Some friends have told me it's greedy to want to make earnings from our content
That's a big laugh! Then is blogging wrong? After all, people blog about what they love. Steemit is making us blog and earn at the same time. That's the coolest blogging I have ever known.
It is the coolest blogging ever known, you are right! And I am very glad you chose to take this opportunity. It's beautiful how we can all help each other have more ease in our lives by doing what we love, and did for free before anyway.
