Great first vlog for @steemaniacs Marly!

This definitely a question that ponders many minds when they join steemit for the first time as the monetary aspect is a large selling point for many users.

I believe as you said, 'it isn't a money making machine', you are just a cog in this beautiful machine called steemit.
If you put the work in you will be rewarded and even though you may not have explosive growth initially. However, over time people will see and reward your work.

I've been on this site for a month only and I've been posting and working every day but on the way, I've met some amazing people and the money is now only an additional benefit on my time here which I keep in steem power so I can award and help others.

Keep up the great work @surfermarly! <3
