I can now imagine why many of the people I invited to join steemit did not even bother to register. For them, steemit looks like a scam or an easy-money scheme. Little did they know that you have to work hard for every penny that you earn here. This post also reminds me of my post last December. It's about the Snowball Effect. Our steemit career is analogous to the snowball that is rolling down the hill. It has to start small but it will compound as we continue making our presence here to be felt by the community.
Your post Gilaine always reminded me to invest in myself. That it's never wrong to invest in yourself, it might be here on steemit or in real life.
Yes! Reinvest as much as you can, as often as you can. We never know what will happen tomorrow, so we have to be ready. And you are right about the snowball affect, AKA compounding. <3
I don't understand why would people think Steemit is a scam when it's free to sign up and best the thing is you get paid for contributing to the community. It's funny how people are so quick to judge and think that they already know things without even reading about it.
Those people whom you told about steemit and saw that you are doing well will definitly regret that they didn't take the chance.
I also invited a lot of people on Steemit, on my facebook and instagram. Even My family, relatives and close friends. Only three of them are still active on Steemit. Some quit because of... different excuses.
Yes, compound interest- very powerful. I learned it when I was investing in a mutual fund for a stock broker. That's why it's really important to POWER UP.
Thank you for your time to read my article, I hope you learn something and continue engaging with the Steemians. Who knows the next WHALE will be, it could be you and the people that you are helping to grow on Steemit. =)
I couldn't understand them also, but I speculate that they could not grasp the idea that they can earn huge amounts by just posting. It's funny because some are skeptical before because I haven't cashed out yet. The moment they knew I was able to cash out, most of my workmates registered immediately. But were not confirmed yet. I don't know why, but it's been almost a month already and there were no confirmation emails.
I learned from the last meet up, specifically from you, that I should engage with the community. If could not post daily, at least I comment on others post. Welcoming the newbies is also very important. I just did what you taught from the last meet up and it has been great for me so far. Thank you!
