Questions Answered!

What works best to earn money online working from home in 2018? See what works for me and jump in!

How much income can we make doing Steem full time? Probably to start with zero following not much. Over the course of a year I think almost anyone going all in on Steem can be earning a full time income from Steem.

Who can help us learn how to make a profit on the Internet? Video courses are extremely helpful when learning technical skills. My partners program is the best community I know of for a reasonable cost at $49 a month to learn from people earning $10,000+ a month online at https://jerrybanfield.com/partners/.

Why is getting started so challenging? The mindset of not enough is the single biggest challenge getting started. Work with a mindset of what we have today is enough and everything is possible.

Where are the best opportunities to make money as a self-employed home based business owner and entrepreneur today? Steem by far. Sign up at https://signup.steemit.com/.

When is the time to begin? Now. The main limitation I notice with others is an unwillingness to get started right away. Maybe tomorrow or next week will leave us indefinitely doing a job we do not like until the pain becomes great enough to switch. Start today and go all in for best results! While it took me 3 years of working online to make a real full time income, with what I show, you can do it much faster!

Love,
Jerry Banfield

Outstanding information thank you I did not know this yet and will follow up with my own posts about why this is great for Steem AND resteem yours!

​what % does your steem bot payout to delegates, to projects and how much if any is keep for bot maintenance?

Thanks for the information jerry

thank you for the information @ jerrybanfields it's very helpful beginners like me, I really hope to succeed like you in the future.

Wow that incredibly awesome.

Thank you Jerry,
I am a 59 year old woman. All this information you so graciously laid out... is very new and a foriegn concept to me. However, I hope to make it my mission to comprehend all of it and apply it.

I truly hope...and it is my belief, that there must be a niche for people like me, and for all the other technologies challenged; whom fall between the cross over generations; on all these platforms you mentioned.

It is my hope that all my deverse life time of experiences, which I can share publically
will be of some small or even better yet of a significant value to a younger generation as well.

As so many like myself, that are stuck on a fixed social securty income and physically disabled, year after year our monthly nut does not keep pace with the cost if living. I am in an ever increasing need to to find creative ways where I can
work part time, online, and from my home; in order to augment my monthly income.

As most people are aware, the economy is putting ever increasing pressure on retires such as myself.

Buying this information is impossible for a majority of people in my same income and expenses level.

Please continue with your open heart aproach. It is vasley appreciated :)
Always with Love, Light, and Highest Fibrations, may the Creator of the Universe grant us Abundances and to share it with others.
Remember to Laugh daily.

Just about to start the stream now!

Lets get that paper for 2018!

Thanks for the share Jerry Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrry!

hey mr jerry this is very inspiring.. Steemit its geting more powerful. My whole family is in the platform right now.. i hope i can lean from u and win more from home.. thanks

cheers

Wow jerrrrrrrrrtry...!!!
You are a great man. I really inspire you.
I want to be like you...
please help me and gives your good knowledge.

Steemit is the future. Take YouTube for example. It's turned into such a joke platform.

Full steam ahead I say

Sounds nice, but what if you have no steem power bought for 10BTC. Do you think it can be done with no powering up?

Jerry can you summarize the "budget" system you're referring to

Is there a minimum budget? These all seem like 400+ steem

I quit my job last year and hired people to learn about crypto. One of my employees is real good at writing(visible on my steemit profile) but it's really hard to get exposure even with 500 followers. If anyone wants to bother checking it out and upvoting/resteeming anything you find worthy, I'd greatly appreciate it. Jerry, keep on truckin'. Thanks for the inspiration!

hellooo!! yes we can see and hear you!

Reload to get sound!

Yes...sound...thanks !!

Thanks.I have sound now

I think indeed the keypoint is distribution over multiple platforms and give many, take less.. Than eventually it comes your way..

1 year ago i found a course about Steemit from you and now i earn on Steemit around $10 per post

it was helpfull post for all new steemit user..well information...

Totally of topic so excuse me. But part of your vid succes is how they look (besides the content of course) Which software do you use to make those great productions?

Hey @jerrybanfield! How are you, my friend? Thanks for doing this! I’m enjoying it.

Really great post dear Thank you for using your resources wisely to promote Steemit. We all need to do our part by telling everyone we know to try Steemit. Word of mouth is the most powerful advertising network.

What a call to commitment, Someone once said that life is like an echo, what you gives to it, is what comes back to you, I have been following @jerrybanfield, and i have also benefitted from one of his CONTEST, Excuses is a killer potentiallity, I will keep going, I will keep posting and I will keep keeping my faith. Thanks

Thank you for sharing this!

Is there a problem with the stream? :(

I'm on the phone and it doesn't seem to be working.

To put a book on Steem is a great idea. I did started with the story of my life. A chapter once a day or so. But the problem is the following to read and to get exposed. So many posts per minute apears... Any tips?

Your detailed post shows how transparent you have been, and can say this, only few people can do this, kudos to you @jerrybanfield

You are really getting us informed for free in a way. Getting started ain't easy to say the least, I have ventured into business before and it had to fold up. But should i venture into any in the future, your post will definitely comes handily useful. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Jerry
I have been walking around with this question already for a month:

" what is going full in into steemit?"

you say if you go full in you could live from steemit. I know that you are a steemit kind of guy, and have put your money where your mouth is. Going full in means several things. Of course it means to put energy and time into it, the sweat and the tears, but what about the blood? How much to invest in it. Almost everybody on steemit is into cryptocurrencies and has some, me too. what about converting it all to steem and power up? this is what is on my mind. You had the balls to do so, and I find it admirable, because even now, while the platform is doing well and steem has risen in value, there is always an uncertainty if it will do well over time.
And so I am contemplating putting the blood in, and the sweat and the tears, and as you say, procrastination holds most people back. Its the fear of losing it all that holds us, and me back, even though I see your success. How to overcome that fear?

Thank you for this info @jerry, am a fresh college graduate and am just begining to see life in a new perspective...i totally want to switch into online sources of income and so far steemit has been a good platform to build myself on...thanks for reaffirming my mindset.

Thanks for sharing.I think you will succeed in life.We have to learn from those videos and details. @jerrybanfield

Am optimistic that in time to come, I would be able to make money from steemit..

What is your prediction for STEEM in coming months?

Are your marketing expenses including or excluding the costs for promoting Steemit? I assume excluding as you use @budgets for this purpose.

What is your plan B in case Steemit will become a worthless platform without any value?

I hear no sound?
