It takes time. When I first started it was difficult to wait for the rewards to come in. It takes time to build a following. As soon as you have 1 Steem you can sponsor someone and get your first share. Or you can convert your SBD to Steem. Do you know how to do that?

Ah @themanwithnoname I've realised it takes time ... something I have very little of! But as I learn more, I think I'll progress quicker. I saw a comment somewhere about how to convert SBD to Steem, I'll look it up. Thanks for replying :)

Not sure if you found your answer yet, but I put together a guide if you're interested. https://steemit.com/steemit/@themanwithnoname/converting-sbd-to-steem-guide-for-newbies

Awesome thanks for the link!

Also, because you inspired me to write the tutorial, I used the Steem that I got from converting the SBD to sponsor you for a @steembasicincome membership. You should get the confirmation from them within a day or so.

I hope this helps you on your journey. :)

Oh my gosh I'm amazed at your generosity! @themanwithnoname, you are awesome, and I am humbled. Thank you.

You're welcome! I think you're a great addition to this community and I'm excited to see the heights to which you'll soar. :)
