Steemit came into my life as a blessing and this blessing may remain till the rest of my life. In many of my blogs I've shared how and when I reconnected steemit and that come back given me financial freedom and security. It is around four years now when I came back to steemit after taking two years of break.

Before you were introduced to steemit, what digital or physical work did you base your income on?

Though I was active in both digital and physical work before having steemit. I was active graphic designer on freelancing marketplaces. I tried selling my photography and designs to stock photo selling sites.

I did official job in CS department of online shopping company. I left the full time stressful job when my income was good enough from steemit. It was 2021 when crypto market was green and price of steem was pretty good. There was no inflation too at that time.

Have you been a victim of online scams? Is steemit a breakthrough?

Yes, many times I became victim of scam and lost big amount of earning. My first scam happened in 2017 when I joined steemit and a scammer asked for 4SBD from my steemit wallet as he promised he will return with profit I was convinced. I was fool and greedy so the scammer grabbed my 4SBD and the value of 4 SBD was pretty good at that time.

Last year on 2023 when I power down to withdraw around 20k steem power I lost around 15k steem in a scam attack and lost my earning of two years. It was a scam attack from NFT platform where I had some designs and scammer trap me sending fake email and fake web to trap me.

I lost 1.20 Ethereum from my crypto wallet. It was the biggest scam I experienced in my life. I continued working on steemit even when I was broken for that scam attack. Gradually the constant support of whale curators heal the wound in my heart.

Do you prefer writing on Steemit for a month in your home to working under someone for a month under duress?

Ofcourse I prefer writing on Steemit for a month at my home instead joining any kind of official stressful job. It is exhausted to me to travel everyday to attend office on time and tolerating the attitude of owners.

Has steemit made you a bit independent financially than how you were? If yes or no, how and why? Explain with reasons

Yes, steemit brought or I can say bringing financial freedom to me since 2021. I left my full time job because I earned 2x better in steemit than my salary of a full time job I did. It was February 2021 when I left my official job and completely focus on writing and designing. As I said steemit came into my life as a biggest blessing and I want to hold this blessing till the rest of my life.

Imagine your life without Steemit and tell us in 3 sentences as the concluding part of your post.

Life imagining without steemit is a horrible thing to me.

• Life without steemit like life with full of stress.

• Financial freedom would remain a dream and I would fall into the debt.

• Life without steemit means I'm a slave of a company and I would lost my self-respect when working under somebody else.

Thanks For Stopping By
