My first real post was a success and I would like to share the story.

Fellow steemers !

My experiment on Steemit was a success. I earned $2,184.74

The posts automatically last only 24 hours. If many people like them and upvote then they extend an additional 12 hours for a total run of 36 hours. Which mine did.

Once the post run-time is finished the post was automatically moved out of the 5 categories it was tagged in and placed in my blog page. It is still available for viewing and people can still vote on it, you can find it on my blog page. This is a necessary function of the fairness and democratic operations of this amazing website!!! How awesome is this!?!

This test was primarily undertaken to review the marketing viability of my project to the public, to see if everyone liked the concept and content. From the responses at the bottom of the post which are permanent, I would think the answer is a resounding yes.

More to come from this experiment later. Suffice to say I have established a presence and become part of the community on the most powerful cutting edge - platform/community in this new and very exciting cryptocurrency-based content-support market.

I have taken the funds, held some as steem cryptocurrency and transferred the rest onto a cryptocurrency exchange called Poloniex where I am holding steem dollars (SBD) and watching the various cryptocurrencies valuation. The current SBD will increase in value or at any time I can transfer these to bitcoin or any of a number of other currencies.

This is absolutely cool!!!Thank you to the 217 steemers that upvoted me and even to the 2 that downvoted it...I sort of would like to know why but it really does not matter.

Please continue to enjoy my blog and I would love to continue building support for my project from the steemit community. I am a now a firm believer and strong advocate for steemit.

More to follow.

Thanks churdtzu... I am very moved by the response from the community towards the project. This was a real world test to discover the ground-truth to the viability of my project. But more on that later!

I am posting this particular post because I want to help others understand the process as it is not so very clear on how to do this.

Hello @skypilot, welcome to steemit! I had no time to post a comment before, but when you get back to [steemit.chat](https://steemit.chat) you get an idea why ;-)
I'm looking forward for your posts.
Good luck!

PS
I encourage all of you to take a look from time to time at #introduceyourself category. Not at the top stories. Look at those that are earning a $0 or a bit less. Sometimes you might be really surprised about your findings.

I'm glad you are having a good time and have had a positive experience.

 Sadly a lot of great posts tend to get missed and the way I found your post was because some other Steemers were discussing it as a missed gem in the chat.

I decided to check it out and I'm glad I did.  

The photos were great but what really blew me away was that video you posted.  

I have never seen anything of that artistic quality in a video (except for BBC documentaries).  It is really amazing.

Thank you for sharing.

I am very glad you helped out as you did. I plan on posting more videos as the project progresses. I wish that Steemit would support embedding Vimeo so I could post them directly here! 

Thanks for your support!
