So before joining steemit.com I used Facebook and Twitter for hours a day and this was taking over my life and what was I getting for my time on there? 

**Nothing**

That's right Nothing for all them hours a week spending on facebook.

I am also on youtube too and I spent 6 months on there with pure passion and just like all new users who go there with the thoughts of being a Youtube phenomenon I got about 600 views and 20 followers, and for the hours and hours I spent making videos what did I get for my efforts?

**Nothing**

that's right again nothing for all my hard work and dedication trying to get a following to make some money.

I found Steemit, and this has made me money from day one, not millions of pounds but made money and it was really easy too, I blog about things that I see every from been at work to going out with family, I have posted pictures that I hand drew and entered into competitions were one of my pictures made me $60.

 I started on this platform think that it was fake as why would anyone get paid to post blogs. and I soon became addicted and try to be on here as much as I can, I read posts and if I think they deserve an upvote they get it, I comment on everything I can and not just one-liners copy and pasted to do as many as possible.
I like to give my time to steemit as much as I can. I have joined promos which I think everyone should do one as they are a lot of fun.

Everything original gets paid.

You get paid to post, paid to comment, and paid to upvote. 

You tell me what other site gives you money for writing drawing and taking pictures. 

Thanks for reading
