I was drawn to write a post about my first experience of getting a reward from steemit.
I joined steemit not because I wanted too but because I was forced repeatedly by my husband. To make him stop, I started joining steemit in August 2017.
At first, I didn’t know what to do? I am not a writer and I don’t feel like writing a blog and post it on the internet. I’m not a creative person, I don’t know how to angle my story and I am not sure if I can attract an audience to read my post. I told my husband that this is not going anywhere, that I am too self-conscious about everything I write (and post).
With support and encouragements, I tried to write my 1st blog and it was about my kudow (eyebrows)! Hahahaha. 😄
When I wrote that post, I was too nervous and unsure if it’s the right topic. I’ve waited half a day to decide whether I should click the “Post” button or not. I have these thoughts where I am too afraid to get judged by other people. So, I asked an opinion from hubby and I remembered he said this to me “you are not here to be judged. Just trust your guts and have fun” and some encouraging words that I can’t write it here. 😬 Hahaha.
So, it began. People do read my post! Not bad for a ‘Kudow’ post.
I continue to write and at the same time joined various contests in steemit. Just try my luck. Who knows, luck is on my side.
Then, I stopped writing for two months. Suddenly I’ve lost interest in writing and my brain just doesn’t cooperate well with me at that time. Until one fine morning, I received a message from a friend on my way to the office telling me that I have USD300 in my wallet steemit account. He advised me to withdraw since the price of SBD is at peak.
Unconvinced, I asked him “really?’ I don’t really recall I had that much in my stemmit wallet”. Once, I reach the office, without wasting any times, I’ve created my Luno Account and the rest is history.
Last Tuesday, I received the money in my personal account. I told my husband that it feels surreal. I’ll guess Christmas do comes early this year. Still unbelievable but I am so happy!
Shopping time using my steemit rewards!
Nowadays, I'm trying to get my friends to join steemit with hopes that they could get benefits from it. Funny, they are just like me when I heard about steemit for the first time. They show no signs of interest. Maybe, they’ll need a bit of encouragement too. 💪🏻💪🏻
One thing for sure, now I tried to write much as I can, driven by the experiences, I also join a new competition (pacman)on steemit that help you make some more money while having fun.
Check out this post. I'm sure you will have fun too @netuoso/play-pacman-earn-steem-more-retro-games-to-come
There is so much more that I need to learn and explore. Steemit has so much fun things to offer, from karaoke to Meme competition.
After all, there is nothing to lose by trying, right?
Thank you @danieldoughty and @bitrocker2020 for the encouragement and support.
Fighting!
With love,
