WHERE AND WHEN DID YOU FIND STEEMIT

Steemit is an amazing social media platform that we know is built on a Blockchain. On steemit, quality posts are rewarded with a cryptocurrency known as steem.

My Steemit story is such an interesting one that I always want to share it Everytime. I found steemit when I was really having financial difficulty and given up on any or any business done online.

I didn't know about steemit until the year 2021 in the month of January, I travelled to the city of Owerri in Imo state found in Nigeria. I had travelled for to attend a conference there.

My beautiful self

During the conference, I noticed a particular lady kept talking to the people present in the conference about steemit. The name of the lady is @ceendy20. She said beautiful and amazing things that seem to good to be true about the platform, even though she was not talking to me

---

One day, I decided to meet her so she can tell me one on one about the platform. I told her that I have been hearing her talk to people about something she calls steemit. I told her I would like to know what she means by steemit, she was patience enough to explain to me how it works. She told me steemit is a social media platform where one can make quality and original post and is rewarded for it. I was not so convinced because In the past, i have been involved in other online business that failed so I felt steemit was one of such. I told her I will get back to her.

By February 2021, I went back to the location where I live, which is Lagos state. I thought deeply about steemit. And I had no other option left than to put a call across to @ceend20. I told her I was interested in signing up on steemit. We scheduled a day she would direct me on how to sign up. The day came and I finally signed up on steemit.

@cendy20

I did my introduction post and I was so excited with the experience of writing on the platform for the first time.

HOW DO YOU SEE STEEMIT SO FAR IN YOUR JOURNEY?

Steemit really has been amazing, beautiful, infact let me tell you, steemit has been many things to me since I joined in February 2021.

Firstly steemit has been like a school to me

Yes steemit is like a school to me, I have leant so much from steemit. I remember after making my introduction post, the next thing I started doing was learning how the platform works. I learnt how to make post beautiful by editing it and learnt markdowns.

---

I have learnt how to engage in quality engagement on other people's post. Not just saying short things on people's post but really engaging them since its a social media platform.

---

I have leant deligence and consistency on steemit. Over time, I realized that steemit is not a get rich quick scheme, so in other to make something meaningful out of Steemit, one needs to be deligent and consistent in doing the right things hoping for better days.

I literally learn everyday on steemit.

I have learnt how to save through Powerups

With the introduction of the club status, I realized that savings on steemit is possible. When the club status was introduced the first time, I didn't find it funny, but I remember I was one of the foremost person's that embraced the initiative back then. Now I see so much needs in powering up. Aside savings, powerup is one of the ways the system can stay balanced. Also through Powerups you can help support other steemians by voting with your steem power.

My steem power has grown from 300steem to over 3000 steem power in less than a year the club status was introduced. Just yesterday I made a powerup of 1000steem. I would not have achieved that if the club status was not introduced.

Steemit has been my channel of financial support

Oh how steemit has been of great help to my finances. With my earnings here on steemit I have been able to pay for my accomodation twice. I have also got some personal needs settled through steemit. I can not over emphasize the help I have gotten from steemit. Seriously, with all honesty, the highest money I have ever made was made here on steemit. Am so grateful that I found steemit.

Excited me

My journey so far on steemit has been a well of experience, I adjust to new updates and move on when I need to move on. Back then when I joined my mindset was just to come and make money but now, the mindset has changed. I now realize that you need to own steemit for it to work for you. We rise together...

---

So far, I believe I have made so much progress on this platform, and I think I desire more growth. I want to hit the club dolphin status soon.

---

I believe so much in this platform, I believe in steem and I believe in what we can achieve together with our collective efforts.

Thank you for reading...

I invite my friends to join this contest.
