It is a challenge to keep up on Steemit, one should inform himself and do his best to be updated about what is going on in Steemit, how it works and how to bring your input in this system. I am since August 2017 and after difficult start when my post immediately were lost in this avalanche of new post, I had to think what to change to make my account more successful and that means to learn more about the system and to discover your own strength. Again we are talking about make people interested to learn and to improve themselves. I was very surprised when I found so many other people like me who are artists and that there are many who organising nice contests that helps newcomer to show himself and to make some friends. I know that many including myself have good international friends, who we can share our experience and support, as a nice side-effect we have payouts for stuf that we created and I think that is why Steem became so strong within last few weeks and it is only begining. It is a good platform, I am grateful to be a part of this community, may be everybody already heard many time but Steemit changed my life!
