My Steem Journey
https://youtu.be/WdCaffDu4EM

After **four months of steeming**, I better understand how to earn Steem and navigate on the platform. I have concentrated on publishing quality content and have written many poems and short stories. The highest amount that I have earned on a single post was $24.57 when @curie upvoted one of my stories written for a contest hosted by @thewritersblock. 

Several months ago I joined the curation trail of @trevonjb, a group of Steemians who exchange upvotes for quality content. 

Increasing my Steem amount gave me more SP (Steem Power) to upvote good content and to delegate a small amount to @actifit to earn additional tokens for walking and delegation.

At the time of this publishing, I have 304 followers and I also follow people who’s content I love, like @jluvs2fly, @negativer and @whatsup. I love finding hidden gems on the platform like @beatking13 who is so creative and talented or exquisite artwork produced by @midlet that will just blow you away. Writing 50-word short stories from word prompts created by @jayna connected me to a community of creative fiction writers.

Several of the dApps that I have used the most are: Steemit, Steempeak, Busy, Partiko and Actifit. Discord has helped me to network behind the scenes, develop relationships and understand the functionality of the platform.

I am grateful that @midlet took time to walk me through the process of completing transactions through @blocktrades and shared tips for increasing my SP. 

I am still excited about the potential of Steem and in the video below, @indigoocean helped me understand Steem’s value as a cryptocurrency.

Everyday I learn a little bit more about cryptocurrencies and I am grateful that @jluvs2fly invited me to join the community. I have enjoyed engaging with so many creative and gifted Steemians as I journey through the world of Steem.

@jayna ·
Wow, @pyemoney, you have only been on the platform for four months? That blows me away! I really enjoyed this post and hearing about all of your involvements. That is really what makes it all work, I believe: finding great communities to be a part of, as well as great content creators and mentors. It’s a lot to master (especially for crazy busy people), but it does ultimately pay off. I will check out the video and some of the other Steemians and resources you talked about. Oh, and thank you so much for the mention!

Hi, @jayna. Thank you for the reblog.  I haven’t written in the short stories in a while but will do so soon.  Yes it has been four months but it seems like it has been longer.  Blogging can get very time-consuming.

I actually got the idea from you when I read some of the older blogs that you had posted.  It is a long tedious process trying to grow your account, reputation score and post quality content everyday.  But part of the joy of the journey is meeting people like @whatsup.

It's awesome to see that you've found your way here so well. I can't wait until things are easier so more people will be able to come and get in on the fun, but everyone who is making it now without it being easy will be rewarded once things are more mature.
