Hey guys! My name is Chris Wynn, I applied to steemit originally because it sounded like a super good platform to share some thoughts and make a few extra dollars. Now that I have spent a few days reading welcome posts and introducing myself to a few people I have learned it is so much more than I could have imagined.
The few people I have met so far have been super welcoming and helpful! The last few months that lead me to here have been pretty crazy, I quit my job as a carpenter due to it being   rough on the body and decided to attempt and pursue a passive income! Now i'm sure a lot of you can resonate with me when I say "searching making a passive income into google is a total pita". I spent about a month trying to weed through all the "Get rich here" stuff and start finding reliable blogs and videos I could actually trust to maybe point me in the right direction. 
Luckily after wasting a fair bit of time doing 30 minute surveys for coins I never even cashed, and burning my brain out trying to catch every bitcoin faucet the world has to offer, I landed here on steemit a few days ago. The search is finally over and I feel like I have finally found a community that rewards you for your hard work and effort. I am super excited to be here and am so glad I get to grow with this wonderful platform!  :)
