Yes, I suppose I could make something like this into a post. I am still very new here, having just discovered this platform, so I am trying out the commenting system to see how it works. I have done blogging before (since 2007 at my site Karlonia.com, although I have not updated it for a while) and when I do my own post I would write much more content than in a comment reply, usually after researching topics, keywords, tweaking SEO parameters, etc. in an attempt to get more traffic and hopefully more revenue. But after Google's "Panda" and "Penguin" algorithm updates hit back in 2011-12 I lost much of my search engine rankings and traffic, driving me to seek out other revenue sources such as investing in bitcoin. After the value of bitcoin increased dramatically, so far giving me almost enough value in USD to live more independently and retire, I got interested in cryptocurrencies again and rediscovered the Bitcoin Talk forum, which eventually led me to this Steemit platform.

So yes, I'll be doing my own original posts before long; I just need to figure out which topics would work best and still need to read more about how this whole Steemit thing works.

Great . Just looked at your site. Very nice posts. You will likely do well here. I do it for fun only. I can manage my real job barely.
If you wish to make money on this platform, the most important thing is to buy Steem so you can steem power. Then each of your posts will generate great money. Good luck.
