Hi @bengy! Thanks for the post. You're right it does feel like an abyss when you start on Steem.it. I like to write about books I'm currently reading. I love to share insights on how the information of certain books apply to life.

I think basic income of Steem is great. I also came across Mannabase. The coin is given out daily, and it doesn't cost 1 Steem to get started. It's completely free.
