Contest Alert: My steemit success story.

Hello follow steemians welcome to my blog. How are you doing in your respective countries? I'm here to join this thoughtful contest.
I will also like to use this opportunity to thank @okere-blessing for organizing this wonderful contest. I also want to thank @mercybliss for inviting me to participate in this contest. This is one of my first time in this community. Here is my story for the contest. I wish you happy reading. Don't fail to leave a comment and upvote.

How did you discover steemit?

I was well informed and introduced to steemit by one of the greatest artist in Uyo. This guy has impacted so many lives by introducing them into steemit FOC (free of charge). His name is Paul Young with the username @paulyoung. First he said he loved my artwork and that he would show me a social media platform where I can be appreciated for sharing my craft.
I was so happy that someone could find me worthy for such opportunity.

May God continue to bless him for touching lives.
When I got introduced to steemit I was lacking behind because I was technically lazy. However, I kept trying. I even went to meetings that were organized by @ngoenyi our Nigeria representative. She carried me along just like she does to all her newbies.

Do you take steemit as a full-time work or you blog anytime you have Chance?

Steemit is not a full time job for me. I'm an artist. I draw, paint and craft. I use steemit as a medium to showcase my God's given talent.
However, I gave myself the responsibility of posting in my steemit blog as often as I can. I have found writing to be a very good habit because it involves reading and that has widen my learning ability. My intellectual developed on a regular.

Some people don't even know that writing is another form of escapism. Not just an escapism, but a positive escapism. Any time I have free moment I use it for writing. Writing and reading other people's post in this platform is such a huge blessing to me.

What are the things you have achieved with steemit earnings?

If I have to write about my achievements in steemit it might take me almost a whole day to write about it. The efficacy of steemit to my life is way too numerous for me to remember it all. I joined steemit since 2021 that should tell you how much I have benefited.
I have met so many people that have touched my life positively. People that wants to see me grow. Some of this people are not even closed to me. Some haven't even seen me in real live. @stef1 @davidad @bossj23 @mercybliss @petface @josepha @m-princess @xpilar @ruthjoe @benton3 @eliany etc.
I want to say thanks for your constant support and encouragement.

My birthday gifts gotten from steemit earnings

I bought the phone I'm using right now from the additional money I made from steemit. I did it prior to my birthday. I didn't only buy phone. I also bought other items like water bottle and other art materials.

Is steemit meeting your expectations or there's something they need to do.

Though steemit has been encouraging. However, things have changed. The support I used to have from steemit when I drop valid content isn't the same again. They platform should step up by doing better in the case of appreciating people who literally crack their brain just to contribute positively to this platform. I see a lot of support given to newbies, that makes me feel like going back to become a newbie.

How can you convince someone to join steemit without too much explanation.

I have done that so many times. I have introduced do many people into steemit without stress. The problem I have with them is that some of them don't take it serious because they're not that open to learning new things.
Before I introduce you to steemit I will do the same thing my mentor did. I will show you tangible things that I have gotten with the money I made from this social media platform. I will show you my wallet and other steemians wallet just to sell you the idea that steemit will impact your life positively. I will tell you to stop surfing the internet or other social media platforms that doesn't add something positive to your life. I have won a lot of heart just by doing that.
