"What I have learned on Steemit."

I joined this site on May 14, 2022, after delaying my decision for almost four months after getting an invitation from a member of this site. Unfortunately, I did not join through his referral link, so I will not name him, but he is a regular here and writes mostly in cryptographic categories.

In fact, I knew nothing about Steemit except that it was a cryptocurrency-related website, and I knew nothing about cryptocurrency aside from earning it through survey sites, so I only knew the fundamentals.I had a couple of cryptocurrency wallets, but nothing much.

I have been writing for almost 12 years, but my writing was altogether different from what and how I write here. I had mostly written about financial and marketing management and published them on various international websites, so yes, I knew the basics of writing. However, now I feel a little more satisfied because I have a wide selection of topics to choose from according to my interests.

Let me confess: I was obsessed with writing about fiction, and I had done a couple of posts on different websites, but again, nothing much. And would you believe that I have posted almost 200 posts in the fiction and creative writing section only in various communities, mostly Spanish, and I am loving that? However I have close to 325 posts on this site so far.

Incidentally, I joined the Hindwhale community as a moderator but resigned soon as it was a little too early for me. Then I was offered the same post in Incredible India, but again I declined because I wanted to make some name for myself before I took any responsibility. But as I am so fascinated by writing fiction and stories, I have decided to create a community specifically on these two topics, which I hope to bring to the surface soon.

I have a couple of contests that I started, but unfortunately the administrator of the community decided to shut them down due to her own health problems, so I will do them on my own and hopefully make them successful.

I am on various international forums that allow their members to promote various writers on Steemit, but again, I was not much interested since it paid through cryptocurrency, and the future of cryptocurrency looked bleak to me. However, as most of the writing sites were going down due to the algorithm, I decided to give it a go, and I am glad I did.

I've been on this site for nearly eight and a half months, with nearly 325 posts and nearly 3700 STEEM in my wallet, though I've never cashed any out. I am loving every moment I am living on this platform, and I have forgotten that I am unemployed right now and will remain so for the next few months.

Note: I wish they paid my balance of TRX, which will take me well past 4000 STEEM.

I am enjoying each of my posts on this site as my personal growth and rank increase as my senior management appraisal increases. I am enjoying every Steem that is added to my wallet, and I feel I am getting closer to my first Dolphin status.

To be frank, one has to be sufficiently confident before asking others to join a site. I am on LinkedIn, where I refer people to join various companies that I feel are worth joining. Same was the case here, as soon as I started understanding this website, I invited one of my friends who lives in a nearby city, and he joined the site on my invitation, but as usual, he was not interested enough to contribute.

Later, I asked him to post for a change and see what happened, and he began in December with over 1000 STEEM in his wallet and a couple of good power ups, and he is also a member of Club 100.

I'd like to share a link to one of the posts written by @sur-riti, whom I invited.

I am still a newbie myself and am still in the process of learning, so what I will tell them is what I have learned so far. To begin with, avoid anything that is unethical: no plagiarized content or copyrighted images.

My next suggestion is to stay positive and keep increasing your power so that you can help others and help Steem Blockchain reach new heights. I know it's not easy to stay positive all the time, especially when the site has no fixed payment system, but it all depends on whether others decide to pay you for your efforts or not.

I am fortunate enough that almost all my posts have hit the deck, and I hope the same for my friends that come through my invitation. I will keep trying my best to suggest whatever I can to keep them motivated and show them the way to success.
