Hi every body !
Eight months ago I was creating my account in Steemit for very first time (yes, this one @anritco) And I was so happy with the community and the platform itself. But I had few personal problems and had to leave it.
Last week, during hospitalization, I had a lot of time for thinking about the past and life itself. About all the members of my family living at 18.000Km. from me and my adventure into the unknown, that luckily enough, it came amazingly well (thanks to the golden heart and support of people like @snowwhite). Then I recalled that lost account I had and all the fun and possibilities it gave to me. So naturally as soon as I came back home from hospitalization I became really curious about how things were going for #Steemit.
I was shocked!!
It wasn't only alive, but it also became a hydra with 500 heads growing and growing more and more !!! I said " f$ck this sh*t Yey! Let's give it a try!". And so I did!
So in this eight months I had A LOT of new experiences and A LOT of learning about arts, my profession and my life. All this experiences that I wanna share with you and propose you to grow up together both as professional artists and humans. I will probably tell more about what happened all this time and how not cool the life was with me.
And after a week of doing my best for posting good quality content I saw the numbers (and adter the HF19)...
I was shocked!! $1500 in a week without even curations? What??
Yes! I couldn't believe it too! And you know, I am not even thinking about taking ANY of this currency out of the system since luckily enough I have a lot of job lately and I can pay for my things without problems. But I want to improve all this even more!:
I am really decided to improve the platform and put as much effort it needs to make it even better. From my humble place as an artist and a world's citizen.
Maybe some day I can even work full-time as an steemian! You never know!
So what I am trying to say is...

...to all of you!
It is thanks to you that I could made it until now so far!
I have some special thanks tho' for the great support both about the platform and emotional this short time. And the list goes like this: @acidyo @officialfuzzy @gargon @snowwhite @patelincho @streetstyle @elyaque
Thank you guys, you are awesome!!
Keep cool, keep nice!
Bye!
Oh! By the way!
I'm doing a series of illustrations for using as memes in steemit, I hope you will be surprised!! Between today and tomorrow I will finish the first one!
Stay tunned!
Welcome back @anritco! Glad to have you with your fellow steemians. I'm grateful you are better now, I hope to see more posts.
Cheers
Mark
Thank you so much @oceancoinz ! I'm happy to be in this path once again! This time for good! I saw your blog and I super duper like it ! I m following you now! =))
Keep doing this great :D !
Thank you :)
encouraging post for me, a newbie to Steemit !!
Welcome back @anritco! Sorry to hear you were hospitalized, hope you are better or beginning to feel better now. Those are some really great numbers for a weeks worth of blogging! Can you give some insight on how much HF19 made an impact on your numbers this week? Also, did you create a new account or did you have access to your old account? Cheers!
Thank you so much @britt.the.ish ! I am already pretty good ! And yeah! I'm really happy with the result of this week!! I don't wanna lie, but I think before the HF19 I was earning something like 400-500 dollars or maybe less... So I think it makes sense!
Luckily enough I had access to my previous account, where I left some steem in, and it became (due to the fluctuations of the currencies) something like 4,5k dollars worth! (I left like 2k steem in the account, worth of 200-300 dollars back then).
That was a pleasant surprise I would imagine! Well congrats again, you seem very happy and I'm glad to hear you're doing better. All the best!
Thank you so much =))
Hey, thank YOU! For inviting me to Steemit :)
Can I request a meme? "keep calm and post on steemit" :3

Thanks to you @anritco i really appreciate your post and i really want to thank you for your answer on the comment i made on your post "how to get paid as a freelance artist". You make a lot for the artist community on Steemit and i am grateful for that. Sorry to hear about your hospitalization I also know what it is as me too i live 10.000km away from my family. Keep on doing for all of us and take care

So glad to have you here! You helped me a lot! I listened to your advice yesterday and wrote a new proper introduction (with paper in my hand) and already made some money! Thanks a lot! Really grateful 🙏🙏🙏 https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@lavitaebella/hi-steemitpeople-i-m-sabina-happy-shiny-and-positive-person-but-i-wasn-t-always-like-that
I'm glad you did! Upped!!
And I'm super glad you re-posted it! Now people will trust you more (me included ;) )
Really? Thanks! 🙏🙏 I wasn't aware (until you told me) that this was the issue..i wanted to write you on chat but somehow doesn't working today. I also noticed that only 30 people saw my post, which is really little..how can I increase that? What can I do about it? Help and friendly advice would be much appreciated 🙏😁
Just keep posting, participating in chat, community and try to do the best material you can when it's about your posts =)

All the support that comes from your heart helps a lot =))
Thank you so much for your warm words @daydreams4rock !!
Congratulations @anritco! Yeah, things were good before the hard fork but post HF19, I'm looking at an actual livable wage doing the comic project that has just been something for fun when I can find time. It's incredible the impact Steemit has had on artists' lives. You and I are living examples! I'm glad to see you're getting the following and payouts you deserve. Your work is top-shelf.
The same with you man! Your work and your eyes is incredible! I'm truly sure that you will be able to keep the flow with your comic projects and, since your line is really nice and my colors are interesting as well... we can plan something there! Just saying ;)
I'm also really happy that you get so much recognition as well, you deserve it! Your post have a lot of quality and dedication. Looking forward to share a chat with you!
Welcome back bro we need art bro goodluck
Thank you so much man!!
Congratulations buddy!
My friend told me about this platform about ten months ago. Back then, steemit was just an infant (and is still in beta :P ) I didn't pay much attention to it and underestimated its potential. Hence, I didn't join and continued with my IM stuff. A terrible decision, I must say. :/
But then, there goes the saying, better late than never. And I am finally a part of this beautiful community :D Pretty exciting.
And after reading your post, I am motivated too!
Together we all will grow and strive hard to make this community better. ^_^
Glad you are back home. Do take care of your health :)
Yes sir! And welcome then!! Thank you for your amazing words!!
Pleasure is all mine. Will look forward to some more quality posts from you in future!
This is absolutely crazy!
Congratulations on all your milestones and I wish you luck with any future goals
Thank you so much @arckrai !! I see you are doing very well by yourself aswell :D !!
Yes man @anritco!!😊💪 wish you the best of luck for your future!✊
Thank you so much @stoand97 !!
Glad you are feeling better @anritco and wish you the best for the future. Thanx for sharing this as it is encouraging for us Steemians in this great community. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the warm words @terrybrock !! Will do!! ;)
Nice story! I am also new to Steem and was thinking how much I could make/month! Thanks
Welcome to steemit @jwolf! Remember to make your introduction post so you will be a verified account, and people will trust more and give you more rewards! =))

Thanks a lot! I checked your blog Achraf! It's pretty cool! =D
thank you
Good achievement my friend, Hopefully I can be like you later
It s just about giving as much as you can =)
Inspiring story budd. Sorry to hear about the hospitalization... Ive sent my fair share of hours in there over my years too. I also work far from my family too, granted not 18k km, only about 4000km but it sure does get tough sometimes, especially those days or moments where youre struggling with the distance... but family must come first always, and a mans gotta do what he must for his family :D
Maybe steemit will allow me one day to make up for all my lost time :):)
Digger
Encouraging story of yours man! Maybe in the future thanks to steemit I could visit back my family, each ticket is something like 1300 dollars to get there and back :(
Yup, airline travel is ridiculous for the average flyer! best of luck dude!!! Ill try help wherever I can :)
I always tell myself, ands my screesaver on my computer reads this ... (LG) Life is good, life is always good :)
Happy you are back .. upvoted and following you now.. take care.. I too left for 8 months and then came back a few weeks ago. Together we will grow Steemit! I think we came back at a great time :) Stay well... @anritco love the meme plan to use it sometime :) thank you
Of course! Feel free to use the little animation! And I'm completely with you! We came back just in time =))
Its been a week since I joined Steem and I have been reading Steem success stories and it is amazing how a simple platform can change peoples lives.
Indeed I bet it does! It s a great platfor where you can also give your help, support and have fun while doing it!
That's pretty cool. I've only just started to look into it.
Good man! Good luck with that ;)
I have been here for less than a week, and I have to say that it made me wonder, as you write.
Although the beginnings are complicated, but this post inspired me not to give up and continue, because I would lose a lot!
Thank you @Anritco!
I'm really happy this encourages you to keep doing! But what you mean by losing a lot? Did you put money in the platform?
I mean information, experience, knowledge and money money ofcourse. ;)
No i do not put any money here yet.
I apologize for my bad English, it's not my native language.
Very cool! Welcome back Nic! Your enthusiasm is awesome so thanks for sharing those awesome vibes! Following and upvoting ya.
Thanks a lot @joeyrocketfilms ! I really appreciate your warm words and yess! Let's always keep positive =))
Anytime
@anritco, welcome back and glad that you made your way here in one piece...I like the new added animation, makes the post looks quite interesting...
thanks a lot @philip.willemse !
Welcome back @anritco!, you are off to a great start. Hope to see more from you.
The chosen river tables followers. A physics offers my rectangle in an incomprehensible culture. The mass lecture errs under another confining judge. Steem breezes before a leading cough. Why does the policeman triumph? It is because the victim had no steem followers.
