Self-pity has got to be one of the worst things on earth. And self-pity often works as a spiral, that means, once you jump onto the road of self-pity, it will just take you deeper and deeper into it. So, when someone lose their job, it is easy to start walking the road of self-pity! What is the result? Life is terrible, and we can feel like victims. And being a victim is seldom good. So, why not turn into a victor instead of a victim? To be honest, it is mostly dependent on you and nobody else!
But, what has this got to do with Steem and with the recent Tron integration?
Being proactive - you take control of your life!
If you are currently without a job, don't fall into the negative tendency of self-pity. I can promise you one thing, feeling sorry for yourself will not help you much. Instead, you should follow the advice of Stephen Covey from his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, a legendary book and a very useful book. What is it about? Instead of complaining about the direction of your life, take direction of your life yourself. Be proactive, that means, be active and take control yourself. Don't let the circumstances control you, but you control what is going on.

Blogging on Steemit is one of the best things you can do if you are unemployed!
If you feel sorry for yourself, you often stop acting and turn passive. That is why you should start to blog here on Steemit. Do you know why? To blog, you will need to find something to write about. This will make you read books, it will make you read news, create illustrations, and it will make you creative. Maybe you will find a new passion. No matter what, it will help you set direction for your life, and it will spice up your life while looking for a new job.
And then comes the fun - if you start to blog and publish on Steemit, you will not only learn and be proactive, but you will actually be able to generate some income as well while looking for a new job. I consider this to be a bonus, because if you are unemployed, the most important is to be proactive and to get out of self-pity, but I guess nobody will say no to an extra income if that is possible!
And do you know what, if you blog regularly, you can even add it to your CV. And guess what, if you can write that you have been blogging regularly about sports, or about movies, or about tech topics, about cryptocurrencies and more, then that might actually look very good if you go to an interview someplace where they know how to treasure such knowledge and skills.

How much can you earn on the Steem platform?
If you need money and don't have a job, will you be able to make a living by blogging? It is all a question of relationships, your amount of work, and most importantly, where you live! The latter is crucial. If you live in Norway or in Switzerland, some of the most expensive countries in the world, you will not be able to make a living. But, if you live in poorer countries where you can live from an income of a couple of USD per day, then you can actually get quite well along with Steemit, and the recent Tron integration is helping even more.
Let us say that you write an article and people vote for it. This in itself is worth a lot, and do not forget - you will receive an equal amount of TRON tokens as you will of Steem Power (SP). That is just free money in addition that comes as a bonus. That is absolutely amazing!
But, one should not think that blogging on Steemit is all about the reward you see in the bottom of the article. Do you know why? Steemit has a superb domain rating, meaning that if you write a book review on Steemit, you will have a much higher chance of getting a good search engine ranking position publishing here than you would if you published it on your own domain or some other blogging platform. As a result, you will be able to reach a wider audience, and if you then include affiliate links to places where one can buy books on the topic you write about, or where people can buy the movie, or maybe where they can buy the computer you have just tested, then you can suddenly generate an income far beyond the basic reward you see.
If you like to travel or have been many places, why not write detailed travel logs. If you include some hotel recommendations and affiliate links to booking.com, hotels.com or other similar sites, then you once again have the chance to generate a nice income as visitors come to read your posts.
Do you see what I mean? Blogging on Steemit is about being proactive, and with the recent Tron integration it is even more fun now than ever. The possibilities are giant, so just take your own destiny in your own hands and get started!
