Wow, what a ride this platform is! We the Steemians and Steemsters are flocking to steemit like hungry lions on a gazelle, a meaty never ending gazelle. Some of us are getting big here, most of us are not, but some of us are. It is a ride of uncertainty, but it is a ride worth taking. My experience has been good so far here. 

For me 1st month here was great time to learn about the platform, about writing in general, and improving my english language skills. Being a Croatian and having thoughts in different language and translating those to english is not an easy task at all, but I'm hanging in there and pushing it.

6 months from now when i look at my old blog posts i will probably laugh at them, but i will also know that those posts were my building foundations for the future.

In terms of blog earnings there have been ups and downs, more downs but those rare ups sure did spice up my day.

 I started to see some real steem power 4th day on steemit with my begginer blog about Tesla Model 3, post made 10 dollars. WOW, Such joy, much Cash.

Then i made 180 dollars on a message i've sent to Live, a girl from Norway. Hi there @laivi where are you, looking forvard for more of your blogs. So earn even more money on a comment here, sure i'll take it.

Hype was real by then, i started to spread the good news of steemit around, and one of my close friends signed up @dumar022, so give him some love too.

One post i didn't expect to get any love was a parody about traveling and it got 50 dollars.

My 1st blog that made it big was one i wrote in about 30 minutes, but somehow it got the traction and went viral up to 550 dollars, that was a good day.

There were some days when i didn't write much cause there were many music festivals in my area. I had to attend them and i lost that writing continuity.

Now i feel recovered and ready to go.

In the end i would like to give few tips to the newcomers here.

Most important thing on this platform is to STAY POSITIVE and look @ it for the long term and never give up, don't get salty, don't get envious, and be supportive. 

Good days will come!
