Lifestyle is the interests, opinions and behaviors and behavioural orientations of an individual or group or culture-
Wikipedia. It simply refers to how a person live and what he or she usually do, wearing steem branded shirt on a regular basis and sharing the steem message around with stickers has already become part of my life now. It is something I do on a regular basis, and it has already made me a steem brand ambassador who is very fascinated about sharing the Steem gospel around.

My motivation does not depend only on the reward I get each time I share my steem promo experiences or stories but I really enjoy promoting my brand. Something you enjoy doing eventually becomes a lifestyle. Promoting Steem has become part and parcel of my life now. I always look for an opportunity to give talk about steem to people while in my steem branded shirt.

My Steem Promo Experience
After joining Steemit in 2017, one of the communities that I have really shared so much in terms of personal pictures, activities and resources with is the promosteem community. A lot has been invested into making and founding of the steem blockchain and the Steemit platform, I'm convinced every steemian can also contribute positively to building the steem blockchain innovation by promoting it to all and sundry. I believe this has the power of attracting people from all walks of life to venture into the world of steem and invest.

My Steem Branded Stickers For Promotions
To be able to reach out to the masses in an easy way and have a feasible means of promoting Steem I personally designed a Steem branded Stickers. This idea was coined when I started Steem Promo to shops in Accra, the regional capital of Ghana. Dealing with businesses was quite challenging, you hardly get any attention from business owners or shop attendants due to their busy schedules at work. This made me think of the best way to send information about my brand without interfering their work. With the Steem Stickers I was able to embark on a number of steem promos to shops and also started "Pasting of steem stickers at vantage points and Steem on the wheels promos". Stickers at vantage points was all about pasting the Steem branded stickers at places where people normally converge to buy or sell. The focus was to let the Steem stickers do the talking even in my absence. Steem on wheels was also about pasting the stickers on commercial tricycles upon the concent of the riders. It's like taking Steem to places.

With 100 stickers made purposely for sharing the Steem brand around, I was able to do many promotions geard at attracting potential investors and those interested in profitable businesses online to do with their time. I love to wear my Steem promo shirt anytime I am on a mission to promote Steem, it gives me a good identity as an ambassador and makes everything I do look very official.

How I have utilized STEEM/SBD to support my "Lifestyle"
Living a life as steem brand ambassador often comes with a need to utilize some of my payouts for steem promo activities. I usually finance steem promotions from my earnings on steemit. I also give the needed support for steem outreach programs and any initiative that aims at creating more awareness for the steem brand. Not only do I want others to hear about steem, I also do my best to make my steem branded lifestyle become very attractive to people. I believe it has the power of attracting people for the brand I promote. People must have confidence in my brand and to achieve this I try to invest into steem promotions to always make it beautiful.

People's Perception about My Steem branded lifrstyle
living a life of a steemian and branding myself as an ambassodor has made a lot of people refer to me as the "Steemit man". At school my students have stopped calling me by name and rather call me "Steemit man" 😊 . This is because of my constant lecture on Steem with them after lessons. We all make fun with Steemit while learning more about it at the same time. I'm always happy when answering their questions about Steem and Steemit. Some have the feeling that I'm making it big time on Steemit when they check my profile and see how much I'm earning on my post.
