RE: 🏆 The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes available! 🎁
thank you sir for all the information and education, I sincerely appreciate it and have a much better understanding of the witness definition and purpose. thank you thank you thank you!
did you say that you also work in the real world outside of Steemit?
Not right now I don't. My last gainful employment was owning and publishing two small weekly newspapers. They went out of business due to a change in state law on how to process bankruptcies—we published the sale notices.
Since then I had a janitorial job for a little over a year, but that was it, as I've been trying to get some other form of business up, be it on Social Media, my books, some other creations or now here on Steemit. So far Steemit's the best thing I've done by far, but not anywhere near something to live off of.
So, my wife is still working and we've been able to pay down debt and things prior to her working that has pretty much kept us ahead of the collectors while I'm trying to do something else. Not sure how much longer that will last, though, so my time here could be curtailed at some point.
oh my, there's alot to comment on here. First of all it would be a huge loss for you to have to leave, I mean I doubt if there is anyone on the entire platform who contributes as much material as you do, it's stunning.
as far as income here, isn't just a matter of time to grow big enough?
Regarding the newspapers, you aren't saying that the bankruptcy notices is what kept you in business are you?
and one more thing that I forgot to ask from your previous post: you said that you can't find things to comment on lately? why is that I mean what kind of topics are you looking for that aren't here anymore?
