Steemit's Dark Secret

There is something brewing in the belly of the Steemit community and it is slowly giving Steemonians a thought that society would think crazy. A desire we keep classified. For our eyes only.

With $3 Steem and $8 SBD, there is something possible for many Steemonians that they dare not speak about. Something they deeply desire, but don't fully allow themselves to think about...

Writing on Steemit full-time. Using Steemit to pay all the bills. 

There I said it. Am I alone? We can't tell our friends and colleagues because they just don't understand... yet. Society says we need a job... You can't just make money on the Internet. Crypto is a ponzi-scheme. Most of the people will laugh at me and think I'm playing in the dark web and doing weird things with Bitcoin, so I keep my dark little secret to myself.

For me, it is something that I think about often. Being a full time Steemonian would require at least 8 or so hours a day engaging with people and researching and posting content. 

If the prices stay the way they are, a person that makes a post and receives around $10 on Steemit, they will get about 5 SBD and some SP. The total value is something like $60. If that person was to post 4 blogs a day then they would make around $200 liquid a day. That is $1,400 a week or $5,200 a month. If you take it all out and save $2,000 a month for taxes you could walk away with $3,200 a month. I know that would pay my family's bills. 

That doesn't count the extra money you can make just by giving good thoughtful replies to people. 

Working as a full time Steemonian is a real possibility for a lot of people here. 

I think we need some average full time Steemonians. They will work hard to add to the community because their livelihood will depend on it.  Now, these people are not making a killing and it will be a lot of work, but over time there is real possibility of advancement. 

If the price of Steem and SBD double, then anyone making over $5 on posts could really look at going full time. The possibilities are endless with what one could do with Steemit if they had a little foundation. 

For me, I'm working towards it. The reason this is my little dark secret is because I have not told anyone that I would love to be a full-time Steemonian. I'm not going to beg for votes and ask whales to support. I'm just going to keep growing organically and keep my little Steemit secret... for now.

Would you go full time on Steem and quit your job if you could?
