It has changed my perception of social media. Before Steemit I was a common "waste time facebook" user, now I realize that interesting stories and wonderful content can be shared with the community and actually be heard of. My only fears are that earnings don't start to determine the overall quality of authors and that Steemit users start to suffer from earnings deficit depression "facebook likes style" because of high promises and expectations they get while introduced to this network. Nice article. Upvoted.

I couldn't agree with you anymore. I am just getting started on Steemit and it is very interesting with all the articles. A nice breath of fresh air compared to facebook. Do you have suggestions on using the platfrom? How to get the best out of it?
I started writing a massive comment to you in reply, I have had a few others ask me for similar advice so I decided to write a post on the topic of advice for new users.

I hope this helps give you some ideas on where you can start :)
I absolutely agree new users need to beware and not think that steemit is a get rich quick scheme, it takes time and a lot of hard work and even then it is still an aspect of chance - especially as the platform grows.
I used to waist time on facebook now I work on steemit, I am earning to do what I love and write about what interests me - it's a new form of self employment, even if it is only a supplemental income at first.
I always stress in these posts not to think this just happened from signing up, it took a lot to get here but together here on steemit we can all succeed together.
@Krystle I was going to do a Blog about that kinda stuff , but I did not want to upset anyone so I am not sure if I will , But I def agree . I got on here because I wanted to enjoy Blogging About what I love doing :)
Hey there, I don't know why anyone would be upset by what you choose to post about - steemit is anticencorship so the worst that would happen is no one vote if they aren't interested, but I find that highly unlikely.
People tend to be attracted to those that have a passion for what they write about, I reckon do what you love - there is a massive art community here on steemit that is really well supported, jump in and give it a go you never know it could be a success.
Anyways good luck and keep at it :)
Hi @Krystle Thank you for the encouragement ::))
