I deserve to be paid because ...

• I spend a large portion of my time on steemit working with new members on Discord at the minnowsupportproject, where we help them learn the ropes and give feedback on posts

• I spend time writing quality content (though I'm still new). Content that can easily be followed and immediately used.

• I reply to virtually every comment I receive.

• My comments to others are aimed at extending the conversation, improving the content, or asking meaningful questions.

• And, most importantly, I intend to help steemit grow by retaining the new members we attract. I'll do it by helping out in the minnowsupportproject, and by writing content that helps people live better lives.

Thanks for the video, and for the tips! Always great to learn from someone who's clearly doing something right.
