Good day friends and fellow steemians.Welcome to a new week and the second week of the ongoing Steemit Engagement Challenge.This challenge has indeed created a lot of traffic on Steemit because everyone is out for it.The level of engagement has increased massively too and more is yet to come.At this point,I wish to participate in this contest hosted in Steem Entrepreneurs community.Here we go.!!!!

How I got to Know About Steemit

Steemit is a social media and blogging platform that rewards user for creating and publishing original and quality contents on its platform.Its consensus algorithm is proof-of-brain because the best brains with best contents are rewarded.Now to the meat of the matter.

I got to know about Steemit through a friend with username @focusnow -the founder of Steemalive community.

Myself and @focusnow

I actually got to know him through a federal government organized program for newly graduated National Youth Service Corps(NYSC) members.So both us were posted in the same place of primary assignment for the program.We became friends courtesy of that.

Just towards the completion of the program in the year 2020,@focusnow told me about Steemit that it is platform that pays authors for publishing original contents.He said they pay in steem and steem dollar.I was not interested because I was doubting how someone could be payed just for writing.I ignored him.

He kept on telling me about it and i continued to decline.The pestering continued until the end of the program in July,2020 when I now decided to give it a try.I came to his place and he signed me up and showed samples of how to write Introduction post.I went home that very day and made by Introduction post.He was happy and told me that it would pay out in 7days.After 7 days it payed out and I saw the rewards in my wallet and was then convinced.

I made my Achievement 2 and 3 post and then joined the diarygame season 2 then in August 2020.From that time I became very active on Steemit especially in Steemalive community.I also joined the cryptoacademy when it started and now have continued to make progress on Steemit.So @focusnow made me to know about Steemit.

Why I decided to Join

I joined Steemit because @focusnow was a trusted friend and so I believe that he isn't going to pester me to join a fruitless platform.The love for writing and producing original work also made me to consider Steemit.

Another reason for joining was that I wanted to know more about crypto and I felt that Steemit would afford me the opportunity know about crypto and to earn it too.

The third reason why I joined Steemit was that I love to press my phone often and was always on social media,so i felt that Steemit would help me put to good use my love for pressing phone often😃.

How Steem and Steemit has Changed Me for the Better

Steem and Steemit have changed my life for the better through many ways and counting.Let me highlight some of the ways.

Put My Passion Into Good Use
There are things that I love doing of which prominent among them were reading and being busy with my phone.Before joining Steemit,I have always loved to be with my phone as using to catch cruise of Facebook and WhatsApp but none adds money to me.Rather i spend.

So Steemit now made me to channel that same energy that I use on Facebook to write and post on Steemit.I was able to use my passion for reading to read,comment, verify and moderate posts on Steemit up till today.Friend,you can see that I have used my passion in a productive way through Steemit.

Financial Benefits
No I doubt I have benefitted financially through writing and posting on Steemit.Part of the rewards I get on Steemit is been changed to cash through crypto exchanges and so I can use it to solve my financial problems and to help others too.Steemit is not just for learning,it is also for earning and the earnings have benefitted me aplenty.

Assets
I have acquired a lot of assets through rewards from Steemit.I will have to mention just a few here for important reasons.My laptop which i bought last year was purely from Steemit proceeds.I have also renovated my building in the village through proceeds from Steemit and many other projects that I wouldn't like to bring to the public notice.All this never gave me any financial stress as I did all of them comfortably from Steemit rewards.

Friends and Connections
One thing that i have benefitted from Steemit is friends.I have actually made a lot of decent friends both national and international via my stay on Steemit.The number of friends I have made here is numerous and counting.Most important I have learnt a lot from all these friends.I really love joining steemit.Some of the friends I have made on Steemit include but not limited to @ngoenyi @uzoma24 @fredquantum @ebunoluwani @bright-obias @solar-star @whitestallion @ijelady @ninapenda @ruthjoe @sammylove @anasuleidy @udyliciouz @nishadi89 @naddiyaatif @alegnita @crissanch @nadeesew @patience90 @nneoma08 @mvchacin and many others.

Improved my Writing Skills
Ordinarily I was a science man and have dwelled majorly on Mathematics and Physics.These courses are more of calculations and involve little or no lengthy writings.However, joining Steemit made me to dive into lengthy and creative writings.This is a paradigm shift.I have also learnt to apply markdowns which make written work to look neat and attractive to readers.

Kindness/Promotional Activities

Kindness
I have also performed acts of kindness on Steemit by teaching and training new users on how to use Steemit platform.The trainings are done both online(through social media) and in person.

For the person-to-person act of kindness.I have trained plenty of persons at the Steemit training centre in Aba city Nigeria over the past one year.Some of the Steemians in Steemalive community have in one time or other benefitted from my trainings and tutorials.

Promotions

  • Road show:When it comes to promotional activities I have paid my dues.I participated in the steem road show which held sway through last year where we go to strategic places in the city to talk to people and passersby about Steemit and importance of joining.A lot of persons were recruited through the process.
