Blogging Everyday for Steemit

It was October of 2017 when I first came to know about Steemit with the persistence of @long888 and @g10a. They are both my friends from bitLanders, a site which used to pay BTC, it is like Steemit, a social media which allows members to write blogs, upload videos, and microblogs. I have been writing there for more than four years now.

To be honest, the reason behind why I came here was because of the amount earned in each blog here. See, in bitLanders, I would be earning around 5$-10$ a day, then as sir @long888 told us about earning those whooping amounts of $10-50$ in a single post as well as there's no post limit in a day, I somehow got curious and soon enough, signed myself up for the site.

At first, I thought I should post travel stories here as well because that's what I usually post in bitLanders, I had been to different parts of the country, the Philippines and loves to feature the places, resorts, beaches may it be public or private ones, restaurants and a lot more.

But the Steemit ocean is vast and confusing for a newbie like me, I am super thankful to those who helped me, educated me and guided me throughout the six months journey here. Today, I feel like I am somehow knowledgeable about the platform, although there are still a lot of things that are confusing, at least I already have ideas on how the system and the blockchain works.

Also, one of my goals before was getting "curied". With my travel and art posts, I was curied for a couple of times, those were uplifting moments. True enough, we don't get good earnings in some days but when I got curied, it feels really encouraging and it felt rewarding that someone gave me a huge upvote because of this topic I posted, it makes me want to create more! I am 100 % sure that's how everyone else feels every single time!

I even brought here into the platform my brother, sister in law, some friends and especially, my husband @panoramicview.

But due to the fact that I have been posting random things on my timeline, I decided to create a sole page for our travel diaries in @steemspots.

One thing is for sure, I will continue blogging on both platform because I love writing, I love to share my passion and I love to promote my country, the Philippines and as long as I still have something running in my mind, I will blog them all.

And this leads me to my goal which is to increase my Voting Power.

Whilst I know it would take me months and perhaps years to increase it, I know for sure that it will with consistency and hard work. Currently, my Steem Power is 700.170 Steem with a delegation from @blocktrades of 910.155 Steem. It took me a lot of courage to keep my SBD earnings, buy Steem and power up. But I am glad to see value in my upvotes and so I can help other Steemians especially my kababayans!

But don't get me wrong, I also have made cash outs before. For my entire stay, I had only cashed out three times. The first time was when SBD was at its peak, it reached $13-15, I cashed out some SBDs just so I can have a proof for my relatives to be encourageed and join, then on January 2018, I again cashed out for some reasons which I can't remember, then I stopped until just last week, I cashed out a total amount of Php 25,000 because my husband and I felt like we need to also enjoy what we are earning here together and we have this photography gear that we want to buy, stay tuned for that in the near future!

So that's it, just cashed out three times but powered up multiple times! I hope to continue what I am doing and inspire others as well to invest in their account.
