I got married to a wonderful woman and shortly after that she got pregnant. We are waiting for the baby now.
It is great!

The problem was that I quickly realised that my salary isn't enough.

I am a software developer. I specialise in automation programs. I thought that I could use the same skills in the internet. I started looking at faucet websites, thinking of ways to automate them. I am a busy person, so I can't possibly spend my time clicking on adds all day, but if a program could do that for me, it would be great.
Unfortunately I did not succeed.

While searching for faucets however, I discovered SteemIt.com
I thought : "Great! I could do that!"

But it was an illusion.
I only saw the front pages, where the whales swim. Only later did I see that most of the steemians are struggling to get a dollar or two.

Then I saw @randowhale. I loved the concept immediately. I didn't really want to use it (since I don't really need a lot of SP) but I loved the idea of bots who help the actual bloggers.

This is the moment to mention something. I am terrible at blogging. I am somewhat good at writing cool and artistic short stories, but when it comes to articles - I suck.

So... I decided to Not blog.
I decided to do what I'm good at instead.
I am a programmer, so I made a program.

. . .

Enter @resteembot !

Resteembot is a bot that resteems articles.
It requires very small payments, which are even smaller for people with very low reputation.

It instantly took off.
It started working 10 days ago and now it already has 441 followers.

I even made a second program that advertises the bot. I published it, so that other people (volunteers who like the project) could also run it and advertise with me.
And it happened! People actually did it!

@resteembot started growing really quickly after that.

It is so quick that I am forced to turn off the sound of my phone before going to bed. Otherwise the notification sounds are gonna wake me up every 15 minutes.
Today I woke up and saw 30+ transaction messages and comments.

The last 10 days have been very exciting for me.
