Hello Everyone...
This is Sunil Chavan from India. I am a software engineer, left a safe job and trying to run my own startup. Before telling more about myself, I would like to share Why I am here on Steemit?
First of all, I came to know about steemit because I am into crypto scene. I have invested a little into altcoins. More I read about it more I got fascinated by it. A social platform where content creators can earn for their quality work, this idea intrigued me. I can understand why a lot of content creators are excited about it. I am a blogger, that's my startup actually. It's a media company in India (TeenAtHeart) where I and my team write about educational stuff and overall teenagers lifestyle.
I understand the pain of content creators. Competition, Intrusive ads, user attention span, limited revenue streams, ad blindness, ad blockers blah blah blah. I am going through all of it.
When I researched about steemit, I thought its a great revenue stream for my content. But If I do that, it will be one more beast to handle; whales, steempower, upvotes, bots and all that...
I gave a thought about it for a week and I decided that rather than treating it just as a revenue stream, I will use it to speak my heart out. I had this idea of sharing my #life story, experiences etc from a long time. I could have easily written a blog about it but I never got time. I tried to speak to people around me, but they simply don't get it. I fail to make them understand why I left the job, why I took such a big risk. I wanted to share my experiences with them, wanted to learn from them; but these people drowned in consumerism and rat race. In short, I realize I don't belong there.
I hope; here on steemit I will be able to build a community which is interested in sharing their experiences and learning from each other. That's what I am here for.
I am literally here to speak my heart out. I am here to connect with like-minded people, who see the world differently, who don't afraid to take risks. I am here to share my journey and to learn from you guys. If I earn some money doing this then that's great (who don't like money), but that's not my real intent.
I really don't have the patience to game the system, use tricks and hacks; I can apply all those strategies in my existing business (if I had to). I already have a lot of on my shoulders, I don't want to do the same here.
If you guys feel the same, let's build a great community here. What do you think? I am not sure, this is a correct form of #introduceyourself post but I just wrote whatever I felt like. I tried to follow the guides from

Who would like to join me here? Let's start a conversation, let's learn from each other.

Hi Thank you for #introducingyourself. Im myself quite new in steemit community but I realized that there are few things you could do to have a better start:
Mostly I invested a little bit in STEEM in order to purchase STEEM POWER and STEEM DOLLARS. Why? Its simply important. Without initial investment it will be very hard for you to build reach here and be noticed.
Im not sure if you ever heard about this site:

Perhaps you know it already :)

Welcome to steemit. Hope you would enjoy your stay here. Here are some tips for building your steemit account rapidly: https://steemit.com/steemit/@successforall/how-to-build-your-steem-dollar-up-without-investing-a-single-cent-out-of-your-own-pocket-newbies-minnows-support-success-for-all
Thanks @successforall , I read the given post. I tried different faucets, but I find most of them are scams and takes time to monitor and all. Your second point to form a small community to help other to grow here. I think it would be better for me to focus subject at hand and content, that is sharing experiences and learning from each other about life.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge though. Have a nice day ahead!!
