Thank you to @nattybongo and @magcarnie for organizing this contest, this is a very good way to learn from each other mistakes and also emulate the right methods so as to make it on this platform. I have had both good and bad experiences since I joined this platform, and I will like to share some of my encounters on this platform to allow others to learn from my experience.
My experience on Steemit so far
My stay on this platform has been great so far aminst all the ups and downs regarding some expectations not met and the a lot of time it requires. In general, the ability to interact and network with other members and at the same time get rewarded for your contribution to the blockchain make it unique and unlike any other social media. Steemit is the first blockchain to attempt to promote community building through interaction and engagement of the members of the community and members are rewarded base on the content they great. With this objectives, I have always try to give the best of my abilities knowing very well that I am helping to build a community and can be rewarded for what I contribute. This makes my engagement on the platform so serious creating such an engaging experience.
How it has impacted my life
Prior to joining this platform, I had little knowledge about cryptocurrencies and the enormous possibilities and opportunities that it can offer. Upon coming on board, I have been able to discover different options when it comes to investing into my future.
My writing skills has also improve ever since I joined this platform, the constant efforts to create good content by doing a lot of research had increased my writing skills and knowledge on a lot of areas. One important thing about this platform which has impacted me so much is that, it rewards its users base on proof of brain, that is , producing genuine and authentic work, and this has compelled me to read and research a lot anytime I am making a post hence increasing my knowledge and my writing skills.
The earnings I get from creating content has helped cushion me financially, my financial life is getting better day by day ever since I joined this platform. With the introduction of some good initiatives like #club5050 , I think my financial freedom is guaranteed as far as this platform is concern. Because I have made it a point to always save 50% of my earnings inorder to ensure my financial freedom in the future.
my advice to Newbies
I had a lot of disappointments and frustrations at some point in time and I nearly gave up because I was over expectant of upvotes on my contents and will wake up every morning expecting at least $20 on my post 😁. Is good to expect but when it comes to steemit, please don't expect too much, the hard truth is that, you can post three posts in a roll without getting even $0.01 😄. Patience and consistent have kept me going, so let's expect but not too much inorder not to be disappointed.
Let me be quick to add that, steemit is a wonderful platform to learn, you can bring your talent on board for the whole world to enjoy. There are a lot of communities that you can join and learn different aspects of life at all areas, just identify what you can do best and go for it, steemit is a social and smart platform, steem on and have fun 😊.
