RE: Dumaguete- My First Visit.
I'm sorry to hear that about your country Sharon! They might just need a little bit more awareness and more proof. Maybe you can do that in the future! :)
I'm too shy to do that. She's too super! hahaha I'm not sure if I can describe it correctly. :) May be in the future! Aja!
Hahahahaha, yeah, I get it, I get it! But there's also a lot of people in these meetups, from what I have seen. Whenever I hang out with a group of people I tend to find at least a couple friendly ones with whom I talk a lot and they make my day so worth it! I'm not shy, though. I'm as eccentric as they come, even though my day-to-day is very solitary.
And you're right about the people in my country. A lot of people have already started online projects and this brings them a lot of safety since they don't have to leave their homes (crime!) and it also brings in much more money to their homes than they could make by working day-to-day jobs. I've talked to a lot of people and they think that the main problem for them is that they don't speak English. They think that every monetary opportunity on the Internet can only be attained if one speaks English.
While it's true that English speaking people have the best opportunities here on Steemit, I've seen that there are many blogs that earn in the hundreds and are in Spanish and other languages. Maybe the key to bringing them here would be to show them the opportunity and emphasize the possibility to be successful in their own language.
I think I'm not the best representative of that, since my "best" language for writing is English (I think better in English, and I'm more accustomed to writing literature in English than in Spanish), so maybe I can't be the one to bring them together to Steemit. I hope I can find a way to entice them without having to change my language.
It's not so obvious that you think better in English Sharon! I just left for a bit and you've written a diary. Not a bad note just find you so bubbly (that's a good thing).
Don't underestimate yourself, your talent can get you wonders, especially on your tinkery and your fiction write-ups. :)
We will never know. I do hope that everything would go well for all of us. ^^ Aja!
Hahaha, I looked that up! (bubbly) I wasn't sure about your intentions. :P I guess I am. I'm very outgoing and likeable. A bit of a drag sometimes because I talk too much and don't understand deadpan sarcasm.
I'll try not to underestimate myself :P Although many times I instead overestimate myself and end up accepting tasks that I can't really undertake.
I hope as well that everything goes super well for all of us :) This is such a dreamy place, so nice. I'm really looking forward to being able to call myself one of the successful early-comers to this land of opportunities.
