Thank you so much for reading and suggesting @Canadian-coocnut.. I'm catching up here with how Steemit works. Trying to reply directly to you and not sure if it's working correctly. I have so much more to share and will definitely be adding photos and more... I love that you also write about vaccination. I'll follow you too. Do you have experience with vaccine injury personally? I would never have known any of this if my son hadn't been injured, which sent me into the rabbit hole... of 11 years of research and experience. the good news is that we can heal from vaccine injury. it's possible. Much Love to you!

Can I say I am not sure? My son has acted autistic and I am a worried about that. He seems to be turning into a normal "tween."

I feel more confident writing tools for Steem. For example I am the author of steemfiles.com, which allows you to buy and sell digital content. Maybe buy music or videos.

I wrote Steem Edit, which would allow you to save your posts, but you don't want that now. The web-editor in steemit.com here does that now.

I have a bunch of other ideas that I will integrate when I get back from Brazil. You can follow me and you will get my posts in your "feed".

I have been getting sub-dollar payouts for months but that's to be expected. When you start, you will get nothing but as your followers grow people will see your post in their feed".

You might not be interested in checking out other tools for Steem and you can decide to not follow me in the future, and that's okay. I will still follow you if you unfollow me. The relation is not symmetric. You might not be interested in my posts but I can still be interested in yours.

Thanks, i'll follow and check it out. One thing I don't understand is that this post says $146.... I do not know what that actually means... is it money I can eventually get? I joined in order to spread my message of healing, and really love the interaction here.

The $146 is an approximate value in $US. It could drop or rise a bit before the 7 days is done and the payout is made.

You will only get about 75% of the $ amount shown, as the other 25% goes to curators (the people who voted for you.)

You can check your wallet 7 days after the post and 'claim' your rewards.
I don't know if you chose to "power up" or to do the 50/50.
Power up will put all the steem into your locked-in wallet, which you can't easily remove (there is a way but you can learn that later.)
And 50/50 will pay half in powered-up Steem and half in Steem Dollars, which are free to withdraw right aways if you want to.

Steem is a crypto-currency like Bitcoin.
It's a big learning curve to withdraw as cash. You would have to open up a Bitcoin wallet, etc.

But if you don't really need money right now, you are best to power up your steem, as that increases your influence on the Steem network, and makes your vote for others worth more.

That's a really good start. payout is 50/50. It is only estimated but so far $73 will be paid in a week in Steem backed dollars and the rest in influence power tokens (steem power) which you can remove only slowly over many weeks. It's a big can of worms here but there are often articles on Steem power vs. steem vs. Steem backed dollars.

got it!!! awesome!!!

Thanks, learning. It feels really good.

That's great! Thanks for letting me know.
