How I Made My First cent

Steemit is a social media platform where everyone gets paid for creating and curating content, it took me a while to understand what's going on Steemit and how to go about it.
I thought it was all about posting and waiting for upvotes, I had to go watch videos and read contents to understand how it works.
Commenting on post can go a long way for you as a newbie, the more you drop comments and give upvote can increase your Steem power (SP) [A measurement of how much influence a user has in the steem network ]
