Thanks @williambanks. I appreciate the comment. I noticed this post went payout after 12 hours instead of 22. Is this a new process? Still trying to figure this out. Kind of a bummer getting zero attention. Received four upvotes in the first hour then nothing. Hard reality to this new venture. I'm thinking maybe dollarvigilante upvoting may have helped the first post. Still love it. Thanks again my friend.

@silverbug2000 The payout is 24 hrs then 30 days last I checked, but the platform is in beta, so who knows. Used to be there was a daily payout for all content. I'm not sure what the deal was or why they changed that. I was in the middle of trying to bring a large contingent of authors over from another place on promise that they would be able to collect what was effectively a perpetual royalty on their content.

The change to payouts killed that initiative. Seems like they just want trendy stuff.
Good news is you still have 30 days to monetize this. So make sure to drop a mention wherever you can. Also use #payitforward to promote your content. It lets others know you're willing to look at their stuff and upvote, comment etc as long as they return the favor, even if it's something they're not normally interested in.

Seems like its starting to get some traction now too.
@diamondlou is also someone who came in with @dollarvigilante He's playing #payitforward too. You should check him out and also just check that hashtag in general.

Also you're always welcome to come by any blog of mine and talk about yours.
Hell i'd like that, especially if you hop in www.steemit.chat and let me know it's going up a few mins ahead of time so I can compose a decent reply. My single highest paid comment ever was on your blog. Wouldn't mind keeping that momentum up.
