STEEM GHANA CONTEST WEEK 2: WHY I LOVE STEEMIT BY @ruthjoe
Hello steemit lovers
This is indeed a very interesting contest, and am so glad to be a part of the contest.
I appreciate this community @steemghana @nattybongo and @mcsamm
For putting together this contest.
Before i proceed with telling you why i love steemit i would really love to tell you just a little i know about steemit, i believe it will give a clear picture of why i love steemit.
WHAT IS STEEMIT ABOUT?
From my knowledge,
Steemit began 5years ago. Steemit is a blockchain blogging which has a social media website, where content creators write and make post. steemit houses different people from all over the world regardless of tribe, culture, country or continent.
Steemit has amazing beautiful communities attached to it where you can learn and meet people from all forms of life.
Steemit pays its users with a cryptocurrency called steem. The platform is really breath taking!
WHY I LOVE STEEMIT
From my short explanation above about what steemit is, then i can now proceed to say why i love steemit.
There numerous reasons i love steemit but today i will be sharing with us 6 reasons i love steemit.
Below are 5 reasons i love steemit.
- I love steemit because it supports ORIGINALITY:
what do i mean by this?
Steemit supports every content posted to be the original content of the content creator. This means steemit doesnot encourage plagiarism of any sort be it pictures or write ups. If you must copy any material as a writer in steemit then you must be ready to source where you got it from, ie you acknowledge the original writer. So imagine if steemit doesnt have the rule of frowning at plagiarism, havoc would have been happening so frowning at plagiarism is another way of steemit been organised.
- I love steemit because I can steem from my COMFORT ZONE : yes we can!
Its not like one white collar job where you must report to an office everyday, and spend almost the whole of your day. Steemit can be done right where you are, where you feel comfortable, it could be your house, at school, workplace, even in the market place. As long as you have your phone or laptop with you then you are good to go.
In Nigeria, lagos state where i stay by 3am people are already on their way headed for work just to beat the traffic on the way. Imagine if steemit cant be done from our comfort zone, then i would be among the millions of people dashing out of my house by 3am, that would be so stressful. So i love steemit because i can do it just from anywhere i want to.
- The 3rd reason i want to share now is the fact that i love steemit because it encourages CREATIVITY.
From my first reason i love steemit, you will notice i stated that steemit frowns at plagiarism right? Because of this reason content creators have no choice than to become creative inoder to produce contents that are original. And am glad that as creativity is employed by content creators, steemit encourages it with votes.
Creativity is the act of producing a mental image of what was formed in the mind.
I see alot of creativity in steemit.
- FINANCIAL FREEDOM
This is the part where so many love so much. From the things i said about steemit you will understand that steemit pays.
I love steemit because it brings financial freedom to just anyone who takes it as a job, working hard and smart, with consistency and dedication to it.
You dont need to wait for the end of the month to get paid,your pay comes as you make good post with great contents. It makes you free from been a salary earner.
- COMMUNITIES AND LEARNING:
The next reason i love steemit is because I never stop LEARINING with steemit through the various commnunities under steemit.
Joining steemit has helped me so much, i have learnt new things from reading posts. Even my writing skills has greatly improved.
From the various communities have been able to meet people all over the world and to some extent see how they reason, know some culture and place. I need not travel to so many countries by air to know about them, all i need is to know them right here in steemit by visiting those communities and reading about them here.
All these boils down to learning. Like now am in steem ghana participating in this contest. Its really amazing for me.
