The Bear Market Made Me Search For An Alternative

Honestly speaking, the bear market really took me and other steemians unaware. It really did hit me so hard I had to search for an alternative. Am a student of the University Of Port Harcourt Nigeria. And being a student, it's almost impossible to cope with school activities, personal activities, then online activities. Before the bear market, I used to squeeze out time to blog (mostly at night) on steemit during my leisure. Then the price was fair, I think 2-3$ that time.

Things got so low to the fact that the whale I was looking up to for support had to go on full power down. This was where it hit me hard. And going about asking people for upvotes just wasn't my thing since it's against the steemit rule, I didn't want to violate steemit's rule for my selfish interest. I still struggled to write articles, but very few upvotes, in fact, there was a time I earned nothing.

Considering the fact that am still a student, I decided to take a break from steemit in search for greener pasture elsewhere, (maybe steemit is not for me). Bottom line is, I haven't located any greener pasture yet. Of a truth, life is hard.

All thanks to @infovore for this awesome opportunity to air out my problems and what I have been going through for a while. I will try as much as I can to continue blogging on steemit. Cheers.
