Hi everyone! So I just realized that as of two days ago, it's been ONE YEAR since I joined this incredible platform!
I've met so many incredible people, I've made enough money on a weekly basis for the most part to keep my operation going and I've found a way to not be censored!
I was encouraged by Jeff Berwick @DollarVigilante to join on August 1st, 2016. It took a little while to get used to the platform but as it improved, so did I (as it should be in any realm of life).
Since March, I've been posting constantly and it's changed my life. After YouTube demonetized me (World Alternative Media) almost entirely, I wasn't sure how I was going to continue working 18 hours a day to bring people great content and info! Well, Steemit has been the answer. If it weren't for Steemit, I honestly don't think I'd be able to do it!
This is the future of social media as I say so often. The dinosaur social medias like Facebook and Twitter are dying due to their decision to censor anyone that doesn't follow the official establishment narrative.
This platform excites me and I see STEEM itself climbing a good deal by the end of the year. The untapped potential demand is incredible!
Tell your friends and family about Steemit! Spread the word! Just in the last week I've been happy to see @KeiserReport join Steemit and start posting regularly! These are the types of game changers we need on this incredible platform and in no time, we'll see a mass exodus of the dinosaur social medias and a mass influx of free individuals who understand their value flooding the platform and being encouraged to create and in turn encourage others as well!
The domino effect is happening and it's all up from here! ;)
Congrats on your first year Josh, I've been on here for just 2 months but I wish I'd signed up when you did
Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on your one year anniversary 😊🎂 Time really flies when you are having fun

Steemit wonderful community
Yes it is ☺️
Thank you! You too! :)
😊 Have a great day my friend and stay Awesome
Good job
Congrats on the one year, Josh! Keep up the good work.
Thank you! :) Can't wait for the next year on Steemit!
Thanks @joshsigurdson for what you all do here! You the best bro, when you ever get back to Vegas, hit me up 🙌🏼💯
Thanks man! I'll definitely hit you up!
Congratulations on one year @Joshsigurdson! Looking forward to more great content!
Thank you! Looking forward to producing it! :P
Congratulations my friend. Persistence and hard work are obviously paying off for you. Well done for getting in early - I also heard about steemit from the dollar vigilante but only in May this year so I've got a way to go to catch you up!
one year! Congratulations! Makes me realize how noob I am :)
Keep it up! Thank you for sharing
lol thanks! We're all noobs on here. ;)
Wow, Youtube demonetized you??? Did you have all original content??
Yup! All original. It was considered "too controversial". Apparently talking about central banking and derivatives is "too controversial".
The funny part is, despite being "non-advertiser friendly", ads still pop up which means YouTube takes all the money.
I've only been demonetized 90%. I still make some money off of YouTube. But I should be making 25000 a month rather than 2500 (at the most).
Wow that's discrimination and repression - it's a pity that democracy is sometimes just a concept, an ideal we don't actually live - same for §19 of the human rights (free speach).
That is greasy! I wondered if they did that or not. Totally unethical.
Thank you Josh ! You have opened my eyes to the real potential of crypto currencies and anthem gold/physical precious metals. Thank you so much :D Your work at WAM is outstanding and a great source of motivation for me 👍 Keep it up !!
Thank you! I really appreciate that. :)
Wish I was here a year ago. Still early though :).
Congratulations on your 1 year here on steemit. I am currently on my second month, pretty much enjoying steemit. Hope I had found it sooner.
I am Read the post from you more excited about Steemit, And how together can produce more in steemit. Besides, as long as I'm with steemit, my ability to speak and also to make up stories increases.
Thank you for making steaming with steemit.
Best regards from me at #Aceh
Congrats on 1 year! Hope you've enjoyed your time here.
Congratulations on the year marker. I joined steemit 2 days ago and am struggling to get my head around how it works. Im a "youtuber" that followed a few of the channels that have switched to steemit and must say am disappointed by youtubes rules and regs. I understand that a lot of you guys put many hours and effort and even make it your full time job to bring us "sheeple" the real news the corporately owed big news channels won't. I'm glad there is now a platform where freedom of speech and opinion sharing is no longer censored and at least a small amount can still be made to help get the word out. Sorry if I've waffled on too much... Any way as I was saying congratulations on making a year ;-)
