How steemit has changed my life
Life communications
Personally, I must say the last one week hasn't been easy with me on steemit but it has been memorable especially the days I'd make a post and earn like $0.03; turns out days like that would bring me so much joy because as a newbie who is striving to get better, the pat on the back when my efforts are appreciated is all the motivation I need. I try as much as possible to ensure that not a day goes by without a post to inspire someone and in the spirit of getting to interact more with the community, I emerged as one of the winners of the genesisproject group photography winners. Actually the contest was organized just for fun by the group leaders @ehiboss and @harbecity, all the members of the group had to do was upload their pictures and they would pick out the best 3 each from the male and female category. The selection was made at random and although I wasn't online at the time because I was having a lecture when the contest started, my friend @morahn was busy rooting for me; he put in my picture for the contest and when he told me about it when I was through with lectures I was excited he remembered me and anxious if I would be selected which made me a time keeper as my eyes were glued to my watch for the deadline of the competition which was 2pm Nigerian time.. So you can imagine my joy when I actually emerged among the winners🤗🤗🤗🤗. It was like I had won a lottery eh... The Joy was excess.. And it didn't end there, I got a recharge reward for being among the winners.. I was just smiling the rest of the day 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁.
I also had the opportunity to meet new friends @preciousimo and @emmanueladams through the genesisproject family who are I would say am bonding with pretty well. Then my distant but admirable steemit friends made my week online worthwhile because they were all so welcoming when I would visit their blogs, find something interesting and give my comment. Their warm acceptance gave me a reason to frequent their blogs. They include: @geekgirl @denmarkguy @pitterpatter @barrydutton @fabiyamada @charitybot @jaynie @kaylinart amongst others and then to @official-hord @kofibeatz @pgold who were always up and ready to comment.. These guys are simply amazing.. The week was fun because of them. Thank you guys.
Also, still from the genesisproject family, I also participated in a weekly contest organized by one of its members @mimy and the theme for this week was NDJT part 2: teasing you left right front back and center. It was a contest that required leaving ur comfort zone and exploring one's crazy side and I was sure to do just as stipulated; I went wild and free🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈. Also because it's really amazing participating in contest as it provides a sense of belonging i also joined in another contest organized by @ttopswag; 5 things you would do if you mistakenly transferred 400 steem to a wrong account. I went all out to answer this question because I got into character 😁😁

Financial communications
The financial freedom steemit has given to me is best described in one word; astounding. I know there is joy in making a post and earning from it but then mine has been a different ball game altogether.. My earnings this week came mostly from interaction with friends... When I decided to leave my comfort zone and visit other blogs where I had the opportunity to read new things and it was more amazing knowing the interaction yielded money for me...
I was actually so excited and happy whenever I realized the author made a vote on my comment concerning his post and truthfully that has helped me this week.. My finances have taken a boost.. It has seen the green light 😂😂
Business communication
Business has been in a state of boom for me. Because steemit has given me a wider publicity.. People know am into real estate and networking business and they are all ready to contact me when they need my services... That alone is very refreshing 😍. Also, while steeming I have been able to close a real estate deal with a client.. It just keeps getting better.
Education communications
This has basically been the highlight of my week.. School has been so choked up, I have been having lectures basically 6hrs max and after that I would still come online to steem it on and I am always happy coming online knowing I will always see inspiring words on @samstickkz blog.. Then @dorbatim will always be there to make u think out of the box with his amazing poems. I got to know more about cryptocurrency and it's dwindling through @crypto-p @heiditravels and @barrydutton . Also @nairadaddy will always keep me updated on all medical issues through the air-clinic blog, @onyemacourage encouraged me on his post to newbies to keep steeming for a greater reward. @jaybird stimulated my love for music and @vaansteam gave me a whole new phase to appreciating art.
Furthermore, in my efforts to promote steemit and ensure that I make others enjoy what I have been enjoying; the fun and the money earned, I was able to introduce @ehmiee to steemit and @ufakobong to rekindle her love for it.. Other newbies are still awaiting the verification of their accounts. That's has been my progress in the last week and yes, it's been 2 weeks on steemit 🤸🤸
