My first post

in #philippines7 years ago

Hello internet! I may have the slightest idea on what I'm trying to do here on Steemit but I'll give it a shot. I can't recall the last time I attempted to blog again but I hope this time I'll really do it.

First of all, what would be a blog without a proper(?) introduction by the author?

My name is Job A. Corcuera but my friends like to call me "Corks" or sometimes "Mola" (they actually got it from my Suzuki Mola 150). I'm from the Philippines, a not-so-familiar country from the east. I'm currently taking up a degree in Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in the University of the Philippines Los Baños. I like riding my motorcycle, depriving my sleep for studying and eating extremely spicy food. Most of the time, I spend hours sitting on my chair and browsing the web for random things from drug receptor actions to leather tanning. My spontaneity to everything brought me here to Steemit. Being a student with a hobby for motorcycles and unhealthy eating, I found myself in constant poverty almost every month. I spend about an eighth of my monthly allowance to unnecessary things like cigarettes, chips, motorcycle accessories and such. I considered becoming a student assistant for a department in our college then I realized that 2000 Pesos (about $40) monthly for a part time job is pretty unfair. Disappointed and hungry, I came looking for a job in the largest community in the world, the Internet.

I tried Neobux, a paid-to-click site, for a few months. The results were very slow and I earned poorly (I was paid to click ads, which was not so hard; Hence, the poor earnings). After days of trying to find a proper online job that fits me, I came across a Facebook video about Steemit. It was a video made by Jerry Banfield and he showed how much he made in a matter of a month. At first the results he showed was completely absurd, as if he was just part of another scam site. I learned that Steemit screens their prospective members first and after a few hours of browsing reviews, I realized that Steemit was a legitimate way to earn online.

So, there you have it, here I am on my first post on Steemit. I came here to earn money but I believe content and the community is going to be a better reason for me to stay here. Cheers!

Welcome to steemit

Welcome to Steem Community @soylent1! As a gentle reminder, please keep your master password safe. The best practise is to use your private posting key to login to Steemit when posting; and the private active key for wallet related transactions.

In the New Steemians project, we help new members of steem by education and resteeeming their articles. Get your articles resteemed too for maximum exposure. You can learn more about it here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@gaman/new-steemians-project-launch

welcome to the steemit. I hope magin successful ka dito kumpara sa mga ibang gig na nasubukan mo.

I'm not expert but I will share what I was taught.

You need to fix how you do you tags. For example this post of yours should be #introduceyourself first before #philippines. You are allowed 5 tags so it is good to use all for more exposure.

On the "tags and topics" scroll all the way down and click on "show more topics". A list of all the tags will be displayed.

I would tag your post as #introduceyourself #introducemyself #philippines #teamphilippines #tilphilippines

#teamphilippines is a good community and they have a forum on discord as well, they could help you with other stuff you might want to ask.

You could increase your followers by using the follower exchange. More follower more exposure I think, these will be your extra follower besides your real follower who will read your posts. Go to this link for the follower exchange, very good for people who are just starting up.

Welcome sa steemit sana mas marami ka pang ma i-post na blog it seems your desired profession is very interesting. Being or becoming a Veterinarian is really a hard job well nothing is easy though as long as you love what your doing. Keep it up and I hope to see more passion on you, by the way I have 2 cats I'm a pet lover as well. Are you about to graduate or how many more years before achieving your goal?

Thanks! I'll need 3 more years to graduate :)
