SOCIAL MEDIA OVERVIEW

We live in a world in which Social media is fully integrated in nearly every aspect of our daily life, Social media influence greatly the way we live and survive as a humans.The use of social media has been insinuated into different aspects of life such as politics, it also relatively affects business as well to be frank it's hard to imagine a lifestyle without social media because Social media is integrated in almost all of our daily activities. Kevin Werbach said and I quote that

–Kevin Werbach

Write about the social media you use the most daily and why is it beneficial for you or not?.

The social media I use on daily basis is facebook, I really love the application and enjoyed using it.

FACEBOOK: Facebook was launched in the year 2004 by mark Zuckerberg. It is a social media used for connecting and passing of informations to people around the world. I could remember the first time I used facebook was when I was in Junior secondary school, as at that time I was not allowed to own a mobile phone by my parents, my friends at school will gather and start gisting about how they saw some their pictures on internet, how they send friend request, how they were able to communicate with someone they are very far from them. So I walked up to a friend and asked him to do me the favor of creating an account for me which he did, ever since then I have been using facebook as a social media platform to interact with people, meet new friends, get some important tips and also to know what's going on around the world.

WHY FACEBOOK IS BENEFICIARY TO ME

• Facebook has many unique features one of these features is that it helps one to get information, connect or interact with a target audience. One of the feature is that you have the power to join or leave any page or group you don't want or like.
• I remember while I was preparing for JAMB (Joint Admission Matriculation Board) an exam you write to get admission to higher institution on Facebook I joined a brainstorming groups and page which contributed a lot to my success in the examination.
• As an affiliate marketer I use Facebook for marketing to reach out to larger audience
• Facebook is one of the Social platform I use anytime I feel I needed to be entertained to relief stress and pressure.
Facebook is a social platform I really enjoyed to engage whenever I'm less busy.

Why do you think spending more time on steemit than on other social media platforms can help you grow in life and benefits your life?

Steemit is a decentralized social media platform that reward registered members known as the authors for creating plagiarism-free quality content. This platform has a considerable community manner and accepts people for their quality content. Steemit rewards all it's users whether new all old for creating a good and real content unlike other Social media platform that give rewards to users with much followers or high profile.

How Steemit has helped me to grow in life and benefits
At first performing task on Steemit seems stressful and requires a lot of time, energy and full concentration. I remember when I was writing my introduction achievement post, I spent a whole day trying to write to the best I can. without talking less of other Social media platform ever since I started engaging myself in Steemit as a Blockchain social platform

Steemit has helped me to improve my knowledge on Cryptocurrency, I had zero knowledge about what crypto and blockchain is all about but then a friend advised me to follow Crypto acedemy which I did, I try and go through most of the recent post and read them and from there I began to catch some tips on what cryptocurrency is all about. So performing my first task was quite easy for me unlike the stress one will have go through as a first timer. Steemit has really enlarged my knowledge, I get to know what markdown is all about on steemit.

Steemit has given me the platform to test my abilities as a content creator and get reward for creating a plagiarized free content. In which it's rear or not possible to get from using other platform though their are some other social media platform that reward user for creating a good content but only few highly reputable users get the opportunity to be rewarded. Whereas here on Steemit a single vote is a reward compare to platform like Facebook where One thousands(1000) likes counts to no amount. We all know how happy a Steemian will be if he or she gets a thousand upvotes.

Steemit pushed me out of my comfort zone take for example some challenge contest I perform are topics I'm not familiar with, sometimes when going through my completed contest I ask myself Did I really write this!!

Time management: Combining school activities with performing steemit task as really helped me to know how to manage my time very well compared to other social media I engage and get nothing in return sometimes.

Financially Steemit is one of the best platform to engage most of your time in. there is reward for writing good content even you get curation reward for voting a content, just like I have said on other platform thousands of likes and views may count to nothing but here on Steemit thousands of votes is a whole lot.

In the end compare Steemit with other social media platforms by talking about their advantages and disadvantages, and give examples from your personal experience.

Below are the benefits I have experienced personal from using Steemit
• Steemit Builds individual in terms of Cryptocurrency, Social and Environmental skills
• Engaging in Steemit improves individual writing skills.
• Steemit Rewards users with Crypto assets.
• Steemit allow users to express their day to day activities through dairy games and get rewarded for doing so.
• On Steemit there's reward for creativity.
• It is not easily to hack account on Steemit unless users disclose it to a third party.
• Steemit promotes Cryptocurrency and Blockchain.

Advantages of Other Social Media Platform I engage in
• You can send direct message to other user once you know their account ID.
• You can connect to large audience by. commicating sharing of informations and data.
• You do not need a difficult or complicated password to login.
• Hacked account can be easily recovered.
• You do not need markdown to create a good content.

Disadvantages I have experienced in Steemit Social platform

• Once you lost your private key the account cannot be recovered.
• Using of Markdown is necessary so as to attract more reward on your post.
• It is not a social platform for entertainment, Entertainment is done in a creative content.

Disadvantages I have experienced in other Social Platforms

• Hacking of accounts is easier for example I can't count the number of times my facebook account was hacked.
• Rewarding of users with token is rare expect user with high profile.
• Only few promotes Cryptocurrency expect Twitter Social Platforms.

CONCLUSIONSteemit social platform is exceptional compare to other social media platforms I engage in. Steemit has really built me and I can proudly suggest Steemit platform to anyone who have the time and ability to create good content, wants to learn about Cryptocurrency and gets reward for doing it perfectly. Sincerely you can't engage in Steemit and not be glad you did you will surely gain one thing or the other.
