Excellent thinking and you are precisely right. Encourage new people to power up as well.

I blast posts daily on all my social media outlets. I give shoutouts to Trevon as well . Looks like I gotta start sharing your posts as well. Great advice, thanks!

thank you very much, my 6 year old's name is Sun Grant.... sunshine :)

@craig-grant I like that you are looking out for the new people on Steemit after all i'm one I just get on here a few day ago. I would like to recommend it to other people but I myself don't know specifically how everything works. For most new people on Steemit it is their first contact with crypto-currency (me included) .
Could you make a guide for newbies con crypto- currency?
Also what advice do you have for those who don't make money on their posts and can't afford Bitcoin?
I actually wanted to try buying bitcoin to test out using crypto-currency but I can't afford.

Everybody has opportunity to earn with this platform. Writing quaility content is hard and neds both talent and hard work. Since steem is free to donate through voting you made excelent point how to make community stronger for starters. When they earn steem they see that it work and can write content that could good them paid. So far lots of low quaility is getting paid, but with more users, thus more variety nad quality enters network that will hopefully settle down.
Thank you for making point for rewarding newcomers .

Love the image! It never got it's proper respect, but I'm biased. ;)

I really do hope that Steemit gets so popular that it causes a spike in demand for for Bitcoin so people can purchase Steem. Who would have predicted such a scenario a few months ago? I doubt any exchange sells Steem for US dollars anytime soon so Bitcoin will be the gateway currency into Steem for the foreseeable future. Here is my latest Steemit post which deals with the Bitcoin/Steem relationship: https://steemit.com/steemit/@bitcoinmeister/is-steem-the-non-technical-ethereum-rival-of-bitcoin-will-steemit-be-the-spark-that-starts-the-rush-of-regular-people-into-the
