Such an awesome post, Zippy! You and I hit our one week mark around the same time! I'm feeling about the same... I've been a bit obsessed and excited about the possibilities. I think my old social media channels got so stale- it's exciting to meet new people and have them view my content as great work. But you're right it can be a bit like screaming into a void... I see the big players raking in the dough and wonder how they got there. How can I create content interesting enough to gain that much attention? In any case, I've settled down and accepted my plankton-like status happily. Because I've met (and continue to meet) awesome people such as yourself and I'm loving seeing all the amazing content coming from you all.
It's funny- your 'how I got onto Steemit' story is exactly the same as mine!!
So, let's keep it up, keep having fun, keep supporting each other, and maybe we'll make a couple bucks along the way! Cheers!
