Over time your reputation and brand should grow here on Steemit. This is only a few months old, I can only imagine what those of that have gotten in early will experience when it's a few years aged. A site like this provides the platform to self-publish, but more importantly the power of the income a writer needs to be in control. I can't think of any other place, online or off that we get paid to write, but also pay the readers. It's totally unique. You got my follow with Marilyn Manson :)
