Hello dear friends of Steem For Better life community, it's such a pleasure to participate in this community's contest for the first time. It is with joy and happiness that I participate in this contest, because this topic was my practical experience before I got engaged with other stuffs which took my attention away from steemit for some times now, but I'm glad I'm back again.

In today's contest the question is "Can the Steemit Platform Become a Main Profession?". If you missed the contest post kindly find it here.

Can the Steemit Platform be used as a Main Profession? (Explain)

The answer to this question is a capital YES.
The Steemit community and it's activities is so vast and enticing that if one can dedicate his/her time to explore and learn how the platform works and at the same time abide by the rules of the community, that person will make both a living and good money from steemit.

• Steemit is a blog platform: One can decide to be a full time blogger on steemit and make good earnings from it. On steemit you don't need to run ads to drive traffic to your blog page, you don't need to pass through Google's rigorous verification process for your article to always pop up in a search, your article is open to all in the blockchain. Anyone can easily locate your blog page and support you with votes from their free will.
• Availability Of Contents To Post: As far as steemit is concerned, a user cannot run out of content to publish. So many things on steemit inspires users to write. One can draw inspiration by reading other people's articles, contest posts, steemit engagement challenge, crypto academy, community posts etc.
• Availability Of Several Communities With Different Interests: There are numerous communities on steemit with different interests, one can easily find and nitch around these communities a continuously create contents in such communities with his interest.
• Availability Of Good Supports: On steemit there is good support for users who creates quality and original contents. These support can come from both çommunity users and steemit team.

• Utilizing The Decentralized Benefit Of Steemit: Steemit is decentralized in the sense that users has liberty to make their decisions, join communities, participate in any activity of choice, vote, delegate, contests etc. No one is restricted on steemit from all the benefits in it. One can join as many communities as possible and explore the benefits in those communities.

Can the presence of the Steemit platform remove the negative stigma of Blockchain, so that it can be turned into a great opportunity for investment in the future? (Explain)

The presence of steemit can to an extent remove the bad stigma of blockchain.

The cryptocurrency industry since it's emergence in 2009, has had its back against the wall. Both financial institutions, the media and government regulatory bodies have either dismissed or outrightly condemned it, which is a negative stigma on the industry.

Meanwhile some of these negativity and skepticism is caused simply by fear of losses or hackers, bias, or lack of understanding on how the industry works.

There is no disputing that the negative stigma of the blockchain has hampered its adoption, despite its potential to change the digital world like no other technology before could.

• Security Of The Steemit Platform: One of the fears of the general public adopting blockchain is the presence of hackers. If the general public will be well educated that the Steemit platform cannot be hacked, every fund is well secured and can only be accessed by the individual owner with proofs, there will be a general and confident acceptance of the platform which will lead to good investment by the public into the Steemit platform.
• Continuous Education About The Blockchain: A continuous education on how the blockchain works which is already ongoing via the crypto academy çommunity is an added Advantage for all users and steemians. A lot of steemians including myself got to learn and adopt the crypto currency via crypto academy learnings. So as people join and learn from the crypto academy trainings here, there will be a clear understanding and adoption of the platform which will inturn lead to more investments.

Conclusion

The Steemit platform can be a 100% profession for anyone who wishes to do so. The benefits are unlimited, judging from the earnings, to quality contents, to trainings, to socialization etc. When I joined steemit initially back in 2020, it was my only job then and I made good earnings from it, before I started diving into other businesses. I have also heard of friends who does steemit alone as a profession and has used it to achieve a whole lot.
