Hi I joined steemit because I see potential in this SWEET new social media platform. I love money (who doesn't) and saw that this is a way to gain money through posts. But can somebody explain to me where all the money is or how I can get to it?

My step dad told me that this virtual money is a scam and I said no it's not dad look this post made $50 and he just told me fake news

What do I do to my step dad to show him that he is just incorrect?
How do I cash out my post money
How do I even get post money I feel like nobody even reads my posts and they are all from like forty year old guys

I doubt anybody will even read the tags of this post and not even get what I'm talking about.

I just want to make piles of cryptocash by making haha hilarious posts on this platform that sounds a lot like reddit.

I have such funny images to share like this one that make me deserve hundreds

So tl;dr

  • How do I make money
  • Is anybody even reading these posts (prove it leave a comment)
  • Is my step dad right
  • Will this site ever actually be funny
  • Why do people try so hard on shit posts and make like $100 a post I don't get it

Hey @circuscamp,

I actually thought some of your posts were funny, better tags and formatting will help. Aligning texts and images make posts more appealing to read, and maybe use tags like: horror, dark-comedy, writing and the such to make sure your posts get seen more.
