Greetings @cointravel,

Welcome to Steemit.
Let me brief you on what Steemit is all about
Steemit is one of the best social network where the author is being rewarded for his/her good contents.
NOTE: Steemit is not completely a platform for making money, but it's a platform where authors and writers on steemit are getting paid for their stories, posts, articles, and writings. It is also a place where the writers can express there thought, mind and feelings. Steemit is just like a educational institution for sharing and exchange of ideology, steemit is a blockchain that help nurture the dream of people in becoming thoughtful authors and writers. steemit is on top of the steem blockchain database.
But you May wonder, how can I make money in this platform and what's the benefits?

The benefit of Steem Dollars is that business can accept them more comfortably since they have a more stable value. authors can choose to receive 100% SP or call it steem power, authors dont get 100% of payout curators also he have a certain percentage from the payout received by authors.
let me stop here for now, have fun make new friends, always remember the key to success is following and making a meaningful comment in other people's post. Best regards @luckyspark
