STEEM VILLE CONTEST WEEK 1 || MY FIRST EXPERIENCE ON STEEMIT AND HOW I WAS INVITED by @ rutthy. || 10% to steem ville.
Good evening all, trust we had a great day. First of all I would like to appreciate @steem.ville for organising this great contest. I must say that it's a thought provoking one and am glad to be one of the participants.
INTRODUCTION
My name is Ruth Ebube and my steemit name is @rutthy and I am a Nigerian. I am a student of Agricultural Economics and extension in University of UYO, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
The topic of this contest is in two phases which are My first experience on steemit and how I was invited .I'll like to take the second one first.
BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT STEEMIT
Steemit is block chain social media platform that rewards it members with steem or steem dollars for creating and curating original contents. You can earn money here while doing what you love doing best for example, there are communities for arts, photography, graphics, nature, campus life and as well as the crypto and forex communities.
These various communities has so many members here that create quality and enlightening contents in mostly their areas of specialty in order to earn money to meet their daily needs. Another perfect way to earn money on steemit platform is by participating in contests organised by admins which has price tags and are often rewarded with steem.
HOW I WAS INVITED TO STEEMIT
I came to know about steemit around my final year, May 2021, all thanks to my friend @amicablepeace who introduced me to this great platform which I have never regretted the decision.
Prior to joining the Steemit platform, I have never been a fan of anything networking or social media whatever that may involve money, so any time she wants to talk me into joining Steemit platform, I always pretend not to hear and turning deaf ears towards it until tragedy struck during middle of my first semester in Final year.
My Uncle who was my sponsor at the time, reduced my scholarship to 50% because of the issues he had in his business , which means that I'll have to start paying my house rent my self and also source for money for my final year project. Heavy blow!
This situation made me to think of extra source of cash and that was when i remembered my friend @amicablepeace who now helped me to join Steemit and since then, it has been from one success story to another.
MY FIRST EXPERIENCE ON STEEMIT
Before i joined steemit, i learnt it was also about blogging, i was even happier, and decided to give it a shot since i could write and get paid. I did my achievement one post, but the turnout was not encouraging at all. I absorbed the shock and kept on with several postings in several communities on the platform, but still nothing to write home about. I decided to pause and re-strategize.
It was during my re-strategizing period that #club5050 was introduced, just when i thought i was back on track. With the small money i got from some contests i did, i decided to power up all two weeks ago and i still kept hope alive. I engaged in so many diary games with the proof of my power ups ,but the turnouts was still nothing to show for my several hours of sitting down and pressing my phone, but i kept on.
It was just last week that i woke up to a notification of an upvote from @booming02, i was so happy. This really encouraged me and gave me the strength to push further and do more power ups. Thank God i never gave up, although i was depressed so many times.
Special thanks
