I will have to go back some years to explain to you why!
I have been blogging on and off since the beginning of 2006. Yep that is almost 13 years!
I did have 2 blogs running. 1 of course with sports betting related content and the other was about me learning Texas Holdem Poker.
The sports betting blog has 261 posts, the poker blog 231 post.

While I did enjoy writing the post, the interaction I did get on both blogs were almost non existent! But still I kept going on. There were more like diaries than blogs!
I wasn’t in it for the money! In those 13 years I have earned €8.52 via google adsense! That’s is around €0.01 per post.

Not only I tried blogging I also did create a twitter account. Also here the main topic was sports betting!
And twitter was a great success! A whopping 29 followers! What about that! If you want to push the count to thirty, here is the link: https://twitter.com/FullCoverBet
I have to admit that the reactions on twitter were much better than expected! I am still using twitter to promote posts on Steem and Scorum!

And then Steem came around

I have been blogging on Steem now for 13 months! The interaction I am getting is mind blowing. I think I can truly say that I did made some friends!
During the dark days (the first month on Steem) just like on blogger the reaction were zip, 0, nothing. You can get the picture I guess.
But I kept going on. For me there was no difference between blogging on Steem or on Blogger.
What makes it easier on Steem is the feed, the interaction with other people and so on!
The things I was capable to achieve in these last 13 months are amazing and are far better than my expectation, which were 0!
I did understand for the start that Steem isn’t a get quick rich scheme! So making money wasn’t my focus! And still isn’t!

It is just a great place to hang out, to read opinions about lots of different things! It is addictive at least for me!
The good thing for me was that I did came from a blog which wasn’t read anyway, which made it easier for me to keep on going regardless of the upvotes or interaction.
I did create the interaction myself on the other blogs I was reading and following! Remember that each genuine comment you write can and must be considered some kind of advertisement for yourself!
Yes, Steem has it a flaws. But still we are all still here aren’t we and we are enjoying ourselves!
Beside that I do think that my blogging skills have improved (a lot)!

Together with some other we did create our own Steem Sports Betting community, which has a very vived and alive discord channel! Glad to be on there! Maybe my greatest achievement here on the Steem Blockchain.
I am still the founder a forum on the internet somewhere which is 10 years old and still going. Also proud on that, but this is different!

We have some many great things going on here! More and more interface to the steem blockchain are used. Everybody has its own favorite. There is always an interface that will suit you! For me at the moment on number 1 is @esteemapp, second is busy.org. But I am also planning to use @partiko or others. You will have to try them to know if its suits you or not!

I only have 2 problem or regrets!

1.   I didn’t discover steem sooner :(
   

2.   I did start playing [Steemmonsters](https://steemmonsters.com/?ref=fullcoverbetting) which is pretty addictive!
   

Blogger blog reactivated

I decided last week that I will also reactivate my blogger blog. Why? It is a place where all things come together. While I am not in it for the money I can try to make a small second income with the blogs on Steem and Scorum!
It is also a great way to promote Steem and Steemmonsters! We can write all the good stuff about Steem here on our Steem blogs, but how genuine will this look if stumbling on a steem page bragging about steem or steemmonsters!
There are a lot of people out there who still are stuck with their regular blogger or wordpress blogs not earning a single dime.
How great would that be if we can some of them to the Steem Blockchain! I can show them that with some persistence you can earn a small cent here!
At the moment my wallet is worth $402. I did write around 600 posts. That is an average earning of $0.67 per post! A post about this outside steem is more valuable because it looks more genuine!

The blog which will be used for this is: http://dremeber-mybets.blogspot.com
Feel free to have a look and suggest some improvements! Because I really suck as frontend designer! If you are there, feel free to click on a adsense link J

How happy are you that you have stumbled on Steem? Would like to hear!
And are trying to do anything to promote it outside Steem?

Cheers,
Peter
