Thank You, Steemit!

[phoenixwren]

I have been on Steemit for twenty days. In that time, I have met some amazing folks and learned a lot of new things! But today, I just had to say thanks, because today I am wearing a new tee shirt and paid my electric bill ...with Steem!
In less than twenty days I earned enough Steem Dollars to cash out and buy this tee (I love it, by the way) from 6 Dollar Shirts (who accepts Bitcoin directly, by the way!), and pay my overdue utility bill. For someone like me who lives less on a shoestring budget and more like a wing and a prayer, that is huge. Steemit is huge. It would take months for me to earn this much on YouTube (mooooooonths), and I didn't power down - I only exchanged the Steem Dollars. I want to build my Steem Power, so I can give other people money with my upvotes, too!
So, thank you! Thank you for your upvotes, thank you for your follows, and thank you for reading! :)

It seems that more and more people are able to make a little extra on here, and most people use that such as you did. That is amazing you were able to do that, and looks like this post can already help with the next bill! I know I will follow, upvote and resteem this!

Thank you so much! You know, I knew there was earning potential going in, but I was thinking of it in terms of YouTube. This is a whole different ballgame. There is so much potential here!

Indeed...lets hope it continues.

Nice! As Stephen King put it:

“If you wrote something for which someone sent you a check, if you cashed the check and it didn't bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the money, I consider you talented.”

Looks like you're in the club!

[phoenixwren]

Ah ha ha ...that's a great quote. I'm talented!
