My steemit journey
My introduction to steemit
I joined steemit in November 2021. My good friend @dayographix introduced me. I heard him discussing it with someone and it caught my interest. I pleaded with him to introduce me to it and he did.
He put me through on how to go about my first ever post on steemit which is my achievement 1 post in the newcomers' community.
I must say, navigating my way around steemit was not easy as I had to take time to understand and learn some concepts. Eventually, I learned and things became easier going forward.
What I have benefited from Steemit
First of all, steemit has helped me become a better writer. My writing skills have improved over time. Without consistency, I have been able to write articles that are of good quality.
I am now good at using markdowns, thanks to steemit. This is a core skill that is very useful to me as a writer.
Steemit also made me realize how unethical it is to plagiarize.
Furthermore, steemit has helped me financially. As a student, I need an extra source of income. Steemit is that extra source of income for me. Steemit helped me settle some school bills. Thanks to steemit, I was able to buy some textbooks and materials I needed for school.
I have also learnt how to use several steemit tools. These tools are amazing.
What I hope to achieve on steemit
I hope to achieve dolphin status someday. I see a lot of people celebrate achieving dolphin status and I admire them. I know it took them consistency and a lot of hard work to achieve. I intend to put in the work to achieve that status for a start.
I also hope to become a community moderator someday. It is a gradual process but I am getting there. I know I have to achieve some level of growth on the platform to achieve this and I am ready to do what it takes. Of course, I know I have to continuously put out quality content and engage with the post of others on steemit.
Conclusion
Steemit has contributed so much to my life and I will never forget the day I joined the platform. As you get higher and better on steemit, you discover how amazing the platform is. I look forward to a better steemit ecosystem.
