It is tough to tell whether a secret is real or not. I guess we have to read things with caution. Some are unbelievable but true and some are not.

There were sites that I joined before where I earned some through blogging. One shut down but the other is still going strong. I am not active there anymore. This is the third earning site that I have joined.

Good thing you found steemit. Be interactive and join lots and lots of contests. That is one way to be visible here. Always posts original and good contents.

Cheers and good luck!
