2 weeks 598 followers and i made some money too.

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

I couldn't be happier, finally i have found a social network with people who have brains. These 2 weeks i posted travel stories, my original music, my own original art and comments on the network too. How do you know what is the way to go when so few people see our posts in the early days? I love working on the posts and doing my best to improve my writing, the whole thing is very satisfying. Then the rewards, i am so delighted to be making some money in return for the posts i write, it is very hard to make money on the internet and here it is possible.
I came hoping i might one day be able to buy a bitcoin of two with the money i earn here, and i can see that will happen over time.
Thanks so much to all the wonderful people who have commented on posts and those who follow me too, i feel like we are a community and are in it together. In time Steemit will grow to be something huge and mainstream, and i want to grow with the network and help make quality content for people to enjoy.
Not everyone wants to read about the 5 top tips or the next amazing cryptocurrency, so my music and art will be valued as a diversion from the bulk of posts of Steemit.
I started painting as a type of meditation and a way to be beyond rational thinking too. The paintings are widely loved and i sold many prints on facebook whenever i posted them.
My music is a type of record of the time and feelings i had when i was writing the songs, they all are deeply personal and i wrote them to leave something in the world published by me, to make my mark.

The next two weeks i hope to get to know you all a lot better and will be reading as many posts as i can everyday. I will be posting some photographs and stories from our recent holiday in Japan and some more of my songs and paintings too.
Look forward to connecting with you all and seeing what makes you tick.
Love and Light,
David.

meep

good to see you meep

It's definitely been a pleasure to come across someone who posts as much about the (independent) arts and such as you do. There is a lot of the same kind of thing in the "new" section and returning to my home feed and see your stuff definitely makes the site more bearable. Thanks much and may your wandering mind be comforted in the friendships you're establishing here!

wow Rob --that really lifts my spirits -- you know some of the posts hardly anyone looked, but the point is that some people do and they comment positively, so i feel like it is worth sticking with it and growing with the forums. Music goes so crazy on youtube but google ripped me off for the pitiful amount of advertising money, so i won't post anything new on there and facebook is all cats and food type thing

I'm clearly one of the 598 followers. :-)

thanks for being a follower and commenting - i hope we can grow together and do well here

congrats

Keep up the good work!!

Congrats hope you continue to find success and sell a few paintings :)
