My name is Cristian Salas and this is the story of how I came to Steemit

Hi! How are you? I wanted to make my first entry in Steemit introducing myself, tell you my story of how I got here and what valuable content I can bring to this great website.

My name is Cristian Salas, I'm 16 years old and I live in Venezuela. I decided to try Steemit since I had been told that it is a social network where it is possible to earn money by publishing, sharing, voting...etc. Things we normally do on other social networks, but with the difference that here all those actions have a monetary value.

I was working on my own blog before and you can see some of my work here: https://pixelgameros.blogspot.com/

I also work together with Allgamersin as a partner, and I am really grateful to them for this opportunity. You can see that they are really passionate about what they do and I invite you to visit their page through this link: https://allgamersin.com/ are mainly dedicated to video game news and every day there are more than 5 news to read. You can see that they are people who really love what they do.

It was a really great opportunity to grow a website like that, but it had one main drawback "I wasn't being monetized" I'm not saying it's something that really bothers me, the website is pretty new and requires some time to grow (like all things in this life) and it does so at a really fast pace but because of the need in my country, I need to earn some money a little faster, I wanted to help my family and start saving some capital for my future projects.

I'm not one of those people who think money was made to be spent, I think it's more of a tool that can help people a lot. So every time I earn some money, I save some of that money for future investments. I really feel frustrated that I can't start certain projects because of my lack of capital, and I can't ask my family for help because I know it's something they can't afford. This is a problem that has really made things difficult for me, but it's something that I don't let affect or stop.

Try to make money doing mini jobs on pages like Hive Micro or 2captcha...etc. But it's too tedious for me and I feel I could invest my time in better things. To spend 4 hours doing a thousand tasks so that in the end I get paid $1 feels a little unfair, especially because of how tedious it is. On top of that I am a student and spend about 6-8 hours a day at my school, so extra time is very rare.

I also did some jobs fixing computers, I know they had software or hardware problems, they had to install Windows...etc., it's something I really like, but there is not always a clientele and the pay is not a big deal either, of course! It has helped me a lot but it is not good enough to make a really significant change.

I looked for work as a freelancer but in all the projects I applied to as a writer I was not accepted in spite of putting all my effort in writing excellent proposals.

It was really a relief when I was accepted to Allgamersin, I felt that someone could see a great commitment and dedication on my part. They taught me a lot about how to do an SEO copywriting and gave me more confidence when applying as a copywriter. Although I feel that I don't contribute as much as other members, (this is mainly due to my lack of time due to studies) but when writing any article I try to do my best.

And even if they don't pay me, I don't intend to abandon them, since they need me and I need them. They've taught me a lot and I'm really grateful.

My future at Steemit

Steemit was a great opportunity to solve this problem, the contents that he shared in websites such as blogguers.net were quite supported and almost always made the front page because of the positive reception of people. So I didn't miss the opportunity and I launched almost blindly to this social network.

I think that Steemit is a great opportunity to spread my contents and earn some money with it, I don't plan to write blogs with that goal in mind, because I know that if I only thought about money I wouldn't be looking beyond the possibilities.

I feel that if I put effort and heart to this Web I can be every day closer to my objectives, I will be writing about video games and technology (news, reviews, opinion, experiments) since they are the 2 things that I am most passionate about. So if you like this kind of content I invite you to follow me and you can learn about this great world.
