First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the people behind this platform #steemit and to the Steemit Filipino Community who are my first source of my encouragement and inspiration. To my mentor @davemccoy for continuously teaching me different techniques and strategies. Thank you very much to all of you guys.  

Also, I would like to thank those who read my blogs and helped me to earn. For the following accounts who always upvoted my blog posts and because of you I was able to earn few dollars.

Honestly, before, my mind is full of doubts about this platform (steemit) because I have read many bad feedback on the internet. Saying that this platform is just like another scam website. But, those bad comments about steemit don’t hinder me to try this platform because many Filipino are very active on steemit and they are earning well. I have read some stories that they make steemit as their full-time job and those testimonies convinced me to sign up and give it a shot. 

Here’s my story begin, February 5, 2018 my account application was approved and that day my journey as a steemian began. I have invested 4 to 5 hours a day in steemit for 15 days (that’s a total of 75 working hours, approximately and equivalent to 9 ½  working days). And today, I was able to withdrew  **$13 SBD** equivalent to **PHP 2870.00** in Philippine money. Approximately, I still have around $15 SBD receivables on my account. Not only that, my account’s  **followers and reputation** rapidly grow which are the key entities for this platform. Please see the stats below to give you an idea.

## Here’s my account statistics so far

All stats below are as of February 21, 2018

**Reputation** -  from **25.00**, my reputation is now **44.00**. I think it’s a good progress for 15 days old account. What do you think?

**Voting Power** - **15 SP ( 3.7 + 11.3 SP)**  honestly, I don’t understand this stuff. Is there anyone here that would like to enlighten me, please.

**Followers** - from nothing to **284** followers as of now.
**Posts** - I already have **520** posts (not including this post).

**Withdrawn amount = 13 SBD** equivalent to **PHP 2870.00**

## <center>Also, most of us don’t believe if we don’t see the actual result. I am here to show you my actual withdrawal process using blocktrades and coins.ph.</center>


## Here’s my withdrawal process.

1.Take a look at your wallet and see if there are "rewards" in your Steem Dollars. If there’s amount available please click the dropdown and menu will appear. Second, select the **Transfer**

![step-0.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVfsBSZJppqPPe5J24r3QQSGnpDU7h92GnpHK9oVvky5o/step-0.png)

2.After you hit the transfer button there’s a pop-up window that will appear just like in the photo below.

![step-1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV6QHev4AgJaScr7gDA1mTjBpK6uUeFSzsqpwRSD2Kkdm/step-1.png)
<center>Leave it there for a moment. Use another Google Chrome tab or window or whatever it is.</center>

3.Go to blocktrades.us. The link is this: https://blocktrades.us/. The concept is to convert your Steem Dollars into Bitcoins, so you can cash out the actual money using Coins.ph. **1.png**

4.On the blocktrades.us website, select coin to **Send  to Steem Dollar or SBD**. 

![step-2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc8YGmbmWrDtXrzSptHkZPPJKRxCYYyMCeY1zzWRSEWwy/step-2.png)

5.**Select coin to receive Bitcoin or BTC**

![step-3.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZAq8urADuqcPYvJjXFqhoEiLrpst5tdL7mhQXAu7RXyB/step-3.png)

6.Go to Coins.ph. (I assumed you already made your account.) And click on the Wallet Address icon, refer to the screenshot below.

![step-5.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRRu3VvpMNEEYQSG4UTCBExiM2BQQyW7BTATViG7AwLhJ/step-5.png)

7.After you clicked the Peso Wallet icon this window will popup. And you need to copy the system-generated Peso Wallet Address.

![step-6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXdGjfXde7NumWiUZGtJTyTU48Ffi62inGGxx97ZWr14H/step-6.png)

8.Go back again to Blocktrade.us. In the "your receive address" box, paste in your system-generated Peso Wallet Address that you copied from Coins.ph. Then, click the **Get a new deposit Address** button and choose the **Manual Transfer**. Take note on the **Account name**. And the **Memo**. You will copy and paste these two to Steemit Wallet which is our next step.

9.Go back to your Steemit Wallet Page. Paste the Account name  and the Memo and the amount you are about to withdraw.

![step-8.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQJKYovu2dfj36wj5cdjqVbNptv7uNNTLRojLkEohgrhp/step-8.png)

10.Steemit will need to confirm your password.

11.After the successful transfer you can now see your withdrawal transaction on the transaction history of your account. Like the photo below

![step-10.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXWkbM4UtP5jvea3Pn5cjCXCWJxhmPffdAyfJd83Bxp77/step-10.png)

12.Go back to Coins.ph and they will indicate that you will be receiving money. Wait for a few minutes (around 20 to 40 minutes.)

## <center>That’s all my fellow Steemians. I hope this post can encourage newbies like me that you can really earn on Steemit. And aside from earning money, don’t forget that in this platform, you will be able to gain new friends and know some people with the same passion as you.</center>
