MY INITIAL THOUGHT
Truly, it has been a while i heard about @steemit but I was skeptical about its truthfulness due to the varied forms of Ponzi schemes and the gory tell-tales that follow, especially in 2016-2017. That had made me to look at it from afar and study it into to in order to see how it works. No doubt, I was blown away with the cheering news that I heard from people and in truthfulness, I am glad that I am joining this laudable platform eventually.

HOW DID I COME ACROSS @STEEMIT?

Getting to know about @steemit was just through sheer coincidence. I was actually talking to a friend of mine when I saw @baboyed1000 broaching the concept of @steemit to him. I listened with rapt attention in order to get a whiff of what it was all about. I was initially mesmerized with the notion that it does not require a dime to join the platform. My fascination was against the backdrop of my encounter with Ponzi schemes which carted a fortune away without batting an eyelid {everybody needs an extra income, right?}. My second fascination was borne out of the fact that I can earn for any good quality content I choose to write. “Really?” I exclaimed! If I could do that and earn, then it is a good platform for every natural but logical thinkers to subscribe to. There and then, I joined the bandwagon of @steemit and I am quite certain that the beginning of my stint on the platform will bring and open new vista for me. I am happy to be here and I am bustling and raring to go.
I am quite sure that this pedestal will afford me a new frontiers in motivating and encouraging people from different works of life. I am really looking forward to meeting people from different part of the country. This is undoubtedly a great place to be.
