How to earn on steemit?

Our upvotes on my two crowdfunded ad posts have empowered me to reach over 1 million Facebook users with ads promoting Steemit and get over 150,000 views on YouTube on videos featuring Steemit using an advertising budget of about $2,000 total with $2,000 more remaining out of what has been funded already! The thousands of kind comments on the posts I have made inspire me to continue thinking night and day what I can continue doing to contribute the most!
