RE: Introduce Yourself In The Comments... Meet Others and Compare Interests ( Special Thanks to @Whatsup)

in #meetup6 years ago (edited)

Hey guys! My name is Chris Wynn, I applied to steemit originally because it sounded like a super good platform to share some thoughts and make a few extra dollars. Now that I have spent a few days reading welcome posts and introducing myself to a few people I have learned it is so much more than I could have imagined.
The few people I have met so far have been super welcoming and helpful! The last few months that lead me to here have been pretty crazy, I quit my job as a carpenter due to it being rough on the body and decided to attempt and pursue a passive income! Now i'm sure a lot of you can resonate with me when I say "searching making a passive income into google is a total pita". I spent about a month trying to weed through all the "Get rich here" stuff and start finding reliable blogs and videos I could actually trust to maybe point me in the right direction.
Luckily after wasting a fair bit of time doing 30 minute surveys for coins I never even cashed, and burning my brain out trying to catch every bitcoin faucet the world has to offer, I landed here on steemit a few days ago. The search is finally over and I feel like I have finally found a community that rewards you for your hard work and effort. I am super excited to be here and am so glad I get to grow with this wonderful platform! :)

Welcome man! It is definitely a grind here, but if you are willing to put in the work then you can be rewarded in the future. My father was a carpenter as well so I'm all too familiar with that line of work. Good luck on your new journey.

I agree @ross-early , it can be intimidating at first when you get started ,but if you just plow everyday at it before you know it you got a nice plump rep, with some influence around here.

I think he should write about being a carpenter what a line of work to be in!

Consistency is key. I will also say it's important for users to post at a rate that doesn't hurt the quality of their content. Set realistic goals for yourself of how many times you want to post a week and start writing!

Well welcome to SteemIt @chrisftwynn . This is the ultimate platform to share some thoughts and make those extra dollars. Def. different then Facebook, Twitter and the such.

Super glad to hear people have been welcoming and supportive! Being a carpenter sounds rough wow! I'd quit it too and just blog for a living now. So what is that you plan to do here on SteemIt ? I'll look through your posts. Thanks for the thoughtful response!

Thanks for the warm welcome! :) I mainly aim to write about vape related materials, I have been a fairly active advocate for vaping in my off time and noticed steemit doesn't have a lot of recent posts on the topic! Hoping to fill a gap while helping people get off those cigarettes!! :) I also plan on taking some photos of my town in the mountains of Canada B.C. and just talking about life from my perspective! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and wish you all the peace, love, and good vibes the world has to offer! Will talk to you again soon :)

Vaper materials will be great to have. Make sure to follow @ganjagirls when they come back. Canada is just beautiful so the pictures you take will be perfect. Glad to have you aboard!

I checked out your page and you should do fine here. Things can be a little slow at first but as long as you produce the best content that you can with the time that you have, you will build a nice little following.

I appreciate that a lot! :) Thanks for the motivation!! :P
