I think the takeaway from all of this is to keep calm, keep posting, and keep getting better!
I look back at my first few posts and cringe. Steemit is allowing me to find a voice and distinct writing style, and I think that alone is priceless. Getting rewarded for that with SP is the cherry on top. Your research clearly shows that sticking with it, getting better, and getting rewarded is a true feature of this system.
exactly.
stellabelle, thanks for chipping in. I feel honored to see a queen of Steemit reputation here.
Actually, you hold two first places. Just realized you're the top writer on Steemit and one of very early adopters.
The winning post was the first as well :)
@stellabelle how many posts did it take for you to achieve a big hit on other platforms?
I better get writing!!!!
