You're going to pay me to comment!?

Hi everyone! I'm new on Steemit and I must say I'm very excited about what this site has to offer. When I heard there was a social media platform out there that will pay me to do what I'm already doing for free, I just had to check it out.
For now I'll have to limit my participation to just comments. My laptop is out of commission and the thought of typing up an actual article on my phone seems rather daunting. Hopefully I can get it replaced soon because I have a ton of ideas for content bobbling around in my head.
Either way, I look forward to getting to know everyone and building up some steem of my own!
