I see Steemit as a platform where I can write quality stuff, be found by a receptive audience and, best of all, get paid for it. Admittedly, Im only getting cents and the occasional dollar but the reward factor is great and the ability to reward others with more than a Facebook style 'like is the clincher for me'. A couple of times ive been picked up by a whale, but thats the exception.

And then

One of the main reasons I like Steemit isnt because of the money, but for the fact that my work is recorded on a blockchain, which is to me, the most effecrive proof of when somethingvwas written and who by. Its a more secure kind of copyright

Are all good reason to join steemit.
