So why did you Join Steemit??
Can you answer that question!
Do you even remember the reason you joined for the First Time?

I may be wrong on this matter but I think maximum people who join Steemit for the first time come to this platform looking for Money.
Then there are some peoples who got fed up with the BS on Facebook and thought about starting fresh on Steemit.
Then there is the final category of peoples who are here just to share the Knowledge they have and have some fun at the same Time.

Now I am saying this again as I could be totally wrong about my previous statement, but this is what I think is the reason why many Newbies join Steemit. The ratio among the three categories might be 5:3:2 respectively. In fact, when I first found Steemit back in 2016 I was just baffled to see posts getting so much Money. But at that time I had no idea how Steemit worked.

Fast forward that to 2017 I got some knowledge on Steemit and other cryptocurrencies and dived in head first into the world of Steemit. But by then my Infatuation with money had declined. Don't get me wrong I love the Cash I am getting from Steemit, but Cash is not everything here.
The community and the Knowledge provided also matters.

Now some of you guys might be thinking why I am making this post. It's because I am seeing some people starting to leave Steemit since they are not earning Thousands of Dollars in every post they make.

I am insisting on you guys to stay and have the same fun you were having on Facebook and other Social Media websites.
Remember those websites gave you Zero Dollars, so why do you feel the reason to go to them if your only criteria are Money.
Stay here make some Friends.
Don't be all about Money.

This post is rather out of my Genre but I thought this was necessary.

Awesome post sir I am also new but honestly saying first my aim after joining steemit is to earn then afterward learn..as we are indian so you can understand that.

Money is always a huge Motivation I know that but when you stay in this community for a few months you will learn that Money is not everything in Steemit.

There are many peoples who just decline their payouts.

You are absolutely right and I want you to read my blog you am I sure you will definitely find it interesting.

Ofcourse I will go through it as soon as I can.

And If you can sir please resteem any of my post its a request.

I was thinking of starting an account on blogspot for writing fiction/poems and the likes that I do post, when I came across Steemit. The idea of having the ability of posting my stories and at the same time earning money for it seemed great.
I don't always make a lot of money from my posts. There are some posts that make less than a $1 but that has never stopped me from posting consistently here.

It doesn't matter how much you are making right now.

You should ask yourself are you having Fun??

And sooner than later you will receive some whale votes if you keep Posting good content.

I joined steemit because i started seeing value for my content and more so i love the community hood of the platform ,sharing in times of trouble. even if people leave others will still join

There is a strange comradery in Steemit which you won't find in other Social media Platforms.

Steemit is the Best

I think you have sound thoughts here. I've been on Steemit for a week. Yes, the idea of making money by posting quality content lured me here in the first place, but now I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED ABOUT THE PEOPLE!

Ahem, sorry for shouting. But seriously, this platform is amazing not only because it rewards quality content, but because it rewards people for being supportive, kind, thoughtful human beings! It rewards us for helping each other! This is how the world needs to function. Steemit, and other social and monetary experiments playing out right now, are giving me renewed hope for the planet. Steem on!

Yes unlike Facebook where there is absolutely no concern for other people unless they are in a Group. Steemit does not have that problem.

I have seen countless people get slammed on Facebook simply because someone in the world found that offensive.

Just ridiculous.

I joined to check out the site a few people had told me about where there was the possibility to make money

I stayed not for the possibility of making money which is a nice bonus but not my main reason I have found a wonderful sense of community and fellowship on Steemit and that keeps me here

Yes the community is very helpful and supporting.

It is this Comradery that is the most appealing feature to me.

Yes and I find the sense of community on Steemit unlike anything else on any other social media site

Thank you for using the family tag! This post was chosen to be featured in the latest issue of 'Notes'. Keep Steeming on!
