I joined Steemit 25 days ago. I was just re-reading my first post here.... what a noob. I had no bloody idea what I was doing or getting in to, at the time. I watched a video by this user @jerrybanfield who brought me to Steemit through his YouTube Video. Apparently he's is a Big Deal here on Steemit, as I have commented and upvoted his post to thank him, but never have I received a reply from him. I guess that is what happens with big users. Never-the-Less, It bought me here!
Since then, I have invested personal funds in to my Steemit Account (and posted about it) I've researched what blogging is about (and posted about it) I've researched how to be active upvoting & commenting on Steemit and done that with some random success. I've looked in to other coins & trading platforms (and I have bought 3) and blogged about one of them. Note: Open Disclosure - I am down like 58% in the 1st Coin! So - that first one was kinda an early jump but I am doing what they say and HODL on it.
I also made a food video that sucked but at least it was an honest one. I have begun noob mining (and continue to) ... this is my first attempt and it kinda rates with the Faucets I use for Doge, LTC & Clams. It works, the pay out is tiny and I think the only real money is in the referral links. (I won't post them today) I will give you this photo as an update to my "Mining Progress"
I want to thank everyonewho has followed me, upvoted or commented on my posts over these past 25 Days Thank You! I did a quick calculation and to-date I have earned $12.63 USD in funds posting here on Steemit!!! Please understand, to some that may seem or thought of as chicken feed (If I had a chicken, I'd feed him ha,ha) To me, I've never been paid .01 US Cent by anyone for what I have ever written. (Gosh, for an old man I am almost teary) You all are the best and I hope I can do more here in the future. An old dog can learn new things. Watch & Learn I say, and in saying that I am going to end this post with something I would recommend watching. I don't want to put stupid stuff in front of my followers, this merits a watch. I learned about Exodus wallet from watching this, and more about investing (it is simple terminology) and I want to say thank you to the Steemit user @saddington who created it. I am going to follow him tonight.
Love, Peace & Hair Grease! Joe Dirt Out!
