Can Steemit become your full time job?

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Around a year back it was the time when I was desperately looking out for a job. I had a nice hefty paying job back home in India, but when my husband shifted to Muscat I joined him. I had to quit my job, and I was very confident that I would get something or the other here, but due to certain country laws it was getting difficult.

There were no finance issues, but when you have your hands and schedule full and then suddenly you become empty leaves you exposed. Though my Crystals & Counselling work was always on but I had never thought of making that my source of income. And with the new country again to get yourself known for your work is not easy.

It was just getting on me that I was not doing anything substantial. I was more or less trying to fill up my days by doing something or the other but at the end of the day there was no satisfaction and contentment to what I was doing. It felt like I was spread all over aimlessly. I had set some long term goals for me and I felt like they were all coming down and falling apart.

July 2017 was when I joined steemit. It was recommended to me by my husband, and he told me, you like to write so why not try it out. At first I was very sceptical, but gradually I started and yes I had my share of setbacks, hits everything, and in the initial months my enthusiasm was also very less as I was not seeing much traction. I felt like I was a drop in the ocean going unnoticed and my content does not mean anything.

But gradually towards October the pace build up, then gradually by Dec I saw myself gaining speed, and now I am completely involved here with all my heart. And all this has happened with a lot of extra efforts put in.

Now I see myself settled here, have understood the system well, just like you would take time to settle down in any job and start functioning 100% over a period of time.

I absolutely now have no intention of getting back to a full time 9 to 5 job. I have been also recommending my friends specially those who would wish to have a consistent earning and at their pace.

Like any job or business I now dedicate few hours in the day to my steemit work. I plan my post in a way that it keeps giving me consistent earning. I do not keep this attitude that I will be doing this in my free time, I give complete priority to my work here.

Benefits of being on steemit over your regular job is

  1. You work at your own terms and at your own time
  2. You get an ability to express and write all that you feel
  3. You get paid for the amount of efforts you put in
  4. It takes care of the inflation, as the steem price rises so does the value of your earning.
  5. Yearly bonus, increments all gets taken care off by the consistent rise in steem price.
  6. You are your own boss.
  7. It gives you complete work satisfaction as you write only what you enjoy.
  8. You get to know new people and be friends with them across the globe
  9. There is a continuous learning with so much of knowledge out there and real life experiences being shared

I guess these many are more than enough for one to go full swing on Steemit

It has been my observation here that every single individual who has put their heart in this work and consistently made efforts have gradually risen up.

Moreover for me I have found back my lost confidence. I feel empowered and in control. I feel freedom in every way, and a lot more.

This platform gives an opportunity from your journey of nothing to everything.

With Love and Angels Blessings 💖💖👼🏻👼🏻

It must be a great job - but it needs a lot of courage to take the risk. I hope it will be rewarding for you also in the future!

Thank you very much @chryptomark. I wish you too all the very best :-)

Very motivational for everyone here on Steemit, you obviously working hard creating your posts and also go the extra effort to promote them to the many friends and followers you have developed here on Steemit. This is an important aspect to your success as well I feel, you are not afraid to reach out to the people you enjoy the work of on Discord - and share your content that way. It's easy as well all become so busy on Steemit for us to forget our favourite content creators or miss their work - a friendly reminder can work wonders. Keep working hard.

With people like you around to support I don't think one can see a failure. Yes but for sure it needs a lot of connect, its not possible to keep tracking your favorite ones content as it just keeps pouring day in and out, so reminders are better to be not missed out :-)

Well My great Friend @nainaztengra i joined the steemit casually but later on i feel that it has turned into the preference of my life. I am ateacher by profession after coming bac from school i just took rest for one hour and then start my journey on steemit as it is just like ocean the more the explore, the more you learn new things.

Freedom of choice and rewards are the biggest sources of attraction. So, i do believe that in near future i am also going to quit my job and would love to become 24/7 steemain ;)

You are doing really great with your husband in muscat My Indian Freind, i am so proud of you.

P.S: You are the best example of women-empowerment Naina ;)

My Support is always with you

Stay Blessed, Steem On!

@salmanbukhari This is a great platform for you as a teacher I expect .Do you have any strategies that have worked for you for getting the information out to to masses ,about this brilliant platform that we can all contribute to the growth of the block-chain , as well as help- the value rise .

That's great to read, but if teaching is your passion, I think you should continue in whatever small way also if you can. For your steemit journey I am sure you will make it big soon, you just need to keep it going.
I believe if I can do it then anyone can do it, so for sure success is there out waiting for you.
Thanl you very much for those kind words @salmanbukhari

Well thank you so much for your appreciation and yes i would continue teaching & study side by side guys :)

It is very inspiring indeed. I too am a homemaker and look after my mil who is a dementia patient. In my spare time, I login to steemit. It has actually helped me to not lose my patience and all because I am the only full time caretaker. stay blessed and some day I hope to make it big here and help my husband.

I wish steemit brings you success and you are able to fulfill all your aspirations. You will do well I am sure, just keep on working, may be sometimes you may feel things are not shaping up, but don't give up. Your consistent efforts will help you achieve your goals
