Thank you for those words @cheema1.

It is my experience on here. I started back in August, about 6 months ago, put in the time and effort which netted me results. While I did buy some STEEM, which helped, a great deal of my account is from doing what steemit was designed to do...post, comment, and upvote.

Each day I post, consistently post while leaving a ton of comments. In the end, it all adds up.

And the most important thing, I powered up every chance I can....
