How my second post on steemit gained reward of almost 70$

I started with steemit a week ago. On my third day I got a pleasant surprise when I saw that my post had 26 votes and 70$. I talked about giant squids in Atlantic ocean: https://steemit.com/travel/@snowman123/giant-squid-sightings-near-the-shores-of-atlantic-ocean . I'm so happy that I had s great start at steemit like this and I would like to thank all people that support me. I really like steemit and I will recommend it too all my friends. Keep steeming all.
