Same for me, a few friends told me about Steemit and I just ignored everything, I thought that I didn't have anything to share because I'm not too fluent in writing. I even created my account and I didn't use it until after a month when a coworker told me "You art is good, why don't post it? You most hate you money if you don't post it!", that's when I decided to try it and so far I like it. At first it was a little bit dissapoiting not having enough upvotes, but I understand that everything is in building a good base and that will pay off in the future.
