Hello friend I am amazed and very happy right now. I want to share this moment with you.
I joined Steemit about a month ago and I have trying really hard, writing posts and all the other stuff but the rewards and recognition were not as much as I expected. All of you can understand how frustrating that can be. But I never gave up. Finally I realized that Steemit is not all about writing nice posts!
Pardon me if it struck you, Yes nice posts does matter but what also matters a lot is socializing, getting in touch with people and getting to know them.
So I started socializing, made some amazing friends and started curating their work. And you know what it started paying off right away. Here is an example:
This is a comment I made on a post my friend @jbn and I got 0.46$ earning with 8 upvotes. Isn't this amazing. Recognition comes from where you least expect it.
So a word of advise to all Newbies
Steemit is a social platform so instead of focusing on earnings/rewards you better start socializing. Trust me Earnings will start flowing automatically. Keep Steeming it!!!
