@jamtaylor that's quite an unique celebration that you are having, an anniversary for the first payout. But it also shows how much you have grown and scaled up since last one year.
I agree with you on holding SP. I am here since about 3 weeks now and all I am doing is power up and power up. I need cash, but then I am still powering up so that I stack up a decent number of SPs and then take it from there. I have a very insignificant teeny weeny 250SP till now, but then I am only 3 weeks here and a first time ever blogger who never ever blogger earlier, so I guess it will become better as the time progresses.
Wish you the very best in building your SP and looking forward to reading some of your blogs in coming days. Steem On!! God bless.
What's nice about Steemit is that it provides an incentive for people who may have a creative streak but who have never actually put anything out there to spend more time cultivating that for an audience. You've made ~$500 in 3 weeks by blogging which you've never done before. That's a success! You wouldn't get that anywhere else in such a short space of time. Keep it up and keep getting better at it.
