THE TALK: My STEEM Family is So Much Fun!! - Convincing People to Just Quit their Job!

in africa •  7 years ago  (edited)

THE TALK


Usually goes something like this:

I don't have to work, but I enjoy my steem family so much, I work hard with it every day...

I like convincing people I will be there to support, so just Quit your Day Job! Peer pressure for those individuals that decide they are the masters of their own destiny can be difficult.


Think about revenue streams, yes?
  1. Your own blog

  2. Your new videos on DLive

  3. Your own fashion apparel designs

  4. Your guest appearances on @wafrica blog, drive readers back to your own blog

I will research how to order and sell in Nigeria, Clothing and Fashion designs online, paid for with STEEM!

You can help me with it, yes?

A New Era of Business, based on crypto ordering.. No credit cards necessary!

I have programmers to help me, I need Models, Fashion Designers, and Advertising.

@surfyogi Fashions, by @wafrica

  • You can have your own designs
  • Work with @jacobite and other great graphic artists on your ideas
  • Automated ordering and stock
  • Auppliers and artists accept your SBD for payment

Hey, you HATE your job!
I'm not asking you to JUMP off a Bridge!

Quit.
Work with us.
U can always get another job, based on dieing paradigms..

We are Family, we support each other, it's a new way of life, be brave.

WE R FAMILY!

How would you like to be "on the ground in Lagos" and report for wafrica?

Tell us about the bank that just burned, and how it might be a smoke screen to loot the treasury under the noses of the people of Nigeria?!

Nigerians will have to deal with a lot of problems with the government this year I predict; and we have a new way to report to the world what is happening.

When I came on Steemit some months ago and abandoned every other thing, I didn't know that I'll find something to give me so much sense of purpose on the Steem blockchain. I am really glad to have met surfyogi and the amazing WAfrica team on this Steemit blockchain.

Don't be troubled guys, I'm not gonna sink this ship. Why? Cause I got the best team in the world. Thank you all for letting me do this. Greater heights we'll attain.

You are truly becoming an inspiration @lordjames . You are just three days older than me here on steemit and now have become the director of a great community. You are talented.

When I concentrated on commenting in other's blog in my initial days, your comments used to outpower that of mine. I used to comment a lot in tarazkp's blog where you were a frequent visitor too. The name 'MrComment' suits you well. I would say @lordjames is a person having high observatory skills. Wishing you and #Wafrica a great success. It is so amazing to see people like @surfyogi helping others a lot while many others keep on engaging in 'Reward pool rape'

Thank you my friend. You are doing really great yourself and I keep saying you'll be the first person I'll see whenever I visit India.

Yes, @tarazkp is a great guy with a lot of brain power. I enjoyed reading a lot of his thoughts, I love his courage in speaking out where he thinks things aren't going right.

#WAfrica is our project, together we'll build it over the Sky. Thank you my friend.

Upvoted ur comments and i upvoted and resteemed @surfyogi ;s post here

Such amaziing people we have on steem, we need to do a video documentary series! We need PROFESIONAl documentary crew to come make the video production, we can't all be making documentaries, we ned to have a professional crew come make a REAL documentary OR find aspiring steem artists who want to make somethging, honestly even if you are not proifessional as long as you have extreme burning passion to want to make a video production look professional, then youc an make something look incredible using nothing but cheap smartphone videos

Firstly I’m gonna say I agree to this STEEM Family is So Much Fun!! - Convincing People to Just Quit their Job!
I’m gonna say a big thank you to the wafrica team for the awesome job they are doing . You guys rock. Thanks so much for the support now and always

Thank's for your advice @surfyogi sir.This will help me to do better at steemit.I like your idea of doing business in nygeria.If steem is used as a payment method then it will make a revolution and it can be spread all over the world.It will be very positive for steem.A big thank's to you @surfyogi sir.

As long as the price of steem is high, this seems like a no brainer?
So is there anybody else doing SBD/STEEM sales on a web site?

I don't have any idea about that.But i have a plan,when steemit will spread well in our country then i will try to do something like that in our country.STEEM or SBD will be the payment method.Thank's to @surfyogi sir for your reply.

Which country are you from?

I am from Bangladesh.

Very looking wafrica photography post... I love steemit.. Thanks for sharing @surfyogi..I have interest in your fashion line... I'm ready to help in any possible way...advertisement precisely or any other area you may deem it fit to fix me...
best of luck.. Upvote and resteemit..

Thank you sir

Wow! That's very unusual. The spirit, focus, and hard work that everyone needs to emulate.

It's fun to read and enjoy a cool photo of your family, sir! A very high fighting spirit definitely gets great results.

It's high time I became my own boss.

#wafrica-rocks
#surfyogi-rocks

This is amazing...

I humbly apply to be a guest author at the service of @wafrica

Long live @wafrica

Please see @lordjames

OK boss

Hello @surfyogi, I'd like to work for you. I have interest in your fashion line. I'm ready to help in any possible way, advertisement precisely or any other area you may deem it fit to fix me.

Also, I can work for @wafrica. I'm here to serve you boss. Kindly fix me somewhere. God bless in advance

Wow you got such a good plan for Africans especially Nigeria. Wafrica has helped to promote and reward Authors with good content and love the fact you taking it to the fashion world. You are the New Hope of Africa, yell at us and put us in the right direction. Thanks for the love

Can't Just explain how kind you are to Africa
May God reward your kindness

It's a great initiative. We can use #WAFRICA tag sir..
I would like to participate here. @surfyogi

I vividly remember you telling me when I told you I have a job, that your goal is to make every steemian quit their local jobs. Lol
This is beautiful, I must say. I'm so in this

selling fashion for steemit, looks great! and much more if we can get out of the monopoly of physical currencies, diversify the economy, build a better future, if you have any ideas for Venezuela, I'm willing to support it.

We have open sourced our scripts for communities, please talk to @misrori.
Please consider finding a list of donors and a team of people in VZ that can host a local community.
Open an account on Steemit, it can be converted to a Steemit Community account when the feature is rolled out with HF20 later this year.
Follow @wafrica and use our template, find artists to contribute for cover art and logos.
Any other nation or area of the globe can use our same code and examples and do much the same!

Sounds great, I'll really get in touch! thank you very much for your reply

I'm a Nigerian and Lagos base anywhere in Nigeria, I can sell the clothes, in fact I trust Ibadan steemians

Quit my last place of work and now I am full time into crypto. At least as much time that is left after I enjoy my daily life with books :-)

what can I day, you're an amazing man, a leader with no walls but bridges to connect people at all time, @lordjames is quite the fellow his ability to interact is so amazing and laudable, I'm glad this initiative is really affecting lives, well I want to let the community know that I can be counted on anything that I can do to keep moving the train

greeting from Morocco , north Africa , Thank you very much for all your continued efforts in Africa

Wow... I can bet the team is a force to reckon with...

All hardworking and ready to give their all...

Big ups and shout outs to you all.
Also, congrats @surfyogi for having an amazing team to always have your back....

Great executive team wafrica. I often tag Africa for my post

All good things comes your way, when you make yourself available....
@lordjames a.k.a. Mr commentor this nick name I gave you is making wave for you.
@surf you have so much genius around you...

I have worked with these people and i can second it that their impact to @wafrica and me personally is overwhelming.
Keep it up guys

@surfyogi you have the best eyes for picking out the best

I am very happy this is coming just atbthe time I wish to quit my job and focus on steemit as steemit has given me far more than I have gotten from my job.

Funny enough I got speaking with @lordjames recently and he told me he walorks for you and I was so interested and told him I wanted to work for you as well but he had no say. So I guess this is my opportunity .

I want to dedicate myself to the building of steemit and your project . How do I go about this? Really wana work for you.

I love this project and what you guys have done with it...wana be part of this movement . If there is a discord group, I wana join pls.

This is our discord server. We hope that you will join the WAFRO party this Sunday. See you there

I still remember very well when @wafrica came onboard and I am not surprised by the level of growth, impact and progress they've made so far, because they have an excellent team.

I don't know how @surfyogi managed to come about with such a perfect team of excellent and talented curators, the placing @lordjames as the director only reflects that you're a man of deep insight, foresight and wisdom.
That guy is amazing and you just described him so well when you wrote this.....

TRUSTED CONFIDANT

nice this my friend

it's a enjoying moment..
having a nice time..
thanks for sharing such great moment..
love you @surfyogi
loves to all @african

But steemit really requires more dedication to achieve and as a minnow, it's really not easy to get up easily unless you have probably a booster somehow? Well, there are still that are helping others. :)

great job dear @surfyogi
it's an enjoying moment..
I appreciate it..
thanks for sharing with us..
love you @surfyogi
love you all @african

Yes sir... cz steemit is one kind of job... which make you feel great, interesting... here anyone can show their talent & can earn money easily... so, it's seriously obvious to quit their job.☺
Sir if you free plz visit my photography in my blog once... thanks in advance ☺

Your idea of a business based on crypto ordering is great. It will also promote the steemit platform in Nigeria.

Yeah,,"we are as like as Family"
Let's have a nice day and enjoy,,!!
Video is so good,,i like this song..thanks for sharing,@surfyogi
@upvoted

You are an inspiration, and this came up right on time. I am about to begin a new adventure. I am going to be an editor for a steem-supported crypto magazine.

And I could not be happier. :)

Steemit is life to be short and simple

Sounds exciting. I wouldn't wonder if in five years you are Nigerias richest - well, Steem richest - man. I better follow you now:-)

Yikes! Don't get people to quit their jobs. This business (Steemit) and modeling, isn't for everyone! Good luck with your ventures though, otherwise...

Hello friend that good that this back with this magnificent post extraordinary what they do are all a great family you see the love that there is for the work together greetings and success

Though I'm not from W Africa but I still wanna be on the team. I have been on steemit for more than two months and I still don't have feel of a team here. I think every person of for himself here, only I know a couple or more of people from my state . I would really appreciate. Thank you cheers

The cap truly fits you all. It's been amazing working with you.

Thanks @Surfyogi for bringing the best minds together.
You rock!!!

thank so much for this information...i want to trai this job...

I feel so lucky to have found Steemit early. I quit my job more than 3 years ago when Facebook helped me spread my art all around the world. But then Facebook changed and it was hard to reach people. So I looked for alternatives and a friend told me about Steemit. Now I try to tell all my artist and musician friends about how amazing it is! Slowly the people I meet on here are becoming friends

Wow! this is amazing ...... Lovely Photos ................
Thanks for share
