Is Steemit a learning place?
Image From the original contest
Hello steemian friends,
I'm @wasa2020 from Nigeria.
I'm so delighted today to share my entry in this week's contest challenge in this community today with the title "Is Steemit a learning place?" organized by @malikusman1.
Before I will present my entry, I will like to invite @josepha, @yakspeace, @cephasmbah, and @lhorgic to also join the contest in this wonderful community. I wish everyone luck in the contest.
What are your main reasons to work on Steemit? Just earning or anything else?
When I first came to steemit, my major reason was to earn because the person who introduced me told me that by writing on steemit I can be able to pay my bills and also help to solve some family issues.
To be sincere, when I started blogging, over time my focus was on earning but after a while, I was advised by a friend who has been on the platform more than myself that I shouldn't focus on only the earning but also put my mind on learning things in that way if the support doesn't come I won't feel discouraged.
That changed my thinking about the platform greatly and I started thinking of earning and learning. So my major reason for being on the platform today is to earn and learn.
Do you think Steemit helps you learn new things?
Yes, there is no doubt about that. Recently I decided to go through my blog as a beginner and I discovered that I have improved greatly. I thought the writing was easy when I was told about the platform but after writing my second article which was termed plagiarized content I knew it wasn't an easy journey.
I decided to take out time to learn from those who already are ahead of me and that has made me increase significantly in my writing skills today. I know I'm not there yet but I'm certain I have improved greatly. So steemit has helped me to learn new things.
Which kinds of things do you learn from here?
I have learned a lot of things from here among which include creating good content using some basic tools to check for grammatical errors and also sourcing images and text. The use of markdown is one other major thing I have learned here as it has helped me to organize my work more beautifully.
Today, I know the difference between free images and images that are not free. I also have gotten basic knowledge of blockchain technology which before this time I had zero knowledge about it. There are many more things that I have learned in the course of my being on the steemit platform.
Which user's posts are most informative for you, and why?
There are many users' posts I admire. Here in this community, I always read through the post of @steemdoctor1. He is indeed a wonderful author. His articles are usually straightforward and get informative.
If I need more guidance in any engagement task, I read through his post to get the information needed because he knows how to explain things her easy and simply as well as straightforwardly. I really wish to be like him someday.
Thank you, friend!
