It was never easier to make money blogging than it is now, for sure.... I have a handful of blogs, and I make more there now, but for those who have no blogs, no online reputation and are starting from scratch, there literally isn't a place easier than Steem.
Steem gives you instant returns and gives you RETURNS, something most starting bloggers have to wait months writting every day to get.
Godspeed!
I agree that blogging is a must if you are serious about earning online. I have my own niche blog sites that I plan on linking to the #steemit #ctp so I can reach a larger audience then I have right now. When I learn more about #steem I will be in the right place
