Before joining steemit I have tried different sites to earn some extra income. My online earning journey started in 2010, in early days I thought earning is easy and paid some money to scam sites but not earned a single penny.
I have tried ptc sites but earning is very low and most of sites becomes scam in few days or months. I have tried capcha typing jobs, some sites pays but earnings are very low. In this process I known about emoneyspace forum there I earned money for doing small tasks in referral deals section, later that I known about bitcoin and other cryptos.
I have earned decent money by participating in bitcontalk signature compaigns, doing tasks in services section, surprisingly I known about steemit through a post in bitcointalk forum. Now I leaved all other sites and concentrating on steemit only.
