RE: Newbies - a few tips (again)
True no doubt, those third world countries are all over steemit and I'm one of them.
I get really proud of some Nigerians here on Steemit that are doing a good job on Steemit and promoting steemit and steem with their little earnings.
An average Nigerian earn around $85 to $100 a month from white collar jobs and most of them that are here are happy that they've found a good alternative.
It's good that we are taking advantage of this decentralized systems and using it to change lives in our society. Just take a look at what people like @ejemai @tojukaka and myself are doing in Nigeria.
We would have taken our little earnings and get a new house or new car, but we are using it to talk to the Youths, opening steem accelerator hubs with free WiFi and electricity. These is something that the government of Nigeria cannot do for their people.
Currently im in way to enugu to talk to the Youths there about Steemit and I'll use the opportunity to talk them out of taking money from selfish politicians who go around giving youths chicken change so they can cause election violence.
I'm using steem to change lives in my world
Well done, but again, a little advice. Don't get people to join Steemit.com by telling them they can earn money - because when they're not millionaires by next week, they start getting impatient and spamming, asking for help/upvotes/resteems etc and that is what annoys people that have been here working hard for months.
I would rather three people joined that add value to the platform and work hard to build up their account than 300 people who are here for what they can get and will hop off to the 'next big thing' as soon as they cash out.
Yes, that's exactly what I do, I'm almost a year on Steemit and I understand what it means to tell newbies "Steemit pays you for your work". If you pass the wrong information, their expectations will be too high.
Thanks, this meetup that I'm going for is for those who are already doing well on Steemit
