If A Big Portion Of Your Life Revolves Around Steem, Watch The Video Above
In December I made a decision to become a full time Steemian, and that meant jumping in full force. I had no idea how I was going to do it, or what would become of it… I just knew it was something I wanted to do. In this video, I go over what it’s like to live off of Steem and these key points:
- The Opportunity it Brings
- The Reasons For Cashing Out
- The Difficulties of Price Fluctuations
- The Struggles of Losing Upvotes
- The Power To Donate Money
- The Need To Realize Nothing is Certain
- The Realization That You CAN Do It
If you’re also Steeming full time, or aspire to do so I hope this video can give you both hope and clarity on the topic. It’s not all pretty, but it’s certainly far from bad! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
I believe that everything I desire to accomplish, will in fact be accomplished.

Although the Steem/SBD fluctuations affect payouts, and the whales can and do loose interest, there is another factor at play over the long-term that needs to be looked at: the growing SP of your followers.
As you build up a follower base, the voting power of each follower grows over time as each minnow builds up their SP stacks. This growth has a compounding effect!
This is a great point for sure. Start building your tribe today and it will pay big dividends in the future!
I agree with building tribes. There's great power in community
Sheesh I wish I could have had you on the video so you could have said that. That's so true and I'm glad you mentioned it. Community building will pay off the most in the long run! This is an awesome point man!
Real talk, I like that.
Greetings of friendship, may be a good friend forever
Full time steemian, thats the dream
Dreams come true ya know!
Hey Spencer Ryan!!
Holy Smokes you've absolutely blown up!! And to think that this just the beginnings of the beginning. there's so much room to grow for both the platforms and for us the people in the platform.
I can attest the change you went through from your everyday-posting-on-facebook-with-little-result days to what you're experiencing now and i should say, anyone who watches you long enough should be inspired to do the same with their own lives!
Here's to being UNemployable and doing what we love while living off it.
Stay Awesome!
Hey man!!
Thanks for that! It means a lot! It’s true, the drastic difference from other platforms to this one is stunning 😳
Let’s keep at it and keep rocking brother 👊🏼
👊🏼👊🏼
Well, you're better at it than i am. Look forward to learn from your content!
I want to support everyone who has made this brave choice to become a fulltime Steemian! Awesome job!
Thank you @atmosblack!
That's the idea, I love it. Living purely off of steem, I would really like to find myself in that kind of position to have to make that decision. Good luck to you.
It’s definitely possible! Jump in and give it a shot!
Funny you mention these things cause i've been feeling them in my full-time Steemian journey. Some days are easy and some days are not but all in all, it's a wonderful thing to try out.
It’s those downs that test character and it’s the ups that make it all worth it bro! Keep it going 👊🏼
I did a Video on you, go check it out :)
Good and valid points there. Steemit for me has been worth the time
There are no guarantees but ut can be done. The more who do, the easier and more creative it will become.
That's so true! Well said!
Very candid and timely @spenceryan - Thanks for sharing this. A lot of people are hoping / aspiring to live off Steem full-time. It's great to hear the experience of someone who's actively experiencing it. 🙌🏿
Thanks for that @adetorrent! Glad I could bring some perspective for others! It's totally possible. It's a venture into the unknown but we have to just leap in!
Just became a Steem user the other day and I am scowering the forums to learn as much as I can to be successful as quickly as possible. Happy I stumbled upon this research. Thanks for your contribution @spenceryan !
No problem man! Welcome to the Steem blockchain @dannyjfong!
Brother, I agree with you 10000%. No, not 10000% but freaking 1000000000000%.
What I really liked is that you said that nothing is ever secure and it's so true! Even your job is not secure and if steemit really means so much to you then do it! Of course, work has to be put in, etc. but what people also tend to forget is this is an opportunity! And opportunities don't come very often :)
Thank you brother! Love your talk ma man!
Winny out...for now ;)
PS: currently I'm making background music for people with my guitar. I was wondering if you would like for me to make you one?
Dude, I hope you're putting that stuff on DSound for that juicy Dolphin / Orca love :D
Thanks for that brother! And you're right, job's are not secure at all. Thanks for the love brother, and yes! I'd definitely be interested in checking out your BG music!
Man this video really reached out to me bro! Almost broke out a tear lool! but thanks for sharing this information man I will definitely be looking into doing dtube full time too. As it's so true that you do not know what the future holds for you so why not take a chance! keep up the great content bro!
Hey that's awesome! Glad I was able to get to you! Thanks for that! Hope you get to the full time dream really soon!
Hell yeah dude. Glad it's working out for you. Excited to help support you and the community as we build a power house group that rocks DTube nation. Keep up the great work and let me know if I can help you in any way!
Thanks brother! Glad to have you in the circle! Same to you brother, let me know if you need anything! Thanks for watching!
