My very best friend called me and told me "There are girls on steemit posting articles about make-up that make thousands of dollars. I bet your surfer girl stuff will kill it in there!"
Well I didn't make so much. My intro post earned $3,63: https://steemit.com/liveyourdream/@surfermarly/from-city-girl-to-surfer-girl-steem-your-dreams
Then I found out that storytelling was one of my hidden passions and I kept on blogging, independently from any monetary success. I even started to write a book since the positive feedback on steemit made me feel very confident when writing. My English has improved considerably since I'm here. Not to mention all these amazing people I've come to know along the way. There is something true about that "came for the money and stayed for the community" slogan...:-)
Thank you for the reply. I am really enjoying your posts. "came for the money and stayed for the community" I'm a newbie and I already feel the same way. I was really craving something different. I should probably focus on making some money though. Haha
Everything in life needs a certain training period. After a couple of months blogging on steemit is like riding a bicycle :-)
