RE: Paths of gold: Would you be on Steem if your financial future was already secure?

in #steem6 years ago

I started for the chance to earn money to be a writer as my full time gig. Though I have money that flows in from other sources, I simply wanted to be a paid writer, and here was my chance.

I've stayed because there are so many people here I've grown to appreciate so very much. This is also an incredible resource for crypto info. It's not a perfect community for sure, but it's good enough to keep me coming back, despite the market dive meaning I've lost money on my combo of investment and activity instead of gaining any.

Sort:  

I wonder if in time, Steem will be able to be the natural hub of crypto information that can serve the masses?

How does it feel to be paid for your writing?

Well given I'm running this business at a loss, I can't say I actually feel like a paid writer, LOL. But there were those few weeks where hope was alive!

What price will you start to get paid again? :D

My average buy price was $1.28. So just to break even on money spent it would be that price. That's not accounting for actually earning anything on participation. A lot like the regular world of writing online, say for HuffPo, only with a different kind of hope that it will change your life. LOL

This is something I find interesting on Steem because unless investing earnings from other platforms very well, there is very little chance of it being life changing. And then, what kinds of thing would you have to invest into to be life changing?
