a company in Manila with the rate of 491 pesos a day. I cannot even earn 14,ooo + peso in a month only if you will overtime. Also you need to deal with your boss, scheduled working hours and definitely stress. I am not saying working in a company is not good because up until now I have been working full-time as a Dental Technician. What am I trying to tell everyone is that you can earn an extra income through this amazing website. Just like what you are doing on facebook, posting, commenting and getting connected with people, the only difference is that you are being paid in this platform.
I will continue to promote steemit especially to my fellow kabayans just like my cousin
Special Thanks also to my group STEEMITFAMILYPH for adding spices in my steemit journey.
Happy Steeming Folks!
Merry Christmas!
