RE: How I turn my STEEM into spendable cash (USA)
It's personal preference regarding the risks, and I will say this, I haven't been here 1 year, and I have been in WHALE-FLAG-WARS, not one, not two but closer to 5 or 6 times, autoflagged and such, I have hardly put down one decent post, maybe two, but have commented extensively on what I find interesting, important and whatever else catches my eye and have made a bit of steem on the Exchanges by buying low and selling high so that at the moment I probably made about 750 Steem, over 600 just from commenting on here. If you make 2-3 good posts you could earn that much, if you're not an insufferably disagreeable stickler for fact/truth like myself then you should expect to make much more than me, not only that I haven't disclosed SHIT about myself, don't have an Introduction Post even and will go toe to toe with anyone over matters of fact, and I still feel rewarded for doing essentially what I like. You will surprise yourself as well I'm sure, and if you don't plan on monetizing your steem now simply keep what I said in retrospective as we are a million different people from one day to the next ;)
I just checked and I had a little vote power, so I upvoted this comment.
I like to think ALL of my poems are good posts, some, according to the responses I get, may even be great poems, yet I still only make a few cents each.
There were a couple in the past weeks where I made $25, and $35 for those posts, I think someone was just being very generous.
I'm hanging around more for the ability to format my work in a
More 'eye pleasing ' way. Eventually, I would hope to be able
to publish, but in reality, I can't afford to pay a publisher, and
the self publishing I've looked into is just as complicated (if not
more so) that trying to navigate this quagmire.
I wear my heart and my life on my sleeve for everyone to see, in
Hopes that some of my experiences my help someone avoid
The stupidity I put myself through.
♥ Nice chatting with you @baah ♥
Have you tried the MSP (minnow support project)?
