When I joined steemit, I came with my Facebook mentality . Lol. I never knew how to reference pictures and the need to reference pictures. What made matters even worst is the fact that I had no one to guide me when I started.

Instead of begging for upvotes, I started learning on my own and used my little earnings then to print fliers and told people about steemit.com.

My journey on Steemit wasn't smooth, but today is way way better than how It was when I first started. (the days of earning around $10 in a whole month).
