STEEMIT - Possible road to becoming a Digital Nomad?

So yesterday, I got some time off from work. I am currently working for a BPO here in Davao City Philippines. I am a team lead for a subscription box company based in the US. I actually have decent pay and a good shift. However nothing will still beat the longing of freedom and actually something that you love. Being stuck in a 6am to 3pm job tends to be repetitive and drown you in seemingly never ending loop of the corporate rat race and kill your creative drive. (Unless you actually dreamed of working in your current job then good for you.)

You can go on to say that I am an ungrateful prick. You're probably right, but let me tell you this. In this company, I have maintained a 1 yr and going perfect attendance. Performed to the best of my abilities and took initiatives in some parts. All I can say is I was actually happy working where I am now before. I didn't dread my alarm clock, I looked forward to coming in and was content on what was going on. Got promoted twice because of it. Sadly all of that is in the past now and now I am working towards becoming a digital nomad.

I want control of my life, my time and actually do something that makes a difference. I went on this journey thinking that I should go to websites like upwork and onlinejobs.ph . Hopefully get a good client and land a job where I only have to work 2-4 hours a day at home. The rest of the day I get to enjoy with the people who matter to me and doing the things which I actually love! That's the dream! It isn't as easy though. There are challenges of some clients scamming you or some of them not getting you because you are new. Long story short, my dream of becoming a Digital Nomad and taking my life back from the clutches of the corporate world was not anywhere near...YET!

It's a good thing a friend of mine, @patricklaguna introduced me to Steemit! He told me that he made $8 by posting himself singing! I was like for real? I mean I am a singer and I definitely do videos from time to time. I went ahead and got on to steeming! I joined last July 21,2017 and as of this date I currently have around 250 Steem Power. I have powered up before with 15 Steem and that's it. All of my SP is organically earned from posting everyday and just making it original and hoping for the best. For 1 month in the platform I'm not sure if this is a good thing or I am still slow. Still not bad for me.

So in relation to my title, yes it is still a question. Here is how it is, the minimum wage here in Davao City is at Php 320, in USD that is around $6 - $7. For me to live as a digital nomad and still earn enough to have minimum wage, I would have to produce blogs everyday that can earn at least $8 to $10 and I would have to at least write 3 blogs which can reach that success. The reason for this is because for my earnings to become withdraw-able I would have to make the post 50/50. Since Steem Power takes time to be withdraw-able and I would personally like to grow my SP. My personal goal is to reach at least $15 - $20 SBD per day. That would be enough for me to thrive here in Davao City, Philippines and still have enough money to bless other people as well.

In regards to this, there are days where I can hit it in no time, then come the days where it's just meh...I really need to work on the consistency of what I make here on steemit and I can make sure and assure my followers that my material is authentic and original, the reality is, that is not enough. Even though steemeit may at times act like a social media site, the effectivity of your writing skills still matter. I have a friend who achieved my current SP in 2 weeks! What took me 1 month took him half of the time. I'm still happy though, he does upvote all of my posts, can't complain about that.

This reality opened my eyes to the truth of effectively earning here on steemit! It's not just about quality or quantity, it should be both! Either a whale visits you or 10, 100, 1000 minnows support you! it's beautiful actually. My hope is now in the education of my country men about steemit! Why? Simple, If I upvote 1 person, I get curation rewards and the possibility of getting upvoted back. What if I educated 200 Filipinos and did the exact same thing. That would be beautiful. Steemit is wonderful for Filipinos because of the following factors.

• Filipinos are always on Social Media. We are crazy for information! It's both a blessing and a curse, but in regards to Steemit, it's a blessing!

• Filipinos are always looking forward to earn with the least amount of effort or something that would cost them less. While a lot of effort should be allotted to Steemit, it is free to join and the rewards are awesome!

• Filipinos have a culture of "bayanihan" which means to help one another. Though some also have crab mentality, I can just hope that we can all unite for the common good!

This is why I have my strong 200 steemians project. I want to see 200 lives changed for the better and of course it will help me on my road to becoming a Digital Nomad! So far I have 20 people who are now actively steeming, 10% of my goal, so happy with it! Also, luckily I have made some posts which do earn a good amount from time to time and this is definitely helping me reach my goal. By the way goals are never bad. Just make sure that when you are chasing them, chase them well!

I got a feel of becoming the digital nomad that I wan't to become yesterday. Laptop, Wifi connection, good coffee in Blugre and an awesome view! Excited for it!

Don't worry im on steemit in the picture! :D
