You're gonna be rich remain calm.
It all began when I made my introduction post. Wow! People saw me, i made a little money, a lil something something - a couple bucks but it was magical...
Money just to say, "Hi this is me I am cool huh?" Confucius say it does not matter how slow you go as long as you do not stop.

I could not know that it would be a struggle for the next few days.
But I was hooked, im a very active member of my local community and I am working constantly on my fledgling business and myself... time was limited but I would make more posts. What do I do? Brag. My second post (now that I am more familiar with the nuances of Steemian culture.) just seems like bragging. How was I to know that our airline vouchers would strand us far from the lovely lights of Vegas?
Then I decided to start eating faces, terrible mistake. You should never eat someone's face before saying hello. @steemgigs @dollarvigilante
It was a little daunting, I couldn't even live up to my first post! Oh no I lost the sparkle! It was like losing at the game go fish four times straight. I almost gave up because I was being a baby. And then the sparkle came back...
I found #artstyleart contest with @aksinya and started to really blossom on Steem. I competed against a host of other talented artists and I placed in the contest! My post was worth a total of about 70 steem and then plus the contest rewards! If STEEM rockets to the moon who knows what that 70 steem will be worth?

Well said @stargarden. It's very daunting early on, on Steemit but it gets better.
The only thing I miss in steemit is the money from advertisers. Please steemit developers, welcome advertisings.
I never miss it, to be honest. Upvotes are worth more than ads. A lot more.
But ads would increment earnings a lot. And make people more and more interested in joining the community. Never demonize adverts.
Steemit naturally pays marketers, it's interesting because theres a completely new way to stockpile or store influence in the Steem power token
I think some people put adds in their posts. There is no censorship on here short of flagging.
But I mean more powerful and far reaching adverts in the main page, in each subtopic main page etc...
I think Marketers can see the advantage of putting their money into a platform as a "loan" almost, except that in return for loading up steem power, only they're getting the outreach, clients, leads and customers without PAYING overhead.
Great post ! I love and enter many contests on here ! Thanks for the up vote ! Upped yours as well ! Steem on my friend and good luck !👍👍👍
That was extremely well said. As I am surfing Steemit looking to encourage folks, I am finding that their posts are "thrown up at the wall and pray it sticks kind of posts."
Steem On.
You gotta fake it til you make it for sure - like this post is hot lots of folks are poppin
Congratulations! I wonder if we are finally headed towards that artist Utopia future that everyone predicted will happen if artists were finally compensated.
