$13.50
Well slap me joyful. That's the balance of my wallet on Steemit.
Pffftt, you might say. Get some time up.
Yes, it looks small, BUT (and it's a big but), this is more than I've ever made from facebook, pinterest or twitter...combined.
Now, it's possible that this could be the result of the fact that I have no clue what I'm really doing with those platforms (in fact, that's probably the crux of the matter right there), but it still highlights the point that with just 3 posts on this here awesome platform, I have made $13.50, where with the others I made diddly squat.
Spent money more like it, what with their ever-increasing costs of advertising and all that bullshit.
I have made money with Youtube though. That's a platform I work reasonably well on but by jeez it's hard work. And that's with people making some of the videos for me.
My Big Challenge (to myself)
So I'm setting myself a challenge.
For a while now I've been wanting to buy cryptocurrency, but with one thing and another (usually fucking facebook advertising costs), I never seem to have the spare spondulas to invest.
Until I discovered Steemit.
I'm going to use Steemit to help me increase my bank account (wallet) and use it to buy all my cryptocurrency. It will be my exclusive income source for digital currency.
Now does that sound like a plan or what?
My mission is to provide as much good quality content on here as I can, as often as I can, in order to help people in any way I can.
I'm devoting myself to learning everything I can about cryptocurrency, blockchain, augmented reality and gamification (especially gamification - I'm really getting into that) and if there's any way I can help you learn it too, the please let me know.
And if there's anything you can teach me about all that, then I'm all ears.
I already know a fair bit, but it's an ignorant person who thinks they know everything. What's that saying by whatsisname? (you know the guy)
"The minute you know everything, you know nothing"
So who's with me on the "Great Bitcoin Challenge"?
Who else is going to fund their entire cryptocurrency portfolio by posting good quality content here on Steemit?
What are your own challenges? Let's here 'em

P.S. I did have to buy my first bitcoin with sheckels from my normal bank account. In case you're interested, I used these guys, Independent Reserve, because they only charge a 0.05% fee (beats 3%-6% from credit card mobs. And they do EFT)
Vote and/or share if you got 'em
