My case is a bit different. I had no idea about steemit. When my friend showed it to me I was skeptical. But I created an account. Then I forgot about it. From the beginning, I had no expectations but also - no motivation. My friend was pushing me for months. Asking, literally, every day when the hell am I going to post something on steemit. He knew that I'm a writer, he knew that I'm a photographer. So basically, he saw a potential in me. I guess. One day he asked me for a favor. He wanted to interview me for his blog. I agreed immediately. That's what friends do, right? Back then I thought I help him but actually, he helped me. That was a breaking ice moment for me. That day I really discovered steemit. I've started to understand and enjoy. I've found an amazing community that is extremely supportive. People that give you a reason and willing to create. I still have no expectations but I have motivation. I still don't earn real money but I want to be consistent.

Thank you, @irreverent-dan. For pushing me, nagging, terrorizing and being an annoying person! ;)
