Welcome to the platform, people come here because of the rewards system, but stick around for the community. It takes effort but if you put the effort in, eventually the rewards you hear about on the site start to come in.

Thanks for the welcome, @tecnosgirl. One of the things that I love the most about the STEEM idea, is just what you're getting at. If a person contributes to the community with valid, quality information then the rewards will indeed come. That's one of the reasons that I knew my wife @byn would do so well here. She made quite a bit just in her first month!
I also started off right as apparently you wife did, and started making money right away. I was a 54 rep with-in a week of starting, then to level up got harder.
