Steem Mining issues?

I was just wondering if anyone had any clues why my steem mining isn't working?

I'm running windows 10 64 bit.

I tired to configure the INI file as per a youtube tutorial
but I get this error...

UNEXPECTED CHARACTER 106 IN STEEMNAME
{"c":106."s":"STEEMNAME"}

there is nothing wrong with my steemname.

I downloaded the (3gb?) blockchain and put it where it belongs.
In the config ini I have set;
witness = BLAH
miner = [BLAH:BLAH] (i used the ACTIVE key for this right?
mining-threads = 2
I'm starting steemd.exe

have I missed something?

BTW how much am I likely to earn mining?
Is there a mining calculator somewhere I haven't found yet?
