RE: What I Learned From One Year on Steemit
I wish I'd know about the site a year ago, when I first heard I was getting so impatient with the week or so I waited until my account was verified. It is insane the amount of advertising money all the other social media networks are making out of their users. This really hit home for me:
There's a voice inside of you, and it is invaluable. The other great lesson from Steemit is that once you understand just how valuable your voice is, you'll never again be satisfied to just 'give' it away so others can benefit instead of you.
I've always wanted to get into blogging or vlogging but I was worried that I had nothing interesting to say. There's something less threatening about this site being in a social media type format and I'm really looking forward to starting writing my own posts.
It's never too late to start, like he said. I promise you, there's always something interesting worth saying. While you might not hit that nugget that makes you a thousand dollars in one post, building relationships here is a guaranteed way to generate interest and build your following. Plus, with all the community projects here, you're bound to come across people with similar interests who are some awesome people to boot.
You're right of course! I promised myself I would spend a couple of weeks just reading the post of others to find my way first, there is a lot of spam on here and I want to contribute something worthwhile, but I will be diving in soon. Thanks for the advice!
Thanks for your comment, and for reading and sharing. Let yourself explore the things that interest you and you'll find your way in no time. It's very odd how it just sort of naturally happens over time :)
