Steemit is fast becoming my go-to social media site. I get a lot of my news from here and I enjoy reading and watching the posts that you all have shared.

It is also a good way for me to earn some money. I am fairly new here (less than a month) and my earnings are all over the place. Some posts earn $40 and some earn 10 cents. But no matter, I still post on a daily basis and I engage with the community as mush as possible.

This engagement has also started to earn me some money as well. In the above screencap, you will see that I earned $8.71 from one comment. That is amazing!

Commenting on posts is part of my engagement with the community. When I post a comment I try to add value to the conversation. I don not just leave, "great post!" and move on. I do my best to share something of value.

The fact that I can be rewarded so handsomely for my comments, makes me want to contribute more. The more we all contribute to the community, the more valuable it will be.
