INTRODUCTION
Hello fellow Steemit users all over the world. Hope we are in good shape and ready to keep up with the “Steem on” spirit we came to this platform with. Today I will be talking about how important the Steemit platform is to a student.
Before I start, I would like us to always keep in mind that crypto is the future, for what we see and experience in the crypto world today doesn't amount to anything compared to what is held for us in the future. Looking particularly at the STEEM cryptocurrency and it’s platform, the future is huge for working class, businessmen, side hustlers, and for students.
Who is a student?
A student is simply a learner under an educational institution whose primary aim is to acquire knowledge, skills, or professionalism in a particular field.
According to Wikipedia:
A student is primarily a person enrolled in a school or other educational institution and who is learning with goals of acquiring knowledge, developing professions and achieving employment in a desired field.
In the broader sense, a student is anyone who applies themselves to the intensive intellectual engagement with some matter necessary to master it as part of some practical affair in which such mastery is basic or decisive.
What is the Steemit platform all about?
The Steemit platform is a social media platform which is supported by the Steem blockchain. Here users create contents and post on their blogs which is voted by curation from other users if they find contents interesting. The reward value of a user’s vote from the vote poll depends on the SP of that user’s account. That is to say the SP of an account directly influence it’s voting rewards on a post. Rewards are based on votes from other users on the platform. Rewards are given in the following tokens; STEEM, Steem Power (SP), and Steem Dollar (SBD) with an additional equal amount of Tron (TRX) to every SP rewarded. Steemit in four words can be defined as “blog and earn STEEM”.
05 importance of the Steemit platform to students
1. Steemit as a source of information for students

Steemit is of importance to students and learners as a whole in the sense that it provides information which can be explored from the blog posts made by others. Many creative contents can be seen across the Steemit platform and just by searching a keyword to what a student has doubts in, will bring good results. This platform also has a comment section to every post making it easy for a student to interact with content authors when they find their content interesting and have some doubts. Secondly, all contents from other sources are cited and this helps to redirect a learner on where to grab a complete knowledge on a particular content.
2. Improved writing skills

All users of the Steemit platform are writers. Based on the PoB character of Steemit, every user is given the opportunity to be creative at the least thing they write on their blog.
Continuous writing (commenting and blogging) improves the writing skills of a student as well as typing skills for those using Steemit via desktop and/or laptop. On Steemit students easily learn how to give credit to sources of information used on their blog as well as being able to do markdowns. All these is learned on the Steemit platform via the Newcomers Community in the form of achievement courses. Being an open platform, any user upon seeing the post of another user can make an opinion by commenting and from this feature, students can easily be corrected on grammar errors and wrong spellings at the same time polishing their reading skills.
3. Crypto exposure

Since the Steemit platform is supported by the Steem blockchain, users are expected to learn about crypto currency in order to fully understand the worth of their earnings and how they can manage them upon payments.
There are communities such as the Steemit Crypto Academy where courses are carried out on cryptocurrencies. Attending crypto lessons and doing assignments gives you great potential in understanding the crypto space. The best part of this is that despite learning for free on the Steemit platform, students still get paid by upvotes from course tutors and curator accounts depending on scores on assignment posts. How interesting!! Study crypto and get paid.
4. Socialism
First of all Steemit is a social media platform where people get paid by writing good content on their blogs. A student can use the advantage of Steemit and carry out social activities such as writing poems, writing about an event (diary), football discussion, or any social topic spicing it with their photos or videos just like on Facebook but on Steemit you still get paid for doing that. How impressive, right? Socialize and earn Steem, Steem Power, Steem Dollars, and TRX.
5. Source of income

Steemit can be used as a medium for getting income.
The overall idea based on PoB will enable students to express what they know and have learned from school in the form of blog posts. Contents of such importance will definitely get upvotes by curation and provide the author with enough money for a site hustle. Money made from Steemit can be saved as SP or withdrawn by the student for personal use. Income from Steemit will enable a student to make a good crypto portfolio.
CONCLUSION
The above skills and more are profitable to every individual on the Steemit platform. There are many things a student can benefit from the Steemit platform provided the individual is serious with activities on this platform. It takes hard work and consistency to succeed in whatever we do in this life. Steemit can take you just a few hours in a day and in the long run yields good profits.
As a student I think Steemit is a good place for my fellow students. From Steemit I have gained knowledge on environmental studies
which has added to what I knew before joining this platform. All these comes from taking part in #contests such as the #greendeeds contest. In addition to these benefits, I have also benefitted from the 05 importance mentioned above. In less than two months my account is worth almost 100USD. Steemit is a good place for you just be consistent enough and you will see how successful you can become here. Slowly but surely you will grow from a penny to six figures.
Thanks for reading 🙏
