I just got my first payment from Steem: wow, it really works!!
Lately I have managed to accumulate $16.78 STEEM Dollars in my wallet in payments from my more successful 50/50 posts (although I also made a few posts with 100% payout in Steem Power). Today, as I noticed that the current value of SBD was 99% of the USD, I decided to try to withdraw it for the first time. I followed these instructions by @cryptofiend and used the excellent BlockTrades service to transfer SBD from my Steem Wallet to my Bitcoin wallet. The whole operation took less than five minutes and I didn’t even have to register on BlockTrades!
My reaction of incredulity and happiness at the smooth and successful withdrawal of STEEM Dollars
$16.76 STEEM Dollars were converted into 0.02262576 BTC. This amount of bitcoins equals to USD $16.24 at the current price of Bitcoin. So, $16.78 SBD into $16.24 USD – not bad at all!!
If I was feeling enthusiastic about STEEM and Steemit before, now I am a true believer!
Good for you, I can still remember my first time...
One's first time is very special and hardly can be forgotten…
Wait, we are still talking about Steemit, right?
Steemit?
I thought that was her name, no?
hello brother am new add me
Hey!!! You are very good man!! How hour a day you "work" here?
Im a starter and i dont know to much how it work
I am trying to write 3–5 posts every week. Ideally one post a day, Monday to Friday. But it doesn’t always go according to this plan, especially on days when I’m too tired after work or out of ideas. Writing one post usually doesn’t take more than one hour.
And then I am trying to promote my latest post for 24 hours in 2-hours intervals on the relevant channels in Steemit Chat. It doesn’t take more than five minutes at a time. I am being careful not to spam in the chat.
Good luck to you on Steem!
Thank you soo much!
I wish more luck to you,
And i want to be good like you ;)
Thanks for this tip, I will try it, I've not ventured onto Steemit Chat yet.
I'll spend a couple hours daily on steemit, either interacting or working on posts.
Soon, I'll do a post about how I make a post, so keep an eye out for that!
The best!
Спасибо @oleg326756, что делишься своими успехами, это мотивирует.
Мне кажется, что Steemit отличная площадка, только пока не понял кого больше, тех кто хочет заработать или тех кто меняет мир и привычные вещи (соц сети, отношения между людьми в сети и тд). Может ты смог бы написать несколько постов на русском языке о площадке и как все устроено, свои хаки... Заранее спасибо.
Спасибо, что читаете и оставляете комментарии! :) Я рад, что мои посты мотивируют.
Я сам — новичок на Steemit. Сегодня исполнился всего месяц, как я начал осваивать эту платформу. Так что я пока ещё далеко не во всём успел разобраться. Даже white paper не читал. :)
Насчёт постов на русском языке — я пока не уверен, что смогу это осуществить. На английском мне писать привычнее и приятнее, да и аудитория у постов на английском будет значительно больше. Но всё равно спасибо за идею — я подумаю!

Wow, that’s some impressive company of respectable Steemians I somehow ended up among, on that rank list! Thank you for the work you are doing and for honouring my post with your attention.
Nice! It's always a good feeling when you have tangible proof of the rewards from your hard work. Congratulations! Relish the feeling :)
Oh, and just a minor point, it's SBD (STEEM-Backed Dollars) or SD. STD has, well, a different negative connotation ;)
Oh, haha, of course! Thank you for this correction, @jedau! I have now edited my post. (So embarassing!)
And SD has a different negative connotation for me too. (Swedish politics, don’t ask :))
Don't mention it, man! Oh, I didn't know, sorry about that. I guess SBD is a good middle ground :)
that's always good to hear. i'm really excited about the idea of sharing value between each other. glad your experience was straight forward.
Very good post! Thanks for sharing this, it's very interesting! @oleg326756 Followed and voted! You follow me @Sandra16
It really is a special moment when you earn your first steem dollars. :)
Yes, totally! I think that withdrawing my Steem Dollars and converting them into Bitcoin somehow made it more tangible for me. Before, it was hard to grasp what STEEM and Steem Dollars were. Some kind of pretend toy currency, maybe, like the one you use to buy power-ups in mobile games? Now, seeing the number in my Bitcoin wallet, knowing that I can spend it anywhere in the world or convert to some other currency (crypto or fiat) makes it so much more real for me!
Congratulations, I'm happy for you. I just joined this community today, I still have a lot to learn! I hope someday to have that happiness that you have today. Follow and Upvote. Cheers
Thank you so much for your support! I joined only three weeks ago, so just like you I’m a beginner here. Or, in Steem lingo, a minnow. :)
I will be following your path on Steem too and I hope it will be successful!
Glad it worked. I've been using Blocktrades a lot since then and it always works perfectly and fast!
I agree, it’s great. Thank you once again for writing up that great guide on how to use Blocktrades! Without it I probably wouldn’t have dared to convert SBD into BTC. Or I would have gone to Poloniex, but it would be more troublesome and definitely “too technical” for most of the mainstream users of Steemit.
You're welcome:)
Congratulations ! Good luck!
Thank you very much!
