The important event in our life is always celebrated once in a year, like birthday and anniversary which will take 365 days to engage.
But I can't no longer wait for 365 days to celebrate my journey here in Steemit, because today is my 100 amazing days in here.
Looking back more than a hundred days, a very enthusiastic good friend of mine, @meetmysuperego never stops persuading me to sign up in this online blogging-crypto thingy that I have no interest at all, haha! Thanks for being persistent, I owe you! 😘
Being a newbie is a real struggle, in my introductory post I only got 0.03. 😂😂
But I was overwhelmed by the warm welcome, good vibes and encouraging words from fellow Steemians.
Days passes by and cents are still my earnings, until I found the #dailyfoodphotography contest of @howtostartablog while Im reading some blogs.
Which I received my very 1st reward (.500steem) in my very 1st entry in the contest, in my 1st week here.
Above photo got the prize 🤗, I am one of the 3 chosen winners. Since then, I was motivated everyday to post and to join in the daily contest.
Thank you @howtostartablog for initiating your contest and for always patronizing my craft.
Also, I won't forget the very first time when @surpassingoogle and @bayanihan trail noticed my blog and since then, each day they upvoted my post.
Thank you very much for the support and generosity, without you Im not gonna have a decent earnings. 🤗🤗
My travel blog "Time Travel in Intramuros" was recognized by @ocd and nominated in the daily top 10, also belonged in the honorable mention in @steemitworldmap both for the first time.
"Matcha Ice cream", was also my 1st winning piece in the famous @juliank's @photocontests.
Another travel blog I posted was my "Solo flight" in Leyte which was my highest earned post so far.
As you can see, I am not having much but not bad for a noob like me.
Enough to have my very first cash pay-out converted in my local peso currency: 5,000.00 Php.
Interesting and overwhelming to lay in my hand the fruit of my labor.
It was early Christmas season when SBD hit the peak, luckily I still have some in my savings and able to exchange for the rate of 12 USD = 1SBD.
Much to buy some Christmas gift for my family and little shopping for my self, haha!
And...
Booked a decent accommodation amounting 3,624.60/night in our December travel in Manila with @meetmysuperego and @youngblogger24 with some other friends as our get together. 😊
Last January 11, 2018 I purchased a new phone, the Samsung Note 8. Thought, its an installment plan I was able to pay for the 25% of the total price all from my Steemit earnings. 🤗
Never regret in having it, all-in one gadget in my hand. Very reliable and useful specially in my steeming stuff like this.
If you could notice my profile I am joining in many photography contests in here. 1st because photography is my hobby and 2nd its easy to participate in such contests and prizes are also great, which become also a very big part of my journey here in building my account.
In @brumest's #monomad daily challenge, I won few times with 1.000steem prize.
@darthnava weekly themed contest is also great in giving away 5sbd per winning entry.
As well as, the generous @asbonclz promoting steem engagement food photography contest is amazing with 5 winners each round,rewarded by 1sbd each and some consolation prizes.
Luckily, I won 3 consecutives in a row and invited to be the guess judge in his contest. Oh by the way, if you want to join you can visit here.
To sum it up, I am just all other newbies that faces ups and downs in here. There are times I almost discourage when my post are not being recognize and earned only cents or worse 0.00.
Sometimes being confused on what should be the so called "quality content post" to gain high upvotes and be notice by the whales because I saw some effortless blog but gained alot.
Its my 100 days... I dont have a thousand followers nor a thousand steem even not a thousand dollars in my account but I gained more than I thousand knowledge, interact and be friends from other side of the world greater than a thousand earnings and hoping that this amazing platform will leave over a thousand year to be a legend and inherited by the new generations! Long live Steemit! 🤗♥️
So...as my way of saying thank you to this platform Im giving away .100 steem (it is not much but it could help in some ways) for every "interesting comments" in the comment section bellow.
Interesting which means something that has sense, "nice", "good post", "please follow me" and the likes are not interesting for me, haha!
Immediately after I red your comments, .100steem will be transferred to your account.
I will do the giveaways for a week or for the 1st 100 user that will post their comments.
Another way of extending my gratitude to the community is initiating my very 1st contest.
In connection with the interesting comments, you may join this contest in writing down your comments not less than 50 words.
You can put what ever you wanna say or share, maybe related to your 100days journey here as well, or something that will help to encourage other Steemians, or perhaps your amazing experience or anything interesting or good vibes.
Upvote and resteem are not required but I will appreciate in doing the act, so that more Steemians can see and join as well as it will increase the prize.
I will choose 7 users with interesting comments that will each receive 1 SBD immediately after payout. Plus the automatic .100steem giveaway for writting down your comments.
But winners and rewards will increase depending on the post payout. Contest will end after 7days.
Hope to hear some nice and interesting comments from you guys! 🤗🤗
Happy Monday and Steem on! 😉😘
This contest is so nice, thank you! I enjoyed reading your post and it's a great idea for when I reach 100 days old too! :)
As someone who is only 40 days old on Steemit, I am fighting discouragement. Not because I'm not making money (I don't expect that to happen overnight!) it's just that I'm having trouble finding my way around the platform or even finding interesting content. I randomly found your post here by sheer luck and will follow for inspiration! Upvoted and following!
If I somehow win your contest, could I please ask that it go to my wife @suitcasemama instead? She's your KABABYAN and even newer to Steemit than I am. I convinced her to join and I think she's doing some great beginning posts so I don't want her to lose motivation! :)
Hello @starthere, thank you for your interesting comments.
Upon reading it makes me smile and brought a morning good vibes. 😊 Regarding with your request, hmm... why dont you ask your wife also to join here or just leave a short comment after all no one loses here.
And by the way, I followed the both of you. Nice to see couples doing the same thing with passion. @suitcasemama is an amazing photographer!
Here is my simple reward for you.
Hey Kababayan!!!
Thanks!!! I looked around and it seems like you and me have the same passion,photography. Like you I also have a new Samsung Note 8, how is it going for you?
Hi @suitcasemama, thank you for your interesting comments.
Kumusta kababayan? Im glad to see more Pinoys around here 🤗. Your photos are amazing and you're very talented. You'll gonna get more fortune with that, there are lots of photo contest here,you must join!
Note8? What can I ask for? Haha! Very reliable, all in one in my hand.😊
Here is my simple giveaway for you.
Hey kababayan!!
Maraming salamat!!! You are so nice in doing this! I love this "pay it forward" thing that you are doing. Thanks for inspiring me to join contests and for sharing your experiences. Really appreciate it. Keep it up!!
Aw, thank you so much! Your generosity is inspiring! My goal now is to have at least 1 Steem by my 100 days so I can give it back too :) Also, I told my wife @suitcasemama to follow you as well :)
You're welcome! That's so nice and good luck to your goal.
Thanks also for letting her know...
Done rewarding her too. 😊
Thank you so much! And thank you for the kindness and encouragement, they came at a critical time and now my wife and I are both more motivated to keep going! :)
Not a problem 😊 Good luck to all of us! 😊
Your journey has been very interesting.
I have learnt that consistency is the key on Steemit.
Upon joining, my first few weeks were miserable.
Even now, I still get terrible payouts sometimes but I realize I have to stop thinking about the earnings and just write for the fun.
After all, for years and years, we've been putting up posts on Facebook without expecting anything.
Congratulations on your achievements so far and on your beautiful phone. 🥂
Hopefully, one day, I'll be putting up my own new phone 😊
Hello @the.chiomz, thank you for your interesting comments.
Good to hear your learnings and experience. Hard work and perseverance always lead to success. 😊 Good luck to your goals.
For now let me share you my little reward.
Congratulations for@bluesapphire06 has run smoothly its contest.thank you
Hi @mimam, thank you for your interesting comments. 😊
Here is my give away for you.
Thank you friend ,succes for you.
You're welcome. 😊
Wow, you so nice. Your introduction photo is gorgeous.
As people say
"We should help talented people because the untalented will achieve anything"
I see so many shitty posts with huge payouts, and many great posts with 0.01$. Those who make good posts "pay" for those who only use this platform for money making - and comunity don't want to change it.
Hello @doelist, thank you for your interesting comments. Im glad you notice my post, thanks also for appreciating my introduction photo and giving insights. 😊😊
Here is your reward, you're the 1st one.
WOW, you are the best. ))
😊😊😊
If we look at life as a journey than we can also observe and participation in the game called "steemit" as a journey. The goal of each journey is different for each person. For most people, the main goal is money, for some success (whatever this could mean), while for rare people the main goal is traveling. Are you happy on this journey, do you get new experiences, good or bad? Have you learned something new and how all this together can make you a better person. Everything else will come by itself in own time. Every hard work and efforts don't stay without reward!
Hi @biti, good morning! Thank you for your interesting comments.
You're right, each journey is different from one another.
Here is my simple giveaway, you're the 2nd one.
Thank you for your generosity, I appreciate it! Usually those who are generous have a very large and open heart for others. It's a feature that I really respect in people, because they are not selfish, and they really care for others! Thank you :)
You're very much welcome.
