I always loved doing reviews on games, movies, books ECT... But never really had the opportunity to do it. The Steemit platform in a way allowed me to express myself.
I started doing game reviews or talking about Steemmonsters giving opinions and suggestions, making reviews for me is doing what you love and getting paid for it, so why not ?!
Of course I'm still a baby plankton and my reviews don't get that much attention, until that one day ( 2 weeks ago )
So I was looking to become an influencer that speaks about high-tech, games, movies etc... And I posted that on my Instagram feed to see people's opinions on this "influencer" thing and if it was worth the shot.
It really didn't take long before I got contacted by a startup magazine asking me if I would like to work for them as a game and movies reviewer. I was so surprised that it happened that fast!

So after we had a little chit-chat about what the work is about and where the office is, they asked me to submit some of my reviews to checkout my work and the coherence of my writing. Didn't have any other solution but to drop some links to me steemit reviews. And man they liked it!
They loved it and asked me to come by the office for a face to face interview which was totally logical.
It was a Saturday morning, I get there and I meet this bunch of crazy yet creative teenagers working chatting, some gamedevs working on new games, others making designs and others chilling in the kitchen debating and listening to music haha.
I just loved the vibe, it was amazing. I met with the co-owner and we talked business, what the job consisted about and things that i should know.
Meeting went smooth, I got hired, chilled a little bit with the team and I am now officially a GAME REVIEWER!
Thank you for reading ♥️

That's so great! Though I'm confused, did you link to steemit from your Instagram? Or was that a separate thing?
Well they approached me on Instagram from there I took some of my post's links and sent'em to them on Instagram, so I redirected them to my posts, that's the correct way to put it I guess.
