Welcome to SteemIt. SteemIt is a social media site that rewards users with a crypto currency called STEEM.
The rewards come from interest on the STEEM POWER in one's account. I have 705 SP. My upvote is worth about $0.0004 .
The money you receive will be newly minted STEEM.
Of course, the STEEM POWER in my account came from my assorted machinations on the platform through the years.
A post needs to have over $0.02 in SP rewards to receive payment.
BTW: A great way to start an account is to write a post with the tag #introduceyourself . The intro post might have information about yourself, your interests and what you want to accomplish on SteemIt. There are a few accounts with substantial STEEM which follow that tag.
I wish you success on SteemIt.
Thanks 😊
