[Introduction] 가입인사 및 G'day everyone! -from Aussie Ssam (오지쌤) in Sydney, Australia

G'day everyone!

I am Aussie Ssam (a.k.a. 오지쌤) based in Sydney, Australia. I am new to Steemit.

For those who do not understand the Korean language at all, as to my nickname '오지쌤' in Korean, '오지' means Aussie (Australian) in English. I simply adopted the pronunciation of the word 'Aussie' and wrote it ('오지') down using the Korean alphabetic script called 'Hangul'.

'쌤'(informal) means 'teacher' in English. 'Ssam' is simply the romanization of the Korean word '쌤'. To get it right, I should have used 'Ssaem', but I decided to go for 'Ssam' in the end (cuz' it sounds better and looks a lot like a real name :D). In a nutshell, my nickname '오지쌤' (Aussie Ssam), literally, means an Australian teacher.

Then, What have I been doing before joining Steemit? What brought me here?

Well, apart from my main job as a legal practitioner to pay the bills (:P), I have been running a small podcast channel to mainly introduce learners of the English language to useful expressions/idioms in English, not to mention sharing & providing info. with regard to Australia. Most of the episodes I have uploaded so far include explanations in both English and Korean. I have been doing this since January 2017 (already more than 150 episodes there). In the future episodes, I am planning to cover new topics such as the laws of Australia, Australian economy, politics, current affairs and etc.

The direct links and how to subscribe to my channel are as below:

1. Please download the app. called '팟빵' (PODBBANG) from either Google Play store or Itunes app store.
2. After installing it, then, type 'Aussie Ssam' or '오지쌤' in the search box
3. Please hit 'subscribe'

However, recently I have realised that many content creators including myself do not get rewarded at all for our precious content. Instead, platforms, in particular, popular ones and only chosen few creators do make a fortune at a minimum cost or Zilch and at the expense of other creators and audiences. I reckon it's somewhat absurd. That pretty much made me start looking for a new platform where I, as a creator, could get properly rewarded for my precious content. 'Steemit' is the one that grabbed my eyes recently.

So although I have yet to fully understand how to make the most out of this new platform 'Steemit', according to a short explanation on how it works, it seems to me that 'Steemit' has the potential to be a good platform where creators, audiences and even advertisers can earn what they deserve. I know that this cannot be achieved by simply one person or a few groups of people, but we all need to put our effort into this. Only through working together on this, I believe we can make 'Steemit' an attractive platform on which a good on-line community can be built and, in that everyone can get proper rewards for their meaningful contribution.

Thanks heaps for reading my somewhat lengthy introduction

You have a good one ahead! :)

Best regards,
Aussie Ssam -오지쌤

안녕하세요. 새롭게 Steemit에 가입한 Aussie Ssam (오지쌤)이라고 합니다.

저는 메인으로 하는 일과는 별개로 현재 호주시드니에서 오지쌤이라는 영어 & 호주관련 Podcast를 운영하고 있습니다.

여러가지로 ITunes의 podcast및 팟빵등의 플랫폼에서 1년넘게 podcast등을 올려보면서 느낀것이. 현재까지의 대부분 (아니 거의다) 크리에이터 플랫폼들이 대부분 플랫폼 소유자들한테 그리고 소수의 유명 크리에이터들만 이득을 보는 구조로 된것에 반감을 사게 되었습니다. 이것때문에 많은 Potential이 있는 크리에이터들이 실제 자신의 능력을 보여주지 못하고 중간에 포기하는경우도 많이 보았습니다.

물론 처음 컨텐츠제작은 현재 본업이 아니라서, 취미로 시작한것이지만, 점점 더 많은 아이디어와 좋은 컨텐츠를 만들기 위한 노력등을 생각하니, 만약 제 컨텐츠가 차별화가 있으면서, 청취자들이나 다른 네티즌한테 도움이 될수 있다면, 그리고 그것에 대한 보상등이 있다면 좀더 컨텐츠제작에 시간을 할애할수 있을것이면 궁극적으로 본업이 바뀔수도 있다는 생각을 했습니다. 그리고 무엇보다도 제가 알고 있는 지식이나 능력으로 제작한 컨텐츠가 다른사람들에게도 도움이 될수 있다는것도 매력적이고요.

상기이유로 인해서 기존 플랫폼과는 다른 새로운 크리에이터 플랫폼을 찾다가 Steemit을 찾게 되었고 우선 크리에이터들뿐만 아니라 독자들 및 컨텐츠를 즐기는 사람들도 혜택이 있는 Steemit이 모두가 win-win할수 있는 플랫폼이 될수도 있다는 생각에 가입을 하게 되었습니다.

부디 많은 크리에이터들 및 독자들이 같이 혜택을 받을수 있는 커뮤너티가 될수 있기를 바라면서 긴글 읽어 주셔서 감사드립니다. :)

You have a good ahead! :)
