So, finally on Steemit. I was introduced to steemit by my big cousin @fisteganos and have wanted to join for a while now; but everytime I visited steemit to sign up, a quick glance through the front page always left me feeling inadequate and intimidated.
I always told myself... "These people knew a lot about what they are talking about."
So what to do? What can I write about that I know alot about? What would be the template on which I build my steemit account? How would I earn and keep my audience on steemit? Hmm...
Well, I am a Software Engineer/Programmer. But i'm not ashamed to admit that I am a hack at that; in these fields my motto is "I can do all things through google that strengthens me"; and while in my opinion you get more work done and gain more knowledge through google. I still consider myself to be someone who seeks rather than gives advice on matters arising in those fields and I dont think I can regularly churn out articles on them without eventually contradicting myself.
What else to consider? Yeah, i'm a writer of sort. I have volumes of poetry written for my eyes only. I wouldn't care to publish those. Also I have started writing 3 novels but sadly I always seem to lose the plot each and every time.
So still the questions linger, and what can I do about them? What would the general theme of my musings be? Should I be drawn to the allure of steem and write short crowd pleasers? Or should I write my stories and poems that might have no audience. What guarantees do I have that I would not altogether lose the plot of everything?
Well, I guess on that note, I'ld rather pump the brakes on that train of thought lest I lose my mind. I am just overthinking things again. I don't care anymore. Maybe I'll fly, maybe I'll crash and die. Maybe I'll make an impact doing something or maybe I'll just end up writing a whole lot of nothing.
Follow me to find out 😉
You're welcome cuz! Finally!
My steemit mentor. Bueno
Congrats from bringing @feekayo to steem spaceship !! :D
Welcome to Steemit @feekayo
Don't overthink it! Just let it flow. Maybe you can even ask some suggestions on where to take your novels from the community and reward the best ones.
Do I see the first book written via crowdsourcing in my mind already, yes I do!
Hahaha.. Your comment made my day. I have started seeing the visions too
Crypto tends to do that for everyone. I wasn't there at the start of internet but I guess those people had the same problem as we do now!
We are explorers setting our sails beyond unknown. Good luck to us all.
Our time will come as well
You are welcome bro, nice one!
Thanks bro. Nice to see you here
Welcome to Steemit. Stephen
Welcome to steemit, @feekayo. Following and looking forward to your posts.
Thanks. Looking forward to the experience
Nice intro @feekayo. Enjoy the ride here :-)
Thanks. Really looking forward to getting the full steemit experience
You came in blazing and the journey is one amazing experience. It will practically change your life in a positive way. You will build dreams and legacies and this will be plain to see
I have been humbled by the love and acceptance I have seen
As a programmer myself, I love this:
:)
Iol. I thought I was the only one that felt this way till I read an article that claimed learning proper use of google was 80% of becoming a good coder. The other 20% is knowing proper syntax and semantics 😂
Yep, that ratio seems about right to me. I wrote my first code in 1996. :)
Lol! The pre google days. It must have been like the wild wild west back then
A nicely written introduction, welcome to Steemit @feekayo!
Welcome brother. Speak what's in your heart and you will do no wrong. Good luck from another newbie.
Welcome and nice to meet you. Best of luck on this exciting journey.
No better way to learn than jump in and let the learning begin. Following, Welcome.
Yeah. Am jumping right in... headfirst. May the force be with us all
More so than a knowledgeable article, I love personal stories that reveal the heart and mind of the author. All the riches that you need to write are within you. Looking forward to what riches you find.
This is what I love too! Stories!!!
me too! I love the stories of people around the world...people I would never meet otherwise!
btw, I read you plan for creating that OneQ idea. It's really really good. I'll support it.
I've got little tearlike droplets on my left cheek. Oh my! Are they really tears?
THANK YOU!!!
you're so cute. You know, no one needs my approval to do anything. You and @mz-fisteganos are enough. You have the right kind of energy to lead Nigeria to a different place, a world that is more fair. You have all the tools now to do so. It's just waiting for you to decide....
Wow! I pray I am not dreaming.... #jumping and screaming# thank you so much @stellabelle.
Haha! Nice. I had a smile on all through.
Congrats my King! I am mega proud of you baby

Welcome to the community! :D
Rule #1 of using Steemit: IGNORE THE TRENDING PAGE.
Yh. Steering right clear of it. I havent been there in days now
Welcome to SteemIt and enjoy your stay! Write what you want! I'd read the poetry! Followed :)
Thanks very much. Prepare yourself for some kinda sorta above average word play 😀

You know what you have, you have honesty and humility. These are rare and brilliant qualities that we all need ... whatever you give, will contain that, so just give freely and you're gonna have a great time here BIENVENIDOS
welcome to steemit @feekayo & congrats to your cousin @fisteganos for getting you over here! :) upped & followed! :)
Thanks. Very much appreciated
We each have a wealth of value inside us - though it takes time and effort to mine.
T'is a learning and experimentation process here on Steemit... keep it up, accelerate the speed of your learning cycles through more and more experimentation... it may take some time to "find your voice" and assess what you have to offer that meets what the market values - though the direct feedback here is priceless. Think of it as a paid internship.
Persistence pays.
We'll always feel inadequate measuring ourselves up to some - though it is ourselves we are in competition with. And each new post is a new battle, a fresh opportunity to step up and implement we learned through the feedback of the last round to pump out more value for readers... ;-)
Welcome to Steemit! Thank you for posting - you look so relaxed and happy in your photos.
Welcome to steemit! Start working and in time you will see the results , your audience will begin to grow and you can have constant good payouts!
So it is all about being persistence and knowing what content you enjoy creating !
