From my own understanding of the popular steemit slogan "COME FOR THE MONEY STAY FOR THE COMMUNITY".At first when my friends were talking about steemit all i thought about was the money they made from it weekly from just sales of the sbd and then i asked them to help me signup on the website .Then my account was approved and i started writing articles n i was posting it but it was not easy to get enough upvote and then it dawned on me dat i had to be patient and stay for the community and it was not always about the money.
