Before you were introduced to steemit, what digital or physical work did you base your income on?

Before I got to know about Steemit I was working with the MRS which is a clinic owned by the military barracks since I was staying in the barracks along side my father. So after my school I was privilege to join those who are to be trained and after that I was able to start working with the army as well.

It was the work that pays my little bills since my parents too were very supportive. I didn't need much as I was still at home and I eat from home always. So that work I was doing in the MRS always give me the little money to sustain me.

Have you been a victim of online scams? Is steemit a breakthrough?

Yes, I have been a victim of online scam before. When I got to know about an online investment where you will put some money and then earn thereafter, I rushed and joined the program and unknowingly I became a victim because the entire crash immediately I invested.

From that day I vowed never to join anything online again seeing what took place. When I got to meet Steemit I was scared of joining again but since I heard from reliable source that I don't need any investment for it I went ahead to join so it serves as a breakthrough for me.

Do you prefer writing on Steemit for a month in your home to working under someone for a month under duress?

I prefer writing on Steemit for a month than working under anyone for a month. Now let me make the analysis so that you will understand why I have selected this part. As it stands, the money earn on Steemit is far better than what I earn in the work that I'm currently doing.

I earn NGN 20,000 every month for the work I do and my expenses alone carries the entire money and I always source other means to cover the expenses. But here on Steemit I make atleast 30k monthly aside the part that goes to savings. As a writer I get like 3 booming weekly which gives me like 5-7k and if you check that by 4 you will be getting around 28k aside savings.

Has steemit made you a bit independent financially than how you were? If yes or no, how and why? Explain with reasons

Steemit has made me independent because I no longer wait for anyone to give me money instead anytime I need money I go to my wallet if I have some liquid Steem I dont hesitate to transact it and then remove the money I need.

Writing on Steemit helps me to earn daily and most times I earn upto 30 steem every week. So with this I transact and have a little money to settle the different bills I usually need.

Imagine your life without Steemit and tell us in 3 sentences as the concluding part of your post.

If I didn't meet Steemit, what I could have done was to remain in the work I was doing before I came across this very platform. It was a good work for me because I earn and learn since I was able to administer drugs and many others.

Steemit is good but without I could have still forge ahead though it has help me in no small way considering the financial breakthrough and many others.

Alternatively, I could have look for another business or work which will also pay me and invest in it immediately. So those are the few things I could have gone into if I didn't meet Steemit.

I want to invite @josepha, @simonnwigwe, and @bonaventure24, to join the contest in this community and share their entry participation.
