It's been a week since I joined Steemit. Thanks to my friend @tamsguitar.
This morning when I logged in I saw that my open mic week 39 entry has 100+ votes!
I was super excited.
Then I saw that it was Trending in the Open mic tag!

Now this is great and I am really happy that being a minnow and all, right in my first week I could achieve this.

But the question is how did this happen?
I am curious to know so that I can repeat the process.

I am learning a lot about Steemit everyday, and there are so many things I still do not understand.
My friend @varunsangwan says someone might have submitted my post to @curie. This is the first time I heard about such a thing so I researched about it.
And this is exactly how my entire week has been:
find a term I do not understand > learn about it > apply it to my content here
Variety hacks.Like the other day I learnt how to write better posts from @sidwrite's post on
So now I do this:
Steemit Buddy.
It's a whole new world and a whole lotta learning for me which I love and is very exciting.Then the good people in my Indian discord channel told me about all the music contests going on. And I've learnt a lot about the cryptocurrency from here and the videos on my friend @tamsguitar's youtube channel
Steemit is a great platform for creators like me. Coz all we require from the audience is a bit of appreciation for the efforts. Everybody learns and gets better with time, but a pat on the back (and some money to go with it) goes a long way to inspire you to keep making the efforts.
And this trending post has done exactly that for me. It has inspired me to keep on going and making even better content.
So to whoever submitted my post in curie I say this:
โจ Have a great day โจ

That's a super good payout for a first week post. You're doing great. You going to invest the Steem dollars in Steem power? Just curious. I think I will put all my payouts for a while into SP to increase my influence here.
I am not sure. Will wait for another week to decide I guess. Till then all my first week's posts would have had payouts.
You guys know each other?
And, great to see your other post dude! Keep going. @tamsguitar @hardikv.
