"Steemit has given my family so many opportunities that never would have occurred if we hadn't joined, it has been a massive turning point in our lives - we decided early on we were here to stay, I have never been so glad of any decision we've ever made.
I just don't know how to explain how truly grateful we are, we don't live a lavish lifestyle and our family faces many restrictions with our childrens special needs - but this opens up whole worlds of possibilities for us."
This is so awesome. I came across this post by a resteem and I am glad I got to read it. This is the best thing about steemit . . you don't have to be an experienced trader or investor to do well here. But ANYONE can do great here with hard work.
Congrats.
I absolutely agree with the hard work part, people join and expect it to happen immediately -just go back and look at any long term account and see how much they made with their first posts, usually not very much if anything.
Steemit is amazing and can help anyone achieve great things, but yeah there really isn't any point if you're just not willing to put in any work - people will see it and wonder why a shit post deserves a vote, when all it does is take away from everyone who does good works reward pool.
Thanks so much for your comment - Cheers :)
