Well, have to be honest, i saw a youtube video explaining how steemit pays their users for uploading content, and i had to try it!... I was in a very critical economic situation (as many in my country), which have changed rapidly with steemit... That been said, once i realized how steemit works, i can honestly say that i am not staying here just for the money, but for the possibility of building a fanbase and followers for my music in the future, i think steemit have the fatest growing rate in users/followers i ever seen, at least for me... It was very hard for me to get this many followers in other social media...
