MY WAY OF THANKING THESE FELLOW STEEMIANS FOR ENCOURAGING ME ON THIS WONDERFUL PLATFORM!

As a freelancer who has been working online for years on various freelance sites, I have experienced dealing with lots of sites already. Some examples are paid to sign up sites, paid to click, paid to do typing jobs and paid to review kind of sites.

I have also experienced some paid to write/blog sites that is why when I encountered Steemit while browsing some sites, I got really interested on it on my first encounter with the site. My experiences in working online gave me ideas that there are really paid to write sites that are paying and not just scam. Although still needed to do thorough checking of the site before trying it in since there are lots of scam sites out there. Creating an account on Steemit is free and so, I think that it could be worth trying it.

So after studying a bit more of Steemit, I created my account. Since nobody really introduced the site to me, I feel the need before to really go read old posts about how the site works and how everything else needs to be understood. I got bit confused in the start cause there are lots of things to learn on Steemit. It is not just about writing and getting paid for it just like the other sites that I have encountered, Steemit is much bigger than I first thought it was. The Steem and Steem Power are just few things that makes me really think hard at first of how this site works. Together with the bots and registrations plus the terms curations and rewards pool, Step by step I have learned to get familiar with those terms and functions

I could also remember those times that I have seen some posts that were earning huge amount while other posts were not even a dollar worth. That makes me think why was that? When I created my introducing myself post and few other posts about general stuffs. Those articles did not get much attention and I did not got too worry much since it is a normal phase when you are starting on anything in general.

But along the way I feel that there should be more that I should do in order to get support for my articles. . I am glad that I have learned about the various communities available on the site and in Discord. It helped me a lot in learning more and meeting fellow Steemians like (@damarth

@ishotz) The support came in and in return, I am giving my support and engaging more. Really cool that this is not just about writing and getting paid, you can also communicate with real people and not just bots. 😊

That is one of the good thing that I have learned for being an online freelancer, help yourself to learn. Specially if you really do not have someone to help you in the start of your journey. Then try to be involved and help will be along your way.

Good thing that I never gave up on the site although comes the times that I almost did that. It is not an easy journey but it is worth it. Till now there are struggles on progressing on the site but as I have said before, progress is still a progress no matter how slow it is. Better to move forward than be stagnant and consistency is one of the key.
