Short & sweet here, folks. But worth sharing!
I have a reward count that still has me blinking in disbelief now. (I know it will fluctuate a bit and that the payouts will be divided up as well, but still! I didn't dream of hitting that so quickly! I remember my first day I was super excited to make 60 cents, lol. I texted my mom about it.)
Here is how I ended up doing pretty dang well my first week here:
- I put into the practice the very true reality that I like people and like interacting in an authentic way.
- I hustled and got right to work posting articles and bits of my music and writing, as well as commenting on others' posts and starting real conversations.
- I focused on making the best content I could, and being honest and clear about what I care about.
- The hard fork happened..
- PEOPLE ON STEEM ARE AMAZING AND SUPPORTIVE AND HAVE HELD ME UP IN WAYS INCOMPARABLE TO ANYTHING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.*
*note the obnoxious and emphatic all caps
Happy girl right here:

This is an amzing community. I have really high hopes for the future here. Was pretty much burned out on almost all other platforms to the point of not really using them any more due to spam and trolls. The only place where I still post content daily is Youtube because it was the only place where I could post my recipe videos and grow a fairly responsive audience. So far this is much better and with out trolls.
Yes to ALL of this!
I'm so happy that i can express my support by upvoting content and and make someone wealthier. It's great. It's magic. While the cryptomarket is growing steemit can support that magical stream. Happy hours ladies and gentlemen, enjoy that moments and do your best.
Thank you for this! Going to try my best to hustle too! How often would you post a week?
A few times a day, actually. And I talk to a lot of people--mostly just encouraging them to throw themselves into the platform and bragging about how good it is! Which is all true!
Awesome! I am trying to come up with blog or posts that are quality and not take a few mere minutes to make like I see a lot in the new section :/ What are your thoughts on that??
I'm a fast writer, to be honest, but I've also spent a LOT of time reading and thinking and writing for years, so it feels accessible to me to write good content relatively quickly. That said, I do spend a lot of time at it still. That works for me, but just go with whatever works for you! xx
You such a badass @kayclarity ... You got awesome skills :)
haha! Honestly, I've worked hard, but that truly wouldn't matter if the people here hadn't been so generous and supportive of me so far.
That's true, i better step my steemit hustle on to get you to follow me at least. sheshh haha jk jk
Sounds like you had a busy week. Nice job!
I did! But it was wonderful meeting all of you on here!
i think this article might help me because i am new :)
Glad to hear!
Amazing job :) way to go.
Thank you! I'm so encouraged--it's been a long & painful journey as a broke and "starving artist" so it's wonderfully encouraging. xx
No problem and I hope you do as well this week <3 Xx
Thanks! I'm staying detached but just so happy to finally see some return on literally YEARS of hard work and a lot of suffering to get to where I am. It's so encouraging. And I really believe people here want me to do well. It's amazing.
Congratulations! It is also my first week and i'm amazed, amazing community with great content. This really inspired me to share some of my thoughts and ideas, this is the best project i've seen in a while.
Have a great week and steam on!
Isn't just the best? Hope you do well! xx, Kay
Yay!! Congrats! :)
Thank you so much!
We're all happy, it's HF19-fest.
haha yes!
You're a rock, so glad you've found a place here. I'm one that you took time to help learn the ropes here over the past couple days and I'm so grateful to you.
Wish I could do more than just upvote for you. Thanks so much for your compassion and most importantly...grace under pressure. I had no idea until I just read this. oxo
Wow - this is one of the kindest messages I've received all week! Thank you so much. Really just glad and humbled I could be helpful! Really hope you're enjoying yourself here :) xx!
Wow...you're lightning in a bottle...that was one fast reply. I glimpse a bit of the gleam off your secret I think...well one of them anyway.
Thank you for seeing the sincerity in my words. I mean every one of them.
lol! "Lightning in bottle!" I am a little bit of a crazy typer. I often get the 20 seconds comment notification.. haha
~smiles fer miles~
This is definitely not Facebook haha
So glad I met you on here :)
Oh my gosh is it ever not! Me too :)
Yes! haha
Hope you have a lovely evening :)
You, too!
Congrats @kayclarity! Hard work really pays off. I'm in my first week and I'm hustling every day! HF19 was crazy to begin with.. Followed you!
I have really found that. The rest of the online world is really not like that, but it feels that way here. Kindness, talent, and effort really mean something, and it's so very encouraging. Thank you so much for your support!
Yeah it's like the opposite of Reddit. People are generally friendlier here.
Yeah.. I really didn't think I could ever handle Reddit. I'm a little too thin-skinned for that! But I think people are also critical here, in a good way. They don't mind saying when they disagree, but they do it tactfully with good arguments. A nice change.
It was great to meet you! :)
You, too! :)
Thank you for being here. and nice to meet you.
You are rock!
Thank you! xx
This post was motivation to go harder; I'm definitely going to use your approach. I have followed you for future inspiration, thanks for the great post. 🙏🙏
Glad to hear! Thank you for your support--hopefully my journey can help yours!
🙏
Thanks for the tips, I just started today but I thought I'd be doing better on my first post! gotta work work work!
I think you'll do great--just keep at it!
You're very passionate, and you deserve this! <3 I think you put in 4x as much effort as many other newbies..your posting record is pretty up there :))
Well done, and keep it coming, @kayclarity!
Thank you :).
Let's face it.. HF19 was just a shortcut. You would've reached great results without HF19 too.. It would've taken longer time, but you would've reached awesome results no matter what. You rock!
Thanks for saying that. The most important thing is honestly the support of people (like you..) on here. Without that, you can't gain any traction, no matter how hard you work. I'm grateful.
@kayclarity Xx ;)
haha that's going to last forever.
Cool. Thank you for sharing, dear. *Taking notes.
:)
lol :). For sure - I'm very happy to be of help a little. I appreciated the kindness when I was new here as well. xx
When hustle meets talent! Great idea for a post, I may make one tomorrow :)
Sounds great! Let me know when it goes up! xx
It's up! :D
