Last week I joined Steemit after apply a few days prior. I was super excited to learn about the site and how it works. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, or how complicated everything is. The cool part about Steemit is you do not have to understand everything about it to use it. You can simply post things and learn as you go. You can make money with it, you can promote yourself with it, you can make friends (or enemies), and you can entertain yourself non stop.
My Stats
I will shed some light on my stats for the week. After all, just about anyone can see them, which is also super cool about Steemit. To be exact yesterday, was when I had been here a week and started to collect my awards.
- I have 63 followers.
- I made $10.578 Steem Dollars that have been redeemed in the last day.
- I have about the same amount coming to me in the next week. Most of my money was made on my introductory post for sure.
- I have sold all my Steem dollars on the Steeemit Market for Steem, and used the Steem to power up.
- I bought 96.55 Steem before I joined which I transferred to Steemit and Powered up with.
- I have 140.16 Steem Power right now.
- I have made .008 Steem dollars from curation awards (my posts).
- I have been awarded 1.73 Steem Power directly from my awards.
- I have 175 posts.
- I have written 12 blog posts.
What have I learned?
I have learned that you will not magically make money without doing any work.
I have learned that great content will not make you a ton of money in the beginning.
I have learned that interaction is as important as content.
I have learned that the more time you take helping others, the more time others will take to help you.
I have learned that a few really good comments, are much more valuable than 100 meaningless comments.
I have learned a ton about Steem dollars, Steem, Steem power, and voting. I love, because I am a numbers person.
I have learned there is not a lot of content on my areas of expertise; cars and real estate.
I have been telling my friends and team all about Steem. They were all fainting interest, until I told them I was making money with it. Hardly anyone actually thinks crypto companies are active and creating something of value.
My first week has been a blast and it was super cool seeing my first awards come in. I plan to reinvest everything I make into Steem Power. I also love to share the Steem if you upvote and comment!
Awesome @investfourmore! I'm happy to see your stats and watching your progress... Every day gets better and I hope you keep sharing your stories (it motivates others) :)
Thank you! You have been an awesome resource for me to learn from!
You're welcome but now you must tell me how you got a .05 vote? You're going to be the resource for me on that one? ;) (do you have the slider already?)
I don't think I have the slider, but I am not sure what that is. lol I bought 96 Steem on poloniex a couple weeks ago when it was cheaper and converted all of it to steem power. I have 141 steem power
lol that explains it, you got much bigger SP... Good job on the buy too, it shot up big time last week. And I know there is a slider, even though I haven't seen it yet either. When you get it, be sure and let me know how it works for you ;)
I just read somewhere you get the slider when ypu have 500 steem power
cool thanks... I'm looking forward to that day... wish steem would go back to where it was 2 weeks ago... i'd get a decent conversion at close 3x sbd again
welcome again hahaha
thank you
welcome!
finally a very proper introduce yourself
@curie!
Thank you! I appreciate the vote and comment.
welcome again lol looking forward to more great content. And have a great weekend.
Thank you, you as well!
Great! I love steemit too ;)
Nice work @investfourmore! I've enjoyed my first week or so as well. I think Steemit is like a lot of things in life - if you come into it with the right attitude you can have a lot of fun with it.
Everyone says that steemit has a steep learning curve... although there is a whole heap of new information to process, by biggest learning curve has been remembering that I have a life outside of steemit! I'm a bit obsessed!
I know!! It is tough to stop checking my phone every 2 minutes to look for updates.
You've had a great first week!
Thank you!
I have been looking for a few people to collaborate together and start a project, if you would like to do something to bring much more attention to steemit let me know, or send me a msg on my facebook page located in my blog .
Im glad you love the community - i have seen people come for the allure of money, and stay for the community .
But i digress ; i would like to bring a huge amount of attention to steemit, in some big ways - you should let me know if you would like to collaborate and take part in this project .
that all depends on what you have in mind. I don't have a ton of extra time.
well at this current moment, i have 2 facebook pages dedicated to helping people, and i get emails weekly, from people looking for writers, im thinking i can gather a team and get a few people to write an email to them, since they are magazines and web articles, they will have a very large follower / reader count - which will bring in a lot of people if they talk about steemit in their articles .

Missed crypto kitties don't dare to missed it, time is limited only!
making two introduction posts, and thinking that you can get more money off it, thats just desparate.
shame on you!
I wasn't trying to make a 2nd intro post. what part made it look that way? i can change it. I posted the pic to show when i joined
Well, I didn't see your actual introduction post, so I'm happy to see this one. And congratulations on your first week of earnings. Your experience and mine have been very similar, so that's encouraging.
Finding your expertise is not well represented here yet is a good thing as long as there's interest in it, and cars and real estate seem like topics people are interested in.
I wish you well.
I'm with you @glenalbrethsen .. And good job sticking up for your fellow steemer. I'm connecting to you just for that good deed :)
Sounds like you've been helping out here more than I just did. I appreciate your kind words, though, and the follow. Now we're connected both ways!
No you made the point and that was fantastic thing to do to make @investformore comfortable, and I'm happy we are connected too!
Thank you! congrats on your experience as well!
There are tons of posts in introduceyourself that are not intros. Including posts from people with 60 + reputation. I didn't think it was only for your first intro
