Your first question is probably: WHAT THE HELL IS STEEMIT?
Answer: Steemit is the first social media platform that PAYS you for your content. I may be off a little, but Facebook has a good $500 billion market cap and 2 billion users, making each user worth $239. Yes, you're worth $239 in economic activity, but you aren't getting a dime. And for some of you who have asstons of friends and share a lot of good original content, again, you aren't getting a SINGLE dime. Facebook is doing well though... We know that much!
To the contrary, Steemit has about 100,000 users, is growing, and has a $250 million market cap. That means that every user is worth $2,500! What's more is that users who contribute good, original content to the platform, they get PAID for it!
There are people posting pictures of their garden and are making $200 for posting some fcking garden pictures, bruhhh. It's fcking unreal!!!
And since this platform is just getting started, you have an awesome opportunity to take over a niche of your choosing and quit your bullsh*t job in a matter of a couple months, faster even if you do what I tell you to do below.
But let's quick answer your second question-
How do people get paid?
People get paid in Steem, a cryptocurrency that is openly traded on various cryptocurrency exchanges. As your reputation grows and as you start making legit money for your content, you can cash out for Steem coins. You then take these coins to an exchange and trade them for coins like Bitcoin, Etherium, etc. You can then sell these coins at Coinbase.
You can also go right to Changelly and trade them right away.
People are cashing f*cking $8,000 checks in a week who are on top of their Steemit game. In fact, there are people making at least $20/day writing fucking comments alone!
Now don't get me wrong, there will be a small learning curve. However, it's not fcking rocket science, and all you need to do is put in all but 30 minutes a day, possibly an hour, or hell, some of you will be smart and put at least 4 hours into dis btch a day! Sheeeittt... some of you might put in 8 hours a day. The fact is that this platform is growing and it's paying people for content.
By getting in now, you will be a BOSS once this platform has tens of millions of users. FACTS
Your third question-
Kyle, this all sounds great. How do I get started and what do I need to do?

4.) Since you'll be following my account, anytime I post content, upvote me and if you can, write a nice, relevant comment. I will return the favor to you and any friends you sign up.
5.) Follow other people with similar interests
6.) Start posting content on whatever the f*ck you want. Like seriously, anything you want. Just start posting. That is all.
7.) Start learning more about Steemit and how it all works on YouTube. You can learn everything you need to know in an hour or two at the most.
LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: Let your friends know about Steemit. If each of you joins and can get at least 5 friends to join and do all the things above, we will DOMINATE this platform. I will make a list of everyone we have in our network and I will make sure everyone gets followed and gets upvotes.
