"You have to taste a few things before you can finally conclude which one is the best for you" Princessbusayo.
It all started in the year 2016 when I began writing on a platform (steemit). I moved from there to other writing platforms, some of which weren't hard to do. For instance, I have been on platforms where you don’t even have to write much; just a few captions with original pictures and you earn.
I never could have imagined that I would be earning in such a way that it would be comfortable, flexible, and easier than going out to work, then waiting for a salary at the end of the month, which some would even owe you. I became more active doing this online from the comfort of my zone. My dad fought with me many times, all because I was always pressing my phone - he didn't understand why I was doing that. Would you blame a father who wanted the best for his daughter?
I can't count the number of writing platforms I have joined. Most of them had crashed, but the time I spent was worth it. I never take anything for granted, and to say that spending more than a year in some was really a fortunate thing for me is a testament to that. I appreciated them while they lasted because they helped us survive then.
I remember the last writing platform I joined before coming to know Hive, where I earned a lot. One day, I had to calculate my earnings in a month and compare them to teaching jobs, and my final conclusion was that I love online work because they pay better than some of these offline jobs, especially teaching. That thought made me lose interest in working offline because after the whole stress you'd go through, you'd still be paid peanuts.
When I joined the Hive platform, and the few months I had been writing here, I came to realise that Hive has been the best so far from the writing platforms I have joined. This thought made me active and took it as a real job. I wasn't bothered when I had to stay each day for hours working because I knew it was the best place to be. I made friends and connections with other opportunities.
Hive became my favourite earning platform because, yes, it's a good place for honing your skills, getting rewarded for your time and effort, and even getting to enjoy more benefits that come with it. Hive made me fall in love with working online and staying in my room without being bossed around by some people. But right now, I am even bored staying at home all day 😀
But the truth is, Hive has been like my second home and so far surpasses the previous writing platforms I had encountered.
