With this great opportunity here again, I greet you guys a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to come. I must confess that having been introduced to Steemit happens to be one of the greatest thing I had experienced this year 2017, I got into this platform, community, society, family and country like a man with dead intentions, have always had a talent but I was never able to confined in it, cause I couldn't get a teacher who could help in boosting my morale to push my talent to the moon and make my career my food.
I joined Steemit 15th of August 2017, hoping to just come and earn some $ and leave like I use to do on other platforms, well, I got in here and I was earning and earning big, meanwhile, I was just earning the $ as a visitor cause I never had a niche.
Though, I was making the little cash I could but I was missing fun, I got weak and lost when the table had decided to turn away from me, I began to notice that my works and post are beginning to lack the cash I came for, and all I was feeling was to leave the platform and find something else doing until the almighty decided to reveal to me that I had not been observant since I came in, then, God used @surpassinggoogle with his untalended contest, when I came across the preaching of the truth by @surpassinggoogle in the contest he had organised to make all minows to earn, cause the contest was like a contest where no one comes without earning $.
I began to go through some entry for the contest when I came across people taking about what Steemit means and what Steemit has done for them, then I knew I had been missing something and WHAT IS THIS THING?...... MY NICHE!... I never had a niche, I started thinking of what could be my niche, but firstly, I need to know what a niche is, I later found out that a niche on steemit.com is what I could always talk about, write about or do without getting tired and frustrated even when I don't earn $.
MY NICHE, MY BEST OPTION!.
*I started thinking on what could be my niche until I got to remember that I've always been in love with art but I still don't know how to go about it, though, I've got the talent, but I still don't know much cos I have to learn much, but like people will say....... *
practice make perfect.....
So I started working up Art as my niche, I began to paint even when I know they aren't good enough but I kwon my constant practice would make me a better artist sooner, I painted for a while and I decided to take a shift to drawing which I had always loved.
being a pencil realistic artist had always been my dream.
I eventually, find drawing a perfect niche for myself and I even fell in love with it more cause it makes me feel happy, though, I haven't started reading much on it, but, since art happens to be what I love doing, I still just find it interesting even without the $ it still built my fan base and future on a solid surface. Would just show you guys some of my works so far and I pray and hope I get more improved in 2018!
