Hey guys! I've finally received my first payout on Steemit!
It's not much but it's definitely better than the ZERO i get from Facebook!
What this means is that I've finally reached the 1 week mark on Steemit!
Let's see what I've accomplished so far:
Followers: 178 (thanks!)
Posts: 819 (95% are probably comments)
I'm quite pleased with how my progress is going. Sure, I may not earn much but Steemit is about meeting new people, people you would never have known existed if you stuck to other social media platforms. I do try to contribute "value" in the form of experiences in food and travels. Not sure if that is of value though..
I do know that I have a rather weird username "howtostartablog" and I don't post much on "blogging" itself. I think that's because I'm already doing so on my WordPress blog. Since I don't post pics of my travel there, why not do it here? It's a win-win situation for myself!
What are my next goals?
Use
@randowhale for the first time.
Gain more followers over time. To be specific, those who are interested in my photos of food and travel or my random posts.
Get a bigger payout to fund my monthly expenses, and hopefully one day provide a sufficient monthly income. Fortunately or unfortunately, my country's currency is rather weak, so $600 would be equivalent to the average fresh grad salary. I would be happy to get anywhere near there.
Post better photos of food!
Meet others with similar interests
etc. etc.
Once again, I love to thank everyone on Steemit for helping me to accomplish my dreams of living the Internet lifestyle.
Here's a motivational quote for you guys!
Hustle until your haters ask if you're hiring.
