Jerry Banfield certainly isn't a needy blogger, and my few cents in upvote won't count for anything in the grand scheme of things. But I'm upvoting anyway, and leaving a short comment despite knowing this will get buried.

I have yet to read the posts here but I'm very confident they will be useful to me. As with everyone else, I dream about making it to the big league at Steemit - to create a revenue stream so as to help improve my life and that of my loved ones. This platform is the best I know of towards this goal. I'm still very far away, but I'm encouraged when I see others doing well. They must be doing something right, and I'm going to learn from these posts.
