I will admit, I'm still new to Steemit. I first heard of it sometime in May, but shrugged it off at the time. I had too much on my plate, with my YouTube channel, I told myself.
However, after being on here for a short while, I've been pleasantly surprised at the level of interaction, the variety of posts, and the potential this site has to grow. And yeah, no one wants to admit it, but the fact that you get paid, and you can see how fast your Steem is being accumulated, makes Steemit all the more alluring (though, it's not a lot compared to YouTube revenue, at first).
I'll be honest, when I first found Steemit, my plan was to basically copy my video links from my YouTube channel to each post. That's it. I wasn't interested in having an entire new platform to suck away my time. But, seeing the potential this site has to be the next big thing, I can't help but go all in on Steemit. Replying, upvoting, all of that. Originally, I was just going to share links. Now, I'm more than happy to essentially type up an article to go with the video, an article that can be read rather than watching the video.
To me, Steemit is more than just another site for me to gain exposure on. It's more than a way to make a quick buck. It's a chance to be part of creating something bigger than each of the individual accounts. It's a chance to create a new platform that is entirely different than anything conceived before it.
I Wish I Had Joined Steemit Earlier.

Had similar intentions when i joined... to just repost content from my blog and leave it at that. But in my month or so i've come to appreciate that Steemit is as much about the community as it is the content.
As the Chinese proverb goes - The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now
same here @silverfortune youtube really didn't make me want to do anything other then comment and reply now I'm really working on starting a channel hope I can figure that part out hahahaha
i joined only a couple of days ago and actually feel that i'm just in the right time... it's only begining, and one day we all would be able to say that we joined steemit as early as 2017 :)
That's what I'm hoping!
Me too :-) It's so interesting
I wish you had joined Steemit earlier too :) But you're here now, and that's what matters. I'm following you and humbly ask you to do the same.
Done!
I'm glad you are here my friend! I really enjoy your videos and I am excited when hugely valuable content creators join aboard steemit! This is still just the beginning! God Bless! followed! ~Hratch
It's a pretty cool platform, I just joined a month ago myself. Been posting a lot of my photography on here.
better late than never!
Me too, Steemit is the best!!

Glad you signed up. It is a fun place to spend time.
You still got in very early, I think. 10 years from now you'll be like "I was on steemit in the early days"
I too am pleasantly surprised!
